It’s A Jungle Out There!

Jungle Boogie copy copy

Today is day 30 of Leslie Saeta’s 30 in 30. A big thank you to Leslie for hosting this annual challenge.

Although I did not manage to get 30 paintings done as I had several projects and paintings due for exhibits, I was able to finish this larger painting over the past two weeks.

Right now I would be happy to be lounging on a branch in the jungle, soaking up the warmth in a secret hide away.

And the poppies…well…there are seed heads in the upper right quadrant!

This is a 12″ x 9″ Ink and Watercolor on Aquabord.

Lounge Leopard

All cats are Leopards after dark

Busy month but tomorrow I hope to post one of my larger paintings which I am just finishing up.

This pensive little guy is all ready to get his spots.

“All Cats Are Leopards After Dark”   Attributed to a Native American proverb.

HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE

HERE THERE AND EVERYWHERE 2013

This is the latest painting I have created. Wow, this took days to do given the detail and the need to work with the brush in one direction to get an even surface. This painting will surely be going to my exhibit in Europe this summer unless it sells before then.

HERE THERE AND EVERY CLOSE UP

You might notice that the background sparkles. The patterns are done in copper so there is a lovely glow to the painting depending on how you look at it and whether there is light shining on it.

I’m adding a few close ups as the patterns are quite intricate and surprising to look at.IMG_4056

This is the upper right corner.

These creatures are all having a caucus.

This is a 9″ by 12 ” Ink and Watercolor on Aqua Board. The largest painting on aqua board I have done to date. It is varnished and framed in a shadow box frame. They would really love to come live in your home.

Here they are, all 30 paintings in a collage.

PicMonkey Collage3Well 30 days has passed and I started 2 paintings  yesterday that I am going to turn into encaustics. I certainly think I would have gotten the award for the most variety in media on this challenge. A lot of this was experimentation for me as what I normally do takes several days to complete. The collage was made by a cool program called picmonkey.

Now I am turning back to working on my Rousseau like paintings that I will be needing for an exhibition. I usually complete a painting in a week.

Happy Ground Hog Day and happy birthday to my dear friend Patricia Barr who is working in chilly Fairbanks, Alaska!

WATCHING YOU!, 30 PAINTINGS IN 30 DAYS, DAY 3

Watching You!

This leopard was just woken from his nap and is looking at you. The bushes are hiding snakes and the lizard is climbing the tree.

This is my 3rd in a month long project of 30 paintings in 30 days started by Leslie Saeta. I continue to make paintings influenced by the  style of Henri Rousseau. I have 3 large ones and a small one inked in that I am hoping to paint during over the month of January plus several ideas percolating in my head.

This painting is 5 by 7 and is Ink and Watercolor on Aqua Board that I varnish and place in a shadow box. SOLD

I’ve Got My Eyes On You!


I’ve Got My Eyes On You!

I was working on this piece so that it would be in the Art Stable Gallery’s Holiday Open House yesterday. Thanks to everyone who came and joined in our holiday cheer.

In this painting, I went crazy with patterns.I love the work of Henri Rousseau and have made another painting influenced by his style. This leopard is eyeing the Mother Goddess. The bird monkey is wondering what the offspring will look like. That will be for another painting.

This is an 8″ by 8″ Ink and Watercolor on 2″ deep cradle board. You can see this work  as well as many more of my works at the Art Stable Gallery weekends through Christmas from noon to 4:00PM.

This painting sold at the Holiday Open House.
