Tribute to Diesel

Tribute to Diesel – 12"X12" acrylics on canvas. I guess I do dog portraits now! I did one for my brother-in-law and he loved it. Then Diesel passed and I just had to paint his portrait for my sister and her family. Diesel was my dog-nephew. A weineramer and coon hound cross, he was a good dog, who was gentle, and who thought he was a lap dog! It felt great to paint larger after painting so many miniatures!! I started painting one 4"X4" miniature daily on May 1st 2015. After a

Peony Envy

Peony Envy – 4"X4" acrylics on masonite. This painting of a macro close up of an Itoh Peony is about capturing the vibrancy of the color and the addition of my new tube of Galleria Opera Rose makes it all possible. It isn't so much about the flower as it is about the shapes within the flower which combine to form an abstract. That's the beauty of nature! I started painting one 4"X4" miniature daily on May 1st 2015. After a near fatal drowning experience in 2013, I realized ju

A Golden Moment

Golden Moment – 4"X4" acrylics on masonite. Painting en plein air from nature again today. I started with an underpainting in blue and finished with an overlay of yellow. I didn't worry about perspective and just had fun! I started painting one 4"X4" miniature daily on May 1st 2015. After a near fatal drowning experience in 2013, I realized just how precious life is and I wondered why I was waiting to do what I loved most. I just wasn't finding the time. It took a while to

A Painting a Day #90 - Wildflower

Wildflower – 4"X4" acrylics on masonite. Painting en plein air from nature is a pleasure. I spotted this wildflower growing on the edge of our property. A very delicate subject.

A Painting a Day #89 - Glass Half Full

Glass half Full – 4"X4" mixed media on masonite. Painting en plein air from nature is a pleasure. This is a difficult flower to paint but I didn't worry about being too realistic. Instead I focussed on getting the essence of the flower. #blog #APAD #APaintingaDay #art #painting #miniature #originalart #acrylics #flower #purple #yellow #enpleinair #89

Purple Pleasure – 4"X4" mixed media on masonite. Painting en plein air today from nature is a pleasure. Contrasting colors and a gradation in the background makes the flower pop and adds interest.

A Painting a Day #69 - Art on the Patio

Art on the Patio – 4"X4" acrylics on masonite. I just took part in Art on the Patio at Festival Place and it was a beautiful sunny experience. Painting en plein air while listening to lovely music by local artists was inspiring. This Pansy had caught my eye as it sat on my cousin's balcony the other day. I snapped a pic and live painted it as I sat in the sun this evening. Can life get any better than this? I started painting one 4"X4" miniature daily on May 1st 2015. After a

A Painting a Day #60 - Transluscent

Transluscent – 4"X4" acrylics on masonite. Today's painting is of daisies from my garden and is all about transluscent petals constrasting with the dark leaves in the foregraound. I used a piece of masonite that I had prepared earlier with leftover paint which worked well. I often do this and it has never failed to work well with matching the image.

A Painting a Day #50 - Silent Gesture

Silent Gesture – 4"X4" acrylic on masonite. This painting is now available in my online store. No paint was wasted in the making of this artwork LOL! I use the leftover paint to fill the backgrounds for the next painting and this bkg really added movement as well as texture. Although it's a yellow flower there is alot of different colors in the petals. I started painting one 4"X4" miniature daily on May 1st 2015.

A Painting a Day #45 - The Wave

The Wave – 4"X4" mixed media on masonite. This painting is not available in my online store as it is SOLD to a good home. Another commission but I am posting late as I was away from my computer yesterday. A friend requested I do a painting of her wave petunias mixed with a bright yellow flower. She likes the colors. I used some glue for texture and used up some left over paint for the bkg. That fuschia color sure is hard to achieve but I think I got it! I started painting one

This is a painting of a yellow rose from the anniversary bouquet my hubby bought me. No the flower didn't last this long, but I took pics to use for reference. These colors are new for me. I usually paint alot of purple and reds but I am using up my old paint which is opening up my color pallette.

A Painting a Day #5 - Purple Flower

I am not up on flower names so I am not sure what kind of flower this one is. It drooped a bit as I had to take it out of the water to paint it properly. I am a drawer at heart so I just had to add the felt pen. #APAD #painting #blog #APaintingaDay #SOLD #flower #purple #miniature #art #mixedmedia #yellow #05
