CHANGING IT UP

I decided I needed a little break. I have been running hard lately and have been a bit tired at night. Night is the time I have typically gotten my more serious work done. So I had to change it up a bit. I started work again on my leaf series. I really enjoy painting, my garden and nature and the result is my leaf paintings. Hope you enjoy them and know that if you should desire one, they are yours for the cheap prices of $40.00 each. Each original painting is gouche on "9 x 12" archival paper and comes unframed. If you should ever be interested in purchasing or finding out more about my art please email me. You can find my email at the top of this site.

I know my tastes seemed varied....and they are. However, I like to try my skills at many things. I am training my eye and trying to practice realism. I have a strong love of plants and an equal one for botanical art.

These images are from a show I had at the Glen Allen Cultural Art Center. I have a link to that site on the sidebar. I was interested in reinterpreting the Art Noveau style. I was also practicing with capturing texture and using glazing techniques. I have dabbled with faux art techniques and I tryed to incoprate what I was learning into some of these works. I am interested in period clothing and its patterns and textures.

This is a painting of my grandmother and a friend, just out of college and about to take their first cruise together. I love the nostalgia of this piece.

In this piece I began to get interested in the cup which is holding the flower. As I was working I realized there are so many elements to the whole composition. I thought I would work further with the glass on another day.


I'm just trying this out. At first I am going to try and post a study a day. I will probably miss some. Eventually I will add some more creative endevors.
