New Artwork- Pretty in Pink

‘Pretty in Pink’
20″ x 16″
Oils on flat canvas panel
Available for purchase on my web site in the 2010 gallery.

Pretty in pink started out as an ACEO named ‘Preen’. I sold that ACEO but I really liked the painting, so I did it bigger this time and in oils. Ok, I really like it! I had so much fun with this, and I am having so much fun with painting all the birds, I can’t get over it….who would of thought? Well, I am the BAD! Kitty so maybe it’s not that weird afterall. I hope the fun and excitement I had creating this work shows through for you all.

Let me hear from you, you know I love attention, so gimme some love.

Meow! Thanks for being here, have a great day!

New Art- Blue Moon & Zoltans Dive

Blue Moon
18″ x 24″ x 2″
Oils
Ready to hang, thick box canvas w/ painted sides needs no frame
Here is the quote that goes with this work:
“We are the music-makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea breakers, And sitting by desolate streams; World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world forever, it seems. “
Arthur William Edgar O’Shaughnessy

Zoltans Dive”
18″ x 24″
oils
back stapled canvas, needs no frame, painted sides
Ready to hang
Here is the quote that goes with this work:
“Everything the Power of the World does is in a circle. The Sky is round and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball and so are all the stars. The Wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nests in circles. … The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same, and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were.”
John Neihardt

and this one too:
The great lesson from the true mystics, from the Zen monks, and now also from the Humanistic and Transpersonal psychologists, is that the sacred is in the ordinary, that it is to be found in one’s daily life…in one’s own backyard.
Abraham Maslow

My newest works; I completed them in tandem. Both are limited palette paintings, both are moody and mysterious. Rich in colors and tone. The Moon painting is bright even in darkness, which is of course, what I was going for…like the moon, it glows just a little.
The bird painting is inspired by the Dark Tower series of books by Stephan King. I’m re-reading the series at the moment and one character always strikes my imaginary muse…Zoltan the giant mutant raven. So here is my version of Zoltan…as he puts the moon to bed for another day. His eyes really get me, he looks serious about his job. I like his work ethic.

I’ve been working in studio again, I admit it feels really good to be back in a groove. More work coming in the days ahead, so stay tuned. Both of these paintings will be available shortly at the web site.

Thanks for being here today, I sure appreciate it. Please leave me a comment, I get lonely up in here, talk to me.

Full painting

full painting from an angle so you can see the transparent redness of the water and the wonderful green lotus pads.

Close up on the golden lotus (that’s washed out in this picture) it is really very deep golden yellow, and the fish is a tan-ish color, not yellow

Here is the quote that is inspiring it:

When oxygen and hydrogen find one another, their joining produces fiery passion. Out of this fire, water is born. Quaint Victorian chemistry gives us an image of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms in a fixed molecule that bounces around from place to place. The reality of water is not so orderly. The hydrogen atoms are not owned by any particular oxygen atom. Water is a substance very much in love with itself, and the atoms connect in webs and clusters where oxygen shares around the hydrogen atoms freely, a fluid situation indeed. ~Ian D. Anderson

***

The water is the richest red I have ever been able to achieve in a painting, so that pleases me to no freaking end. The pictures are weird because of the light here today. I wanted to capture the two beautiful butterfly koi at the waters edge during a brilliant blazing red summer sunset. The rays of the diminishing sun turning the shallows into a ruby red stream bed for just that moment. The fish were so much fun to paint, and I want to show them at play. The water is really layers of color so it’s see through, you can see the fishes fins and the movement of the water as they swish along. I know water isn’t supposed to be red, but it’s my world and I liked the idea of a red tinted water world for my frolicking fish.

I hope you all have day filled with imagination and the power to do something with it.

Love to all,
