New Acrylic Painting Scene Available - "Busy Bee"

Busy Bee

At the end of April we had an amazing turn out of 44 painters for the Kora Fundraiser and we have another function coming up next week for the Lodge in Minot Maine.

Here's the newest painting scene I've created for them. They'll choose their own color of flower they want to do. We'll be adding this one as a scene for our future group choices so if you are interested in holding a Company Team Building Event or Fundraiser and live in Midcoast Maine please send me a note!

This painting is done with Acrylics on a 16x20" canvas (Affiliate Link) with a 1" gallery wrap.
I"m working on a pineapple next and if you have some ideas you would like to see, please share them with me!

In the mean time - happy painting!

What A Hoot - ing Good Time Painting With Kids!

Art Class

I had the honor of Painting and instructing this week during school vacation with the Town of Gray-Parks & Recreation for a second time! We painted these adorable yellow owls with Acrylics on a 16x20" Canvas. Each painting has it's own unique and special feel - LOVE THEM!

Such an amazing group of kids, very polite, really great listeners, and terrific artists to boot. I can remember how hard it was for me at that young age to focus, so for them to focus on my Art instructions for almost 2 hours, wow - they did and incredible job!!! 

The kids are a HOOT and they told me many fun facts about owls - they even did an owl clay craft that morning before I got there in preparation, I wish I had taken a picture.

Thank you all for having me back! I'm looking forward to painting again with you all.

Keep Painting ~

Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day Eighteen "Make a Wish

"Make A Wish"

40x30" Oil on Canvas

$900

 Wasn't sure where I was going with this one today, but I really had a great time being free to let it take me where the painting wanted to go.....Really loved the freedom of it!

 Check out the ART HAIR - well, honestly if you know me...this is how my hair is almost all the time. Put it up and get it out of the face kind of do!

Got this HUGE 40x30 Canvas for Christmas and I've been waiting until the mood hit me to paint something one it.

Have to work on painting the edges/sides later tonight....maybe after the football game - GO PATS!!
That's my wish - for them to win the super bowl!

Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day Nine

"The Red Hoodie"

6x6 Oil on Deep Edge Canvas

$100

This is my first attempt with oil's doing a pet portrait - could really use the feedback on this one from you all. I'm so use of doing them in watercolor with "A LOT" of details and many many layers.

I decided to start with a small 6x6" canvas and I have to admit that I really had a blast with this! Much different with the oils...I used only 1 brush (challenging myself this 30 days) and used thick paint and larger strokes. Not as clean looking as watercolor but I'm kinda digging it.

I've painted "Mr Puck" before with watercolor....here's the difference.

He's just the cutest little "Star", thank you to Georgia for allowing me to paint him again!

Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day Eight

 "More On The Way"

6x6" Oil Deep Edge Cotton Stretched Canvas 

$100

I think I'm in love with the larger brush strokes and using only one brush!  I found these little mini 6x6" Deep Edge Canvas in my "Art Supply" closet, or my outside porch area. It's the little back porch that has the best view of the back yard and the water view, yet it's turned into my "stash" area for the winter.

That will change once the warmer weather comes, because we plan to finish that room off and make it into a "nice" charming/cozy area to drink our morning coffee and stare blissfully at the beautiful view we own, and yes I mean we "OWN" ....as in Mortgage Free!

Having no mortgage and a simplified home allows me to do what I love everyday! I am so lucky to have the support of my wonderful family and friends, and of course none of this would be possible if it wasn't for my collectors!

   Our backyard - see this is looking out my "stash area" window!

There is More on the way...day 9 starts soon!

Sailboat

 Original Oil Painting on Canvas

4x4" - $89.95

Oh how I love these mini canvases! This is another small Oil painting "Warm Breezy Day" on a deep canvas 4x4". The light fluffy clouds...on a warm breezy day in Maine.

Working on a lighter touch and more bold strokes with the oil paints.  I really like the softness of the this one. 

Hope you enjoy it!

Thirty Paintings in 30 Days -Day 17

 Just got in my canvas order - I was so excited because they were on back ordered! My plan was to paint 30 small oil paintings for the challenge, but these little buggers didn't want to join in on the plan, so I've been bouncing between Oils, Watercolor and inks.

I do enjoy a little change up!

These are so cute and are the perfect travel piece for the JetPort! They should be dry and ready for the Holiday season! The size is 4x4 with a deep canvas edge.

Shot before I added the sailboat.

"End of Summer Sail" 

$99.99 Oil on Museum Canvas 4x4"

 

 I've had a number of folks looking for sailboats or boat pictures so I added the sailboat in.

 This piece is still wet and drying on the little stand for now, but I will be adding a wire to the back.

New Art Print Display Stand for Holiday Fairs!

Look what I got in the mail today from Amazon and it was on sale! It's going to be perfect for my holiday fairs this year. It's really light weight and easy to just pop on the legs!

Small Folding Canvas Print Display Rack with Aluminum Legs - Testrite

I've shown it here with my Blue Lobster Print - the Backing board is a 16x20 so you can grasp the size of mats it will hold.

The pocket depth is around 5" in width so it should hold quite a bit of prints. I also found this great little roll of tape that I am using around the edges of my print sleeves to make them look like a package for the holidays! They have a bunch of different ones...so cute and professional looking.

"Koi" Watercolor on 8x8 Clayboard

"Koi" 8x8 Watercolor on clayboard

Koi Fish are such beautiful creatures, and they can grow up to 2 feet long!

 In Japan the meaning behind a Koi Fish is that they bring good fortune and luck or perseverance in adversity and strength of purpose. 

I used a new watercolor canvas called

Ampersand Aquabords - 8 x 8, Aquabord, Deep Cradled, 2

 This is the first time I have painted on Aquabord - and I found it extremely fun. Although....I'm such a horrible direction's reader. You are suppose to wet the board first to remove any air bubbles. I didn't...but I was lucky it turned out okay. I did wet the area I was painting before I layered in the paint, so that's probably why.
