Abstract and Colorful Flower Paintings and Mini Paintings

Happy 2017!

I started this year by lightening up and having a little fun with 

some colorful paintings.

I've worked with layering paint to create designs before like this

graffiti inspired dragonfly...

or this distressed layered paint design dragonfly where I

show how to create this look using a block of wood and paint.

I used the same block painting technique on this 

recycled architectural angel to give it an antique feel.

A few months ago while in bed with a cold, I watched 

Carrie Schmitt Surprise Garden online video course. 

It's about an hour long and well worth the $20 bucks.

It gets your mind flowing about different ways to utilize

paint layering techniques.

I started with these three.

They were painted on 16 x 16 cradled wood panels that I made.

See the video on my You Tube Channel.

Colorful beetle

A dragonfly...

I added gold metal leafing for a little sparkle.

It's fun seeing what direction the painting takes you.

Second dragonfly (sold)

I love the colors and texture in these.

This pair is made on 12 x 24 canvas. Sold individually but 

they look great together. See them in my shop or check them 

out on You Tube.

Lots of orange and pinks in this flower painting.

Perfect for the colorful home, a nursery or girl's room.

Fresh Art...

Oh! I just added these adorable mini paintings to the shop too.

They are 4" x 4" canvases, include a mini wood easel and 

FREE First Class shipping.

See them all under "mini paintings" section in my shop.

The perfect size for a desk, bedside, dresser or shelf and just right

for gift giving.

Thanks for taking a look!

Heron Painting, Egret, Turtle, Octopus, Seahorse and Crab Paintings, Sea Life Paintings, Coastal Art

Hello! 

I thought I would share some of my latest paintings with a coastal theme.

  

We live at the beach and try to go at least once a week to swim or walk as well

as a beautiful wetland conservation park nearby where you will find

us biking nearly every Saturday. The herons, egrets, turtles, fish and

sea birds we see are great inspiration for me when painting.

Nature is my muse!

Blue Heron Painting 24 x 48

(sold)

I found a great website that lets you place your artwork on 

a virtual wall so you can see how it will look in your home.

It's called WallApp and it comes with room scenes already 

installed for you to drag and drop your artwork or you can 

upload your own room view. 

Very easy to use, I highly recommend if you need this type of app

and I'm not compensated to say that ;)

This painting was a commission based on a 

photo my customer took while on vacation.

This was the inspiration photo.

Lots of texture in this painting.

A cute pair of small textured starfish on a 

watery background (Sold)

Another large 24 x 48 painting of a white egret (Sold)

White egret.

The first sea turtle painting I made sold on my birthday (!)

so I created another.

One watchful eye... 

So much fun creating this turtle!

Blue crab painting (Sold)

Foamy sea water...

He scurried off to his new home near the Mobile Alabama Bay.

This colorful crab painting has a little more going on ha!

lots of fun playing with color on this painting.

He even has a few touches of metallic gold.

Colorful seahorse painting on 24 x 48 canvas.

He looks great in my virtual room!

I'm also offering these as sea life note card sets sold in sets of five.

Octopus painting 12 x 24

Thanks for taking a look at my paintings. 

If you follow on Facebook or Instagram you may have seen the 

new mosaic octopus design in progress. 

I've retired my previous mosaic octopus design 

so I hope you stay tuned for that.
