Yesterday I finished the orange painting.I call it Divine, which is another word for anticipation. As my husband and I wait to close on our first home, we wait with anticipation and excitement. Orange is one of those colors that brings me happiness. It's bright, cheery...but in this painting there is more to it than just the color orange. There are layers of green, yellow, reds and browns. It's the layering that gives it depth and creates that world of unknown.
It's listed on www.samos.boundlessgallery.com , www.hometowngallery.com

Check them out! They'd look great on your wall! =)
It's been quite awhile since I've created a painting that I really like. My newest piece, White Grass, is one of my new favorites. I was inspired by my friend Elayna and her gorgeous hand painted silks. To me this painting reflects the coming of spring, new beginnings, and peacefullness.
Yesterday my sweet hubby made me a frame for the painting. He's pretty new to woodworking, but is really enjoying it. So I thought I'd spring a new project on him. When I returned from church last night, he already had it hanging in the living room! It looks so good. Thanks sweetie! xoxo
...I found out this weekend that I need to renew my membership to BoundlessGallery. So, I'll be doing that today. =) I also want to continue with this grass series. The next one is going to be smaller, but hopefully have some key similarities.
I'm going to be in a new show this month at Planet Earth and the Four Directions Gallery. I'm very excited because I created a painting specifically for this show and am pretty happy with the results. I made a mixed media painting that consists of four panels. I decided to take the definition of the heart, love, emotion, and language. Each panel has the definition collaged and then painted over in watercolor, acrylic, and latex. They are all very textured and make bold statements.

I painted quite a bit today. Here are a couple images of what I've been working on. They have since changed a little since the pictures were taken. They look a lot better now. =)
Reflect was inspired by the reflecting on our lives and how often we overlook the reflections we can actually see with our own eyes. Sometimes we look back on the past and are filled with a great satisfaction of accomplishments. Then there are other times that we just assume never happened. But if we look deeper into those precious memories, we realize that without all the trials of life, we wouldn't be able to appreciate what we have become.
Reflect was a commission that I accquired last month. Reflect I was part of a diptych and was given back to me yesterday. The client decided that one of the two paintings would be best. I'm happy to announce that it is now for sale at www.boundlessgallery.com and www.hometownartgallery.com . Don't miss out on this great opportunity. It's an awesome painting. For now, I'll be enjoying it!
I finished the latest commission today. It's a large diptych, each canvas measuring 30x40. I used multiple medias including oils, acrylics, and latex. Hope you likey! =)
