Bubbles

Title: Bubbles
Genre: Fantasy
Medium: Acrylic
Size: 5" x 5"

Acrylic on wood panel, framed. Did this while listening to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. No, that cup is not a horcrux.

Sympathy and Grace

Title: "Sympathy and Grace"

Medium: Acrylic on canvas

Genre: Figurative, Magic Realism

Size: 14x11 inches

The figure was from a live session at AVAA in Austin, Texas. I added in the roses to give her something to think about, and also to enter the Daily Paintworks challenge. Pink roses symbolize sympathy and grace, which go nicely with her thoughtful expression. After the roses, a frog showed up, then a butterfly, then a key. Keys have gotten awfully popular of late, but I've decided to keep doing them anyway. 

Wilderness Teacup

"Wilderness Teacup"
Size: 18x18 inches
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Genre: Fantasy, Imaginative realism, Surrealism, Magical realism

This is about how we modern people relate to wilderness. For many of us, it's a road trip. It's also about the contrast between nature and the amenities of civilization. Both are fragile, yet both have an iconic strength.

Teacup and Rose - Theresa Taylor Bayer

Title: "Teacup and Rose"

Artist: Theresa Taylor Bayer

Medium: Acrylic on panel

Size: 8x8 inches

Genre: Still Life

A family member gave me some flowers for International Women's Day. The bouquet included some delicate pink roses, which just begged to be painted.

Owl Be Your Friend

"Owl Be Your Friend"
11x14
Acrylic on panel

This was a different palette from what I'm accustomed to using with viridian, alizarin crimson, and napthol crimson taking prominence. It's produced a very cool looking ambience, and that's something else that's new to me. Usually I'm into the warm palettes

Delicate Manners

Title: "Delicate Manners"
Medium: Acrylic on linen panel
Size: 8x8 inches
Genre: Still Life

Started this painting with my artist friend Eve Larson. She supplied the pansies, the vase, and the little gold dish off to the side, and I supplied the china teacup and saucer. It's great fun to paint with a buddy-- artists painting together give each other energy and inspiration.  Took pictures of it, then finished it at home.

Both china and flowers are delicate, but they make an strong and lasting impression on our senses.

This is a second version of "Study in Pink" which can be seen by scrolling down. Tried out straight realism with that one, but that just isn't me. I have to make it magical, hence the addition of pigs on pedestals, pansies, paisleys, polkadots, and a parrot. Playing with the letter "P." In which case, she must be a princess.

About this painting: Our thoughts have a profound influence on our lives. Like the rope in the painting, a line of thought can seem to take on a life of its own.
