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.

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

Flapper
"Flapper" 8x10 acrylic on canvas. This one has a soft burnt sienna glaze over the whole thing, to soften the look of it.

Time, distance, and circumstances may separate us from friends and loved ones, but love knows no boundaries nor impediments.
This was a small profile study I made on unstretched Yes! canvas and I liked it, so I affixed it to a panel. I often use a profile as my gateway image whenever I am stuck creatively. I was kind of blocked for several months, but it has passed, and I am now back to happily working in my studio.

At the Window, Looking Inwards
"At the Window, Looking Inwards"
8x8 acrylic on upcycled hardboard panel
Genre: Portrait
This is a study for a painting, but it became a thing in itself, because the painting I'm planning doesn't have a window in it. I added in the window because the composition needed something more, so here she is, at the window but looking into her own thoughts instead of gazing at whatever is out there in the world.

Terlingua Golden
Title: "Terlingua Golden"
Medium: Acrylic on Raymar panel
Size: 12x9 inches
Genre: Figure, Realism
Lately I'm pulled very strongly in the direction of realism. The idea for this one is the Terlingua Ghost Town of Terlingua, Texas. I've got a lot of photos of those old adobe ruins, and I've been wanting to populate them.
She's holding an apple, and I got to thinking how rare a crisp, juicy apple would be out in the summer heat of Terlingua in the 1930's. It would have to be imported from up north, and would no doubt be rather expensive.

In the Pink
Title: "In the Pink"
Genre: Figurative
Size: 11 x 14
Medium: Acrylic on wrapped canvas with painted sides
Click to bid
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.

The Pumpkin Lady
Title: The Pumpkin Lady
Medium: Acrylic on panel
Size: 7x5 inches
Genre: Fantasy
This year, I'm getting an early start on Autumn. Used to be I'd wait till Thanksgiving. This one is part of my "Ladies in Funny Hats" series, only she's got a cat and no hat. It's based on an old ACEO I did several years ago, see below. One more thing: Can you find the heart hidden in the composition?

Work in Progress, Day 2
Work In Progress
Medium: Acrylic on stretched wrapped canvas
Size: 10x8
Genre: Fantasy
Started it out with a live model, and now am completing it with photos taken at the modeling session. I will be adding other elements, such as the column in the background, possibly some flowers in the front. Maybe a creature in the background, and some trees. We'll see! I'll post it even if it doesn't come out to meet my expectations.

Know Thyself
"Know Thyself"
Size: 14x11 inches
Medium: Acrylic on wrapped canvas
Genre: Fantasy
This painting was accepted into the Rites of Spring 2013 show.
The scroll says "Owknay Aythay Elfsay." Hope you can guess what that means & what language it is! The frog is there because I wanted an interaction between the figure and another character. The columns are there because I love Ionic columns.

Work in Progress, Detail
Work in Progress. Acrylic on stretched canvas. The finished art will be 8x10; this is a detail. I started it from a live model and got the head/shoulders done. The rest of the figure will be finished from a photo. Working from life provides visual information that a photograph doesn't; while a photo simplifies shapes and values, so each is useful to work from.

Here is the map...
"Treasure Map" Size: 10x8. Medium: acrylic on canvas. Genre: fantasy.
Here's the map, done. Guess where I put my artist signature. Worked on the background a bit, to push the trees back. That right side background still needs some definition, so it's not finished yet. But getting close, at least I hope so.
Treasure Map WIP 3
"Treasure Map" Work in progress, Day 3
Size: 10x8
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Genre: Fantasy
So far so good. Background needs to be pushed back; it's encroaching. The right side background especially needs something, because it's kind of "dead." I'm happy with how the frog turned out. Not too sure about the butterfly. Tried it with a brighter color, but it definitely should be light. Anyways, from here on out it's mainly work on the background.

Treasure Map: Work in Progress
"Treasure Map" Work in Progress. Size: 10x8. Medium: acrylic on canvas. Genre: Fantasy.
The face is finished, and hopefully the hand, although it may need a little pink added. Yup, that's a frog on her hat, but it's artificial, so it's not very heavy. The butterfly, however, is real. The butterfly is offering to lead her to the correct place to dig. The frog, being artificial, is entirely useless in that regard.
