Below are the paintings of mine that will be in the show. Remember, too, that I am now selling prints of my paintings online through the two websites Society6 and Deviant Art.
"Leaf Shadows" 20 x 44 acrylic, oil and colored pencil on canvas
As I was finishing up this painting (no leaves on it, yet) on the deck of one of our dwellings, I noticed the leaf shadows when standing back to critique the painting. I drew them onto the painting as exactly as possible from the shadows that were there.
"Orange Cloud Sunset - Lake Michigan" 15 x 60 acrylic on plywood
This is from a photo taken at the Lake Michigan beach in Hoffmaster State Park. In the photo the lake was black but I decided a deep blue would be a prettier, more interesting color. It was difficult to keep this painting just the sunset and not add in designs and dancers and other such things that most of my paintings have. I have to do things that are different for me from time to time.
"Homage to the Rising Suns" 12 x 37 ink, acrylic and colored pencil on plywood
Behind the colors are many birds, one person and lots of suns or moons or planets and designs.
"At the Museum of Other Worlds" 16 x 20 acrylic, oil and colored pencil on canvas
This painting is the second in the "Looking Through Windows" series. I have wonderful images/dreams come into my mind of looking through a very large window or window opening and gazing out on hills and clouds or sunsets and space. The nebulas and stars appeared quite on their own in this painting.
"Raiment of the Earth" 18 x 22 colored pencil and acrylic on canvas
This painting turned out to be a fun time with mostly drawing with well-sharpened black colored pencil. After applying acrylic medium over the lines I added color with acrylic washes. The lines remind me of all the intricate designs of shadow and light I see in leaves and bark, branches and grasses.
That's all for now . . . Thank you for visiting and perusing. Hope you enjoy looking at the pictures as much as I enjoy creating them.
