A Cup to Enhance - Sold

6x6 Mixed Media on cradled panel 

A departure from landscapes with another mixed media tea cup collage. I had this unfinished piece sitting around for months and decided it was time to finish it. It is available at Arts Underground.

In the Folds of the Fissures - SOLD

                                                       12x12 Mixed Media on panel

I've been exploring more mixed media works along with my regular use of acrylics in painting people, places, and things. In creating art, I still swing between realism and imaginative work. I often will turn from painting a landscape to something totally new and loose, and let the process dictate the outcome.

I've discovered gold! The results are so satisfying. I enjoy the effects that occur when painting over gold leaf. (This photo just doesn't do this piece justice. It is rich with a gold hue and shine, and very textural.)

At the time I was creating this a dear person in my life was going through great trauma. I was often thinking of her pain - praying she would be comforted and protected. When I called the piece "finished" and took a step back, even I was surprised. It was obvious my subconscious emotions were embedded in this work.

 Can you spot anything being "held within the folds"?

Whispering Trees - SOLD

                                                           8x10 Mixed Media   SOLD

I've been painting trees a lot. Perhaps it is the fact that I am physically surrounded by trees. I love watching how they move and change through weather and seasons. I am particularly moved by the sound they make.

Abstract: Moving Life - SOLD

                                                       8x10 Mixed media on canvas

A second "abstract". This was was an evolutionary process taking place over a stretch of time. It is also a bit of an experiment using acrylic modeling paste, text, stamped images etc.
Available at Arts Underground.
