Acrylic and mixed media on wood panel

12" x12" 

$275

A framed abstract composition features nine circular shapes with varied patterns and bold colors, predominantly red, green, and blue. The background is textured with a mix of brushstrokes and splashes of color.

Nine circles are very symbolic in cultures, religion and literature. The number nine symbolizes completeness, universality and the culmination of a cycle.

 

Morning Walk

12" x12"

Mixed media on wood panel

There are two of these bird compositions with interesting abstract backgrounds that took a long time and a lot of experimentation to evolve into this exciting presentation.

Detailed black and white drawing juxtaposed with a textured, loose background makes for an exciting difference.

How do you feel about green? What about green with some roses?

Beautiful greens always remind me of the landscape after the rain. many artists have tried to capture these inspiring fleeting moments including Vincent van Gogh. This painting has snippets of those washed out colors in the landscape around my home.

The second image shows details of the work with truer colors.

 

Flowers for Jackie

Flowers For Jackie 

 Acrylic, collage and mixed media on wood panel

12”x12”

16"x16" framed size

$500

Fresh flowers being a refreshing energy in spring.
This painting explores the lines of nature and the beauty of flowers in a vase, created in layers and interesting brush strokes. In an attempt to merge florals and abstraction this painting went through many variations.
I wanted the flowers to retain their organic shape, ethereal qualities and the painting to stay true to elements of abstraction like surface quality, texture, lines, marks, collage and mixed media paint.
This version keeps all those qualities intact. Do you agree? 

This painting is currently in the Rockport Art Assoc and Museum show exhibit will be in April 2022 titled "Jacki's Flowers" to honor our beloved Jacki Harrington, that left this earth this past December.

The King and Queen of Hearts. 

I have always wanted to paint the characters in a cards deck.

Disney characters, comic characters, Alice in Wonderland characters so here is a small 6”x6” painting of the King and Queen of Hearts. This is intended to be a fun set and would be a cool feature in any room. It is mixed media on wooden board. Original artwork.

Makes an excellent gift for fans of pop culture, poker players, romantic couples bedroom decor.

Fruit Bowl

12" x 12"
Acrylic and mixed media on gallery-wrapped canvas
SOLD

This painting is inspired by the one thing that is present in almost every home - a fruit bowl. A dish, vessel, tureen, pot, container to hold produce. Because it is such a universal idea it holds a lot of fascination for me as a painter. I had a lot of fun coming up with the colors and textures for this painting.
Drawing some of the fruits in was a last minute decision because just leaving it as an abstract painting might not appeal to everyone.

red roses in blue vase

Nothing says “I love you” like red roses. The bold reds and pinks in this painting symbolizes love, beauty, courage, respect, and romantic love.
Alcohol inks allow me to find the most vivid reds and deep pinks for this occasion.

Summer Arrangement

Beautiful blooms vividly captured in an abstract, impressionistic style. This imaginary floral composition captures the magnificent colors of nature using alcohol inks. The bold colors and imagery convey joy, beauty and graceful forms of nature.

red roses

Another vibrant alcohol painting inspired by flowers. What's more romantic than vibrant red roses? Alcohol as a medium lends itself to vibrant results, and the beautiful dots/cells are an added bonus.

Jar of Olives

Olives have been a favorite of artists since ancient times.
At the end of 1889, Van Gogh painted different versions of his olive tree paintings,more recently Michael Godard paints a more modern version of olives.I also enjoyed painting my jar of olives with my experimental stencil design in the background.

"Peacocks are large, colorful pheasants (typically blue and green) known for their iridescent tails. These tail feathers, or coverts, spread out in a distinctive train that is more than 60 percent of the bird’s total body length and boast colorful "eye" markings of blue, gold, red, and other hues. The large train is used in mating rituals and courtship displays. It can be arched into a magnificent fan that reaches across the bird's back and touches the ground on either side. Females are believed to choose their mates according to the size, color, and quality of these outrageous feather trains.
It is the national bird of India, and has several references in Indian myths, legends and religious scriptures.


The background design is done with a resist/masking technique in warm colors to showcase the purples and blues on the body of the bird. 

This year i have 3 commissions for peacock paintings, so i am going to paint several paintings of peacocks in various sizes. This is the first one!
