Before there was orange - there was yellow...

I was just checking sales on a few sites that sell my art prints and there was a sudden burst of spring & summer! My sales of the Yellow Petals series went very well this week...which has otherwise been very slow. Maybe it's just seasonal because it's the start of summer and these pieces are very summery or maybe yellow is the new green or something like that. At any rate - it really doesn't matter. What matters is that they sell and people like them and they are cute and bright and frankly - this week has been pretty dang bright! so it's a perfect fit. Here they are and a link to Artist Rising. Page 16 for these specific images. or art print purchases. Page 16.

and then there was orange...

...and green. These pieces were originally created in Tiffany Blue for a client but then I got to thinking that with a few changes...flip a little...change some layers...add and subtract some lines I could come up with new images. Thus we have three new ones  - two citron green and one tangerine tango. They will be set up as posters by the weeks end.

Celestial Encounters

I had these extra panels sitting around and I just started thinking that they really needed circles...and then they needed clouds so the clouds and the circles got together and made Celestial Strangers 1, 2 & 3. Now they just need some moondust sprinkled. Anyone get the Carpenters reference? anyone?

More Tiffany Blue

I planned on only doing four of these images but five just seemed better. So here we have the last three Tiffany Blue pieces. I have uploaded these to my Artist Rising site and to Imagekind for posters. Next thing is to change the leaf colors for several new sets. I'm thinking citron green...and ....orange!

Tiffany Blue

A customer requested a set of posters in Tiffany blue that were similar in style to my liquid floral images. I just sent these to her for review...hope she liked them! I will do four in all which will go up on Imagekind and Artist Rising soon. Enjoy and thanks for visiting.

Urban voices...

I completed these over the weekend.  What a job! There are so many layers and often times...most of the time actually - I had to wait for each part to dry before doing the next part so I would paint a small section ..set it out to dry...clean the brush...bring the painting back in...paint again. Repeat.
I am happy with the way they came out however. The next plan is to clean them up a bit digitally to make them ready for posters. and then..I'm going to have some fun. I think I will digitally chop up the last four paintings and create a whole new series of posters and add digital elements. I'm excited to get started with this!
Anyway - here are the pieces. Check back soon to get links for posters. 
Urban Mythology One & Two - 4"x 8" on wood panel.

Sun Rays

Here are two mixed media pieces on wood panel. 8x10. I've been influenced by sunrays lately. I love the bold movement and energy of sunrays but I don't want them to look perfect. I want them to look real. After I painted them I sanded them a bit which brought out some of the background. Both of these paintings had several paintings underneath which I always believe makes the top painting better. I will be adding them as posters on Imagekind and Artist Rising soon.
