White Raven

8"x8" Raymar square panel $200.

Purchase HERE

Artist Note. 

As we are not allowed to copy any image

 off the internet, I took a photo of the 

White Ravens

from a video when it was playing.

I am sure you understand that 

it was not crystal sharp so 

this painting was difficult to do.

I abstracted the background and that was fun.

Pleased I managed to get 

something I like.

Still experimenting with the 

different fracturing techniques 

and that keeps me from

stabbing myself with my knife when I 

want to pack it all in!

Tulips From A friend

Tulips From A Friend

8x6in oil on canvas panel $135. SOLD

Artist Note.

Karen, one of the Guild members, 

set up a table generously 

piled with munchies

for an early Valentine celebration.

She also brought in  

this beautiful tulip plant 

for me.

I was immediately 

attracted to the 

zigzag paper wrapping 

and painted away 

very happily until half 

way through.

Uh-oh... I saw my goof -

the wrapping competes 

with the flowers.

see below.

 Remembering that only one

dominating focal area 

makes for a more comfortable 

eye flow, I had to change

something. 

 First I made the 

deeper green color

cut into 

the paper as shown,

 but it still didn't

work so I wiped off and 

started the lower area again

adding an extra tulip from 

the other side of the plant.

Improved? Yes - I feel it is better 

and I still had experienced

the enjoyment 

of painting 

the wiped off zig zag!

Sending my warmest 

Valentine hugs to 

all of you who follow my blog.

Have a Love filled day.

Give a love filled day

I am grateful for you all.
