Day 11: 30 Days - 30 Paintings - Sept. 2016

Indestructible Spirit

Indestructible Spirit reveals the continued American Spirit in the wake of the heart-breaking disaster of this day in the past.  It shows the split in our collective psyche - but also the healing aspects that have allowed us to go on.  It  bestows hints of metallic gold and bronze in the form of acrylic mixed media on canvas - including a painted clay piece, a leather-looking painted paper piece, a mono-printed surface and of course several healing Sri Yantras...

Peace...

Day 4: 30 Days - 30 Paintings - Sept. 2016

Bubble Up

So far most of these paintings seem to be revolving around a theme better called, "Where's the Sri Yantra?"  If you haven't already, view Days 1 and 2 for more information about the symbol.  

This painting has a series of smooth textual elements in the bubbles along with a clay piece that contains the Sri Yantra image in relief.  I find the use of white space to be relaxing to the eye.  The piece is painted on 300 lb watercolor paper.  Note:  The photo gives the background a slight purplish tinge - but in actuality it is bright white.

Enjoy!

Canyon Lands

Today presents a textured, mixed media piece that depicts the canyon lands of Arizona. You can see by the size and intensity of the sun that it has been a long, hot summer. :o) 

There are some shiny sections which are not apparent in the photo, but very visible in person.

Out of the Blue

The 6" X 24" canvas shape was intriguing to work with.  I enjoyed making use of some interesting mixed media components. The piece demanded that I listen to how it wanted to evolve - so I did.  I'm guessing that your canvases talk to you as well, right?  :o)

Breakthrough

I had the distinct pleasure and privilege of taking two workshops with Carol Nelson in early August during Art Unraveled in Phoenix.  It was everything you want workshops to be - well organized, fun, instructive, well paced and full of ideas and new techniques.  They were both utterly delightful.  If you ever get a chance to take one of Carol's workshops/classes - do it!

Below is one of the mixed-media pieces that I began in class and finished later at home.  I loved working with the unusual 3" X 12" panel shape, plus all the other fun elements.  I enjoyed working on this piece very much.

Oceans of Gold

In keeping with my apparent theme of water paintings with shiny things in them - here's another.  I like the theme.  This painting was loosely inspired by the recent headlines of an Orlando family discovering some fifty, 300 year old gold coins in only fifteen feet of water off the Florida coast. However, my favorite part of this story is the fact that the family named its  treasure hunting vessel "AARRR BOOTY".

I'm now thinking that the proper name for this highly textured, gold, bronze and blue painting should be:  Oceans of Gold: Aaarr Booty.

Wishing Upon a Stream

Today's mixed-media painting illustrates the flow of a cool, clear stream.  The clarity of the water shows shiny treasures to be found in the stream bed. It gives the feeling that the stream is like a wishing well - acknowledging the bright flashes of positive feelings of those who wished upon the stream.
