Day 29: 30 Days - 30 Paintings - Sept. 2016

Spiraling Out of Control

This painting is either spiraling out of control or it's having a bad hair day. :o)  In reality it features molding paste on 140 lb. watercolor paper.  To me it is whimsical, happy and makes me smile.  Who doesn't want more joy and fun in their life???

Happy New Year!!!

Welcome to Day 1 of the January, 2016 Thirty Day Challenge!  I find the experience of producing daily paintings to be both exciting and daunting.  Some days feel more successful than others - and the process always nudges me forward.

Follow along for the month as we watch what unfolds together...

Today's painting consists of some of my favorite colors.  In addition, it has many shiny elements that are difficult to capture in a photo - but they are there - capturing the reflective and refractive qualities of light.  Enjoy...

Spirit of Autumn

I enjoyed the evolution of this painting.  From humble beginnings it slowly grew into a highly textured and colorful expression of what I envision the Spirit of Autumn may embody.

Purple Print Four Ways

The mono-print below appears to be one of those that has can be viewed rather successfully from any side - vertical, horizontal, up or down.  

Which do you prefer? #1, #2, #3 or #4?

Let me know.

Also - did anyone notice any shells in the mono-print? (Refer back to Days 6 & 7 for the significance of the shell in my work.)

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)

Desert Dance

In my opinion, everything about this piece reflects my view of what it's like to live in the desert - from colors to shapes - but mostly the feel.  To me this piece calmly yells (yes, that can be done): heat, amazing sunsets, texture, rocks, turquoise, intensity, did I mention heat? In the midst of all of that, you either love it or not.  It really is about the Phoenix rising from the ashes.  If you want to experience personal transformation and growth - move to Phoenix. It's always in your face and not for the feint of heart...just saying...  :o)

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.

Underwater Outcrop

The underwater theme continues today with what may be a whimsical underwater outcrop along the ocean floor?  Or a frolicking sea tortoise?  Or Sedona Red Rocks underwater?  

Enjoy the refreshing water and whatever it is that you may see...

Keep your swimsuit out - more water tomorrow!

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.

Autumn Flow Glowing

For much of the country, September is the harbinger of the Fall.  The nighttime temperatures begin to slide and the leaves begin to transition to the complementary colors of the green of the waning Summer.  

Today's painting is a mixed-media presentation using Daniel Smith Water Soluble Oils as a base on an Ampersand panel with the addition of paper, foil,  wrapped clay and other shiny things. It is a tribute to the warm glow of Autumn before it is extinguished by coming cold blasts of Winter.
