Beseeching [acrylic, 14”x18”] – again

I intended to set this aside today, and then I knew what I needed to change…  tomorrow I’m doing something different FOR SURE!   The jury is still out on this one… meanwhile, enjoy!

Beseeching [acrylic, 14”x18”]

I’ve been puttering at this one again today and, although I think there is more to do, I’m going to set it up on the shelf again for a while until I figure out what.  I think the title “Beseeching” suits it well…       Cheers!

Acrylic Start…. sloooowly moving along

I last posted about this painting back in May and I’ve been looking at it once or twice per week since then.  Yesterday, realizing that I would never resolve it without making at least a small change, I charged in.  There’s lots to do still, things to fix and add, but I think it is finally taking a new shape and direction.  Stay tuned, someday I may finish this one, haha!

Hollyhocks x3

Three very different versions of the pink hollyhock…  from left to right – Sally’s, Lindsey’s, and mine.  These were painted on Thursday afternoon when we still had summer here.  They even look like summer don’t they?  Enjoy!

Delicious [watercolor, 7.5”x11”]

I painted this yesterday while sitting on my friend Lindsey’s back deck.  It was a great day to paint outside – just the right temperature [22 C] and NO bugs!  These apples were an amazing purplish red color with little bits of green.  Nice to look at but tough to sort out on the palette.  The reflections in the white plate were fascinating…  the combined result of the blue sky overhead, the purplish apple color, and the silver teapot sitting in the background.  Enjoy!

Celebrate Summer [acrylic on board, 8”x10”]

I see the quiet and refreshing days of summer in the juicy greens and quiet violets in the background of this abstract.  Then there’s the exciting aspects of summer – lots of anticipation, planning, and then the FUN times all represented by the brightly colored weaving lines and paths.  I hope you all had fun this summer!  It’s hard to believe it’s [almost] over.  Cheers!

Coming [acrylic on wood panel, 12”x9”]

This is Chuck’s buoy as he is coming back in from boating.  This was a very different day than the day I painted “Going”.  Rather than blue skies above, it was a bit overcast making the sky reflections much more grey and there were lots of ripples. 

Now that this is done, I’m not sure that “Coming” and “Going” will make a set.  What do you think?
