New Every Morning #46

Image
New Every Morning #46 This morning, we had heavy, blue-gray clouds bringing much needed rain to our area, and I thought it would be a perfect background for my next leaf painting. What an interesting new thing to be painting! It is kind of a still life, and kind of a floral, and whichever of those you might consider the painting to be, it is sure not my normal abstract painting.  $100.00 plus shipping and handling 6" x 6" Painted with the finest quality heavy-body acrylic paint on acid-free, heavy weight Fabriano watercolor paper Ready to frame Click here to view or purchase on my website. Mostly painted with a brush, I think this leaf is a pretty good companion to yesterday's palette knife leaf painting, partly because I used the same group of colors on both. I just hope the colors look right on your screen, because they are vibrant.  This weekend we are expecting a lot of hours in the vehicles as we shuffle paintings from place to place. While I wouldn't necessarily...

New Every Morning #45

New Every Morning #45 New Every Morning was the title for a series I started several years ago, and I had thought I was finished with this series, but today I chose to start working on the same series again. This time, though, I have started adding more representational work to the series. The earlier part of the series is almost all abstract paintings.  $100.00 plus shipping and handling 6" x 6" Painted with the finest quality heavy-body acrylic paint on acid-free, heavy weight Fabriano watercolor paper Ready to frame Click here to view or purchase on my website. I walked in the woods today, and the gorgeous leaves kept me paying close attention! I brought several up to the house. The sky this morning was an amazing pink color, so I wanted to represent that as I worked on this palette knife painting of one of the leaves I brought home, too.  Lamentations 3:22-23 22 Because of the Lord’s faithful love  we do not perish,  for His mercies never end.  They are new ...

Weight of Glory

  Weight of Glory It has been absolutely too long since I have been able to release a new painting, so it brings me GREAT excitement to finally have a new one to share with you! But as usual, I wish you could see it in person.  2 Corinthians 4:17 For our momentary light affliction is producing for us an absolutely incomparable eternal weight of glory .  $1300.00 plus shipping and handling 48" x 18" Painted with artist quality heavy-body acrylic paint on 1.5” deep gallery wrapped canvas, composition gold leaf Edges painted black Click here to view or purchase on my website. I started working on this painting probably in August, and it was finished in early October. I loved painting the full earlier layers using limited colors that I seldom paint with. I had packed all of my regular colors to take a workshop, so I chose to start this one with less familiar colors. A pleasing but complex pattern began taking shape, and I wanted to tame it while still allowing the beauty to s...

Lots of news...

The Power of Hope, 2023. In a corporate collection Well, I have so many things to tell you! I have been busy, though I have only gotten back to painting in the last couple of days. I have one on the easel that I love, and I can hardly wait to finish it and show it to you. (And then, on to a whole bunch more that are already under way.) This month the Artists Magazine special edition featuring the Best of Acrylic winners (also known as AcrylicWorks 11) is in the bookstores, and I visited Barnes & Noble to look for it, because I have a painting that was chosen! Do you  remember The Power of Hope from the Hope Project that I worked on last year for a local hospital? It sure made my day to find the magazine there, and to find my painting inside! Fear Not Little Flock As you might remember from way back in August, my painting Fear Not Little Flock was juried into the International Acrylic Biennial Exhibition. I feel so honored to have this piece in that show, and it will hang in ...
