Mystical Tree - Acrylic Painting On Gallery Canvas

"Mystical Tree" is my latest acrylic painting on gallery canvas....centainly not your ordinary tree, that is for sure. There is a magical and mystical quality about it, hence the name.

Swirls of blue, green, white and black fill the centers of the leaves.....

Large exposed gnarled roots, along with the tree, are done in black and set a against a colorful background, framed by a symbolic leaf shape along the sides.

This particular piece was so much fun to paint on this large canvas that measures 24" x 30" and has 1 1/2" deep gallery wrapped sides that are painted black.

"Garden Visitor" - A Contemporary Bluebird Garden-Scape

I just completed "Garden Visitor" a contemporary bluebird garden-scape. This was the painting I had to dust off and just finish already..... It was inspired by my own collection of garden Iris.

Painted on 3, 1 1/2" deep gallery canvases, this piece measures 6" x 8" for each individual canvas and a total of 18" h x 8" w. Available at my ETSY shop: www.artfulcreations.etsy.com The next piece I'm in the middle of painting right now is called "Stargazing", it is a very large canvas, with a night time scene......the rest I'm afraid, will have to be a bit of a surprise until it is fully completed.

Under The Trees.........

I was really inspired to paint "Under The Trees" after our trip to Mohonk a few months ago. There are so many gorgeous sitting areas there, nestled under trees, by the lake and in the woods, that I really wanted to paint one of them.

I wanted it to be a contemporary painting though.....maybe a bit whimsical at the same time. The circles are growing up from the ground and between the tree roots.

They are also growing from the tree branches in varying colors of blue and purple. The black trees and bench are set against a colorful background that reminds me of a rainbow.

Painted on gallery canvas that is 1 1/2" deep, "Under The Trees" measures 11" x 14". I Hope you've enjoyed my contemporary take on an outdoor scene. Available through my ETSY shop: www.artfulcreations.etsy.com
