Kaleidoscope Dragonflies Diptych On Gallery Canvas

The latest painting to sprout wings and fly out of my sunroom studio is called "Kaleidoscope Dragonflies". When I envisioned working on this painting, I wanted to create a piece of art that was brimming with lots of colors, which lead me to start thinking about all the colors and shapes you would see if you looked through a kaleidoscope. As you turn it in your hands, the images you see in the kaleidoscope keep continuously changing. That was the inspiration for this latest painting.

Each panel is painted in acrylics on 1 1/2" deep gallery wrap canvas. Each piece measures 18" h x 6" w. Although they are displayed as a diptych, they can also stand alone as the design wraps around the sides of each canvas.

The total measurements for the display I have shown are: 24" h x 14 1/2" w. They could be displayed any way the heart desires though....it is up to the person hanging this set, how they wish to arrange them.

This painting is available at Celebrations Gallery.... www.artfulcreations.etsy.com . I hope everybody has a wonderful week that is full of beautiful, ever changing colors.

"Menagerie" - Acrylic Bird/Tree-Scape....Finally!

Remember that really large painting I was working on, the one that I thought would get done and finished just like that (snap fingers together here)?? Well, finally my newest bird/tree-scape "Menagerie" is finished....sprayed, photographed and up on my website.

This painting is very large, I'm calling it HUGE actually at 24" x 36".

Funny how it works in the world of art, my "Stargazing" painting that I created just before this one, came together pretty effortlessly for me while this piece ended up being more work then I could have imagined when I started painting it. Sometimes I think it is better not to know how callenging something will be before you begin working on it and maybe after all, the harder the work, the greater the reward.

This painting reminds me of spring and summer (my happy times), the sky is very vibrant and little chickadees and bluebirds are hanging out together enjoying the sunny afternoon.

Hmm, started my next acrylic canvas and it is a multi-canvas painting, a much SMALLER painting for the time being, which I'm sure will feel like a break compared to this piece.
