Now that the first of the year has come and gone, I'm back to painting in my studio....vacation time is officially over at this point. While I love taking time off, I'm always eager to get back to things in my studio, much as I enjoy the break, I charish my creative time and usually feel very refreshed and ready to hit the easel once again with lots of new ideas. My first new painting of the year is a bit abstract and a bit whimsical as well - "Dancing Dandelions".
This is an acrylic triptych painting on 1 1/2" deep gallery canvas.
Each panel measures 4" x 12" for a total of 12" x 12" in all.
There are many ways to display this set of panels and I got a little creative with arranging them on my wall, for what I think is a fun display.
This set is eye catching because I used quite a bit of metallic pearl white to paint the dandelions. The painting shimmers and shines when it is hung on the wall. Now available at my ETSY shop:
www.artfulcreations.etsy.com . Just finishing up another triptych today so hopefully will be showing that one next week....stay tuned at any rate.
I finished my newest triptych this week - "In The Treetop". I decided to have a lot of fun with this one and work with 3 different sized canvases.
The first gallery canvas is 8" x 8"......
The second is 8" x 6" and.............
The third is 4" x 6", coming together for a grand total of 12" h x 23" w. This piece is fun, sparkly and quite contemporary. I think I will be creating paintings with different sized canvases a lot more in the future, I like to look and feel of the different sizes together. I'm currently trying to finish a new painting, a diptych (2 canvases) called "Kaleidoscope Dragonflies" . The dragonfly part you have probably figured out but I bet you are wondering about the kaleidoscope part, you'll just have to wait and see. I've been working on all these paintings for a very special reason and hopefully, in the next few weeks, I'll be talking about the meaning behind it all.
