Thirty Paintings In Thirty Days - Day 6

 

"Oh Oooooo  She's Found the Hair Dye"

Acrylics 12" x 12" on 2" Box Canvas

Had great fun with color doing this painting. 

Was not my original intentions,  the brushes just took over, and I just followed along.

It was a good week with this challenge, trying at times, as I'm not in the groove yet, but, I can feel a good change in all this...

My goal this week, it to get all caught up and simplify my compositions somewhat.

Thirty Paintings In Thirty Days - Day One

"Market Marrakesh Morocco "

Acrylic 12"x6" on Canvas

I really enjoyed painting this scene, I could feel and see the heat of the hot desert, and the wonderful smells of all the spices and exotic goods sold here.  My wish is that you can see and smell those things too.

This painting was done for a New Painting Challenge for September that I'm participating in....... 

"Thirty paintings in 30 Days"

Yes, that's something for me, but I'm not alone,

Here's something new I did for a challenge this month.
Went to town with this one!!

"IRIS" IN BLUE

Good Day everyone!!  Another beautiful day here, Sun shining,slight breeze, will be in the mid 80's later. What more can you ask for.  I'm adding another painting I finished for another monthly Challenge on WetCanvas..  This month the host wanted any kind of  Blue flowers.  This is a beautiful bearded Iris, that I loved to grow when I had a backyard.  Every year this particular plant would dazzle me with this display of these beautiful blooms.  The blooms were not suppose to be so blue, but this one liked to show her display on her own, and every year her blooms reigned over the others. So in tribute to that lovely lady who danced with the wind. I painted one of her girls.........this is one of my "Petite Pearls" Series showcasing smaller paintings. Hope you enjoy!!!
Painted with Acrylics on Gallery Canvas, 8x10 inches

Sharron "Shez" Marshall: Guitar Color Burst

 This was painted from a beautiful one of a kind glass art guitar .The owner took a photo for one of our WDE's (weekend drawing event) on WetCanvas, for us to paint, draw, etc. She knew we would love the colors and lights from it. She was right! This is what I did!! Acrylic 16X20 gallery wrapped canvas.

Hydrangea - Finished !!

Finished this today, and got it entered in the project on time!!
I'm actually quite pleased as to how it turned out. Have a couple more in mind, larger scale.
The background was an experiment for me, as I usually do a very dark one,
but wanted to play with the light and colors, hoping to give it a lovely airy flair.:)

Acrylics on 11x14in Canvas....no need to frame if you don't want to.

Rose .....almost finished

I've joined into a June project at WetCanvas -a wonderful artists forum I'm a member of- and we were to paint a rose and post it on the due date for all to see. I decided to do a hybrid tea rose and concentrate on the heart of it, the core of the rose. I've almost finished it, still some work left, with the outer petals and at least one more color glaze maybe two, to get to the color I want. But so far I'm quite pleased with it, and thought I'd post it here to see what it looks like.

Used Golden Full Body Acrylics on 16x20 gallery wrapped canvas.
I've carried the painting on to the sides, so no need to frame it unless one wants to.

Cows Play Of Color II "Mom and Calf"

Here's the second one in this Play Of Color series on "Cows"

Another WIP (work in progress) worked on this this week with the first one.
Finally remembered to get a photo of the first color stage .
The last photo shows it's almost finished.
Still some more work on the calf, and some last layer of colors. One more session and it should be finished.

This is larger 16x20 on gallery wrap canvas, working my way up.
My next one is going to be a lot larger than this.
Would love you feedback on these. Different style for me. What do you think??

I'm using a limited palette here, finding my background color, and the basic color tones.

First color layed in, and then sketched in the compostion of the cows over top, pretty rough, just a few lines to follow

Play Of Color "Bovine"Cow WIP

Something new, out of the box for me, a bit of whimsy, and a new series, are these cows that I've started. I like trying different styles and love colors, so here goes.

Started this a while ago from a weekend painting event at WetCanvas, I had just got the drawing done, and it was left at that, so this week was in the mood to finish it. The idea was to go outside the box, and not to use the common colors found with these animals, and to put a bit of whimsy into it.
This was fun to do actually, the first photo was at the start, just putting in some colors, not too much thought in them, just let my brush choose the colors.
The second photo is about the 2 hour mark, not sure on the background color yet.
Not finished, but getting there.
Pretty strong colors here, but I like him. LOL What do you think.???

This is Acrylics on 2 inch deep gallery 12x12 canvas.

Blocking in the colors, getting the general shapes and forms below.

Faces - Puzzels of Our Past

Finished this today. It was done for an Self Portrait Challenge for 2008 on the Acrylics forum at WetCanvas. Today was the first day we could post them.
It ended up very different than I originally thought what I might do, and somehow I ended up with two figures. One of me from about 25 years ago and one of me now.
Very gut wrenching for most artists to paint themselves, and most don't do it very often.
I had wanted to try this technique, and thought the portraits suited it. This is done with Golden Fluid Acrylics on gallery wrapped canvas.
Not sure if I'm totally finished yet, will hang it and think on it for a few days. I have to do that will all my paintings. Then I'll varnish it and it will be done. I've already got a couple more in mind for a series I think.
What are you thoughts on this painting!!!

Guitar Color Burst

This was painted from a beautiful one of a kind glass art guitar .The owner took a photo for one of our WDE's (weekend drawing event) on WetCanvas, for us to paint, draw, etc. She knew we would love the colors and lights from it. She was right! This is what I did!! Acrylic 16X20 gallery wrapped canvas.

WIP MARRACKECH MARKET Morroco

Here's an update. About 75% done. Would love to be there right now.Could use the heat!! Smell the spices......It's coming together.

Using Acrylics on Canvas 16x12

I have 6 or 7 paintings that I have started theses past few months and never finished for one reason or another. So thought if I posted them here, might get me going to finish them. WIP means work in progress. One of my goals this year is to complete works while I still have the drive for them. I seem to start to loose interest, when they are not finished quickly(for me thats a week or two). I'ts not that I don't like them, but I need to keep the "juices flowing" so to speak on my paintings.

Have drawn in just the main parts and done some of the underlayer, working on my color values when I do the underlayer, lights and darks make the painting. I want strong contrasts for this.

PEARS

I was really just playing with paint and textures here. Manipulating the paint to look like oils with layers. Looks like oils to me! Acrylics are amazing.
