Rendition Me This Art Challenge - Le Femme - Work in Progress

"Le Femme" - Original Dana Marie Wearable Art Piece

"Le Femme" - Original Dana Marie Wearable Art Piece

I created this piece for the Rendition Me This art Challenge - Le Femme.  I'm not sure why I went this direction as it's not what I had in mind before I began painting, but once I began painting this is what I had imagined.  I would like to paint another, as well, but with looser circler strokes for the tree foliage.

I'm not sure if you can tell that the upper and lower part of this piece have different color under lays.  The upper portion is sky blue as the lower portion is aqua and overlayed with yellow ochre and cream.

I hope to finish it soon now that I can see what I would like to change.  :)

Work in Progress -




Update: The piece is now complete and has been uploaded to the art challenge.    I will be taking more photos of the painting and putting up for sell on Etsy.

Come join in on the challenge at Rendition Me This!

Happy Creating!

Off to Green Peter Lake and Up the Creek without Snow Tires

I assumed the lake would be green due the name, Green Peter Lake, but WOW not this green!

Could it get even more beautiful? The answer is a resounding, YES!

We are now heading up the river.

We stopped several and took walks along the river....one of those stops was at Yellowbottom. Just before we arrived at this small park and campground I saw several people with pans. Could they be panning for gold? Indeed they were. There was a sign about panning for gold at Yellowbottom where we found three others sifting through the sand and rocks.

We have planned to come back later in the Spring to camp, pan for gold (not to get rich lol but for the experience) and hunt for morels. I look forward to it!

We ended up on a single lane road to Highway 22 when we hit snow! For those of you who don't know, I drive a Volkswagon Bug....not exactly a four wheel vechicle! :) We went a ways before gave up and turned around.

What a gorgeous trip! Seven hours later we made safely home.

Our Trip to Foster Lake Oregon

After we got through Sweet Home (OR) and picked up our lunch for a picnic we arrived at Sunnyside Country park. We had been to the park once last year and it looked much differently. I then realized the lake water was but half of the size it was last time….they have yet to let the damn out.

After a bite to eat we headed down to the water.

We walked along the water on a road, mind you this is normally under water. as the road ended in the water instead of walking back the way we came, we decided to head inland. It was quite muddy in places, but it was well worth the mess.

I'll continue the rest of the day trip on another post.

A Swirl Around the Garden - Original Whimsical Painting (Art Challenge)

"A Swirl Around the Garden"

by

Dana Marie

(not a collage....100% freehand painted)

This is an original acrylic painting that created for the first Art Challenge at "Rendition Me This"

The painting used for this art challenge was a painting I did years ago, "Garden Scents."

Every year EBSQ holds an annual "Ripped Off" exhibit in which an artist pairs up with another artist (at EBSQ.) The artists then go through each others portfolios and choose a piece of their art to "rip off." Each artist then creates a new piece of artwork in their style. I absolutely love this idea and this is the idea behind this art challenge blog, Rendition Me This. The challenge will be once every month and artists will work from one piece of art.

 

All artwork should be sent to me at danamarieart@gmail.com, and should consist of an attachment of a good quality jpg image, cropped to show nothing but the artwork. I will not post out of focus, poor quality photographs.

Make sure your name and website/blog address are included with your submission. Also be sure to include "Rendition Me This" in the subject line. No large file sizes please. Do not exceed 1000 pixels on the widest side. Please keep the resolution to 72 also. Thanks.

Three pieces of artwork per artist per art challenge will be allowed.

To view the original painting to use as your reference, scroll down to the bottom of each new posting. Please send your image no later than the 13th.

 

Happy Painting!

 

With Love,

~ Dana Marie
