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,

"Botanical Three" @ EBSQ's Flower of the Month show


"Botanical Three"

I often find "weeds" much more beautiful than the traditional plants we plant in our yards and gardens.

This modern botanical painting with Asian influences is created on a 30" X 24" canvas with acrylic and sand.


This painting has SOLD to a private collector!

Inspiration All Around Us' Week 37 Art Challenge ~ "Talis' Fairy Garden"

Photographed
by
Dana Marie

This photograph was taken of a portion of my 11 year old son's garden that he planted. This part of his garden was a bag of seeds called "Fairy Garden". It has bloomed just beautifully and each day there is new flowers to view. :) He's enjoyed his first real gardening experience immensely!

I know this is sort of an "odd" composition and layout, however, there is something very intriqueing about it, to me, as well.
I hope it inspires you!


If you would like to participate, please, email me at



Have a beautiful week!


Happy Creating!

"Spring Breeze" ~ Acrylic Painting











SOLD





Greetings!


I created this original modern flowering tree painting on a 24" X 24" X 3/4" stretched canvas with acrylic.


I have this piece hanging in my dining room area, at this time. I have really enjoyed this extra punch of color on the wall and the colors brings about the feelings of Spring, even though the large window right next to it tells another story.
