What have I done?

*Sigh* I decided to get a new look for the blog, so I downloaded a new template and uploaded it here...some how it deleted all my "Elements"...all my links. *ugh* I can't image why this would happen. So, after uploading the new template, I decided to see if I used the given backgrounds if it would bring back all I lost....that's a big NO! I guess I have some work to do and I really need to find a new look, yet again, this won't do. ;)

Okay, I have learned a little more and I have changed the background to a dragonfly template that I found, not sure it it is staying yet. I had to remove the dragonfly template as it had ads.

"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.

Dragonfly Studio Desk
























Greetings and a Happy New Year!

This Christmas my son (9) got a new computer and beautiful new desk to put it on, well, I took the old desk and painted it to put in my studio and that is what you see here.

I painted it with acrylics and vanished it. Due to the vanish and overcast day the pictures may have not come out as well as I'd hoped.

Jellyfish ~ In Progress














SOLD


This is my first Jellyfish painting and I've enjoyed creating it thus far so much that I've may very well paint a small series of paintings. I took several photographs of the beautiful jellyfish swimming in this massive tank at the Oregon Aquarium. They have been great reference pics for this piece. :)

This particular painting is created on a 10" X 10" stretched canvas using acrylic.

I will post more as the painting progresses.
