Open the Window, Profound it is


 
 
Today's work, two abstracts.  Top one, 18x24, I named it: "Profound it is" and the bottom one, 16x20, is called "Open the Window".


Now, in honor of 4th of July the painting "Profound it is",  just turned into "Happy the 4th".

No Worries

Really, No Worries.  24x36 in acrylics.

Must say I'm enjoying working in acrylics more and more!  Especially using palette knives.

A touch of surrealism here makes this painting, in my opinion!



More Fish





 
 
 
1.  The one on top, "Nothing Matters" is in acrylic 16x20.
2.  In the one at the bottom,  I have painted 20+ coral fish in Gouache, 16x20.  You may find more, who knows.... let's call it "Look me up".

Escape


This one is painted on a scroll, ink on rice paper, just a few simple brush stokes, that's all.



Strata




This painting came soon after the "Homestead".  It's a 24x36 in oil.  What I like about it is the simplicity of it, yet the depth and the layers of visual engagement are there too.  So I called it finished.

Btw, this one is coated with epoxy so it's shiny and looked polished, so cool!

My latest Finger Painting




It's very satisfying and rewarding to know that it is possible to paint with one's little finger and very little art supplies.
I only used a few drops of China Ink and my little pinkie and its nail, not even water, to paint this monochromatic painting.
Sooooooooo much fun!
Fell in love with the fisherman in the front, pushing through the water to get his boat, myself!

Homstead



This 36x24 painting -my latest- in oil, I call "Homestead" because of everything it represents.
The clolors red reprents my love and dedication.
The red shapes, lower right shows the structure of my home.
The flower in the red rectangle on the upper right is a symbol of life and happiness.
The fruit/food and drinks in the shape on the upper left represents my breakfast, lunch and dinner tables, healthy food and drinks.
The structure down on the lower left says all about my raising an educated daughter as an independent individual and setting her out to sail in search of her own life. 
The deal in the middle with roots and leaves shows my own roots and knowledge, every thing I leaned and taught, that helped me raise a family the way I knew how to.
