Tropical Inspiration
Did these painting while we were in Florida on holiday. The Ibis (painting with the three birds) isn't actually finished yet, but I posted it anyways. The sea turtle is a water color.
More Tropical Inspiration
I’m not a big fan of using black, so I mix my own using
dark red, dark blue and dark green. Mixed to much so ended up painting a lot of
canvases with a black background. When you’re in Florida, you are surrounded by
all of this beautiful foliage. It’s impossible to not get inspired by Florida’s
abundant greenery.
Rock Painting
Love to walk on the beach gathering shells, see glass and
rocks. I look for rocks with a certain shape or a raised area that can be
painted to look like something. All of these rocks are from the beach.
Fruit of the Womb
Fruit of the
Womb, acrylic on canvas, 18”x24”. I painted this for a show at CafĂ© Con Leche
in Mexican Town for International Women’s Month. If you look closely, you’ll
see that I cut out eleven holes in the canvas, made a box to fit behind the
hole, and placed something in each box. The second photo is close-ups of the
cut outs.
Roosters and more Roosters
Finally we
are into 2013. Got off to a great start by painting six roosters, five oils and
one acrylic, all different sizes. This was fun because I got to use a lot of
color!
