New paintings







I've been painting a lot this summer, and am making more of my paintings
available on-line (and in person of course) in my Etsy shop.











I've been nervous about adding them, because I know everyone has
a different opinion on what "art" is.


However, I've had good responses and feedback, so I'm putting more of my work
out there, and hope that you'll see one that speaks to you.


I'd like them to be available as prints too, so they are more affordable, so I set-up an account with Deviant Arts. They print everything from cards to canvas prints, and you can even get them framed, all from my uploaded photos.
When I have a bit of extra funds, I will buy a canvas print- ready to hang, so I can check out the quality for myself, but I've heard good things about them and their prices are awesome.
As always, there's a learning curve, but I have set up a profile, added a couple of photos, and
one of my paintings ... there's a lot of other talented artists there too.


If you would like me to add a particular painting there so you can get a print, let me know and I'll do it promptly. Otherwise, I'll just be adding them at random.
Well, time to get cleaning the house, as we have company tonight.
Enjoy your day,
Angie

Bright flower paintings


I usually have some paintings, in various stages, on the go. Some don't look like much- just a blank canvas with a coat of white gesso, or a base of colour, while others just need some final touches to be completed .
Different ideas, themes, colours, textures and techniques gives me a buffet of beginnings to select from.


As the snow falls, yet again, I've spent some time in my studio working on several paintings.
Bright colours and cheery themes, always make me happy.
Yesterday it was sunny and a balmy 8C, and I heard my 1st robin of the year. Today it's grey, dreary and snowy.
I miss the colours of summer, the flowers, sunshine and bright blue skies and thought it's a good time to finish these two little flower paintings.
I've added them to my Etsy shop - in the "Paintings" section.




I've just made this beautiful little mirror using a print from my summer flowers...

affordable, portable and practical, piece of art.

Emus in the snow paintings



Here are the 2 paintings I made, inspired
They are 6" x 6"



I'm drawn to these beautiful birds, the way
they move, the purring sounds they make and their
unusual plumage.
It was such a treat to see them up-close,
the texture of their feathers, the contrast and strangeness
of seeing emus in snow, appeals to me and urges me to
do something with it.
I'll try & do "in progress" photos of some of my paintings.
