Figurative Work

Well, it is back to the long-legged people with a twist. I seem to come back to these folks every once in awhile. There must be something about them that I am not done with. Here are a few of the latest.

Trees

Thought I would show you a couple of the tree paintings that I did for the show at Mukilteo Art & Frame in December. I painted four paintings for that show, and they were all completely different. The vertical piece above is done with a faux encaustic finish, which I haven't used for a long time. I liked it so much that I am working on a larger version of this painting, which is only 12x18.

Where Have I Been?

I simply cannot believe that I have not entered anything in my blog since before the Edmonds Art Studio Tour in September. Right after the tour we went on a cruise to France & Spain, so that is the reason I checked out for a little while. However, where have I been since the middle of October. Right here at home and painting. I needed to paint fruit for a couple of shows I have currently going up at Artisan Framing in Mill Creek and FrameUp in Fremont. The piece above is 36x36 (the largest pears I have every painted) and currently hanging at Artisan Framing. If it doesn't sell there, it will be donated to the H'Arts Auction in February. Since that is my plan, I am sure it will sell at Artisan Framing! Then I will need to paint another 36x36 of pears.

I also needed to paint trees for a November/December show at Mukilteo Art & Frame. I sold the ones I was going to use, so had to paint some new ones pronto!

Next I needed to do some hearts for C'est la Vie in January and February, and I got those done. Then I needed to paint a 24x24 abstract landscape for a previous customer who wanted something specific.

Now I am done with all the things I needed to paint, and I can paint whatever I want to paint, and am very happy about that. You should start seeing more frequent entries from me with new work very soon.

Edmonds Art Studio Tour

When I am supposed to be getting ready for the Edmonds Art Studio Tour, what do I do? I start three new large paintings that I will have to find somewhere to put during the tour, because they will not be done.

Here are some of the new paintings you will see if you come to the Edmonds Art Studio Tour next Saturday and Sunday. Go to www.edmondsartstudiotour.com for a map and information on participating artists.
