Spring 22 Bouquet

 

 

Spring Bouquet '22, Watercolor on Arches Paper, 12" x 12"

Available at $40 plus $10 shipping. 

Detail (Close-Up) Below


 
At Walmart this past week, on the end cap, were all these "homey" little bouquets for $4.87 apiece; nothing exotic, hut nice little quotidien flowers. They are lasting pretty well. I bought two since my budget was $10.00 and I am happy with my babies. Today I want to try it in acrylics, and then maybe a third to get more abstract. We'll see how they last.
Thanks for looking!

Woven Garden - SOLD

Detail (Close-Up) of Portion of Above

The fish eye effect on the painting image; I don't know how to get rid of or avoid, sorry. The weaving strips are not that curved. This is basically two floral paintings on paper treated with an experimental base (Plaster of Paris mixed with Gesso). (see below for example) When those florals were boring, I cut them both up and wove them. Then applied Gel Medium and glued them to yet another piece of paper, so the whole thing is a bit thick, and a bit "lumpy", but will not need glass.
