Angela's Calla Lilies

Sorry it's been quite a while since I've posted anything. Here are a few photos of my latest project:This is a series of 5 canvases; acrylic on canvas. Here are some more detailed photographs:

I was originally a little stumped on how to compose a painting in which I needed to place these delicate, slender, (and TALL) flowers onto a horizontally arranged canvas in a pleasing arrangment. I was looking for inspiration online and found a similar painting that used multiple canvasas. It was the perfect solution and I couldn't be happier with the results. This was especially fun because I was able to go to the buyer's home and see the location it would finally be placed in.

And here it is in it's new home! Angela's house is already awesome, but I think this adds a lot to her dining room. The colors matched PERFECTLY. So exciting!

More Previous Work - Mandalas

Here are 2 mandalas I created for a class project. In some spiritual traditions, mandalas are used to direct attention during meditation. I used a metallic copper paint in parts of both that reflect light and provides interest. Each of these designs are original and they are presented in acrylic on 10x10'' canvases with an edge of 1&1/2''. These are available for purchase.

Also, I had to update my price list to account for new canvas prices. The updated list is at the bottom of this webpage under "Artwork for Sale". Thank you everyone who has visited this site. I'm happy to finally be doing this.

I started drawing again and set up a still life. Here is the progress so far. A little controversial and as my mother said, "it looks like the woman just flung off her shoes and bra after slugging down a few!" While this wasn't my intention, I think it's pretty hilarious. I'll post a photo of this when it is finished.

I will post more photos of paintings and drawings I've done in the past. If you have any questions about anything you've seen here just e-mail me!

Artwork for Sale

Welcome to my blog. I will be posting images of paintings I have created, as well as some that are available for purchase. I often paint florals as it is my favorite subject matter. I work with acrylic paints on canvas. All paintings are treated with a matte finish that is non-yellowing and will protect your painting from dirt, dust, moisture, and scuffing. All canvases have a staple-free finished edge of 1&1/2 inches giving it that "gallery" look and are ready to hang.

I welcome any idea you may have and will take custom orders based on the colors in your home or a particular style or subject matter you like.

Paintings are priced by size and complexity. A quote may be given upon request.

If you have any questions, please feel free to send me an e-mail.
