This little painting came together quickly and had a bit of magic in my mind. It is another 10″x10″ acrylic painting.
Now that I have been painting in the attic for a bit I have it somewhat organized. I am going to paint a half dozen more pieces this size and then move up to some larger works finally!
Work inspired by the grey skies and endlessly shifting light of Lake Pend Oreille. Even though it was hard to let go of the sunshine of summer nature always brings the beauty.
This is an Acrylic painting 10″x10″ in size.
A painting I did over the weekend. Acrylic 10″x 10″ using a brush, knife and squeegee. I am aiming to let the simple marks stand and resonate. Sometimes simple work is surprisingly difficult to do. I want my paintings to have a fresh immediacy so my tendency to overwork and muddle is being shelved (in theory).
A couple of mood pieces I recently completed. Both paintings are 10″x10″acrylic.
I spent much of the morning prepping some more boards and starting on a new image.
I am trying to organize the attic space so that it is an easier space in which to work. Dark and cold it is still a place I love to be!
Continuing in with my small studies. I have now moved my painting location from a shed (torn down) to a crazily dark and often cold attic space. This is a 10″x10″ acrylic painting I recently painted by dim light. I need to move onto to much larger paintings for a show I have early next year… I have also introduced more lamps and a small heater so hoping I can get a lot done above the house!
Four 10″x10″ acrylic paintings inspired by my new home water in North Idaho!
It is hard not to let my surroundings dictate my imagery. I’m wrapped up in the beauty of North Idaho, currently a huge inspiration. I’m not one to feel like simply capturing reality is the ultimate goal but for now it’ll do.
I am continuing to paint waves and water. This painting is a 10″x10″ acrylic piece. I plan on working on some larger paintings again at some point but space limitations are still keeping things small in scale!
This is a 10″x10″acrylic painting inspired by swimming in the lake. Water is mesmerizing, trying to echo those patterns puts me into a calm place.
Four very small pieces, 6″ x 6″, acrylic paintings. Continuing on with smaller art due to work space limitations. I am planning on doing some 10″ pieces next as these little guys don’t allow for room to roam.
