Oink and Moo!

I have been playing with a new series of paintings that are a complete departure from my Pretty Girls. And I should not be surprised how much I love painting animals - I am animal crazy! But I am surprised at how fun and loose it is.  Here are the first few from the series.  More details can be seen on my Etsy site as well.

Utterance

"Utterance"           24"x38"

This was an incredible journey to create a commissioned piece for a new client. And oh, what joy to work on this! Jean already knew that she liked my previous piece "Was it Yesterday", but wanted something large to fill a niche wall in her house. When we sat down to go through some ideas, I took notes about all the different things she likes, has experienced, has loved and done. And then I played in layers of goodness with text flowing over the canvas between bursts of spray paint. And "Utterance" was born.  It is always hard to let pieces go, but in this case, there was great joy in it as I knew she was off to be loved.

Enjoy!

"She Saw Her Past"

I just released a new painting to the world.  It can be viewed and purchased on my Etsy site.  Or just enjoyed here! As a side note....I think it's interesting that I keep wanting to call it "She Saw Her Future"...maybe there's more to her story than I thought...

I love the vintage photos and bits of an old film.
