Sometimes you feel like painting just for yourself and not for anyone else...You paint because you feel the need to create and transform the blank canvas into something that speaks to you. Those sessions in the studio are truly special and a part of you is left behind on the canvas.
There has been so much negativity and unease around me in the past few weeks and that mood carries into this painting. There is also hope for a better tomorrow.....
This painting has many thin layers with areas of texture. A semi-gloss gives this piece an amazing sense of depth.
These two 5x7 originals are actually Christmas cards for my family and friends. They are painted in acrylics on gessoed paper. The final product is varnished with semi-gloss for a 3-D look. Once the holidays are over, these little paintings will look FABULOUS matted and framed.

FUN WITH CHRISTMAS CARDS
I decided to have some fun with Christmas cards this year. These are done in acrylics on gessoed paper and are varnished with semi gloss which gives it a 3-D look....
These little beauties also look great with a white mat and framed...hint...hint...Mom, Sis and bro...Don't throw them out after the holidays!
