BLUEBEARRIES

Bluebearries is the title of this piece, as the bear is on the prowl for something sweet.  There is a hint of blue in the foreground to indicate a treat for this fine fella.  The painting is a 10 x 14 acrylic on canvas and is sold.

ILLUMINATING THE FIELD

20 X 20 ACRYLIC

GREEDS' TRAP

This 10 x 14 acrylic is self explanatory.  I have passion for  all living creatures.  Recently, at the awards, Leonardo DiCapprio couldn't have said it better by savaging corporate greed of big oil, "enough is enough".

MA?

Showing at the Fur, Fin and Feather Exhibit is my 23 x 28 watercolor. This was a fun project manipulating colors in water and allowing them to meld and flow throughout the body of the young elephant.  Once dry, I enhanced the shapes of the limbs and head ect.. The background was just play, isn't that what artists who love what they do, do?

This painting among several others,  will be on display at the Ingersoll Creative Art Center http://creativeartscentre.com/  from March 13 to April 10, don't miss out. See previous post for map and details.

16 STROKES

I attended a one week workshop by Patti Mollica in June, at Hudson River Valley Art Workshop www.ArtWorkshops.com

This acrylic painting was a result of a 15 stroke exercise, the 16th stroke is the red edge, hence the title.  I challenge every artist to try this,  it's an easy way to help you loosen up in your artwork.
