My collectors who commissioned the large ballerina paintings commissioned two 48x30 cherry Blossom panels for their beautiful home.
Just varnished
Textured blooms and branches
I did an alcohol pour for the background then contrasted where needed
I'm doing two cherry Blossom panels for one of my collectors. They're the owners of both the ballerinas
Before branch/bud contrasts
I've severely neglected posts on my blog. My girls we're home and we have a new Airdale Terrier puppy named Boe keeping us busy. My nephew and his beautiful bride were married. We flew our daughters to Seattle for my birthday, then drove down to Eugene, Oregon for th wedding. The blue painting below is their wedding present from us.
Large 48x36 textured Gold Nebula work in progress
My baby girl is loving my drop cloth
A client wanted a pair of humpback whales with a sense of urgency. Depicting the fight for survival against whale hunting. I've never painted whales before, so I dove into studying them. Studying water and light rays. I'm happy with it. The owner is extremely pleased.
My return client asked me to pain a 4x2 ft piece with two humpback whales. He has a great admiration for the Sea Shepherds organization and their fight against the horrific hunting of the gentle giants. So this piece he wanted to depict a story of their fight for survival. It's still a few weeks to completion but here's my progress pics
Thought I was done. Nope. I'm done now40x36 commissioned #cherryblossom . Edges continue with the vines
Said goodbye to two of my paintings this past weekend. I love these pieces so it's was extremely hard.
Commission 36x36. Based on my 48x48. The collector loved the larger one but didn't have the space. Thick textures on the blooms
And these are my old yucky floors. My husband installed new ones. Now the kitchen is next.
Starting a new 48x36 blending portrait art, geometrics, and splatter
Day 2
Varnishing finished commissioned piece
Flesh tinted glaze and ice blue tinted glaze. Small addition...HUGE impact!
Need to add in more spidered branches
2nd day in working on two Cherry blossom pieces . Adding in more blooms on top, plus adding in glaze tinted color contrasts to tree and blooms, will add in more spider branches and buds. #workinprogress #painting #cherryblossom #modernart #asianart #interiordesign #art
