What are you reaching out for?

Sorry for not posting any art here lately. I have been so busy with my day job, that I haven't had the free time to get lost in the colors. Here is a quote for the day. Let me know what you are reaching out for!?

The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.

Pumkin Party

We (my hubby and I) got the opportunity to go to a pumkin/halloween party last night. Here are a few pics from the party to get you in the mood for halloween.

Enjoy!

The Lake again?

What is this obsession with the lake I am having? I had a solid black textured canvas in the studio. I decided to pull a painting out of the darkness....and guess what came out? Yep, you got it....The Lake! Again? I guess I must need to get this out for some reason. So, I will paint them (the lakes) while they are here ;) This one was done with metallics too. It makes for a great feel ...but is very hard to photograph because of the reflectivity.

Enjoy!

On The Lake

I had an old door out in the shop that is 6'x3'. It had a textured finish , was chipping and generally looking a little worn. So I thought...Why not take some of my faux products and do a painting on it! This is what came out. I used a lot of metallic glazes and viol la! The Lake. It reminds me of being at my cousin Becky's house. The fog would roll in and you could barely see across the lake. We would sit on the porch every morning before the sun came up and just watch how the light danced......I miss it there. We really need to go back. But until then, I guess I can see it here :-)

Enjoy!

Angels among us

Playing around with a pouring this morning....an angel appeared....hmmmm might have to finish her out.

I will post the finished piece when I'm done. But for now...

(update- a little more progress today)

Enjoy!
