Latest Painting - going to Texas!



This is one of four panels that I recently finished as part of a commission request. This set is heading to Texas (not me, in case you were wondering from the title -- though I'd love to visit one day!), and is textured acrylic on gallery wrap canvas.

I used extra heavy duty canvas and stretcher bars, so each canvas ended up being about 10 pounds -- very sturdy indeed!

These were nice muted colors, and made me want to make a set for myself. It's nice having the option of changing your art in your home around every so often. I wonder if other artists do that as well?

Definitely have to agree with Queen B, I love the use of texture and 3D-ness it has. It reminds of the sea and the beach, great painting for a summery season. Keep up the good work!

This painting is absolutely amazing. I saw the red earthy one a few posts down on the site as well. How do you create this fossil effect? I would love to learn.
Please drop me some brief instructions on my blog. I would really appreciate it :)
