Day 11.  This has been such a busy art week.  I had a tradeshow, taught a painting afternoon at my grandson's Kindergarten, finished a large custom angel wings painting, a not as large custom angel wings painting, 6 pet portraits, last night I painted live at the Little Italy Gala in support of the Lloydminster Sexual assault centre, and donated a custom painting for the live auction.... the winning bid was $900 ( I was thrilled) we danced til the wee hours,  and tonight I am teaching a small group of ladies an angel wings class.  Whew!!

Next week, I just plan to teach one class and paint for my 30in30. 

 

30 Painting in 30 Days Day 10

"Cooper"

Australian Shepherd

12x12

acrylic on canvas

 

Karen submitted Cooper's photo the last time I did my 30 in 30 project.

When I messaged her to see if I could use it this time, she said "YES!!!!"  That's right.  4 exclamation marks. 

 

I was seriously tired yesterday, and not even sure I would get it done. I went to my grandson's kindergarten class with all my supplies and we painted birdhouses and trees on 12x12 canvases. 

Thank goodness there were 4 moms there to help.

They were enthusiastic little painters and we had lots of Art High- Fives!!

"Deuce"

10x10

acrylic on canvas

 

Rolanda sent me a couple photos of their Schnauzer, Deuce.  Some where he was freshly groomed, but I loved the picture of him when his hair was a little longer.  I started with a teal background, then decided to make it dark...and I'm happy with the way it turned out.

I've known Rolanda her whole life, and I am honored to create another painting for her Art Collection.

Myla

12x12

Acrylic on Canvas

 

This is the third time I've chosen Pet Portraits as my theme for my 30 paintings in 30 Days Challenge, and  Maegan, Myla's owner has submitted her photo every time.  I have to say,  it took me a while to decide to paint her, and I love how it turned out.  The first background was flat pink, and I hated it.  Then I added some white, yellow and a bit of orange to it with some pattern play.  I think Myla will be pleased.  

There you go, Myla!!

 

 

On the Seventh Day of Christmas........

 

On the 7th day of Christmas my artist gave to me.....

and 8 x 10 original painting

"Winter Shadows"

Winner of Day 6 was Deb Weir

 

Transformed

The title of this piece is

"Transformed"

12 x 36

SOLD

An angel wing on canvas using antique books, hymns and love letters.  One of the hymns was called "Transformed"

The title is appropriate in two ways, because the paper has been transformed into a lovely wind, but also because this painting was finished before.  It was a highly textured wing on a brown background, but after looking at it for a bit, I decided to take it a few steps beyond, transforming it into one of my favorites!   Sometimes you only think you are finished!!

"Silver Leaf"

This is a cool painting. Lots of texture and the use of genuine silver leaf. This painting is also available at "Grower Direct" in Lloydminster.
