Dawning Colors Acrylic Paintings

Dawning Colors is actually three separate 11″x14″ acrylic paintings, although they are a set, as you can see here:

The funny thing is that I started with the middle one, just playing with gradients. (When a friend came over and he saw the painting on the table in low light, he thought it looked like an interesting slab of smooth wood – funny!) But then I started another gradient and it worked so well with the first one, that I kept going until I had the three you see – Voilà!  Dawning Colors!

These three paintings, as shown together in the image above, are available as a vertical triptych print (the originals are hanging on the wall above my nightstand in the bedroom at the moment) by clicking here.

Thanks for looking!

Flat Squirrel

We have at least one huge gray squirrel that loves to eat at our bird feeder, so the other day I just put a trail of seed along the railing on our deck  as a special treat for him. It didn’t take long at all for HGS (huge gray squirrel) to show up, but his technique made me laugh. He flattened himself on the deck rail and squinched himself along on his belly, sucking up seed as he went:

Angelic Stone

It’s too bad that most stone statues, especially angels, are mostly seen just in cemeteries now. But they’re still very striking, nonetheless.

I especially liked the sleeping angel – loved the way the top wing curved around and the edge reflected the sun.

Star Americana

Down the road, there’s a house with this star on the side of their garage. The colors and look just felt so ‘folk art’ – I hope the photo captured the feel adequately!

Click on the image above for some Star Americana wall prints, framed or unframed. (without my copyright mark of course)

I also thought this star looked very Fourth of July ish on t-shirts and buttons and other keepsakes:

And thanks for looking – hope you have a great Independence Day next week!

Stone Poppies

Poppy flowers represented in hard granite… would ‘juxtaposition’ be an apt word here?

Anyway, I liked this part of the carving so much I made it a fine art print – click on the image to see a zoom or purchase, etc.

I also put elements of it on things like buttons, cards, keepsake boxes – a little gothic flavor with non-gothicky things:
