Revisiting old favorites

I have a few pieces in progress... however have been so busy keeping up with my Etsy orders with the Christmas rush, that I haven't had time to finish anything. 

So I'm posting one of my favorites from a few years ago...

Abstract Seascape

This little 4 x 4 inch textured landscape painting I created a bit ago... no new work finished this week.

I'm a bit distracted of late and not creating/finishing a lot of art. So many projects in the works, and without actually working on them, I feel like I'm going into withdrawal. Soon things will calm down again.

I'm co-hosting an Art Retreat - SeARTle - April 25 - 27. While it's not a huge gathering (about 20 of us) it is going to be so much fun!  I'm quite excited! (And distracted)

Some fun news, I filling out my application and sending in the $$ for a large and popular local Holiday show. It is exciting as it will focus on my vintage items and will include some of my art.  How fun is that going to be? More on it later.

Hoping you have a wonderful week!

Field of flowers - WIP

I've been working on a canvas the past week or so, between other projects. This is another of my textured landscape paintings, still a work in progress. This is based on a photo I took of a field of blooming mustard on the Palouse (Eastern Washington State). Many years ago, I drove 30 miles to work every day through the Palouse area and loved the ever changing landscape.

Layers added thus far to the initial painted surface include netting, lace, torn paper as texture to the sky and field.  I have more torn paper to add in, a bit more painting and will attach buttons and other bits. More to come on this!

I am so slow when working on these textured paintings. I do layouts and think about it, and change it and think about it. Does anyone else do the same thing? I usually do have several projects going at once, and that's probably my problem. Scattered creativity.

For now, I'll be checking to see what the other Paint Party Friday artists have created this week.

Textured Seascape

Working on too many things... but this is one I'd like to share with my friends at Paint Party Friday, hosted by Eva and Kristin. 

This is an 8 x 8 inch canvas, textured with molding paste, painted with acrylic paints and embellished with lace, threads, papers and buttons. Not all pieces are firmly glued down yet, I'm still playing around with the layout. 

I've worked on a few other textured landscapes this week... more on those later.

Thanks for stopping by!
