New Art Work


recently i did something really fun.
i painted.
i painted some paintings.
large paintings that i put into frames.
it has been almost a year since i have worked on large paintings and it was FUN!
i have missed it.
i worked with large reclaimed frames.
the body of the painting was on mdf - i love to paint on it's smooth surface.
i incorporated layers of color and textures.
i used smooth rocks that i found while walking along the beach.
maybe - as the gray days of winter push in a little heavier on me in the winter -
maybe i can look at these paintings to remind me that summer will eventually return!
