Panel Boards and Paper and the Paintings that are on Them

Henry is Late Again
12 x 16" mixed media on canvas panel
available here


 Panels made with canvas, panels made with hardboard, plain watercolor paper...it's difficult to decide which is best.  They all have good things about them.  They all make the art look different.  They also feel different as you work on them.  


 Mrs. Baker on a Sunday Afternoon
5 x 7 inch oil on hardboard
SOLD

It is impossible to decide which is best.


Promise and Her Pocket Full of Flowers
4 x 6 inch mixed media on watercolor paper

So I will just keep painting on all of them.

I really am going to rake leaves today.  Really I am.

Oh, and guess what...my mother saw her cardiologist yesterday and her heart is unchanged which is great news.  It has been two years since her life-pivoting heart attack full of dreadful diagnosis' and we are all still marveling that she is still here with us, still living independently and doing so well.  She even danced a little this passed weekend.  She turns 80 in May so we are planning a big birthday party for her.  

I hope your day is full of joy.

♥ Lisa

    A great threesome. My favourite is Mrs Baker. She has a lovely face and I love the hat. Good news about your mum. A party will be a good excuse for another dance.

    I will quote you: "It is impossible to decide which one is BEST". I LOVE all these paintings, Lisa. Your style is absolutely beautiful.

    My mum turns 80 this years as well. (In June!)

    Have a great day!

    Gosh that is wonderful about your mom. And dancing!
    LOVE Henry is Late Again. Just gets me to thinking about the lady waiting, and Henry, is that him in the car? Or who then is it? The moon and the lighting are mysterious and beautiful.

    My ambition is to be dancing at 80, your mum sounds so beautiful. My mum is very poorly at the moment, good health in old age is a precious thing. x

    yay for the good news about your Mom! I agree...different supports give different results. Some artists will just use one type..but I am like you, I switch around. I love all the paintings in this post.
