Jovialities

Jovialities
mixed media on canvas
14 x 14 inch

This new painting along with many others was just delivered to Tessera Gallery here in Wichita.  A happy painting to go with a happy mood on the day I painted it not long ago.

I wish ALL days were like that...for everyone.  Don't you?

Thank you for visiting!

    This is a really neat still life - particularly love the pattern areas mixed with textural brush stroke. Good you had a happy daya. Hope many more -flowing into each other.
    You deserve them

      Thank you Julie. I really appreciate that.

      The pattern areas are torn pieces of scrapbook paper showing through. Just a little bit of Windex or rubbing alcohol and the acrylic paint comes right off.

    ciao Lisa, yes I use the palette knife that gives many effects not like oil paint but is good the same.
    Sorry for my slow using the blog but I have a very bad computer and is a big stress every time...
    I see now your last works and as always I like very much your so personal style very beatiful.
    I hope you can understand my bad english
    Ciao, ciao, Floriana

      There is nothing wrong with your English Floriana. I loved what you did with the palette knife. The effects were really beautiful. Thank you so much for your kind words here. xo

      I get bored so easily and recently I have really wanted to paint something other than figures. Thank you so much Morag.

      Hi Donna and thank you. I have always loved interior paintings where there is art hanging in the room and I love to also do this whenever it fits into the work.
