NEW Altar Screen Painting...

I can't believe it's been a year since my last Altar Screen painting! So I decided to do another one in a Folk Art Tattered Saint style. It has three "panels" divided by arches, with a saint or angel on each side separated by flora and fuana. You can see my current paintings for sale by clicking**HERE**.

Tattered Renaissance.....

I've been trying to think of new ways to incorporate my love of art history into my paintings, and as I was flipping through some fine art catalogs in my collection, I decided to use the glossy pages of prints featuring old master paintings. In this piece, I used prints of "A Dutch Harbour Scene" by Thomas Heeremans 1660-1697 for the skirt of the dress, and "A River Landscape With Three Huntsman With Their Dogs" by Pieter Meulener 1602-1654 for other areas of the dress and accents. This mixed media painting includes moody colors, subtle textures, layers of papers, and an "aged" finish for a tattered renaissance look, 6 x 12 stretched canvas. It's available on Ebay now, You can see my current paintings for sale by clicking**HERE**.

Portrait of a Creole Woman...SOLD

I am currently studying Western Art History and Figure Studies, concentrating on Renaissance and Folk Art. I love to combine these two styles in my work. I will be painting as I study and research these areas of art, and posting new work as they are completed, along with the painting that ispired the piece if available. Sometimes my paintings will look very similar to the ispiration piece, or not at all....sometimes a painting will spark an idea for whatever reason. This is a learning process for me, and I thought I would share it with my followers who love art as much as I do!
This painting is a mixed media Folk Art piece, with several layers of paper making up the texture and clothing, and is currently listed on Ebay. You can see my current paintings for sale by clicking**HERE**.



Take care!

Countdown to Christmas......SOLD

I've been painting up a storm! I'm trying to use up all my canvas in time for listing and shipping for Christmas! Here are a few of the paintings I have listed on Ebay now, more to come in the next couple of days.....You can see my current paintings for sale by clicking**HERE**.

Altar Screens.....SOLD

I've mentioned before how I love to research renaissance and religious art. I am fascinated by the detail,color and layout. My latest interest is altar screens. I've wanted to paint one for some time, although I would never be able to replicate the size and intricacy of authentic screens. So, I painted my version on a 16 x 20 stretched canvas, mixed media including acrylics, artist papers, 1880's Bible pages, and metallic paint. I hope to paint more on larger surfaces in the future, I loved creating this one. I will be listing this on Ebay tonight (if you click on the picture, you can see a larger image).You can view my current paintings for sale by clicking**HERE**.

Till next time,

Paper Mosaic Saint

This is my newest creation....a paper mosaic Angel/Saint painting. I had so much fun doing this one, it is truly a labor of love with all the hours put into the paper work. This one features actual pages from an 1880's Bible I purchased at an antiques store. This painting is currently listed on Ebay, and I'm working on more in the same style. You can see all my current paintings for sale by clicking**HERE**.

Renaissance Angel....

My love affair with the Renaissance continues. I've been studying the great artists of this era for quite some time. After much experimentation, I finally came up with a color combination using my acrylics that resemble oils. I can not use oil paints because of an allergy, but love the deep enchanting hues. I incorporated a landscape into the background of this painting. If you click on the image of the painting, you will see a larger image and more detail. I will be listing on Ebay tonight!

Tattered Angel Series.....SOLD

This is the latest Angel in the "Tattered Angel" series. Deep red and turquoise is one of my favorite color combinations,so I incorporated that into this painting. I try to design my Angels to fit a large range of styles, Folk Art, Primitive, Rustic, Modern, with a touch of French and Italian frescoes all in one! I will be listing this painting on Ebay tonight.You can see my current paintings for sale by clicking**HERE**.
