If you look to your left you will see a new page has been added called Buy Art Direct From The Artist Here. I am going to give the ol’ selling art from my blog another try. Some paintings are just too special to take the ebay gamble on and I would prefer to avoid the fees associated with selling there if possible.

I LOVE the painting I added to the page today:

Crucified With Him: large mixed media painting on cupboard door

Visit the page or click om the image above for more photos and a description.

This painting started out as an ink sketch.

I used layers of acrylic paint and ink to achieve a nice aged look. I am still having issues with hands and the amount of fingers they have. At one point when I was just about done, I realized that Mary’s hand that was on Jesus’ belly had five fingers and a thumb! You can still see traces of it here.

All in all, I like it.

If you are interested, you can find it on EBAY now.

Large cupboard door painting on ebay tonight.

I have to say, I have grown a bit attached to this piece. I try not to…but this has been in the corner of my bedroom for several weeks. She has been there when I go to sleep and when I wake up. The strange thing about living with art is, it seems to change from day to day. Each day I looked at it, I considered something new. Sometimes it made me not only realize something new within the painting, but new within myself.

I’ve decided to sell this piece on ebay tonight. I have to offer something!! and although it is pretty stinkin cool,  it doesn’t quite go with my other show pieces.

It measures 18″X 24″X1.5″. Media includes: papers, ink,  and acrylic paint.

Titled: Still Waiting

There are many layers and details that do not show in these photos.

I have done several variations of this landscape floral arrangement…this time it is with encaustic medium (beeswax and damar resin) and oil paint! What fun! Have a look-see at the yummy texture…

11″ X 14″ X 1.5″ encasutic on cradled board

This will be on EBAY tonight. I also put an abstract encaustic floral in my rarely-used etsy shop (see sidebar for a peek).
