The Green Chair III

This is the first "Green Chair" series painting that is in Gouache.  I am doing another in this medium and have just about decided to do the rest of the series in Gouache on paper.  I like the abstract images that seem easier for me to achieve in this particular kind of painting.

13.5" x 10.5" Gouache on Acrylic Tinted Paper

Made for Each Other

Which came first??

The bird or the Painting of "Pears"? 

The painting was done before Oscar arrived.  They do make a nice pair (no pun intended)

Oscar is our pet conjure parrot.  He is a lively addition to our household and this is one of his favorite perches.  I sometimes wonder if he is drawn by the colors or feels secure camouflaged by the painting

Give the Gift or Art to Family, Friends or Yourself

It's not too early to do Holiday Gift shopping.   I've added a "Holiday Sale" page to my website, where I will be offering original paintings at sale prices.  New listings weekly, so visit often.

Wind Tossed Tulips launch the campaign!

Enhanced Sketches

Mara Twice

There is always something in a quick gesture sketch that I never quite capture 100% when I use one as a source for a painting.  Since I usually do them on newsprint, they are not archival, or suitable for framing.  One day when I was making prints of original artwork, I shot some of the news print sketches and used photoshop to enhance the backgrounds to make them look old and yellowed.  Printed on Fine Art Paper, matted and framed they make a stunning grouping and can be whatever size best fits the wall or decor.

Hallelujah!!!!

My Website is back!!!!! :-)  SSiebenArt

At least the preliminary pass.  I need to back away....maybe paint something;  then I'll be ready to tweak it. 

All of you eagle eyes out there know the routine.   I'm always open to suggestions.

Change of Heart

I know I said I was going to migrate to my website for blogging.  Then a couple of days later, the website crashed.  Maybe it was an omen.  Anyway, I am back to "My Art Beat", and it feels good!!
