Autumn Romanced No. 2

 This is a companion piece to Autumn Romanced. Again inspired by the beautiful season. Mixed media 8x8 on canvas. Fluid acrylics were used in layers and details with pastels. 

Autumn Romanced

 The feeling of autumn is in the air or the leaves actually. I am always inspired by the beautiful season. This is an 8x8 canvas mixed media. I started with layers of fluid acrylics and let it dry, then I accented the painting with more acrylics and pastels. I also imprinted.

Autumn Approaching

 Autumn is in the air and I got inspired. Painted this 8x8 in mixed media.

Merengue

  This collage is on canvas 8x8. Reminded me of a dance .

All Buttoned Up

I just got notified that this painting which I entered in a juried on line show, was select for display at the North Western Pastel Society's 25th Annual Internationa Open Exhibit. I was very delighted, of course, as I don't often do work with pastels. The work is mixed media and is going to be shipped to Tacoma, Washington for exhibition there. The work is small 6x12. It is framed in black and in a shadow box, the bordeers are yellow.There are buttons and a string glued on.  

Red, Violet and Green in touch.

On a arecent visit to the local library I spotted these large seeds that had bloomed into what looked like cherries. They came from the dogwoods. Again, the media is mixed. Size  8x8.

YE;LLOW AND RED IN THE MOOD

This collage came about slowly. I first painted the background with mixed media and later I layered on the colors and put pieces of tissue paper. I also painted passages in ink to darken some areas. This is another in the Fall series. Measurees 8x8.

WHEN WE WORE PINK

 I am working on a series reminiscing old times in my youth in Cuba. We wore lots of beautiful dresses made in materials such as organza, polish cotton, satin, etc which tend not to be in used much any more. We would go all dresses up to the park to hear a band that played in a gazebo at the park and where young people met. Such beautiful times long gone now.

 Decided to put Musical Moments together. I think I like them together. What do you think? The painting now will go in a sixteen by twenty, my favorite size.  

Musical Moments No. 2

This piece is a companion to the other Musical Moments. I will be framing them  in black. Am going to paint a series of membrance as part of memories of the now distant yet close land I came from. There were many years of separation when it was not possible to travel between this country and Cuba and didn't see my folks for close to 20 years. I am going to do a series incorporating some of the letters that sustained us duiring those painful years. .
