They say diamonds are made under pressure. I'd like to think that when I have a deadline I can make diamonds. Here are the new works (any on cradled panels have painted edges) that I'll be debuting at the Claresholm Willow Creek Art Show this coming weekend ...

Oh how lovely, Alice - those irises are magnificent, and that Midnight Magic is beyond stunning. Diamonds under pressure, indeed. I love the way Bob stands on out that background and the way Big Daddy LIVES in those trees. The butterflies are delightful as well; that monarch is filled with light. Prodigious work, my friend. xoxox
ReplyDeleteHuge thanks Win. It feels good to see them finished, all lined up and ready to hit the road!
DeleteThese are beautiful Alice, my two favorites are: Here Today,Gone Tomorrow and Everday Magnificence. Wishing you a very successful show!
ReplyDeleteThank you for checking this post and for your praise, Laura. It's always great to hear which ones resonate with another artist. I see you chose paintings with a hot palette!
DeleteSo wonderful to see direct painting on top of the richly textured and interesting backgrounds. I like the style.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Eileen, I appreciate your taking a look and commenting.
DeleteI've been a serious classical painter for decades. It was time to venture forth, to step out from the traditional and marry it with mixed media - let the good times roll!
These are all very nice - great stuff Alice!
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you, Murray!
DeleteFabulous Alice! I especially like the flowers with the fascinating backgrounds - goo luck at the show.
