Paint Pouring Art

Getting ready for fall shows and Christmas! These three photos show what different lighting does to a piece of art. Getting the true colors is always a challenge. But oh, man, I am loving this one so much no matter how it photographs!

Watch my website, www.colorcatstudios101.etsy.com for all manner of awesome, original gifts; there’s all kinds of wonder there and I will soon be adding every day!

Isn’t this just so cool? I’m making coasters, of which this is one, 6x6” squares for hanging, 10x10” squares for hanging y mas!

If I had to guess, its true colors lay somewhere between door #1 and door #2. #3 is leaning a little toward the blue side.

Acrylic Pour Painting - WOW!

Wow, I am loving this paint pour! At 10” square, it’s a little piece that will just reel you in. You can find it for sale on my website. It’s on a 2” deep, heavy gallery-wrapped canvas. I’ve been working on these like crazy and found that they’re not as easy as they look, but man, this one. Love.

colorcatstudios101.etsy.com is THE place. :)

Here’s a closeup of the painting:

Oh my goodness, it’s beautiful!!!

In the Art Studio with My Watercolors

This is, I think, the most honest art form for me. When I’m tired or worn out, in a hurry or just needing to lay down some color, it usually comes back to something like this. And it always seems to be an expression of flowers, to which I am so deeply and intricately connected. The layers of color, the compliments and the bleeds satisfy me in a very deep way. Not to mention the highly pigmented, super bright QOR watercolors made by Golden.

Turkish tour

Another look at those natural color-sources. I asked about cochineal, because you couldn't just have that on a shelf, and yes, their deep reds are cochineal. It's a South American insect that is a parasite to the prickly pear. Owners deposit them into their fields, and blow them off and collect them once they're big. Then they crush their fat, bloody bodies for a nice, natural, red dye. I'm so happy to report that the rug we purchased has cochineal in it. I'm also happy to report that it's likely in your lipstick and blush, ladies, and if you drink cherry coke - it's in there, too! :)

'My' Chair

At our theatre the other night we had an orchestra meeting after I taught my sets class. After about a half hour, someone pulled me out of the meeting for a few minutes. When I came back, everyone in the room was laughing and pointing to the nice, uh, black leather chair. I had paint on the back of my shirt, and it permanently smeared all over the leather! The last time I went in the office, I noticed that someone had taped up the sign you see here. One way to lay claim to something! Well, it's not the first time, let's see, there's my driveway with many colors of paint, our carpet with Peter Pan green footprints, my car with yellow paint on the seat, my gloves, half of my clothes. It seems like everyone likes my painted clothes, kind of like already-broken-in-jeans. Maybe I should start a clothing line!
