Acanthus Paintings

This piece and its mate have been in the works for several weeks.  After much planning, careful steps and a mad rush of creativity it’s time for the finishing touches.  


Not done yet but these minute finishing touches have taken up my entire day.  Getting there!  




I am absolutely loving the textures and took a couple closeup shots for you to get the feel of it. 


Love these!  I’m hoping to have both paintings completely finished by Saturday night.

Acanthus Leaves, Newest Painting

This pencil, pen and watercolor piece and the other two pics foreshadow the painting I just finished TODAY!!!  This afternoon will be photography (and soup making) so watch my feed and I’ll post my full-blown 30”x30” painting tonight!


 I am EXCITED.


I really love the watercolor; it seems fit for framing itself.  The big painting is acrylic and charcoal and was a JOY to paint.  I have long love acanthus leaves; they inspire me in so many ways.  Looks like the start of a new series... I used @rubymountainpaintco and @hydracolour handmade paints for this; LOVE THEM.

Wait until you see the finished piece.  A blurry portion is shown here in the background behind the brushes.  :). TONIGHT!!
