Fluid Painting for Sale

For sale, toes not included.  This painting, ‘Chain of Events’ features a copper chain which runs through it.  These neutrals mixed in with the copper remind me of an aerial map of water and land.  You can find it and two of its mates for sale at:

The Woodlands Artist

Where would you put this painting?  It’s called ‘Stone Flow.’  You’d be surprised the peace it exudes; it seems to relax the atmosphere in a room.  These neutral colors working with the blues make me think of stone and water and all the natural forces coming together.  Find it for sale at:

I really love fluid art. When I’m working I find that it’s about one in four or five that turns out - so when I get one like this, it’s cause for celebration! Check out my site.  You’ll be glad you did.

Comparing Two Paintings

Which of these two paintings do you like best? The first one reminds me of pastel bubbles; the second makes me think of a delta.  Both of these designs are now on all kinds of things that will brighten your home and wardrobe!  They’re having a 20% sale today.

I really ADORE these paint pours and am looking forward to warmer weather when I can make more!

SOLD - Chicago Blackhawks Paint Pour

SOLD! My people wanted me to do a paint pour with the Chicago Blackhawks’ colors.  Their son’s room is done in entirely these colors and they knew this would be a winning choice.  Loving the little cells in this one -to me, some of them look like pomegranate seeds.  Lots to look at in this piece and I am loving those Chicago Blackhawk colors.  You can find more at 

www.colorcatstudios101.etsy.com

Here’s a closeup of some of those cool cells:

Below is the entire painting:

Another closeup.  I really like the little yellow/orange/black ones flowing like a stream between the others.

And,

Aaaahhh! Love it!  I’m up for doing some more team colors!

Relaxing Paint Pour

I’m really happy with this piece and love the way the cells formed (a pouring artist’s goal). The cool colors are so calming they remind me of water and that little pop of hot red gels the entire work.  I love it!  

You can see where I signed it on and notice that all sides are a continuation of the front.  Just one of those little extras I think this is important to the whole and enhances the entire painting. Also, the frame is two inches deep; one of my paintings has some real heft.  Another indicator of quality.  

And... our son...

Another closeup...

These babies are made not only for you but for your great grandchildren!  Find this and similar works at www.colorcatstudios101.etsy.com

This last shot is the entire piece.  Pretty much loving it.

‘Watermark’ Fluid Art Painting

I named this one ‘Watermark’ because it reminds me of the effects of water and time on stone.  The textures of the paint flow draw your eyes through the painting over and over again to explore the mystery of it.  The golds and iridescents reflect and dance and you can see how the painting changes in different lights.  Looks pretty good with our son holding it; pretty sure it’d look good in your home too!

Kind of blends in with the bricks, huh. :)

Under different lighting it changes.  This shot shows the golds better...

One more... my son is saying ‘Please buy this painting so I don’t have to hold it again...’. Find it at

Stone Flow For Sale

This.  This is ‘Stone Flow.’  At 24”x30”, it’s the biggest piece in my Steel Blue series of four paintings.  It has a partner, ‘Stone Flow II,’ which can actually hang next to it as a diptych (two paintings hung together as one).  When they’re hung together they actually DO flow together.  You can see that in my previous stone flow post.  Pretty much loving these. Please buy them so I can afford to make more.  

You can find all four of my paintings which are sold separately - Stone Flow, Stone Flow II, Chain of Events and the incomparable Abominable Baby Bird at 

www.colorcatstudios101.etsy.com

www.colorcatstudios101.etsy.com.  On my website you’ll find many more pictures and some closeups so that you can see the textures.  I textured the canvas before painting these to give it added interest; it’s like an untold story that makes you think.  

Check them out! 

Paint Pouring Art

I love this! Because it’s covered with smooth, shiny resin the photos aren’t the best and are very reflective, but you get the idea.   That shine deepens the colors and just makes it gorgeous, I’m just sorry I didn’t take pics before I gave it a resin coat.  The reds and blues work so nicely together and the pop of black and white just makes it fun to look at.  Throughout the painting you will see a gunmetal shiny grey sparkle that just pulls the whole thing together.

I created this on an 8” x 8” square cradled birch and the colors flow over all sides to make the entire thing look like art. Rich, high-quality acrylics make this an archival, non-fading heirloom. At $65.00, that’s quite a bargain and a fantabulous one of a kind gift!  Find it at www.colorcatstudios101.etsy.com.

Note: this is an extremely thick layer of acrylics.  What do you do if it gets dusty?  Take a damp cloth to it.  That’s all!  The surface is impermeable. 

Coasters for Sale

These are SO BRIGHT!  I’m making coasters for an upcoming Christmas show that positively glow under black light.  Pretty much loving these.  I’m not planning on posting them on my website as I think they’ll pretty much all sell at the Mistletoe Market in December.  If you’re positively in love with any let me know and I’ll set them aside for you.  Are there any that are your runaway favorites?

I like this one... it looks a little froggy to me.

This one looks like you could literally reach into it.

Maybe my favorite with all those lovely colors...

Really cool in a butterfly wing kind of way.

Well, what can I say about these awesome colors?  LOVE!

This one looks like a gentle flowing waterfall to me.

Anyway, if there’s anything you love, let me know at colorcatstudios@gmail.com and I’ll set it aside for you.  My plan is to give them all a glossy resin top. :) ❤️ 

New Series of Paintings

Vote #1, #2, #3 or #4; I’m very curious which painting you like best!  I’ve worked another series here and am in the varnishing process. Pretty sure I blew off some brain cells today doing THAT!  They’re getting many coats of UV protectant varnish.  These are pretty big pieces; you can judge by my toes and the leaves how big they are. Which is your fave? 

This first one is the biggest, I haven’t measured yet but probably 34x40”. .... maybe? :)

#2 - This one is probably 24”x36”.... maybe...

#3, this one is a nice, cute size, at about 16x20”.  Artists do measure.  But we estimate a lot too.  In all honesty I’ve got a show coming up soI’m working hard.  Measurement isn’t as important right now as getting them varnished.  I put many coats on for serious protection, UV protection and a nice gloss.  THAT is what is important right now... getting the layers of varnish down, letting them dry, and adding more layers.  Time.

And coming in last but not least, #4.  This one is... hmmm... about 20”x18”.  Maybe.  Oh!  This is the only one I’ve posted on my website so far - so if you’re dying to purchase it before someone else gets their greedy little hands on it, you can find the size AND make it your own in a minute!

I WOULD appreciate your vote. :). These help me determine what my adoring public (haha) wants.

Baby Bird Painting

Now THIS one makes me LAUGH!  If you want a piece of art in your home that will start conversations and cheer everyone, this is the bird.  I mean painting.  Named Abominable Baby Bird, you better come and get it before it comes to get YOU.  Find it at www.colorcatstudios101.etsy.com. 

www.colorcatstudios101.etsy.com

You can find lots of photos of the painting there as well. This is one of four paintings in my Copper Beach series.  All four paintings employ the same colors: blue, white, tan, black, copper and gold.  Oh MAN, I stepped in something good this time!

It looks as if that baby bird is just stretching his wings trying to figure out how to use them so he can MOVE!

Oh my GOODNESS i love the way these paints flowed!!!

Matisse Paint Pour

For all its bold color I named this one ‘Matisse’ and took some shots of it so you could look at all its little nuances.  Really love the way the blues and reds mixed in this one with little bold shouts of black and white.  That gunmetal sparkle throughout is like the icing on the cake.  Armchair shopping at its best - www.colorcatstudios101.etsy.com. 

www.colorcatstudios101.etsy.com

This photo shows how big it is: 8” square with 3/4” depth.  It’s on cradled birch - gorgeous, smooth and sturdy.  My little giraffe friend likes it too.

I was a little frustrated because I forgot to take pics of this before I laid down the resin.  Even in the video you can see a lot of reflections and probably see me with my camera if you look closely.  But you know, it’s all right - you can really see what you’ll get, and THAT’S a good thing!  Absolutely love this one with two of my favorite compliments working together

This shot shows how it wraps around the sides.  I love that it continues the art all the way around. :) ❤️ 

Paint Pours for Sale

This little beauty is just so much fun in its waves of cool, watery colors.  It reminds me of swimming and the water flowing around myself in rivulets.  I feel cool just looking at it!  In the center I put most of the iridescents which blend gloriously with the other colors as they reach outward.  Oh, I LOVE this one of a kind piece!

I painted it on a 6”x6” cradled wood support, and let the paint flow over the edges so even the sides look like art.  Note: this is an extremely thick layer of acrylics.  What do you do if it gets dusty?  Take a damp cloth to it.  That’s all!  The surface is impermeable. Wired and ready for hanging.  Www.colorcatstudios101.etsy.com.

An heirloom for $60.00!

Creamsicle Painting

This acrylic pour is just so beautiful, and the colors so rich I think I could eat it.  Some of the colors remind me of a creamsicle and next to those peaches all I can think to name it is ‘Luscious.’  If you could see it in person and see the depth and breadth of all these colors glowing it up together I bet you’d think so too!

I created this on an 8” x 8” square cradled birch and the colors flow over the edges to make even the sides look like art. I also signed it on the side because I didn’t want to disturb the beautiful flow of colors.  Rich, high-quality acrylics make this an archival, non-fading heirloom. At $60.00, that’s quite a bargain and a great one of a kind gift!

Note: this is an extremely thick layer of acrylics.  What do you do if it gets dusty?  Take a damp cloth to it.  That’s all!  The surface is impermeable.

You can find more pictures of this painting and more information at my website, www.colorcatstudios101.etsy.com. Come and find me and knock out a few Christmas gifts with pleasure from your own home!

My Art and Dave’s Killer Bread

You see one of the pictures I took for size comparison is with Dave’s Killer Bread.  We ALL know how good that stuff is - it’s art!  So, art next to art. 🙂  

This beautiful baby is a nice 16x20 and will make a strong impact wherever you put it.  I had difficulty photographing it to show the golds and the glowing layers without getting reflections.  It looks good in pictures but it pretty stunning in person and looks like a happy celebration as the bleeds and swirls pull you in.

Created with the highest quality archival paints on sturdy, 1 1/2” deep cradled birch.  The colors will not fade and you will be able to pass it down as an heirloom.  Signed on the side because it was just too beautiful to disturb anything by front signing.  Find it at www.colorcatstudios101.etsy.com at a bargain price of $300.00! Oh happy day!
