Galaxy Painting for Sale

This little 8”x10” piece will draw you in and converse with you about galaxies, planets and stars.  It actually fills me with joy just contemplating the possibilities!  In it you will find blues, teals and whites alongside blacks, golds and opalescents which give a rosey hue and make you feel like you’re staring into the depths of space.  Coolio!!

Oh, those iridescents!!!! Yummy!

You can find lots more photos of this painting on my website, www.colorcatstudios101.etsy.com

I painted this on a small, 8”x10” canvas with high quality archival acrylics.  A peaceful and powerful painting at a great price of $80.00, signed on the side.  You can see I let the paints flow over the edges to make the entire piece ART!  Perfect for a unique, one of a kind gift, or for yourself, just in case you need a little trip into space now and then. ;).

‘Glorious’ Painting

 Honestly, I think this might be my favorite one of all my pourings. The golds and reds have melded together so perfectly and the teals and blues compliment them so well that it’s a joy to follow the movement. 

Oh my goodness, just look at this thing!

It’s 12x12” on cradled birch, heirloom quality paints for only $120.00. https://etsy.me/2UmAwyH. I wish somehow I could capture the beauty of this thing with a photograph, but alas, it is not to be.  Just know that it is ever so much more beautiful in person.  Signed on the side.  The birch box is about 1” thick, and I let the paint pour over the sides to continue the art.

Glorious!! You can find lots more pics on my website,

Now that I have them photographed, I’m going to flood them with super-glossy protective resin and give them nice cork backs. 🙂. If you want them, now is the time because I am not going to be making more!  

I like this one... it looks octopussy.

As far as the black and gold coasters, I made only eight and just posted the other four in my previous post.  When I asked if people wanted to see that they were recycled I got a resounding yes, so you my find little chipped pieces or a bit of grout I left on one.  Picture me digging through piles of discarded builders’ junk, scraping and scrubbing and you’ll get the picture.  Anyway, once these are gone, they are GONE! 

Oh my goodness, I love these!

You would notice this following one has a little chip out of its corner.  Picture me digging through bins of discarded builders’ junk, chipping grout off tiles, scrubbing them and you’ll get the idea.  I asked if people wanted to be reminded that these are recycled and got a resounding ‘YES!’  So, I used some with tiny chips, left a little grout, and we will celebrate recycling and helping this ol’ world.  That being said, I think these little stunners don’t lose anything but actually gain personality with these little blemishes.

Whew!  Pretty all over the place!

Art Decision Making

Okay, so here’s the problem, and one reason why it’s so wonderful to get a perfect piece.  I adore this 8x10.  I love the colors, the way they flow and intermingle, the shapes... everything.  Except for the leaf stuck in the paint.  What would you do? I could try tweezering it off, but the chance of ruining the entire piece is about 85%.  I could just pour resin over the whole thing and call it art... hmmm?

Other things that can happen?  People mowing and blowing down the street - flying debris.  Insects, twigs, dirt... the paint literally sliding off once I get it ‘set’ and ruining the entire composition... cats and rats and elephants... SOOOO when I get one I like - I REJOICE!  Let me know what you think about my LEAF painting.  Would you buy a painting with a leaf? 

Honestly, for me, it’s so beautiful I’m just not willing to risk ruining the whole thing to remove one leaf.

Paint Pouring Painting - ‘Rising’

You know, I began doing paint pouring in response to my shoulder surgery, which left me unable to mentally focus long enough to produce my ‘normal’ style of art.  But it’s become more than that.  The beauty of these works really moves me in a way that’s hard to describe.  Here’s the entire painting:

It’s also a huge challenge to get one of these to turn out and many I end up painting over.  But this one.  I call it ‘Rise,’ because for me the paint rises up like a stem of gladiola flowers.  The fact that there’s a little elephant in with the flowers I guess is just a bonus.  Do you see him?  He’s in this following picture:

Aw, goodness.  He looks like Dumbo. ❤️ Oh, the prettiness never ends with this one!

I just popped this on my website last night.  Believe it or not, these are ever so much more beautiful in person, with their deep, glossy colors.  You can find this painting and many others at www.colorcatstudios101.etsy.com.

Oh, goodness, I’m in love all over again!

Dragons Among Us Painting

This is my painting ‘Dragons Among Us.’  I’ve got three dragons hidden within the depths of space... can you find them?  I just posted it on my site, www.colorcatstudios101.etsy.com for a mere $90.00.  Christmas is coming, people.  Once this is gone, it’s gone.  These paint pours are what I’d call controlled chaos - I can control them to an extent, but they also have a mind of their own and that’s what makes them so special.  Let’s take a look at this one:  Here’s the entire painting.

It’s 10”x10” on a deep gallery-wrapped canvas.  Some closer detail:

Here it is with my Yeti for size comparison:

Oh my goodness, the colors are just glorious!  The sides are really cool, too.  When you do paint pours, you have to use twice as much paint as would ever remain on the canvas.  It simply has to pour over the edges in order for you to get the movement you desire.  I leave the paint on the edges because it makes the entire piece, front and sides, look like art!  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS!!!
