"Full Bloom"

16"x20" Acrylic on Canvas

Contact me for Purchasing Information

     This is number 6 of the 30 paintings in 30 days.  I worked on it several days, experimenting with high gloss gel and transparent acrylic applied with a palette knife.  It has quite a few layers on transparent on top of transparent, and finally a spattering of opaque acrylic ink.  It was fun, and kind of "Georgia O'Keefe style.  I'm working on several paintings daily in order to keep up with this challenge.  I guess if I would paint very small and very simple, I could do one per day.  But, no.  I have to work large.  I guess the whole idea is to paint daily, not necessarily finish one daily.  I refuse to let it beat me, though.  Hope you enjoy these colors!

"Herbata"

"Herbata"

5"x7" Alcohol Ink on Yupo

     This is the last of the 30 in 30 challenge.  I'm bummed about it.  I just got in the groove, it seems like.  I think I might just continue on, challenging myself.  This "Herbata" is a cup full of polish tea.  I've never been to Poland, nor have i ever had their tea.  But I do like the word.  Some languages just have a nice rhythm to them.  I especially like the color combo in this painting.  The collaged stamp sets it off.  I think will also go into my card set.  

His Love

"His Love"

22"x30"

Acrylic on Canvas

SOLD

     I painted this during worship today.  It was so much fun.  Several people came up to me and explained that from their seat in the sanctuary, they could see the face of Jesus.  It was very interesting, because, when I sat down, I could see a definite face.  It's odd because each person sees it in a different place.  And, up close it doesn't appear at all.  That's one thing that I love about this kind of art.  This painting SOLD before I could get it off the easel, and for a DOUBLE portion.  Yay!

Java Number 9

#9 in my Java Series. This one is done with collage papers on 8 x 10 canvas board and lots of texture in the background. I added the clay cross as an accent piece. Jesus in the morning is good!

For Sale. Again, for Uganda mission money.

Java #8

This beautiful 11x14 in my Java Series, is less textured than the rest. I used some manipulated collage papers, and some moulding paste for the textured rose. The cup is done in torn paper. The background is so beautiful, I couldn't bear to cover it up with texture. The steam swirls remind me of little worship dancers. That's just what I feel like doing after a good cup of joe in the mornings. I'm really pleased with this one. It was fun to do. Proceeds go towards Uganda mission sewing machine project. This one is not sold, yet.

Just Sold.

Java #7

Java #7 in my series. This one is small, 8x10, mixed media and collage. It's beautifully textured and full of color. Just right for a small little kitchen area. Also, is one of a kind. For sale to earn mission money for Uganda sewing machines. Contact me.

I like Coffee and I like Tea

This is #4 in my Java series. Ok, I know it's not Java. But it's still beautiful and fitting to include in my Java series. It's texture and collage, using an assortment of papers, string, and other things for all of that background texture. I used acrylic and other mixed media. This was a blast to do! Can't wait to do another. I'm working on prints for this one, also. Contact me if interested. This original is sold.

Jesus in my Cup Java #3

This is 11x14 acrylic and mixed media. It's my third in a series of Java, with lots of texture and collage papers. I really like this one. The photo doesn't do it justice. this original is sold, but I'm working on prints. Contact me, if you would like one, of if you would like an original of your own.

Java #2

This is second in my Textured, Collage, Java series. It is on canvas board, done with Citra Solv papers. I love the rich colors and all the texture. It was fun to do. The size is 11x14. I'm working on prints. If interested, please contact me.

Top of the Morning

This is a textured collage piece 8x10" on canvas board. It was experimental, just playing with textures and citra solve papers. The idea came from a wonderful little song that my husband made up that he sings on his way to "the Hill" each morning for his quiet time with Jesus. Won't you agree that Jesus and coffee are the best way to start the day?

This is SOLD along with two other commission pieces to go with it. More to come! What fun!

This too, is for Mission Uganda. I'm hoping to raise enough money to provide 15 sewing machines for Uganda people to use to make a living and feed their babies. Each machine is 150.00 Prints will be available soon. Check back on this post for availability date.
