Spaceballs

"Spaceballs"
12" x 36"
Acrylic/colored pencil on wrapped canvas 

Oh, my gosh, if you ever get the chance to play with spaceballs, hop the next shuttle and do it!  Never mind the cost. You won't be disappointed. It's a totally intuitive game, they do whatever it is you think they should do, with a dozen colorful balls at a time!  

Other than that goofiness, this piece was created in a similar fashion to the watercolors frozen below zero that I showed you a couple of weeks ago. These area acrylic with plastic wrap applied and left to dry and then I colored in the wrinkled areas with colored pencils... neon colors, no less.  It is a stunning piece.  The Spaceballs made me say that. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Dahlia Daze

"Dahlia Daze"
18" x 24"
Acrylic and colored pencil on canvas

I sat on a short wall to rest for a few minutes and saw the under side of what was probably a fantastic dahlia.  It was a "petticoat" view of something I'd normally only photograph from the top.                                                                                                                                                                                            

The painting went okay, but I lost interest in trying to create all the subtle texture in the leaves, so I reached for my colored pencils.  Exactly what I wanted!

This painting is listed with, and for sale through a Daily Paintworks Auction. 

Thank you for visiting today.
