Art Every Day - Day 57 - painting

I felt pulled to do another of these abstract flower paintings today.

I chose a slightly softer color palette with white, yellows, corals, and browns.

It didn't have the same effect on me as the gray and red one I did the other day.

It feels like something is missing. Maybe its just the intensity of the colors this time, or lack thereof.
I still like it, it's just not as exciting to me as the other one.

Art Every Day - Day 56 - Christmas paintings and sketch

So here are the paintings I did for Christmas gifts. They all went over very well.



This one was for my son's girlfriend. Gray and red are her favorite colors and I wanted to do something kinda fun and girly and different for her. She loved it and its the exact colors she is redoing her room to - and I had no idea. I just knew she liked those colors and it seemed to fit her when I saw a similar design online.

 I had a blast doing this one and its one of my favorites of all the recent paintings I've done. I think I'm going to do more like this in the near future.  24x24 acrylic on canvas





This is from a photograph of my husband playing golf. I simplified the background, took out buildings and kinda made it abstractish.  18x24 acrylic on canvas




This was for my son, a PlayStation fan. Simple, but it means something to him.

This is for, and of, my in-laws on a trip in West Virginia, I believe. I struggled a lot with this one, but it turned out pretty well in the end. They loved it and that's what counts.

And this is my art for today - a quick pencil sketch.
