NEW "LITTLE GEMS COLLECTION"

Summer is the time of  fun in the sun, colorful butterflies, thanking those patient teachers, congratulating the young graduates and smiling with the newly-weds. What better time for my new "Little Gems Collection".  

I have been having fun creating these small pieces. These whimsical, highly textured and affordable acrylic and mixed media pieces are full of reflecting light and colors. They are painted on gallery birch panels that can sit on a shelf, on a desk or be displayed on the wall. These small paintings have layers and layers of color, of acrylic medium and are finished to a hard, shiny surface.


 They will cheer up any corner and any heart:-) They certainly make me smile as I work creating them:-) . My next one will have spring flowers most likely.

  They will soon be offered through various art galleries in the Ottawa area and perhaps online, but here are two that are available for the time being directly from me. See close-ups on my Mixed Media page.

Do let me know what you think of them.
 Have a super creative week!

    1. Thank you, Irina. I am absolutely hooked on making these textured paintings. I brought 5 little ones over to a local gallery this morning while I have several in another gallery...and I want to make more:-) I certainly hope that they will continue to sell. I think that they make wonderful little gifts.
      You will enjoy the acrylics. They are great to "play". I am looking forward to seeing your acrylic paintings. Take good care of yourself and have a great summer.
