I was in Montreal last week for a few wonderful days, I've had house guests since, I have done computer work as webmaster for two local art organizations, etc.
What about painting? Well, I've created a few more of my "Little Gems Collection" pieces; several are now at the Ottawa School of Art Boutique Gallery in downtown Ottawa along with my new "Polar" series ( I forgot to photograph them before bringing them to the gallery:-(
Here are a few of my recent fun pieces:

If interested, check my mixed media page ( see menu at top) where you can view close-ups of some of the textures.
"My Sweet Friend"
Above is another of my "Little Gems Collection". This glass-like or porcelain-like acrylic piece is on a 4" x 4" gallery cradled panel with sides painted black. It is highly textured and is a totally whimsical piece. My friend and great artist Luminita Serbanescu and I will be having a show in July called "Stunning Gifts" and the focus will be on small, reasonably-priced artwork perfect for giving.
In another post, I will soon show the latest hand-made, hand -painted jewelry on watercolor paper that I have completed.
Now, I am going back to a large watercolour piece that seems to take forever to finish...but I think it will be worth the time spent on it.
Wishing you a wonderful week.
I love these little paintings and they truly are gems! Great title, too! I'm looking forward to seeing more of them!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Theresa. You may get tired of seeing these pieces if I don't get tired of making them:-)
DeleteBright, colourful, full of movement...and fish! :) My favourite!
ReplyDeleteI love the switching back and forth between loose and tight, it seems to fill both sides of our brains. Best of luck with the sales of them, I know they'll go quickly.
Jeanette, thank you! You could probably tell me though that the fish I painted don't exist anywhere except in my imagination.
DeleteI like the explanation or justification you provide for this switching back and forth that I have doing lately...I felt almost guilty about it, I think. Now, I feel that it is totally justified:-)
I hope that you are starting to have (well-deserved)nice weather.
They are both great Christiane! Colorful and fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laura. Yes, for some reason, I just want to "play" while I am painting these days.
DeleteHAND MADE JEWELLERY SOUNDS VERY INTERESTING CHRISTIANE ... LOVE THE LITTLE GEM BELOW ON THE GLASS ... GOOD LUCK WITH ALL YOUR SALES
ReplyDeleteHi, Jane. I hope that you are doing well. I am glad that you like the "Little Gem":-) I already have some jewelry posted on my "Mini-Paintings Jewelry Page" on this blog - see top menu. However, quite a few of those pieces are already sold. I will be posting recent ones this week.
DeleteWonderful pieces, love the luminous quality to that first piece.
ReplyDeleteHi, Bren. It's great to hear from you. I was looking at your beautiful work, yesterday. You have been working hard and creating some amazing pieces.
DeleteI am glad that you like these.
