Faraway Field

This Celtic Knot enclosed field of flowers is painted in acrylic on an 11x14 stretched canvas.  It could be any where, it came straight from my imagination.  I first painted a multi colored back ground and added the knot.  Not sure of what would live within it, I began painting the flowers around the boarder.  Once that was done I sat back and imagined what would fit within.

Hope for Creativity

This painting, done on an artist's palette, is for a charity auction.  Check out www.hopeforcreativity.org  for the information on their October first auction.  The palettes will be sold to raise money to purchase art supplies for needy children.  When I found out about this I was excited to join in;  as an artist and art teacher, this is just the sort of thing I can get behind.  The idea behind my painting, which is also written on the blue band around the landscape is:

Hope in the dawn of a new day, be inspired by the world around you, and free your creativity.

It has my celtic knot, and a look that reminds me of 'Creativity' one of  my past paintings.  If you like it go to the site and find out about the auction, it's for a good cause.
