My dad wanted some paintings to give as Christmas gifts, and here is what he got. Again the beautiful frames were made by my talented husband :) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The photography is not my best, but I was pressed for time and did not do a retake, sorry. Working on several new projects, lots of snow days = painting time!
Maybe I should paint a few spring landscapes, and mother nature might follow suit, one can dream...
Yes these are actual ice skates applied to my painting surface! Another 3D peice which is now in a lovely silver frame. This icey painting also sports several snowflakes I created with foam core. At 25x35 inches it is a dramatic statement in cool tones.
This 3D acrylic is 22x34, and has actual gardening tools attached to the board with a paper mache technique. I have fun creating sculpture like paintings, and like painting over the forms as if they were not there, creating interesting effects. This one is unframed, I am hoping one will be made soon.
Here is the the sneaker on site at the Springfield Symphony Hall. It's hard to beleive the project is over. What a great way to spend the summer, I am on the look out for other projects of this kind.
