"At the end of the Day"

Painted in acrylics and metallics.

Tropical Sun Setting

Painted in metallic acrylic paints over canvas and partly foil paper. I am introducing foil paper as a part of my mixed media materials so I have been practicing with it.  I am realizing there are all kinds of cool things you can do with foil paper.  It is so much fun.

The abstract "Let There Be Peace" was done in acrylics.  In a time of many disturbing events I wanted to make a statement.

"Blues Bro Bobio"

This is an abstract portrait of my husband Bob.  I call him Bobio sometimes.  He is more handome than Dan Aykroyd  but when he dresses up for Halloween as one of the "Blues Brothers" there is a strong resemblance to Dan. Our kids usually have a costume party and I think they would be disappointed if Bob were dressed as anyone else.  The painting was done in acrylics.

"Answer Keys"
Mixed Media
The door knob was mounted to the canvas and the door was painted in acrylics. The keys were also glued to the canvas. The words were decoupaged.

"Behind Stormy Clouds"  was painted in acrylics and plaster was used in the darker clouds.  As I was painting I started thinking of how beautiful God's creation is behind those stormy clouds. I think I can relate that if applied to life we may see stormy clouds but once they clear there is beauty beyond words. That is why we need to give the stormy clouds time, have faith and hope.
