Wow, what a couple of weeks it's been! I have had medical issues with my mom and husband, fought a nasty stomach bug and have 2 new 4 month old puppies! Needless to say, I haven't found time to paint :( I also haven't added any new paintings to my Etsy store in ages! I have decided to put all of my current original art on sale as I start focusing on my shop and painting again. Use this link to see what I have:

The reveal is in! My daughter visited today and selected these three pieces for her new apartment:

Image 1: A rich teal, magenta, and plum composition with soft lacing throughout.

Image 6: A vibrant split-flow piece featuring cool blues and greens on top contrasted with warm burgundy and gold tones along the base.

Image 5: A striking high-contrast piece with dramatic splashes of deep red, coral, and pale sage against a solid black background.

Thank you to everyone who dropped guesses on the last post—it was so fun seeing what everyone picked out! I was shocked she picked Image 5 because it was the painting I had stressed over because so much of the green had dripped off while drying on the table!

Which of these three is your personal favorite?

Created this set recently and LOVE it. Thoughts? I can't decide if I will sell it or just use it in my home :)

My daughter requested a painting for her new apartment. She gave me the colors she wanted. I created all of these for her to choose from. She is coming for a visit Saturday (I can't wait! She lives several hours away and I haven't seen her since January). She will get to select whichever painting (or paintings) that she wants. Which do you think she'll take????

Another lesson learned! I was happy with my painting (Figure 1) and left iit on my LEVEL table to dry. The next morning so much of the green had dripped off the side and the painting now looked like Figure 2! I realized my mistake--too late! I had added some black to the center intending to slightly increase the negative space...but I added too much! Have any of you had something like this happen?
