STUDIO SALE!! ONLY $150 + $20 shipping in the US
click on the title to take you to the purchase page!!

This is what I'm calling a Shabby Chic painting. I attached canvas to the gallery wrap canvas...I added brads here and there...and then painted right on top...In this work I still work with my subject matter but work accordingly. I encourage you to enlarge this piece so you can see the areas where I'm calling "shabby" or check out the detail photos below...just a new way to play! This work is comprised of bits and pieces of Colorado landscape scenery all put together in one cohesive piece! This mixed media piece has acrylic, modeling paste for added texture, oil (for most of the bottom of the painting), brads, and acid free paper. FOR THE HOLIDAYS I'M PUTTING THIS IN MY STUDIO SALE...SO FOR THIS PERIOD OF TIME IT WILL BE AT A GREATLY REDUCED PRICE!!

You have to look hard within the rocks to see the added canvas pieces, frayed around...

NOTE: the FUN texture and the added canvas with little brads at the corners...

The sides are painted around but kept soft

just a tad of detail on the sides...in keeping with the shabby chic feel

see the freyed canvas with brads attached...FUN DOINS!

Some have asked why I am putting pieces up at such reduced prices. My answer is three fold...Number ONE, I want to be respectful of those, like me who have been hit with the economy and give gift choices that are affordable! AND TWO, I am becoming dismayed at how our world is sometimes making art that seems only the rich can afford...that BUGS ME...I LOVE the process of my art...I have FUN painting...but I never want to be too big for my britches...:) and THIRD...well, I need to clear out my studio to make room for MORE PROCESS, MORE PAINTINGS...FUN, FUN, FUN!!

SO...that being said...stay inspired, be tickled with what you see in this world, and

HAPPY CREATING!!

Vos rochers sont extraordinaires et j'aime toutes leurs nuances de couleurs qui créent des volumes superbes qui jouent avec le reste de votre paysage.
Belle peinture.
