"RAVEN" ORIGINAL OIL ON 6"X4" TEXTURED PANEL © SAUNDRA LANE GALLOWAY

"Raven"
6"x4"
oil on textured panel
ON HOLD FOR SUMMER ART MARKET

Here's another little oil that I've done for SUMMER ART MARKET.  He can be sold as is, or in one of my frames I make.  FUN DOINS!

What I love about this guy is the circle of life that surrounds him.  Remember Ravens have symbolism surrounding them that are of wisdom; even good luck...they aren't the dark, death birds like we have come to believe from all those horror movies!  

I'm finished several new things...stay tuned for a new fun piece next!

HAPPY CREATING!

"WATER'S EDGE" ORIGINAL MIXED MEDIA ABSTRACT © SAUNDRA LANE GALLOWAY

"Water's Edge"
11"x11"; with matt 15"x15"
Framed: $325
ON HOLD FOR SUMMER ART MARKET

I have these rock walls in our neighborhood that have inspired me for YEARS!  It has always reminded me of my artist friend Carol Nelson's compositions, and I FINALLY decided to play with abstract again and paint some of what I see up here!  

I asked my husband to name this one...I wanted to see what he saw in this...FUN!  I
have mixed my paper with some glass beads that can be seen in the cracks below the "water's" edge...:)  I painted this using Golden Fluid acrylics. There is texture in this as well.  The board the painting is on is slightly lifted from the matt. The frame is an upcycled heavy plastic.  I hope I have time to do one more before JUNE 7&8; SUMMER ART MARKET!  I will be at space #167...hope to see you there!!


HAPPY CREATING!!

"Bear"
4"x6" oil and paper on textured canvas panel
$45 as is or $65 framed

This is the time of year I really stop posting paintings for sale on line, and just get ready for SUMMER ART MARKET.  Remember I will be booth #167 on June 7 & 8.  Saturday we stay open until 7 p.m.!  I hope to see you there!

As you can see I've added a bit of paper and letters to this little one.  His name became very obvious after I added the letters!

I'm enjoying making a few frames to go with some of these small paintings...This is my one idea for "Bear"!

"POPPY CHALKBOARD DOOR" ORIGINAL ACRYLIC ON 3 PANEL SOLID WOOD DOOR © SAUNDRA LANE GALLOWAY

"Poppy Chalkboard Door
80" x 18"  $350
Acrylic on 3 panel solid wood door
WILL BE SHOWCASED AT SAM IN DENVER

This is my second painted door.  I will be showcasing them at the SUMMER ART MARKET on June 7 & 8, 2014, so I hope you will be able to come by to see them in person!

This door was a definite work that morphed as time went along.  I started out with one style of poppy, and a bit too small, so I wiped the whole thing out and started over.  TWICE!  I finally settled on this colorful, stylized version of poppies with fun turquoise spent poppy pods as a fun contrast color.  I even found a fun turquoise knob to add to the mix!  The background of orange shows through the off white color that is painted over, and some slight distressing can be seen around the edges here and there.  A great, functional piece that would work in many decors!

A little crooked, but you get the idea on the top detail.  Orange and red are REALLY HARD to photograph for me...it is hard to see some color variations that are somewhat subtle in some of the flowers...











The middle section has the chalkboard in it with poppies and poppy pods gracing its edges.  The bottom of the chalkboard is apx 41" from the ground...












The bottom section has the three poppy pods gracefully spindling their way up to bring the whole thing to it's completion.

These doors are meant to lean against the floor.  Their heavy weight allows them to be a sturdy surface to write on.  HOWEVER, they could also be hung on the wall.

A FUN project, and a great bit of color and function for any home!



HAPPY CREATING!

"SPOT" THE COW ORIGINAL 4"X5" OIL FOR MY ETSY SHOP © SAUNDRA LANE GALLOWAY


I just HAD to do it...I just HAD to name one of my ETSY'S SPOT...seems appropriate for this bovine beauty!  Hair and all!! HA!

"Spot" - the Cow is a throw back to the days when cows were cows and men were men. OR, women were women if you please!  She comes with an optional heavy plastic frame; a style that seems to suit her just fine. Spot is perfect as is...in her 4"x5" shape and size. She can easily sit on an easel. OR, there is a frame option as shown...a cute vintage"esque" solid plastic frame. It can hang or sit on an easel as demonstrated! Spot will be ready to ship on May 13, 2014 when she is totally dry! 

 HAPPY CREATING!

"BABY SWALLOW" ORIGINAL ETSY MINI © SAUNDRA LANE GALLOWAY


This little one is has softly entered this world and is just waiting to go home and live with the bird lover in you! She is gentle and kind, so would be no trouble at all! "Baby Swallow" is painted in oil on a 4"x4" slightly textured panel. She can be framed as is (remember that a frame takes up 1/2" on all sides), or can sit on a small easel. OR, for .50 more I can mount her on a black or off white 5"x5" backer board so she can be framed in a 5x5" frame with all her sides showing! The frames shown are merely examples to show you how the backer board looks, but the black frame can be found at Michaels, and the off white one on ETSY at RUSTIC AND REFINED DESIGN! "Baby Swallow" will be ready to ship on May 5, 2014 when she is dry!


AND, though I didn't have to, it was bugging me that "Silver Girl" was STUCK in her frame for life!!...YES, I love the frame I put her in, but someone else may want her in something else...SO, instead of gluing the two frames together; thus trapping her in there, I did a little extra work and screwed them together, so she COULD be released if she ever wanted to be!

WHEW!  Now I feel better!!

HAPPY CREATING!!
