"Dragonfly in Purple and Green"

4"x4" oil on textured panel

$30 

Available in my ETSY shop

I just can't seem to let the dragonfly thing go, so another little winged creature for my ETSY shop! 

H

As always, I offer this painting with a choice of black or off white 5x5" backer boards in case anyone wants to frame them with all their sides showing!  I've been scouting the thrift stores for more frames I can re-purpose, but they have been in short supply of late, so I keep a lookin!

A little later this morning I will be leaving for my little growing family in Nebraska for a visit.  As announced the coming baby is a GIRL, and she will be arriving in early March, so there are rooms to paint (of course Paxton needs a new wall color too!), and little dresses and such to buy...and maybe an outfit for my pretty daughter!  SO, OFF TO FUN TIMES! 

HAPPY CREATING!!

"HUMMINGBIRD" ORIGINAL OIL ON TEXTURED PANEL; 3X5" © SAUNDRA LANE GALLOWAY

 "Hummingbird"

 3x5" oil on textured panel

Available through Luna's Mandala

This little girl is only available through Luna's Mandala; my gallery in Conifer.  The new thing this year is for work I create specifically FOR THE GALLERY, I will only have available through the gallery.  It became quite the funny life when I would put something at Luna's and in ETSY and it would sell through ETSY, so I would trek back up the mountain to get it.  My friend and gallery owner was always so very gracious, but it never seemed right, so this is easier and nicer for all!

This was a requested painting by Luna, as apparently, hummingbirds are a big thing up here...so, I obliged.  I enjoy painting something I've not painted before...and here she is!

framed and all...:)

Of course, I try to make everyone happy, so if anyone just loved her, I could paint her again.  Keep in mind there is NO PAINTING IN MY WORLD THAT IS EXACTLY THE SAME, but I can get pretty close!  All one has to do is ask!

HAPPY CREATING!

"DRAGONFLY IN GREEN AND BLUE" ORIGINAL OIL ON TEXTURED 4X4" PANEL © SAUNDRA LANE GALLOWAY

"Dragonfly in Blue and Green"

4x4" oil on textured panel

Available in my ETSY shop

This light and airy little dragonfly is a symbol for change and light; a perfect combination for any decor! The background is a soft tanish with blue highlights. You can purchase her as is and sit her on a small easel, or you can frame her in your favorite 4" x 4" frame (keep in mind the frames take 1/2" on all sides), or for just .50 I can mount her on a black or off white 5"x5" backer board so you can frame her in your favorite 5"x5" frame with all the sides showing! The two examples shown are not for sale, but you can find the black frame at Michaels, and the off white frame on ETSY at Rustic and Refined Design! "Dragonfly in Green and Blue" will be ready to ship on or about November 1, 2014 when she is totally dry! 

I also just finished a fun piece of furniture that went to my gallery in Westminster; the Aar River Gallery.  I'm thinking I'm hooked on dragonflies of late! 

Painted in a beautiful light shade of sage (I consider a neutral), with some paper and palm leaves to boot, this fun piece was a joy to paint!

HAPPY CREATING!

"BUTTERFLY IN BLUE" ORIGINAL OIL ON TEXTURED 5X7 PANEL © SAUNDRA LANE GALLOWAY

"Butterfly in Blue"

7x5" oil on textured panel; framed

$85

I've had some specific requests lately...dragonflies, and hummingbirds.  I THOUGHT Luna had requested a butterfly, but I heard her wrong! HA!...but, she graciously added this little one into the gallery anyway.  My goal with this was to keep it simple...no accurate depictions for me on butterflies...close up they are kinda scary! LOL

It has been a really different type of life here at the Galloway's of late.  My most wonderful son has been getting settled in and a JOB...he's been busy too.  As wonderful as it is, it takes a bit to readjust lives and patterns of living, and that is exactly what I have been doing.  My work is so very important to me...so I have been painting and creating in my spare moments.  

One of my projects was to up-cycle jeans for Luna's Mandala in Conifer.  Yep folks, they are back...how many of you remember these!!

 

AND...of course, more bitty canvas baskets for Luna's Mandala.  She requested some very specific ones for the lovely tourists who may find there way to the gallery!

And NOW, some very sweet and happy news!  My sweet daughter and son in law and Paxton are going to have a sweet LITTLE GIRL about March 8!  We just found out...but keep it a secret as she hasn't announced it's a girl yet on facebook!!  FUN DOINS!

BUSY DAYS...BUT HAPPY DAYS...

HAPPY CREATING!

"DRAGONFLY II" ORIGINAL OIL MINI AT LUNA'S MANDALA © SAUNDRA LANE GALLOWAY

"Dragonfly II"

oil on textured 4"x4" panel (1/2" thick)

$45

Available at Luna's Mandala

I enjoyed painting the first dragonfly for Luna's Mandala that I just had to do another one.  I try to keep my work as affordable as I can.  This was a request from Luna herself, so it can only be found at the gallery up in Conifer Colorado!  This little girl sits on her own easel!  However, there are slots on the back for hanging if that is the choice! 

HAPPY CREATING!

"Dragonfly"

7"x5" oil on textured panel; Framed as shown

$85

Available at Luna's Mandala

It's been busy days here at the studio and home...My wonderful son has settled in somewhat; however is suffering from altitude sickness at the moment.  I FINALLY had a moment to sit down at my easel and paint something requested of me for my gallery at Luna's Mandala here in Conifer.  She will sit at the gallery for a couple of weeks and then I will put her in ETSY.  Anyone who is interested in purchase before then can contact me at art4life44@hotmail.com.

As always I painted "Dragonfly" on a slightly textured panel in oil.  There is a little charcoal peeking through here and there...FUN DOINS!

I've put her in this recycled, handmade frame.  I'd say the colors show most accurately in this frame...there is a tiny hint of the green in the background with a splash of blue at bottom.

HAPPY CREATING!!
