"CHIQUITA" ORIGINAL 4"X4" OIL ON PANEL © SAUNDRA LANE GALLOWAY

"Chiquita"

4"x4" oil on panel

FOR MY BROTHER DAVID

 

My incredible, wonderful brother David and I have a great relationship. We LOVE to joke and tease one another with tonz o' love...and that's how this Christmas present to him came about. This is a photo of he and his beautiful wife Terri.  I love Terri too...soooo much!  She has been a part of this family long enough that I think of her as my beloved sister.  David and Terri have this awesome relationship.  Even though they've been married a long time they still refer to each other as bride and groom!  A great example of a married couple for sure!

 

Anyhoo...so, I have been painting for my ETSY shop as you know...at first I did a lot of fruit...and one day on facebook after seeing my latest fruit or veggie he said "Where are the bananas?" or some such phrase...WELL, "be careful what you ask for my bro, cuz you may just get it"...and, that is how this painting came about.

 

At first I played around with photos I had grabbed from the web...even painted one...it was YUCK!...SO, not to be deterred, I went to the store, BOUGHT bananas, had a photo session, and voila'!  And, before you ask...NO, I did NOT paint the sticker...what???...NO WAY!  For an artist who likes to paint quickly and HATES to do lettering I just printed a photo and cut out the "sticker" and stuck it on there!!  WHY do we think we can't do things like that???  I don't...obviously...and, IT WORKS!  It is now officially a collage...and I'm proud to say it!! tee hee!

 

So...shhhh...don't tell him about his present...He is the only one that is banned from seeing this post...

 

OK, now, back to the easel...maybe I'll paint some more nannas!! 

 

HAPPY CREATING!!

 



STUDIO SALE "THREE PEARS" ORIGINAL ACRYLIC ON CANVAS; FRAMED © SAUNDRA LANE GALLOWAY

"Three Pears"

16" x 20" acrylic on framed canvas

$100 +20 shipping in the US

 

Believe it or not this is one of my favorite paintings. Back when I was exploring acrylics I studied under a wonderful oil painter; Kathy Berls (Lakewood Arts Council). Even though I was playing with acrylic I wanted to learn more and she was the best one to do it under!  Painting with acrylics is a wonderful way to work quickly; have them dry quickly, and so I painted like an oil painter only with acrylics. It is HARDER to get good blending, but a great challenge to get better over-all.  I think about this painting the light on the edges of the pears just makes it glow.  I've kept this in my house for awhile because I loved its freshness...BUT, I need to make room, so I'm finally ready to let it go. 

 

"Three Pears" is framed in a contrast grey metal frame...and ready to hang!  Click on the title for purchase page on my website STUDIO SALE category if you need it in your house.

 

I don't know what it is, but lately I'm getting comments merely for the sake of promotion to others' sites...I think it is important to re-state the etiquette rules for bloggers...MOST of us who have been doing it awhile know this already, but it is kind of a no no for blogging...kind of rude, like asking a person their age, or walking into a house without knocking.  Anyway, that's how I see it...I would never do it to anyone else, so it kind of grinds on me to have others do it on this site...so, please pass around those rules for good manners on blogging if you have had this happen...PLUS, I now think I will have to edit my comments before posting again...sigh...

 

HOWEVER, for those who read my bits and pieces from time to time and care to take the time to wade through that awful word/number thingy to comment...I THANK YOU!!  You all rock!!

 

HAPPY CREATING! 



"STRAWBERRY" ORIGINAL MIXED MEDIA MINI OF A STRAWBERRY © SAUNDRA LANE GALLOWAY

"Strawberry"

4"x4" mixed media on gallery wrap canvas

$45 includes shipping in the US

Another little bitty just for fun...this little strawberry makes me think of summer...which I am SO ready for!  I think of this as a shabby chic kind of piece...probably because I've sort of let the background paper show through...and the doily is a coffee filter...either way...a fun little one!

HAPPY CREATING!
