These flowers were actually part of a larger painting I did a couple of months ago.  It just seemed there was too much negative space for my taste, SO, as artists will do if something is before them too long...I made it BETTER!  This fun little triptych can be hung in a variety of ways...makes for more versatility for your wall space.  Here is the original painting...don't you just LOVE the change? HA...well, I'm sorry if you don't, cuz I do, and well, that one is now THIS one!  FUN DOINS!

 ORIGINAL VERSION

just too boring for me!

This one is 10"x8" canvas attached to bass wood cradled panel and painted off white around sides.

I call this section the "Orchid Face" 

8"x8" canvas attached to cradled panel and painted in the off white around

This section I call "Half and Half"

8"x8" canvas attached to cradled panel and painted like the other two

side view.  The cradle is just under 1" deep.  Wire is attached to each painting for easy hanging.

Somehow I don't think this will last long...or, it could just be I love this one so!!

HAPPY CREATING!

I haven't decided on a name for this triptych of a Colorado mountain range yet, but I like the way it came out! The gold you see is gold leaf. The only painted area is the sky, the rest is a combination of papers. If you remember the inspiration for this came from the back of my bathroom door.....(sorry for the glare) I'm showing it here because I'm laughing at how it morphed from inspiration to completion. I STILL want to do a series of trees with the shapes you see...if you can see...but as this piece came together it spoke of a different life, so I gave it one!

I became intrigued at how there are so many layers to the view I have seen so often from my own windows I wanted to emphasize that fact...so perhaps my name should reflect that...hmmmm...giving it some thought!

FUN PICS and personal INSPIRATION moment

Triptych in process...where it goes no body knows!! YEA!!

I've been able to do a bit on my triptych...It is coming a bit slow as I've totally changed my mind about the sky, so I'm in process of working on it. You can see a few layers of paper I have started to add on the left panel; which is the first one...I'm excited to see this unfold as I have NO IDEA as to where I will take it from here...but wanted to bring you along this little journey a few steps at a time!!

It was C O L D this morning up here in the mountains, and doubly so in the shade. I drove to a spot where there were some old dilapidated buildings and aspen hoping for some sun for shadows and hit the jackpot! Got tons of pics, but had a little added bonus of the doorways and windows along with the aspen. Thought I'd share a bit of that. Got a kick out of the keep out sign right there by some aspen...Like they could keep my minds eye out of there! HA. So, happy with my new reference material!!

Love that red in the windows...Gotta love that inspiration!!

My husband has had a dream for years of buying these buildings and turning them into a camp or something...I'm thinkin it will take a bit of work!! HA But, love that doorway for composition sake!!

Keep out my eye!! HA...(but I did take the pic from the outside of the fence...)

HAPPY CREATING!!
