A Sneak Peak…

In my post the other day I claimed to be hard at work in the studio and to prove it here are couple of images of new work in process. There are both in the new longer format that I have been playing with and boy is it fun! There was a third piece but that one sold the day after it was finished. These two are about 90% done. It is hard to guess, they are finished when they decided they are finished. The color palate definitely has me looking forward toward sunnier days. Maybe the last trip to Mexico has influenced my color choice as well.

Available Paintings

Between a wedding, honeymoon, new home decor, and life in general painting has taken a back burner for a bit. But I am back in action again. Keep checking in because I have a bunch of pieces in process and should be finishing all of them up soon. In the mean time I thought I would put together a post of the few pieces that I do still have left. Email me if you have any questions. Thanks for looking!

Some Like it Hot Up on the Wall

I have been mixing my work with some pieces in my collection lately. This is in our guest bedroom, which we recently finished, the wall color is Benjamin Moore “Summer Melon.” I have paired “Some Like it Hot” with two silk screen I recently purchased from Hero Design Studio. They are a husband and wife team from Buffalo, NY. I have purchased 3 pieces from them this year, and love them all. Check them out on ETSY here. These are two of their Test Prints, they even come in little frames, but I reframed them to match the room. Artwork should have conversations with one another, never be afraid to move pieces around you maybe shocked to find it takes on a new life in a different space and you fall in love with it all over again.

Here are individual images of each of the new pocket paintings. It was brought to my attention that it would be easier for people to pick their own grouping this way.

New Available Pocket Paintings

I have finished a bunch of new pocket paintings, enjoy. These are 4″x4″ and resin coated to make them shiny box little boxes. The last two batches flew out of the gallery, they are perfect gifts with the Holidays coming up! Here are some groups that I put together but you can mix and match your own group to match your room and the size of the space.

My Work in a Parade House

alethanoelle — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:21:13 +0000

Every time a painting sells you wonder where it goes, to what corner of someone’s home it hangs. I worked with my Aunt placing some paintings in one of her Parade Homes, wow is she good. I thought I would share a few pictures of the pieces staged.

This piece is called “Miami Style”. The colors look so good on these periwinkle walls. I love the contrast of the patterned bedspread with the forms in the painting. This piece is still available.

Here is a peek-a-boo of “Midwestern Modern.” This piece was hung in a shallow but long hallway. I love when you can look through doorways and get views of artwork. The slight pop of color really brings both spaces alive. This piece is 24″x24″ and is still available.

They are coming together

Here are a few more images of the pieces I am working on my more show. I have spent everyday this week painting like a made women. I keep finding paint in my hair, on my neck, on my shins….

This one is all finished, I think.... I am still working on the title

ALL FINISHED!!!

This is the piece from my last post. I changed the dark brown to a medium tone orange. I think it works much better. The dark brown was too dark and disconnected from the rest of the image.

Almost done

Here is the other piece from my last post, this one is almost done. I am just waiting from a little be more aqua to drip out of the jar, I hope I have enough to finish!

In process

For this show I was trying to make some quieter paintings, but I couldn’t help myself, the rich pink and red were just begging me to use them!

A Sneak Peak…

I have a show coming up at the Water Street Gallery in Saugatuck, MI. Here are a couple of pictures of some pieces I am working on. The show opens on July 18th and runs for a month.

Almost finished.... I think....

I am trying some “quieter” color pallets out. They are inspired by my home colors. Hopefully it will inspire some purchases too! I think this piece is almost finished, maybe a couple slight changes but nothing drastic. This second piece is in the very early stages, but I have it metally finished already.

The layers are forming

I have been busy….

A Palm Springs State of Mind 12"x12"

It is that time of year again in Saugatuck, benefit time. There are so many great organizations in our area and it is so great to be in a community that supports them all. The above piece, “A Palm Springs State of Mind” is a painting I just finished for the Saugatuck Center for The Arts benefit auction which is coming up in June. It will be part of a vacation package to Palm Springs, along with some other goodies. I love this painting, it is so California, the colors are so fun and bright!

A special request was made by MaryJo, my gallery owner. She wanted more Pocket Paintings. They went over very well this year, I only have 2 left from the first batch of like 40? I think. So I put my painting shoes on and buckled down and now there are 20 new pocket paintings. They are all going to Water Street Gallery in Saugatuck, MI.
