Stars and Stripes

 
"Stars and Stripes"
30" x  30" x 1 1/2, Oil on Gallery-wrapped Canvas
Available
 
 
Last week, just before Christmas, I had coffee with Texas Contemporary Abstract Artist, Deanna Kienast who paints huge huge abstracts.   I'd painted several of these "close up" of the American Flag but on a small scale, six by six inches and she suggested I try a larger version.  So here it is.
It is kind of hard to tell what size this is looking at this photo of painting because all of the background is cropped out.
 
 
But here is a photo of the work-in-progress painting sitting on my easel:
 

I'd just blocked in colors.  I actually like the blocked in colors, except that the starts are not quite right yet.
 
Here is a view of a detail of the finished painting.  There are a lot of unexpected colors in the flag - such as yellow and green:

Christmas Angel Painting

"Angel, Do you See?"
14" x  11", Oil on Cradled Board
Available at Ugallery
A couple of months ago Ugallery contacted the artists to take part in their Advent Calendar special pricing by painting a Christmas/Wintry scene to be offered everyday for the 24 days of Christmas.  Mine was featured yesterday.
 
The inspiration for this painting came from the carols "Hark, the Herald, Angels Sing". and "Do you See What I See?"   The angel in my painting is heralding the good news when she sees the bright star.
 

The other day I had left a foam sheet in my front room.  This foam is left over from shipping a large painting so I didn't have any use for it.  But when I went out for about 10 minutes, my puppy, Ruby thought she'd check it out...

 
When I came home and found the foam and asked Ruby and my current foster dog, Faith what happened to it they said they didn't know, but looked pretty guilty, if you ask me....
