I spied these two little girls one day at the beach...

giggling, dashing and scampering after the waves. 

Racing back and forth, the game wore on...

and then sadly, the waves were gone.

Lake Powell Abstraction by Nancy Goldman

Lake Powell Abstraction
Image Size 15" x 22"
Mixed Media
Framed
$395.00

This was a fun painting project.  The background paper was painted with acrylic and collaged with rice paper.  Then watercolor pieces were sewn onto the paper to give glimpes of the canyon walls of Lake Powell.  The beauty of this painting really doesn't show well in a photo.  The dimensional aspects of it along with the gold thread holding the watercolor pieces onto the background make this painting very interesting.

DIGNITY BY SUSAN RODEN

DIGNITY
SUSAN RODEN
pastel
SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR

After the holidays, I begun to reminisce of people from my past. 

  Reflecting, I realize that life experiences have 
enriched me greatly in so many ways. 

Dignity is not only of a friend I lost touch with, 
but also a personal, favorite painting that went to another home.

Purple Figs

The color on this is not very close to the actual painting.  It is a dark painting and my camera and photoshop did not cooperate.  I'm going to try to finish up all of the unfinished paintings and projects in my studio this year.  This is the first old painting to be finished in 2012 so I'm off to a good start.  I'm tired of my studio always being messy and even when I clean it, it's still messy because I have so many things started and stored.

I haven't worked in oils much lately and I had a lot of fun with this.  I have many, many unfinished oil paintings so I'm looking forward to finishing them.

The rays blared in brilliant flashes.

Staccato, loud and grand... the illusion 
sparked similarity to a horn's blasts.

A grand way to herald in the new year!
