Fun New Paintings

Posted by sharonm on

I’ve been having a lot of fun with some of my newest paintings. My mind is whirling with new images to paint. These two recent paintings, both acrylics on paper, were so much fun and the colors attest to it.

The top painting is titled Options. It’s acrylic on paper, 19×24. It reflects how sometimes our options in life are conflicting.

The second painting, titled Summertime, is reminiscent of the fun days of summer. It’s also acrylic on paper, 19×24.

Livin the Life

This new abstract painting titled Livin the Life signifies the fun and excitement one can experience if they are open to new adventures on the path of life. Painted with acrylics on 19×24″ paper.

I love the colors and movement in this new painting. Since I have been away from my studio for the past week helping my eldest son pack up his house for a move, I have missed not being in the studio. There is a part of me that needs to create on a daily basis, so I haven’t been getting my creative fix lately.

Today, I sent in a preliminary application to the Harpo Foundation, in hopes of getting some grant money this year. Hopefully, I will be able to keep painting on a continuous basis, so that I can get into some good gallery exhibitions.

My plans for an exciting new body of work are taking shape, exciting new abstracts, so sometime in the near future I will share the plan with you.

It’s quite amazing how many different styles of abstract paintings are created each and every day. But when you think about the mindset of the artist, perhaps it’s not so amazing after all. I do find that mood and weather … sunny day, gloomy day … all play a part in what you, as an artist, end up painting.

for, example, this painting on paper, which I titled HopScotch, was off the board different when I painted it … from what I was currently painting. I’m not sure I can really explain it, but sometimes your hand just takes over.

Adrift

One of my newest paintings on paper symbolizes the relationships of people who are adrift in their lives in a harbor surrounded by friends and family. Perhaps all they need to do is look around to find support and happiness.
