Maprox Abstract

Sunflower Trio

This was the demo piece I did for my class today showing how they could make their own collage papers and use them in a painting.
Several of the petals and the pot in this painting are from a recycled paperback book.

There are almost 50 individual petals on these sunflowers - each one torn by hand from my supply of painted papers.  Since I use professional grade Golden Fluid Acrylics to paint the papers, I am confident they will retain their vibrant colors.

Perpetual Motion

A triptych always says more than a solitary painting.  This group of  three is a vibrant, boisterous celebration of colors and textures.
All three pieces are sold together as a triptych.

If something looks vaguely familiar, it's because I posted the first one of this group a couple weeks ago.  Remember this one that I was lukewarm about?


I wasn't really happy with this painting, even though some of you had very encouraging things to say about it.  You can see the revised version is on the right side of the triptych.  I jazzed up the color a LOT.

My husband - ever the critic - when asked what he thought would be a good name for this painting, said "Yuk, Yuk, and Yuk."  I laughed because I KNEW he would not like this one.  Ha ha.  He doesn't like abstracts, as you might have guessed.

THis is the second in my Gemstone series.  It is a vibrantly colored mini abstract.  For more information, click here to go to my website.

All That Jazz

This is another of my mini abstracts featuring a section of a foam plate palette remnant.   Since the central square is color left on my palette, it often leads to unusual color combinations.

There's a touch of pink that is a mystery because I don't know where it came from.  I am not a fan of pink, but it works in this composition.
