Maprox Abstract

Tree Party

I had fun painting this one because I just threw caution to the wind and used whatever colors I felt like.

Never seen red, turquoise, or purple trees? No problem in my world.

This painting was a demo for my experimental acrylics class.  Sometimes it's hard to create "on demand" in a class or workshop.  My effort in class was not satisfactory to me.

The next day, home in my studio, I could see the problem more clearly.  I tore off the large corrugated paper tree that WAS on the right side and replaced it with a lighter weight paper and added more trees in the foreground.

Summer Glade

This is another in my forest series, using different styles of paper and burlap for textural effects.  I am happy for this color palette which is a change from my usual warm palette.  The several shades of green, turquoise and lavender are really refreshing.

This painting is for sale, but I cannot deliver it until 5/4/2012.  I am using it to advertise a mixed media tree workshop in May at Judy Patti's Studio in Littleton, CO.  Workshop details will be available soon on my website.
