Abstract painting done on 20x16 textured stretched canvas.  This painting was not planned.  After two underpaintings I pulled out my palette knife & started my sculpting technique.  This is when the two lovers appeared, so I went with it and focused the painting around them.  Lots of hot reds and oranges.  Purchase Info Here!, or visit my BLOG:  Donna Holdsworth Contemporary Art.  Thank you!

This acrylic painting is done on 14x12 watercolor paper.  I painted it about three weeks ago when the daffodils were just starting to bloom.  It was an experimental painting and I put it aside.  I stumbled upon it today and decided to post it.  I am working on two other pieces that are just not working for me.  Sometimes you just cannot transfer the ideas to canvas!

As you've probably noticed, I've been into the floral thing lately.  I guess it's just the season for it! This painting is done on 14x11 textured stretched canvas.  Acrylics, texture mediums and metallics applied with both brush and palette knife.  Tried to loosen up on this one and paint a little more abstractly.  I think I'm going to enter this in an upcoming exhibit next month.Purchase Info Here, or  visit my BLOG:  Donna Holdsworth Contemporary Art.   Thank you!

This painting is done on 14x11 textured stretched canvas.  Many layers of acrylic, textures, glazes and metalics.  I loved the underpainting on this one.  It was a beautiful manderine orage color with a salt technique, but I could just not make it work as a whole painting.  I ended up having to paint over it, but was able to salvage some by scraping around the silk cloth.  Sides painted black.  UV Matte finish to "de-glare" the metalics.  My version of some white daffs I pass by on my morning walks.  View Auction Here, or visit my BLOG:  Donna Holdsworth Contemporary Art.  Thank you!

This painting is done on 14x11 textured stretched canvas.  It morphed so many times I can't even begin to explain it.  After many layers of acrylics, glazes, gels and collage it ended up here.  Reminded me of a constellation, so I named it Orion.   I named the moths after Orions two brightest stars:  Rigal and Betelgeuse (don't say that 3 times)!!:)  Sides painted black.  Decided to exhibit this one in an upcoming show. Purchase Info Here!, or visit my BLOG:  Donna Holdsworth Contemporary Art.  Thank you!

This painting is done on 14x11 textured stretched canvas.  Multiple acrylic glazes (I stopped counting after 7!) and washes add depth.  Texture compound and gel used too.  For the robins egg I used egg shell, gel and gloss medium.  I tried using string gel for the nest, but that was a fiasco so I used gel instead. Sides painted rich expresso for an unframed presentation.  UV satin finish, except for the focal area where I used gloss.  Purchase Info Here, or visit my BLOG:  Donna Holdsworth Contemporary Art.  Thank you!
