Work in Progress - Acrylic Panting

Yes, I know three posts in one day is a bit much but what can I tell you. Since being unemployed I have too much time on my hands and yet I have no time.

Here is a picture of the work in progress for today. I opted to do a rather large acrylic painting, 10"x13". Well, that is large for me when working in acrylic, if we were talking oils...actually, I would never do an oil that small. I am excited to work on it more tomorrow and then to post the finished piece.

Be prepared to see more acrylic pieces.

Artist Statement

My work is a celebration of nature and women, specifically woman as mother. The female figure is a powerful one and dominates most of my works. Even the pieces reflecting trees are a tribute to the power of women signifying Mother Nature. Both are strong and feed my creative energy.

The pieces are abstract in design with a focus on form, movement and color. This is infused into my work, no matter what medium is used. The favored mediums are acrylic, pastel and oil. Each gives a different outcome and dimension to the piece. Pastels give a soft feel while acrylics give a strong, vibrant feel and oils allow for texture and movement.

The creative process remains the same regardless of the medium used or the subject matter chosen. Each piece starts out as a sketch that has been inspired by nature or life. It is developed and fine tuned before it is recreated in color.
