"Yellow House" -Day 1

"Yellow House"  acrylic on paper    5"x7"

Did I mention that I would be participating in Leslie Saeta's 30 paintings in 30 days of September?

If not, I am and here is painting one.

Poor yellow house needs a swing in the tree and possible a picnic table too.

Also, I purchased some water soluble oil paint today, I'm going to give that medium a try for thirty days. Tomorrow will be Duo Aqua Oil on a surface of my choosing!

Stay tuned,
JanettMarie

"Yes, Sold!"

"Yes Sold!"    acrylic on paper    5"x7"

Couldn't help myself. The house yesterday sold, so I put a "sold" sign in the yard on this one.
Thanks Jessica!

715 Hope Street

A little yellow house on Hope Street

If this little yellow house had some flowers and a mailbox it would be perfect.
Hmm.... do another.

Have a nice weekend!

"Cousin's" - Hope I haven't forgotten how to post!

"Cousin's"   20 inches by 20 inches  acrylic on canvas

Hello friends! This painting has been sitting around awhile just waiting for the finishing touches. Last night or was it the night before.... it finally happened, so I will call this "Cousin's" and finished! "Cousin's" because they all originate from the same family of stems. They are all a little different and special in my heart.

This painting was a bit of experimenting, learning and just plain fun.
Have fun this weekend!

Stopped in Time or Time Moves On... -Sold

"Clock Tower"   acrylic on canvas,  8" by 6" by 1.5" deep

And the clock stopped at 8:15. Is that AM or PM? When exactly did the curse hit? Do I need to go back and watch it all again?

This is the clock tower in Storybrooke and one of the Evil Queen's apples.  : )  At least in my little mind...

An apple a day....

"Who's House"

"Who's House"   6" by 8"  acrylic on canvas

Sometime's ya just gotta paint.... so I did. Was fun.

I've been watching that crazy night time drama "Once Upon A Time" and this may be someone's little cottage. I just don't know who!

Thanks for watching!
-JanettMarie

"Sunday Sorbet"

24" by 8" mixed media on canvas

Tall, narrow and very high-key. There is glitter, metal, graphite and acrylic in this painting.

This was a tough one for me to keep light as I tend to get pretty bold with my color. I slapped that cherry in there with some bright red to satisfy that need of mine, hee, hee.

I think I'm hungry for ice cream now, gelato or maybe sorbet!

Have a lovely day,

-JanettMarie

"Three Cheers!"

"Three Cheers!"   mixed media on canvas   14" by 18"

Finished? I think it is, I think it is......
Seventeen....? That last painting was not a martini, was it? Well, it could be a martini in a wine glass. Yes, I believe that is it!

Enjoy your martini's, everyday is a celebration!

-JanettMarie

Continuing on... 16- Little Wine

"Little Wine"   acrylic on canvas   3" by 2"  -Sold

It's a tiny little piece, but a painting none the less.

Sometimes just the right amount of paint can make just the right painting.

Just my opinion.

Enjoy good wine,
JanettMarie

Happy October!! Booooo....Screech...

15 paintings in 30 days..... 

Better than last September! Yes, as I recall, I either didn't event do the challenge last September or I may have signed up and still didn't do it! Yaaa haa haa haaaaaa, finally I've done 50%! Does this make it a 500% improvement over last year? I'm not sure but I like it!  Wow, I'm having a great day! I hope you are too.  : )

"Fifteen in Fifteen" Gin Martini

"Fifteen in Fifteen"  acrylic on paper  7.5" x 5.5"

Yes, I made this with gin for Leigh, it was Sunday after all. Mmmm, it does have a different flavor.

Not sure if you can tell, but this is another "warm" painting, or pigments that lean toward red.

I may not get all 30 paintings finished in the allotted 30 days, but I am having fun that's for sure!

Have a great day!
