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!
-JanettMarie

Cool and Warm Martini's

"Cool Martini"  acrylic on paper  7.5" x 5.5" (I think)

"A Warm Time of Day"  acrylic on paper  7.5" x 5.5" (I think)

The "Cool Martini" painting was done with hansa yellow, alizarin crimson, phthalo blue  and white.

The second painting I used cad yellow medium, cad red medium, ultramarine blue and white.

It was my little exercise today to remind me what I can do with a limited palette and the feeling I can portray with just a few colors! 

Fun, fun, fun. I'm counting these as numbers 13 and Fourteen.

"Always remember to smile."

Two More Martini Paintings

"Magical Eleven"  16" by 8", mixed media on canvas -SOLD

"Crazy Martini"  13" by 7", mixed media on yupo paper

A couple of crazy martini paintings here. The bottom painting is on "yupo paper", a plastic surface. My artist buddy Martha Vaught gave a piece of this to me to try and I pushed it pretty hard. I did manage to cause a chunk of paper to rip away, but I just painted back over it!

Detail: Where I ripped a chunk out by accident... oops...

Have a great day!

-JanettMarie

Time Seems to be FLYING!

"Number Nine"  mixed media  9" by 8" SOLD!

"Too Much"   mixed media  9" by 8"

Wow, here we are it's Friday again. I love Fridays, do you?

Paintings number 9 and 10, that makes me one third of the way to 30. Can she do it, can she do it.....

Enjoy your day!

-JanettMarie

I know, I know, today is the 12th day, but...

"Martini Night"  mixed media on paper  9" by 8"  

"Limitless Martini"  mixed media on paper  9" by 8"

Here are numbers 7 and 8...
And ... ummmm, I have 9 and 10 finished but I didn't get them photographed. I'll definitely update you later next week!

Is it a full moon? Nope.... it's a new moon! On to new paintings!

-JanettMarie

Number 6 - As Myra would say.....

"Put Some Liquor In It"   mixed media on paper   9" by 8"

Yes, as Myra told me earlier, "Put Some Liquor In It"!

I want to thank Myra, Martine and Jarrod for stopping by with your comments. They really are helpful and keep me on task. Who knew?

Today driving to the studio I was wondering to myself, "What are some of the reasons people drink?" Then I saw a poor kitty that had been hit by a car and thought... that could make someone want to drink, loosing their kitty... but then people drink to celebrate things too, like having a new grand baby... right?

Have a great weekend!
-JanettMarie

Number Five, on Day Ten

"A Blue One"   mixed media on paper   9" by 8"

This is martini painting number 5. It's on a thin paper so it's a little wrinkly. I plan on mounting this to a better support, I'm hoping it will flatten out nicely because I have five more on the same material.

Have a great day!
