Fine Art Paintings
Landscape
"Cacti
Blooms"
"Cacti Blooms"
30" x 40"
$3,250.00
Acrylic Painting
on canvas
I think cactus would
qualify as a landscape. What do you think ?
Make no mistake, cacti
spines will stick !! The beauty of the blossoms make up for that
though. There was a bee buzzing in the large yellow blossom, I
quietly took my photo and left !! This acrylic painting on canvas
is large, 30"x40", framed it could exceed 40"x
50".
For your information:Acrylic
paint has been around about 50 years and is considered permanent.
The paint is high quality, in tubes, not jars like craft acrylics
come in.
Acrylic paint may be used to look like a watercolor painting on
paper or like an oil painting on canvas, as I have done here with
"Cacti Blooms". Sometimes it is very difficult to tell
the difference between my acrylic paintings and the oil paintings.

"Cacti &
Weeds"
The linear pattern of the weeds make for
great contrast between the large pulpy cacti pads. This watercolor
painting was done with watercolor paint and not acrylic paint. As
I said earlier, acrylic paint can be used just like watercolor.
Did you know that, oil paint, can be thinned
to look like a watercolor painting also? While most oil painting is
done on primed canvas, it can be applied to sealed watercolor paper.
No matter what the medium is, painting is just plain fun!!

FYI:Have
you ever wondered why art is categorized as "fine art"?
Looking at some fine art paintings, you wonder how they can be termed
"fine art".
"Fine" is not an adjective describing the word, art. Used
with the word art, it is a noun. The whole phrase "fine art"
is a noun and describes works done for beauty's sake only.
A
painting is not functional. It exists solely to look at. This term,"fine
art", is applied mostly, to non-functional works of art.
Pottery and sometimes, sculpture, is not considered "fine art".
Pottery is definately functional and is not allowed in some exhibits
featuring only fine art. Sculpture is non-functional but sometimes
is not considered fine art.
Usually,
and there are always exceptions, a "fine art" show will
feature oil paintings, watercolor paintings and acrylic paintings.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
The paintings are in water media,
poured inks, acrylics,oils and watercolors and were executed on acid
free, 100% rag paper and primed canvas. The use of bold, vibrant color,
good design and composition makes for very dynamic paintings.
These works of art are nicely framed,
but may be purchased without the frames. The price remains the same
however: I am selling the art work and not the framing. Of course,
the shipping is much less unframed.
