Tulips by moonlight

The next in the Tulip series of ACEOs is number three.   Sometimes the sun can play tricks on what we see. In this case the petals appear to be silver like.  Or, was this a moonlit tulip during a wintery cold but clear full moon?

Tulip Series #3

Spring is in the Air ….

It’s 1 February!!  Where has January slipped to?  However, with the sun shining I look out of my window and find I have crocuses trying to stretch their necks whilst the daffodils are starting to get ready for their show!

Meanwhile, here is another ACEO in my Tulip series ….

Tulip Series # 2

After a cold winter what can be more joyous than the sight of spring flowers erupting in your garden? The winds might still blow but these hardy tulips are made of stern stuff!
Here we have number two in my Tulip series. With a delicate pinky red hue you can actually imagine those cold winds whipping through the petals.

Autumn Fungi – original encaustic

Well, I have gone and done it!  Yes, I have listed as for sale this painting entitled Autumn Fungi in my Artfire shop.

I decided to include the picture showing how I got my inspiration for this subject matter.

Inspiration!

Result!

ACEO Series - Tulips

Since, like so many others, I am getting tired of the cold of winter I thought I would turn my attentions to the garden.  Amazingly, several of my plants are showing signs of life.  Many have buds and my Mountain Ash (Rowan Tree) even has a couple of leaves starting to unfurl!

This brings me nicely to my latest ACEO entitled ‘Mauve Tulip’ series.  I thought I might do a series so do watch out for the next instalment!

A Lunar Landscape…

Scientists talk about sending man to the moon but supposing there is some form of life as we know it already?
Imagine, giants and ghosts living in their very own castles in a lunar landscape? I am sure some of our well known giants from fairy tales of long ago would fit into this description!

I listed this ACEO in my Etsy shop entitled Lunar Castles.

An English Autumn Scene

I am slowly returning after the Christmas/New Year celebrations when I was totally laid up with flu!  Great!

Then as I was getting over that, I got another cold.  Now, over all that and trying very hard to get on with everything again.

And so, my friends, I have listed this encaustic painting in my artfire shop entitled ‘An English Autumn Scene’.

Autumn always incorporates some of my favourite colours, so warm and bright as nature gives a final blast before she beds down for the cold winter.

You may remember that this was actually one of my entries into the First Annual Autumn Arts Painting Challenge and Competition on Facebook.

Hopefully, this will be the start of my muse coming to work again!

I will be back!

Yes, yes, I know I have been absent but I have been painting for the FB competition, been on vacation in US, busy with day to day business - those are my excuses, but, I will be back!

Just give me a couple of days and I will show you what I have been up to!
