Post 307: A Walk Along a Woodland Stream and Around the Corner

Painting Name: A Walk Along a Woodland Stream and Around the Corner

So far, some of my favorite landscapes to paint include water and water reflections. This painting of a woodland stream includes a few things you need to look for...maybe around the next corner...

SKU: 05AH23ACG

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 9x12 Stretched Canvas

Edition Year: 2023

What is the story about this painting?

The thought behind this painting is a hiker going on a nature walk and enjoying the sights and sounds surrounding him or her from every direction. The water flowing from the stream, the birds chirping, your own breathing as you follow the path. Although we might find along the way that we are alone - that can be temporary. Just around a corner or even just off the beaten path, a change, a variation, a surprise may be there.

The hiker strolls along the path, seemingly alone.

Yet, just around the corner, another hiker appears

But around another corner, there can always be something you didn't quite expect...

Art cannot always be seen from just face value, what do you think?

Post 282: I Miss Green on the Trees Already

I Miss Green on the Trees Already

Painting Name: To View a Tree

As November creeps by and the leaves lazily, if not determinedly, sashay toward the ground, leaving bony arms lifted skyward, I miss the green that was there not so long ago. 

SKU: 11FN22ACG

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 18x24 Gallery Wrapped Stretched Canvas

Edition Year: 2022

Prints Available Upon Request or on Etsy

What Brought About this Painting?

And I think, I don't have to miss the green on the trees, I can paint them.

Then comes the naming of a painting. I had a previous tree painting called "Just Look Up", and another called "Up in the Trees". Ok, been there, done that. Then comes to mind the poem by "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer...but can't use anything from that I think, although "Only God Can Create a Tree" is awesome. Alas, I settled on "To View a Tree".

"To View a Tree" is another play on "Just Look Up" as I do like that view. The painting is nearly done, hence, the blog post. Like it?

Post 194: Up in the Trees 11x14 Acrylic

Painting Name: Up in the Trees

I did another painting called "Just Look Up" earlier this year, so this makes the second of looking up at the trees paintings. 

SKU: 10ED21ACG

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 11x14 Gallery Wrapped Stretched Canvas

Edition Year: 2021

Framed?: No

Check availability and Prints on my Etsy Shop

SOLD

What Brought About this Painting?

It is something like the saying of "stop and smell the roses" to me, in that we should sometimes while walking, stop and look up at the trees. If you wear glasses, sometimes a safer thing to do if a bird happens to be directly overhead at the time, but usually the view of the looking up into the canopy of the trees overhead is a calming thing to me.

There is a small surprise somewhere in the painting, I'm wondering if you will see it. Leave a comment if you find it and what it is.

Painting Name: Just Look Up

See where the birds live, see where the squirrels run. See where the leaves are, see where the sun shines, just look up.

What Brought About this Painting?

Trees are just ONE of the MANY things in God's creation that are so interesting to paint. And looking up is another great view of one too. 

Just Look Up is to remember to look up - not just to see the beautiful tree trunk, leaves, and sky, but to remember to look up and say hello to God and remember who He is.

Painting in Progress Images…

Trees are just ONE of the MANY things in God's creation that are so interesting to paint. 

Monday, May 24 2021 6:09 PM - When I paint, I try to always paint the thing farthest away then layer everything else on top of it. Which means that the sun and the sky (then clouds if needed) are painted first, then the tree branches and then all the leaves. The tree trunk will get some detail now because I am not going to layer on top of it, but some of the branches will get hidden by all the leaves once I get to that point.

Tuesday, May 25, 2021 7:20 AM - Branches are filled in now the leaves...about six million of them, in various greens, yellow greens, olive green, dark green, an occasional orange/brown.

Tuesday, May 25, 2021 9:10 AM Leaves, more leaves, more and more leaves. Just think, someone may have to rake up those leaves in the fall...

Post 28: Isle of Palm Trees 10 x 20 Acrylic on Canvas

Painting Name: Isle of Palm Trees 

SKU: #11AD20AC

Medium: Acrylic Painting

Size: 10 x 20 Stretched Canvas

Price: $188.00 + shipping

Edition Year: 2020

Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/DonnaLiguriaArt

I think I have a theme going with painting seascapes, islands, tropical artwork. Corona virus continues around the world and I am thinking of sitting on an island with the fresh ocean breeze, the ocean doing its thing on the shore, me with toes in the sand.

More like holding a Corona too.

Alas, here I am, Thanksgiving and Black Friday, dreaming of those breezes and sand toes.

Post 3: Yes, Virginia there is a Pink Dogwood, 12 x 12 Acrylic

Title: Pink Dogwood

A Dogwood is - A Tree and a Flower 

SKU: 09C20AC

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 12 x 12 Stretched Canvas

Price: $73.00

Edition Year: 2020

White Dogwoods, Pink Dogwoods - is it a flower or a tree?

Remember the movie, "The American President" (1995) where Andrew Shepherd (Michael Douglas) begins courting Sydney Ellen Wade (Annette Bening) and there is a debate on dogwoods? They realize it's both the state flower AND tree. Anyway, he sends her a ham. 

Here is another recent painting, Pink Dogwood.
