What Brought About this Painting?

I like painting 'local to me' places and things here in the great state of Virginia. One of the most historical of all places and houses in Virginia, is Mount Vernon in Alexandria. When I was in elementary school, Bucknell Elementary in Alexandria, Mount Vernon was a field trip spot. It has changed a lot over the years; the museum itself is incredible, but to lean on the mantel in George Washington's dining room is so cool.

What Brought About this Painting?

I painted a couple of golf ball paintings last year, and they sold, thankfully. So I'm going into 2022 with another golf ball painting at the edge of the hole, called "So Close". 

I also have a soccer and a football painting of the same size available.

Post 238: Partly Cloudy

Painting Name: Partly Cloudy

Big blue sky and some big puffy clouds are a whole lot more than blue, black and white. Offhand, I'd say I used at least six different colors in this painting and one of them was NOT black.

SKU: 

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 12x12 Gallery Wrapped Stretched Canvas

Edition Year: 2022

Framed?: No

What Brought About this Painting?

Actually it was the trying to NOT use the color black in a painting at all. Clouds made the perfect subject. Sure there are gray clouds which make you think to blend black and white, but that is not how I painted them.

I used blue, purple, white, yellow, red, and burnt sienna.

Post 237: Bourbon and Cigar In Progress and Completed

Painting Name: Bourbon and Cigar

Very often an idea for a painting is hoovering in your brain waiting for its turn to be released to canvas. I've found it is a GREAT idea to write down those ideas so that they don't get lost. Especially if I think the painting might appeal to a potential client. 

SKU: 01J22ACG

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 9x12 Stretched Canvas

Price: SOLD

Edition Year: 2022

Framed?: No

What Brought About this Painting?

An idea of what might appeal to someone...what's more relaxing than a glass of a good bourbon, a cigar and a newspaper? To someone, this is it. To another, it could be a bubble bath. But that's another painting. Watch the progress of the painting below.

Sunday, January 16, 2022 12:20 PM It is supposed to start sleeting any time now - it is 23 degrees out so I'm thinking snow first. We shall see.

What do you think so far? A long way to go as yet though.

And YES, a few minutes later - 12:28 PM, the first flakes of snow lazily drift by the window.

Sunday, January 16, 2022 2:35 PM Hot off the presses, read all about it!

Sunday, January 16, 2022 4:05 PM Snow!! Ugh...

Monday, January 17, 2022 11:35 AM I think I am done now. Let me know if you like it!

If you look up what the most popular themed paintings are, guess what you will find? Traditional landscapes seem to top the list although local scenes seems to trend better.

See https://feltmagnet.com/crafts/popular-art-that-sells for some info on trends.

With that being said, I like painting landscapes and it felt time to get another one on canvas.
