Visits to Mexico

Visits to Mexico

Included in this collection are both watercolors and acrylic paintings painted after being inspired by visits to Mexico (primarily San Miguel de Allende, in the state of Guanajauto. San Miguel (SMA) is in a high desert mountain area north of Mexico City. I would fly into Leon, MX and take a shuttle to SMA where they would drop me off at my sister's door step. I visited during El Dia de Los Muertos and La Virgen de Guadalupe holidays, plus other wonderful colonial days.
Landscapes/Trees

Landscapes/Trees

Trees, trees, trees...I am enamoured with trees. I have been sketching, painting, admiring and hugging trees for many years.
Extrusions

Extrusions

It is always fun and adventurous when I paint an extrusion. They are made with a matte medium as a drawing tool in a squirt bottle. As I extrude the design, I can change it, narrow it, or add to the drawing. It needs to dry overnight and then I bring out the paints. First, I gesso over the design and after each layer dries, I may add irridescent, interference and regular acrylic paints. My extrusions are definitely abstract in nature but not always.
Abstracts

Abstracts

Many of my abstracts are sometimes commissioned work. Since I have a tendency to be more literal and so I continually practice and hone my abstract techniques.
Flowers: Angel Trumpets and More.

Flowers: Angel Trumpets and More.

I go back and forth painting angel trumpet blossoms and their trees. I recently purchased a Passionflower Vine called Lady Margaret - this is a blossom from the vine. As of May 2011, there are only four images and perhaps more to come. For a non-flower painter, it is what it is!
