Fun for the whole family! And, I would love for you to stop by my booth. 28A Laney Fine ART and THE SILVER LOFT JEWELRY. See you there!

Art Under the Oaks

I was fortunate to participate in Art Under the Oaks show this year in Livermore. It was so beautiful, and I met so many other amazing artists. I also saw some friends from another show I do in Danville each October called Art in the Park! I really enjoyed myself and the show went so good.

Here was the set up:

I had quite a bit of original art this year, and a lot of smaller pieces. I had no idea that they would be so successful and it was so much fun to see someone find just what they were looking for and purchase it from ME! I felt honored to have my artwork placed in so many homes.

Thank you to all who came to support me and the event. Thank you especially to those of you who were able to take home a piece of art from me or any of the other talented artists. Please leave a comment if you come across my blog, and let me know how your artwork looks in your home. I will definately be back next year!

Cheers to Trio's

These are two more finished pieces inspired by my Trio theme. The thing I love about trio's is that it almost moves my artwork into that photography category where you see several different shots of the same image. Also, you can mix and match the subject or order of things around your house.

Puzzle Pieces

I have always loved the look of Diptych paintings. I even went through a phase where it was all that I painted. Inspired by that idea, I have moved into a puzzle phase. Tiny little paintings pieced together to form one image. This adds so much more variety to your artwork. It also allows the owner of the artwork to change the order of the canvases however they would like. This can easily create a more contemporary and modern feel, even if the subject is quite traditional.

City Scene

These three tiny paintings were inspired of the San Francisco Area. Two images of the Golden Gate bridge and one of Coit Tower. Because both have so much History to them I wanted an aged look. They started out Black and White and very modern. Just adding some rustic detail and vintage tones brought more depth and meaning to these tiny city treasures.

Fruity Inspirations

These 3 paintings were inspired by fruit. Grape-fruit to be exact. The rich colors, the citrus juice, the texture, the smell. I wanted to try and capture all of that into a set of paintings. I think I am craving a citrus drink from Jamba Juice. Anyone else?

Elegant Flair

Acrylic Painting 40 x 30

It had been a long time since I had actually been inspired to paint something specific. Some of the time I just start something, and see where it takes me. But I had a specific idea in mind for this piece of artwork. I was starting to be inspired by the upcoming Spring, and from all of the contrast of the Winter, and I wanted it to be a large piece that would really make a "statement".

I named it "Elegant Flair". I think it is a timeless piece, hence the "elegant", and the contrast and little bit of color add flair to this simple creation.
