Skull Study


Skull Study
Acrylic on canvas

This is a close up of a study I just finished for a larger painting...I can only reveal a small portion of the study right now. I have learned that a skull is one of the most difficult things to paint!

The ticket booth is the star of the show in this piece! I think of it as a magic box with globe lights and colorful reflections...the entrance to the carnival...

Clown



Clown
5"x9"
Acrylic on panel

This is the second study in my carnival series. I had a lot of fun with this one! I've always been terrified of clowns, from a very young age (before I knew about IT or Attack of the Killer Clowns)...I would have to sit waay up high in the bleachers when my parents took me to the circus and once around the same time period my mom took me to the mall and there happened to be a clown convention...traumatizing. I'm not really afraid of clowns anymore, and I love this little scene!

Cotton Candy



Cotton Candy
6"x6"
Acrylic on panel

This is the first in a series of studies from the fair that Clint and I went to in Port Saint Lucie recently. It was fantastic! Among the attractions, half woman, half snake, smallest woman in the world, and a haunted mansion..lots of fun. I've always loved fairs and carnivals...although there is an element of fun and innocence, there is also a darkness that draws me in...

Green Perfume Bottle



Green Perfume Bottle
4"x6"
Acrylic on panel

I recently found this green perfume bottle and thought it would look nice with red cherries and a purple background! It took me a little while to match the bright greens in the bottle. I like the gold accents..I'm always looking for unusual objects that I can paint!

Mango And Pineapple


Mango And Pineapple
6"x6"
Acrylic on panel

This is the first time I've ever painted a mango! I bought two at the grocery store. I cut up one, but decided to paint the other one whole. The color transition was tricky, but this little painting makes me feel happy, mostly because of the bright tropical colors.
