"Angel Descending"
"Angel"
I found these cute little frames and immediately envisioned my angel paintings framed in them. It was a good decision to purchase them. Here are just the first two that are available. I'll be posting more soon.
They will make special and meaningful gifts.

"Captive Angel" 20 x 24 inches Original acrylic painting on stretched canvas
Only one in the entire universe...and it could be yours! Certificate Of Authenticity provided with every original painting.
Full of symbolism, "Captive Angel" is from my Paintings From "The Zone" Series. A series of 29 paintings, thus far, which were created moment to moment without any forethought. I consider these paintings ultra original works of art. Try as you might, you won't find anything like these anywhere! Great conversation pieces. This is the type of artwork that you will always find something new when you view it. I still do and I painted them!!!
As I begin each painting, it is with the intention of keeping my mind as clear and free of any preconceived ideas and just dip my brush into the first color that attracts me and follow the movement from brain to hand to canvas or paper. The results are always fascinating...a complete surprise!

"Sunflower Patch" is another painting created at the beautiful Saratoga State Park in Saratoga Springs, NY. The flower displays seem to be waning a bit and I have a few other locations I am considering painting at. The park just might refresh their beautiful displays with autumn plantings though...we'll see.
Can you feel the joy in this painting? I was so happy and thankful to have found this exceptionally beautiful location to paint this summer. Plein air painting is quite a different experience than my usual studio painting and I hope to get much better at it as time goes by.

Only one in the entire universe...and it could be yours! Certificate Of Authenticity provided with every original painting.
"Gifts From The Sun" was created plein air (outdoors) on a beautiful warm summer day at the entrance to the renowned Saratoga State Park in Saratoga Springs, NY. - my current and very beautiful home town! I am so fortunate to have such wonderous places to set up my gear and paint!
I will be leaving for a weekend plein air painting event in Ticondera, NY on Friday. I will post my new paintings next week.
