I love watercolor portrait which I do only on comission for now.I am exploring acrylic and textures with mixed media to loosen myself.I am working mostly in macros on plants, I love the subtle details nature gives us every day. I am a Biologist, plant lover, tree and palms fan. Love art,life and good attitude people around me.

When I enter an art supply store, I want to buy everything!

When I finish the eyes on a portrait.

Plants, palms, trees everything that's green and alive.

Noise.

People smoking in my working space.

Negative people.

Cottage cheese,granola bars and boxing

Sewing, cooking, reading.

Thanks for explaining the frond piece. I did picture it above a couch, like a window! It's always better to understanding a painting when the artist gives the perspective of where it came from or why it was done.

Hi Marible..... Thank you for the comments on the Orange Bud...rose painting.. It is Acrylic.


 The flowers in many of my other paintings are made from stencils I designed myself.  I use a mixture of primer and joint compound to thicken the paint... sometimes I use textured paint that you can get at hoem Depot....half the price of art store mediums and equally as durable and workable.


 


I fill the stencils with the texured medium and when It is dry I work in the paint and glazes and crackle,


 


I love your cactus...but you are very good at portrait...I can see why it would be a joy finishing the eyes....that is one of the hardest parts...catching one's personality and spirit..(for me)

Right now i'm just making really good laser copy prints on nice thick paper...they actually come out pretty nice. I mat them,sign and  sell them at local art festivals.If I make some money I'll invest in some  nicer "archival" prints or giclees.

Hi-  Thanks for the comment on my watercolor...It's about 11x14 inches...the original was sold very cheaply (I should have held on to it..I like it too). Luckily i was able to make prints of it..which this is.


Thanks,


Frank

Thanks for you encouraging comments on my site! No, I have never heard of the ceiba tree, but now I will look it up.   My daughter named the piece "Concerned Mother" for me.

Hola amiga!

 Prefiero que me escribes en espaņol. Aqui en el norte donde vivo hay poca gente que lo hablan. Son bien grandes los cuadros. Ha de costar mucho tiempo para lograr el nivel de detalle y color que muestras.

Espero ver mas trabajo pronto. 

Saludos, liza
