Ariettes Oublieés


My newest painting created on Earth Day. Inspiration is from the huge tulip magnolia in my front yard, and from a recent dream. 

A friend made the comment that this was like a Paul Verlaine poem.
So I titled it from a poem he wrote for a Claude Debussy piece; 'Ariettes Oublieés'.
Oil on canvas, 24"x30".

Please visit my Etsy shop and take a look at my other work~ thanks!

Just finished a painting I created for Illustration Friday. Now putting prints of it in my shop. Thinking it might be a nice idea to put my latest illustration friday images in Etsy and change them as and when a new one is created.

"In the Midst of Joy, We Live"


9"x12"
mixed media on wood

In this piece, it is the juxtaposition of colors that, to me, tells a story...of pain and liberation, of perseverance, of gathering strength from tears.

Oh, and from now to April 30, I am offering FREE SHIPPING on orders over $75!

Thanks for looking!

Lil' KeikiNut



I am always amazed when I see a palm lined beach. My thoughts are of a bobbing coconut, drifting from some far off land. Traveling, perhaps, many thousands of miles before beaching itself on a new sandy shore. Sprouting roots, it begins it's life in a totally new environment!
(And then again, it could have just fallen from the tree that is growing right above it!!)

This is a new original ACEO titled "Lil' KeikiNut". The Hawaiian word for “baby” is “Keiki” and this baby coconut palm is just beginning it’s life on the tropical shores of a beautiful island paradise!

Lil' KeikiNut ACEO


ALOHA FROM HAWAII!!

an incredible journey...

I am in the process of putting together my first solo exhibition which will be hanging for the months of May and June. This painting called River Rocks #4 is one I've just completed. It's the fourth in my river rock series. I'll be hanging 24-25 works. Some are watercolors and some are wild mixed media pieces. What a wonderful journey artmaking is for me. I want to thank all of you for your hospitality and support here. I am looking forward to beginning a blog and adding more paintings to my Etsy site after next week.

I just listed this painting, it's one of my older portraits from 1981. Malcolm Fordham, an old writer friend of mine from the day, who sported a bow tie for the occasion. And his cat was not happy about posing. This was done from several life sessions. I don't work from photographs.

Oil on canvas, 30"x32".

Afternoon On A Hill

Watercolor available at www.ArtSnark.etsy.com
Or read the poem that inspired here

Tranquil Palm Cove

Sometimes, I like to just let my imagination run loose, and my paintbrush (or in this case, palette knife) does the same. "Tranquil Palm Cove" is a painting from an imaginary place in my mind. I am sure there are beautiful coves that exist like this somewhere, but this one is my own secluded little getaway where I spent a few afternoons in the quiet solitude of my palette knife, paints, and canvas.

LIFE IS GOOD! ALOHA!

Reflection

© M Pruitt 2009

My favorite part of this painting is that it is abstract enough that you will find your own interpretation of  “Reflection”. It’s a reflective piece – with the sky and a flying bird reflected in the eyes… a double meaning with the title.

What does it say to you?

Encaustic Journey


Greetings from Georgia!
Here is one of my new encaustic pieces which will be in my etsy shop soon. (www.etsy.com/ladynite56) For those of you unfamiliar with encaustic work, it is done entirely with wax. I am really enjoying learning the process of "painting" with a hot iron. This ancient technique has had a recent resurgence in the art world among both artists and art collectors. The texture you can achieve by layering wax is amazing and the pieces are surprisingly resilient except to extreme heat. They can actually be polished with a soft cloth! Anyone interested in seeing further encaustic products and paintings can visit www.encausticrocks.com

What to do with an ACEo

The first set was a big hit and I sold all of them in a very short time. You can see them here.
Musical ACEOs

The background on these piano keys ACEOs is many layers of acrylic paint applied with a pallet knife. This gives the paintings a lot of texture and interest. Each was painted on canvapaper then adhered to a playing card for stability. Each is signed on the back and numbered.

Number 1 of 8


I only have the first two listed right now. I'll add more tomorrow. Number 2 of 8
