Original Painting Acrylic Still Life by JC Strong

An art teacher once said "all art is autobiographical in some way. The theme, style, even color can give you a glimpse of the artist." Well, it was raining the day I painted this still life. I think even with a cool day, I enjoy warm color...

DREAMSICLE SUNSET IN PARADISE ~ Lisabongzee Island Dream Life


This is fun sunset painting I recently finished. I thought an appropriate name for it would be
"Dreamsicle Sunset In Paradise"
because as I was mixing the beautiful array of orange colors to add into the sky, my palette resembled a melting creamy dreamsicle!!

I love to create secret little Paradise places in my mind, and this particular painting could represent any of the wonderful tropical locals on this earth. Whether it be the Caribbean, Hawaii, or somewhere deep in the South Pacific, the little tiki~style shack set on a long pier overlooking the beautiful glittering ocean is the perfect place to enjoy the evening light show of the tropics!!

"Dreamsicle Sunset In Paradise"
is a 16x20 original oil palette knife painting, and comes framed in an Island Style solid wood frame with liner.

It is available HERE

"Eirinn Go Brach!"

After I completed "Irish Eyes Are Smiling" I decided I liked the character so well that I would illustrate a larger version with more detail.  Today I finished "Eirinn Go Brach!" and I must say, I am really pleased with the results.

I haven't had a chance to list him yet in My Etsy Shop but I thought I give my VAST blog friends a preview...
"Eirinn Go Brach"

Hope you like him as much as I do!
Happy Day!

Hello competitors, looks like I win today. Nice try. Oh, what? You think that's arrogant? You're probably right. Now, that is called humility. And I don't know what that's called. Go buy some things. Matek.
