Dana Marie
1.5" X 1.5" Acrylic Painting in Glass Locket & Hung on an adjustable black leather necklace.


"Daisies a Plenty" by Saundra Lane Galloway


I decided to combine this week's challenge with my blog contest running for a couple more days this summer. I painted this acrylic on a 4x4" gesso 1/2" board for one of the give-away choices for my contest. To read more click over to my BLOG. And...as I've said in other posts this morning...can't remember if it would be Daisies or Daisy's...hmmm...thank goodness it doesn't change the painting!

When I saw the beautiful black cat I immediately thought of my own black cat, Shadow. I did this ACEO of her watching Cardinals from the window for my new project, One Pebble. Check out the One Pebble Blog for more info.

Week 7 Inspiration ~ In the Eye of the Beholder

SOLD
1.5" X 1.5" Original Miniature Acrylic Painting in Glass Locket Pendant

"Side by Side"

by Dana Marie

1.5" X 1.5" Original Miniature Acrylic Painting in Glass Locket Pendant

I wanted to begin with the color combination and as I was setting up I thought of a large piece (30" X 24"), "Botanical Three" and these two are were created using the inspiration of that piece and the color combination of this week's Inspiration photograph.

Week 5 Inspiration ~ Fuchsia

by Dana Marie
1 1/2" X 1 1/2" Original Acrylic Painting in Glass Locket

I was inspired by the color combination, the stamens and stigma of the fuchia flower.

This was not my first pick, though, I do love this photograph. I took it last year of this humming bird attracking beauty hanging on my porch at our old house in Lincoln City, Oregon. This weeks photo was to be one or both of my lighted lawn deers in the snow, however, the photographs did not turn out as I'd hoped. I will try again and I may end up posting two pictures for this week. However, if that does not happen, hope you enjoy this one.

Week 4 Inspiration ~ Winter Evening

SOLD


"Encircle" is the second piece I created from using this weeks inspiration photograph, "Winter Evening". I wanted to capture the cobalt blue color in this piece, as I did in, "Magic in the Air", and my focus was on the full moon being cradled by the tree branches.

SOLD

This is one of three inspirational pieces I did for this week, however, I'm still in the midst of finishing up the third. The one thing I loved about the photograph was the way moon appeared to be hanging from the tree like an ornament or a Chinese lantern. This was the end result of that concept.



I was just thinking about the Winter. The very first thought came to my mind this december is Snow. So i painted the moon drenching in snow sticked tree branches.


"Winter Moon"
by Amanda Makepeace

This week I was inspired by 2 things - the beautiful photograph and Dana Marie's small pendant paintings. My pendant is an original, acrylic painting on wood and measures 1 inch in diameter (about the size of a Quarter). I actually bought the little wood discs months ago and never got around to painting on them till now. I've attached a silver plated bail and the pendant comes with a black cord.

Week 3 Inspiration ~ Acorns

SOLD

I simply love acorns....they bring thoughts of the Holiday Season. Just last month, my son found one while on a walk with his Nana when she was visiting last and he brought it home for me as a gift. It was so tiny and perfect! Another reason for me to love acorns.


The Last Acorns

by Amanda Makepeace

I couldn't resist focusing on the acorns in last weeks challenge. However, in my Acrylic ACEO I decided to fast forward them a bit. Here they appear dark and ready to drop from the tree!

Week 2 Inspiration ~ Sunflowers

SOLD
Okay, like you Maria...I really wanted to get something up, but unfortunately I don't have anything new. I did painting sunflowers to post, however, I really didn't like how they turned out, so I am posting "Sunflowers" a bamboo piece I painted in June.




Well, I was going to paint something new, but time ran away with me. I do love sunflowers so much, and I thought I'd share a picture I painted last year if you don't mind. It was during my "Grandma Moses" phase as my friends called it. :)


This is called Max's Place. The cat on the fence is Max. :) Maria
