Day 3 ~  Thirty paintings in thirty days in September  ~30 Paintings in 30 Days with Leslie Saeta.  

I have had this painting in my head and this half corked bottle for sometime.  Finally sat down and painted.

I love the way it turned out!

Half-corked was painted using professional artist grade acrylic paint on a museum quality gallery Ampersand Gessobord. Painting can be placed in a small frame and also be placed on a small easel for display.

This painting has sold.

The Secret Place

The Secret Place

6" x  6"

Acrylic Paint on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

~Sold~

A change of pace for me. I wanted to paint something colorful and romantic. After looking through all my reference photos, I found just the right one. A secluded little bistro table for two for an afternoon glass of wine or a morning brunch.  Kevin hates the title. His exact words were "how can it be a secret with a bright red umbrella"....he does have a point.

 The Secret Place was painted using professional artist grade acrylic paint on a museum quality gallery wrapped canvas with painted sides to allow for hanging without a frame. 

This painting has sold.

Today~ painting a cupcake!

Red Wine and Red Grapes

5" x 7"

Acrylic on Ampersand Gessobord

~Collection of the Artist~

I haven't painted glass in a while.  I love how this one turned out!

Red Wine and Red Grapes was painted using professional artist grade acrylic paint on Ampersand Gessobord. Painting was finished with a light coat of varnish. This painting can be slipped into a frame or placed on a small easel.

After looking at this painting for a while, I decided I couldn't part with it.  It is now framed and will be living with me~

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer~  It seems to by flying by.  As usual, so much to do and so little time~  Back to painting!

Thanks for stopping by~

Back from the Concert in Atlanta!

Just a short note to say: "Hi honey I'm home".

The ZZ Top concert was amazing!! Chastain Theatre in Atlanta is the best outdoor concert venue. I had the greatest time. ZZ Top is wonderful! I have been inspired to do some ZZ Top art, something abstract with running watercolor.....must have been that funny smell that sparked the idea.

Traveling also has sparked the "hit the road and paint" nerve. There will be more Low Country/Charleston art to come and also wine art. There are several winery visits I plan to make.

Check back again soon. The ZZ Top art (if it comes out as good as it is in my head) will be posted soon.
