Present and Cut Abstract Palm Tree, 8 x 8 inches, mixed media on
canvasboard, $100, ©2015 Angeline Marie

Prussian blue. Oh, what a rich, delicious, luscious, midnight summers, bright starred blue! It sets off the collaged palm tree shapes well!

There are three large drawers of collage materials in my art studio. A future task is to sort the colors into separate boxes....

Want to come over to help me sort papers? LOL

Mature Audiences Only Original Mixed Media Design

Mature Audiences Only, 8 x 8 inches, 3D collage on canvasboard,©2015 Angeline Marie

If you have an older independent wonderful loved one, you will be involved in doing stuff like home repairs. Wonderful Handy Andy was about to toss this blister package after a small house job that made Mama very very happy. The robots Mature Audiences Only were very very happy that I rescued them and brought them to life.

In high school, everyone is sex-crazed...at least at my Catholic high school we were, LOL. We spent quite a number of lunches twisting every phrase into double-meanings and inventing insults. Oh, how we laughed! 

There are quite a number of phrases cut from different packages and magazines. Some you can only see if you meet Mature Audiences Only in person. We can definitely work on how to make that happen! 

Smiles!!!!

Icelandic Influenced Palm Tree Abstract Mixed Media Art

Icelandic Influenced Palm Tree Abstract, 8 x 8 inches, mixed media
on canvasboard, $100

A friend Brian and I attended Art Basel in 2006. At this exhibit, there was a huge wall covered with glass shards offered as art. It was beautiful and startling, stark glass fragments on a glaring white wall. 

On a dare, I asked how much to take the artwork home. Turns out, the Icelandic artist offers mini do-it-yourself kits to make your own installation of the work on about a size of 14 x 11 inch wall. I remember thinking that for the price, the boxes should be better than cardboard! The patron had three choices: glass, pebbles, or lava rocks.

As a joke, Brian received a 14 x 11 inch canvasboard covered with brown pebbles for Christmas that year. It actually turned out very cool. I don't have a photo of it...but the memory of the piece inspired this one, Icelandic Influenced Palm Tree Abstract.

Pebbles are used on the bottom, then used tea, then sawdust, and lastly at the top is Florida beach sand. 

I love how the blue abstract palm frond leaves stand out against the yellow black textured background.

I hope you like it, too! Do you have art at your home with a story? Please share.  

Smiles!!!!

Scattered Yellow Pieces Mixed Media Art

Scattered Yellow Pieces, 8 x 8 inches, mixed media on canvasboard, 2015

I struggled with this piece. It was too easy. Too simple. Too, too, too...but I LIKE IT. 

It began with a small sketch like most of my paintings/ mixed media art. I colored it in with pens and looked way much more interesting in my sketchbook...but...I LIKE this! 

Sometimes things come easily...others not so much. 2015 is 22 days old today...and I am thoroughly enjoying the easily as long as it lasts!!!! 

Eight more days of the challenge, 30 Paintings in 30 Days. I want another challenge for myself after January...but after learning from 2014...perhaps I will keep those self imposed challenges for myself, LOL!

I hope you like Scattered Yellow Pieces. Is 2015 so far bringing you the easy? If not...I hope it does soon!

Smiles,

Silver Palm Trees Over Sunset

Silver Palm Sunset, 11 x 14 inches, mixed media on
canvas, 2015, $300

Silver Palm Sunset began as a regret. It was a big yellow ball of a sun interrupted only by a weird looking silhouette of some kind of bird all "pasted" onto a semi-interesting background of color dominated by a burgundy red crimson. 

Yes, I HATED it. LOL 

Until I decided that I truly did dislike it and it was time to destroy it. The original description of the painting (ball of sun, etc.) applied since perhaps 2004? I don't remember! Destruction occurred last year with smears of leftover paint onto it. I didn't care what colors were smeared on it. 

One of my sketches is of a palm tree line at the beach. It's based on a photo my friend (almost like little sister) Daimisy sent me. Silver Palm Sunset is based on my sketch of her photo. 

I quite like the mysterious shapes and the now not so obvious ball of sun. LOL

Have you changed a regret yet? What was it? How did you do it? Make your bucket list yet? Do anything on it yet? 

Smiles,

Angeline Marie

Jester Palm Tree Mixed Media Painting

Jester Palm Tree, 8x8 inches, mixed media on canvasboard, 2015, $100

This is another painting finished over the weekend. Jester Palm Tree... do you see the palm tree? 

I have to get back into my art studio quickly!!! I'm excited by a few ideas singing at me to get placed onto canvas and thankfully have those ideas captured in my sketchbook. Only thing left before painting is to look up a color combination, lol. So many color choices! So many paintings I can make! LOL

We are half way through the month...and so far I've had a new to you painting every single day this month. I need to get back into my studio quickly, LOL.

Did you set yourself a challenge this new month of 2015? What is it? How are you doing? 

Smiles!!!!

Horus Eye Collage

Horus Eye, 8 x 8 inches, collage on canvasboard, $100

1997 was the year I sang I get knocked down, but I get up again, ya ain't never gonna keep 

It was also the year mi Mama and I visited Egypt. Oh what a wonderful experience!!! We loved it! 

Our only truly bad moment in Egypt was at the airport about to leave: there was only one flight ticket for four of us. With three people with very similar names, I was the only one who had a ticket. LOL I stayed with Mama, just as Carmen stayed with hers. Our trip was magically extended as Allah willing we visited Alexandria with the crazy fun taxi driver who teased us by mimicking our cries of mira! mira! mira! (look! look! look!).  

This little art piece is inspired by Egypt. Ancient Egypt has beautiful art, colors, and symbols. The Valley of the Kings made a huge impression on me: the caves full of scrumptious colors. It's a wonder to look up into the sky, under an arch that's stood for a couple of thousand years and see paint still adhering to the underside of the arch. Yeah. I still dream of that trip! 

Where have you traveled that made a huge impression on you?

Dream-Pieces-Memories Assemblage

Dream-Pieces-Memories, 8 x 8 inches, assemblage, $200

There are moments that I really, really, REALLY miss my father. 

Papa and I had lots of fun together when I was little. Lots of stories, walks to the park, orders of pizza, swimming at the beach with Mama. He was my hero. 

We lost all that to Alzheimer's disease. He was diagnosed when I was 12. 

This little piece is the first of a mini-series. The mini-series doesn't have a title yet. This is the first time I've admitted the subject matter aloud to the world outside of Andy (husband). 

Papa loved the beach, knew about electronics, loved to find broken yet lovely bits of shells with me, used that type of comb all the time, and used to work as a building superintendent. Most of those ideas are incorporated in this assemblage entitled Dream-Pieces-Memories.

Hope you like.  May Alzheimer's be eradicated soon.

Smiles!!!!

Trees and Hills Mixed Media Art

Trees and Hills, 8 x 8 inches, mixed media on canvasboard, $100

This piece began on one of those fall nights that I had 20 minutes or less to play in my art studio....IF I had even the energy to do more than shuffle off to bed after reading a few minutes, LOL. 

This was done in a few series of steps: layers of collage strips, ink, and paint. After it sat on my "study" shelf, I decided I love it just as it finally emerged.

What do you think? Ever had something just suddenly pull together and work? 

Smiles!!!!

Angry Green Monster

Angry Green Monster, 8 x 8 inches, mixed media on canvas board

Mi Tia the other day asked me what was new in my art studio. 

Tia is not thrilled with my new series of dragons. Some of you might not like dragons and sea monsters...that is ok. 

I still adore painting and designing palm trees. Dragons will continue to show up just because they give me a fun challenge. There are as many dragons as there are palm tree designs, lol. 

I call this piece Angry Green Monster. He began as a collage of torn paper and ended with layered paint. You could also call him Sad. Sometimes, he strikes more as down and fighting to feel better...maybe because I know how that feels.

Hope he makes you grin!

Smiles!!!!
