Patterns and Textures, Cats and Bricks, Penny Lee Stewart

Awhile back I painted these bricks for a challenge of "All In A Row" and I really worked on the texture, impasto, using thick paint, trying to make it look like a brick and mortar wall. But who wants to buy a picture of a wall? So I added the cat silhouettes and finally sold it thru my Daily Paint Works site, www.pennyleestewart.com. It was done in acrylics on an 8x10 canvas board. Not an ATC. LOL.

Sunrise Sunset, Sunrise in Kastelholm by Sirkka Jalava

This theme seems so interesting and while I have a sunrise painting in acrylic, which I made in this autumn with our group  in the series of the castle Kastelholm, so I will show it for you here,  So you don´t forget me, It is acrylic in size maybe 50 x70 cm or bigger. I have it not at home now, We had an exhibition in this castle at the end of the term.

Fruit, Lemon in a Rice Bowl, with mouse, Penny Stewart

This is large for me. 12x16 acrylic on canvas board.

I usually paint ACEOs. LOL.

The challenge last week on DPW was to paint something in a bowl. I did the lemon, larger than life, in a rice bowl. I added the little mouse because the painting needed something in that corner. And he was cute! I guess this would qualify as a still life, too. And maybe an animal painting.
