Just a peek

I’m working on a whole stack of things at the moment: (still)

bookmarks

cards

watercolor series

abstract painting

etc

etc

My hope is that I’ll be able to post some more bookmarks later today 🙂

They’re quite colorful.

In the meantime, I’ve been trying to work out how to frame the “Life Simplified” series and ran into some floating frames I had kicking around.

So what do you think?

I think the floating frame works nice but it could work just as well with a few mats around it too.

Anyway, I hope to post more work later today!

Acrylic Bookmarks

Well I’ve finished one of the bookmarks that I’ll have available for sale at the upcoming November trade show.

Check it out.

Portable art for on the go people!
The perfect companion to any book.
Each bookmark is hand painted using acrylic paint on acid and ligning free card stock.
It has been given a clear protective coat making it water resistant.
They measures 6″x2″ and feature a small eyelet with a co-coordinating ribbon that has been fray stopped.
The back side is plain black with a signed label.
No two are alike! 🙂

I’ll be selling them for $4.00 each.

If you’re interested in purchasing one or would like a particular color combination email me at themilkeway(at)gmail.com

Cheers!

Persistence-Three Fold Prayer series

by Amanda, posted in Abstract, acrylic, Art, Artist, canada, commission, creative, events, female artist, For Sale, God/Religion, Paintings, photos, Series

A day late but as promised.

Here is #1 “Persistence” of a 3 part series on prayer. Each piece is 11″ x 15″.

The series is based on the 3 key aspects of prayer as mentioned in Luke chapter 11.

I’ll try to do post the rest of the series over the next few days.

I’m also working on some blank greeting cards with my artwork as the cover as well as some unique hand painted bookmarks. I’ll post some examples as I get them finished.  I’m also hoping to update with a list of prices and a gallery highlighted the various items for sale and of course, they’ll all be available to purchase at the upcoming trade show.

Stay tuned!

Cheers,

Amanda

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to you all!

I spent all of yesterday baking, cooking and painting. Fun!

So what did I get accomplished you might ask?

Well, I made two pumpkin pies, baked some yams and made stuffing.

Oh and I also finished the watercolor on the “Three Fold Prayer” series.

I was able to finish the writing on the first piece “Persistence” however I haven’t had time to take a picture yet.

You’ll just have to wait until my next post.

Here’s a look at the recently added watercolor layer. Continue reading “Three Fold Prayer & Thanksgiving” →
