New Abstract

by Amanda, posted in Abstract, acrylic, Art, Artist, canvas, creative, female artist, paint, Paintings, Uncategorized

Hello again,

I find Art shows are the best way to get the artistic blood flowing again and that seems to be what’s happened.

Sunday I felt the need to sit down, put on some music and do an abstract, so I did.

I aimed for a complete abstract in the style of “Unexplained” because I really do think there are times when art should be done “just because”.

So here it is:  Be-cause~ 13″ x 9.5″

I’m thinking this may turn into a 5 part series since I happen to have 5 of these sized canvases at my disposal.

So stay tuned

Cheers,

Amanda

7 styles of—

I’ve taken a break from the “Curvy” series and started a new series focused on shoes.

More specifically, stilettos.

The series will be called “7 styles of  ————–”

Why the blank? Well that’s because I’m not telling just yet.

I want to see what you, the viewer might think it is.

What comes to mind when you think of high heel shoes?

The series will consist of 7 watercolor and ink paintings each 9″x12″ with a stiletto as the subject.

Here is #1.RED

And as per the norm, I was too impatient to wait for the ink to dry.

Let me know your thoughts.

Cheers,

Amanda


Guitar Commission-Part Three the conclusion

by Amanda, posted in Abstract, acrylic, Art, Artist, canada, commission, creative, female artist, For Sale, Musical Instruments, Paintings, photos, Uncategorized

Well, the guitar commission is finally finished and delivered to the customer.

I’m still not quite sure if I like it with or without the hands better,

but it doesn’t matter since the customer is happy with it.

Just for fun, here’s a look at the progress again:

1-acoustic guitar

2-Sanded and primed

3-background roughed out

4-background details added

5-addition of the hands

6-hand details

7-re-assembled, signed and sealed. Only thing missing are the strings.

Now it’s going to live happily ever after mounted on a wall for display.

If you’d like to commission a used or broken instrument for display,  or any other artwork

email me at themilkeway@gmail.com

Oh and I’ve added a commission gallery where I’ll be putting all the artwork that I receive as commissions.

Cheers for now!

Create ~ krē-āt

14th century Middle English, from Latin creatus, past participle of creare; akin to Latin crescere to grow te:

3: cause, occasion
4 a: to produce through imaginative skill b: design

I’ve finished the last piece I had painted for the series, #7.

From here on I’m back to square one in terms of the creation process.

Interestingly enough 7 emphasizes creation,

so it’s only fitting that I pause here before going on.

I’ll update once I have more images to add. Til then, I leave you with #7 “Create with me.”
