Susan Spohn-- Lucky, Pet Portrait, Dog Painting, Custom Painting

Lucky
7 x 7
oil on board
This is a commissioned pet portrait. I like its simplistic lines and coloring. There was a large flowering bushy sunflower plant in the back of the photo. I brought it forward and used it as a background, the color and pattern make a nice contrast to the earthtones of the dog. Contact me for more information on pet portraits.  susanmspohn.gmail.com

Amethyst Aspen
oil 24x48
I love to try to capture the light this time of year.
This field of Aspen trees had all lost their leaves and as the
sun was setting the light played off their naked trunks.
"Trees are much like human beings and enjoy each other's company.
Only a few love to be alone."
~Jens Jensen, Siftings, 1939'

As we have family in town for the weekend, I'm not getting any painting done.  We've gone for walks, have had great meals with lots of visiting, went to the movies.  These sunrises from our deck were painted a short while ago to be posted this weekend.

The title for this piece is complements of Dean Haven who told me in a comment yesterday that I was "more than lucky to have this view...Blessed is more like it!"  He's right!  I thought that that made a great title!

Susan Spohn --- Autumn Trees

Pallet Knife Painting, Fall Scene, Woodland, Fall Colors, Earthtones, Large Painting, Colorful Paintings, Impressionistic, Vincent Van Gogh

Autumn Trees
30 x 30
oil on board and paper
This painting had an interesting creative process from start to finish. I first primed and gesso'd the board, then using matte mediums, added scraps of paper in leopard and floral motifs to sort of form the outlines of trees and bushes. I then picked up my pallet knives and started painting mixing large quantities of paint, and generously swiping them on the board resulting in a thick, textural and loose painting. In the end, almost all the paper and board are covered, but it was fun to see what would happen in this creative process.
This painting is for sale for $850.00. Contact me to figure out the shipping costs, or if you are passing by my studio, you can pick it up right here.

"THREE REDS" 11078, textured red poppy painting © Carol Nelson Fine Art

Three Reds

This was a demo I did for a class recently.  I was showing them how to sculpt the poppy petals using acrylic medium or Custom Patch. 

The background was black and purple originally.  Then I painted over that with a warm gray color and spritzed it with alcohol resulting in those little circles where the darker background shows through.

Alcohol spritz on an acrylic painting is something I can't seem to demo enough.  For students that failed Alcohol 101, I can only say practice makes perfect.  Doing the perfect alcohol spritz is somewhat of an art form in itself.
