“Singing of Spring”, Original Mixed Media Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin

"Singing of Spring"

In honor of spring, I decided to post this little piece.  As you can see, it is heavily textured with molding paste, hand-painted papers, and pieces of tyvek. The colors are vibrant and sing with the theme of spring!

This little one is sold, but I would love to create something just for you!  Feel free to contact me at:

"Early Spring Lightning and Thunderstorm" by Karla Nolan, 8"x10" unframed palette knife oil painting

Well, you know the old saying, "April showers bring May flowers"?  It happens here in Northern Colorado, that's for sure, those thunder and lightning storms bring the much needed moisture to the foothills, mountains, and plains.  This is a bit of a dramatic stretch as I'm not an art literalist, but a firm believer in artistic license.  It's more fun!

"Impromptu Ballerina Rose Bouquet" by Karla Nolan, 14"x11" unframed palette knife oil painting

I studied oil painting with Daniel Edmondson some time ago, a marvelous teacher and fine person.  He paints the most beautiful still life paintings, something I never felt I could even approach with a brush or palette knife.  I was inspired, however, more than I knew, to attempt a more "rugged" or less refined painting recently, with the thought of the pink ballerina rose bush planted in front of our house as the subject matter.  Dan has a more representational approach and I just tend to abstract my realism, as you can see!  (I might add here, he teaches some amazing painting classes via DVDs, you might want to check into these....he's on Facebook with more information....)

I am painting away with these acrylics to do a series of these greeting cards. Working in acrylics is soooooooooo much faster than painting in oils. Everything dries right away and you can easily make corrections and additions. Of course, the colors dry darker and so it is more difficult to to get the contrasts and tones correct. It is all a learning process. But so far I like working with both oils and acrylics. Visit my website to purchase.  SpohnStudio.com

MRS. CROW'S SPRING VISION

30 x 30

Oil on Board

I have been working on this painting for a couple days. This story painting came about while browsing thru some reference photos. I had a photo of this crow that I wanted to put into a painting, but I was also longing for springtime since it has been unusually cold for December in these parts, and I was looking at all these wonderful springtime flowers. My imagination took over and  Mrs. Crow became my wistful self enjoying a beautiful spring garden. This painting was created using just brushes (unusual for me...)  I will have to do my next painting with the pallet knives. 'Mrs. Crow's Spring Vision' is painted on 1/4 inch board that is attached to a wood box frame (looking similar to a gallery wrapped canvas) and is for sale for $875.00. Contact me to purchase and  regarding shipping charges. Visit my blog for more information: susanmspohn.blogspot.com   also take a look at my website: susanmspohn.com
