Habitat Auction

Oct. 9, from 5:30 to 8:30 at Frog Level Brewing is the Waynesville Habitat for Humanity Auction.  I’ve donated another dahlia-with-blueone in this series which are called Dahlia.  Our Restore sells these fine quality plywood circles.  I’ve used acrylics and black enamel.  The circle is 8.5 inches across.

Nature disturbed

I’ve been working on these.  The foam flower has given me the most trouble!  The praying mantis’s have been interesting.  One is on two canvases, the swath down the middle is the mounting board, not part of the painting.  The other one is on a panel.  So far, I struggle more with acrylic on canvas, than on panels.  But the canvases were just sitting there!Susan Livengood painting acrylic, canvas 7-23-14b 7-23-14c

GMO Flower

Not really.   What is the goal?  The flower industry is lucrative.  I could use some money.  Every movement has an effect.  How do we prioritize?  Short term vs. long term consequences.6-25-14

Peonies

This started as an abstract color field painting.  The peony just butted in!

Spring

I’ve been photographing the spring blooms.  They are just a starting point for my paintings.  I did this painting two years ago, but the azaleas look similar every year.  A painting is Yellow-Flame-Azalea an effort to recognize a moment in the passage.

Tangled Web

This painting if of a Cereus, an outrageous red bloom.  A flower that is about 8 inches across.  I may not have captured the light coming through the leaves, but I did showCereus-with-grid a human imposition on nature, the grid pattern.  This painting is currently on display at Art On Depot.  The tangled web was that my website was down last night as Lunar Pages had technical difficulties.  We can ignore nature and our environment, but when it doesn’t work, we will be scrambling.

Gallery Support

Thanks to Cathey Bolton, owner of Art on Depot, who represents me.  We popped into the gallery today because Donna, Gregg’s mom was visiting.  She believes it is the best gallery in Waynesville, and I agree!  Cathey made my day by asking to buy this painting of mine!  We are hoping for a good season of art sales through her gallery!Flowers in Fog

New work at Art on Depot

This painting of a sunflower just went to Art on Depot.  See it tomorrow night during Art after dark.  The painting is acrylic on paper, and NOT framed, which makes it affordable, and you pick the framing!sunflower--blog

Really special occasions

I worked on unique greeting cards through the winter.  You can send it to a loved one, or mat and frame it for yourself!  A selection is at Art on Depot in Waynesville.
