Contemporary Abstract Painting "Nurturing Embrace" by International Contemporary Abstract Artist Arrachme
Tuesday, March 12, 2019
Wildlife Painting, Alligator Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8" Original Art
These guys are not uncommon sights in Florida. Sometimes you see them snoozing in the sun next to a road. Golfer's here usually have a scary encounter to tell.
This was my third attempt to paint this fellow. I had difficulty getting the drawing correct, as well as the color. The image I worked from was not exciting. Eventually, I think I worked it out.
Go gators!

Old English Sheepdog Painting, Pet Portrait, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 8x8x1.5" Oil by CarolSchiffStudio SOLD
I always loved a good shaggy dog story...so naturally I had to paint this one.
I found it a little difficult to get the sketching correct as this guy is all fur. Thanks to my friend, Ted Fuhrer, for allowing me to use another of his fine photographic images.
I put a few impasto details in the face.
This image is also avaiable as a giclee print in several sizes here.
Thanks for reading my blog today.

Marsh Landscape with herons, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 9x12x.75" Oil SOLD
This little painting on linen, is a study for a 30x40" commission that I am working on.
I painted several small studies, until the client was happy with the composition.
I think this has a slightly "romantic"feel about it, quite different than my usual pieces. I kept the brushwork and the colors softer than my usual works.
When I first started painting, there were so many rules to learn. I never knew what the finished piece would look like and usually started without a specific feel in mind. After all these years, I am finally feeling a little control in my work, but, oh so much more to learn!
I know for me, this is the appeal of painting, always trying to challenge myself and escalate my skills. Very frustrating and also very rewarding and ALWAYS interesting!
Have a great day!

I feel like I want a Margarita every time I look at this one....right away I am on island time.
Hope you find a way to relax a little today, too. Thanks for stopping by today.

Abstract Sea Painting, Palette Knife Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 8x16x.75" Oil, SOLD
We are happy to be back in Florida, and I wanted to mark the occasion with a new abstract.
I really enjoyed creating this art. Sometimes it is nice to just get in the zone, no particular plan, and let the subconscious take over.
I love playing with paint and these represent some of my favorite colors. I didn't plan to do a seascape, but it feels like one, especially of the tropical waters in the Caribbean Islands.
The last few months have been hectic for me. This is just what I needed to calm me down.
Have a great day and thanks for reading my blog.

Contemporary Abstract Expressionism Painting "Qualia Playful Sequence" Compass Series by International Contemporary Abstract Artist Arrachme

Daily Painting, Fiddlehead Fern Painting, Small OIl Painting, 11x14 Oil NFS
This small oil painting came about because of a trip I took to North Carolina.. I used to live in Florida, where we didn't get a lot of spring flowers, and when I saw this bed of ferns coming to life, I had to paint them.
I was surprised how quickly they grew, with obvious growth from day to day.
I decided to use a dark background to really highlight the ferns and keep my palette restricted to greens, blues and purples. I have been pleased with the results of this painting, which is a departure from my usual style. Blues are very difficult to photograph accurately and although the background color appears to be a deep blue, the actual color is close to a black,
This piece is available at the link above as an original, or here as a giclee' canvas print in the size of your choice.
Thanks for viewing my blog today. I hope you take time every day, to smell the roses.
