Pink Passion

sold

      11x14 oil on  Board.  ...........    I recently read a small bio on Neri Manveil.   He was a sculpture and an artist.  He was most interested in the feeling of line.  Seems I go keep going back to line too.

Moving Into Light

                                       nfs

                                                Started with a silver pen that somehow took me to this.   I also focused on letting the background help shape the figures.

Figure In Oil

                                                    Used  oils to figure group last week.  Keeping the greys balanced with small color notes around the focal.

Warm Horizons

                                                    For some reason I am really into greys and neutrals.   This is going on an online gallery called Chairish.   We will see what happens.   Its hot in Charleston!

Translucent

Pink Lady

     India ink one minute gesture with pink acrylic paint.   Fun to play with these pink tubes of paint!

Figure Medley

sold

    This is one model with four different poses.   The gestures were one minute so I painted later in my studio.   I like how this one stayed fresh and the limited palette feels calming.

Color Patch

                              Once in awhile things just work out.   New board that will take pencil and oil paint.  It is very smooth so I could  move quickly to keep the paint in flow and fresh.   Have to keep this for awhile to see if I can learn from it.  

The Organist at Linda's Church

                     Linda told me that I could not take photos during the service.   When the music started I couldn't help but video .....  sold

Unity of Nine

     This is going to an auction to raise money for the families of the AME church in Charleston SC.     It still gives me chills when reflect on the day I painted this in Colorado .... no cell service and my sister by my side.   The teacher at the workshop suggested trying a new way of seeing and feeling paint .... just let the paint speak to you...so I did... ..  I painted this a week before the tragedy .... I had packed a small zerox copy of  Vivian's church in prayer and took it for inspiration.    When I was asked by Allison Williamson, ( Charleston Artist Collective)  if she could use this painting  for an article in the Huffington Post we both realized  it had nine people in it.  Suddenly this small painting took on a deeper meaning.     Thought I would share with you .... thanks, Anne

Trio

                                            This oil painting started as a dark background which are now lines.  The colors  are a softer palette inspired by Morandi.      In case you didn't know I have an Instagram
