This reminds me of the miles of Golden Wheat fields down in the Palouse region of Eastern Washington.  We were down there last week and the wheat is already peeking up through the soil.

6 P.M. AND THE NIGHT PEEKS IN ...

A new Painting done on Textured Canvas.  I love working on the Texture ~ especially for landscapes.  I think it adds a lot of dimension to a painting.

'FEEL THE HEAT.  DANCE OF THE SERENGETI.'


'FEEL THE HEAT.  DANCE OF THE SERENGETI.'

12 x 12 Mixed Media on Wood Panel

I actually did the background on this Piece quite a while ago.  I had an idea for a collage but when I drew it out on the background (chalk) I was't enamored.  I put the background aside and recently brought it back out again.  What I saw this time was totally different.  The background was done with a brayer; the tree ... a brush and a sponge; and the sun is actually collage.  A lot of different elements coming together to create simplicity.

BREAKTHROUGH

6 x 6 Mixed Media on Canvas

I used lots of background Texture on this piece.  I have to say, it started out as something totally different and this is where I wound up. I liked where it ended much better than where it started!   :)
  This piece is SOLD.

DECEMBER SONG FROM THE IDAHO STUDIO of CHARLEEN MARTIN






DECEMBER SONG

This is another Piece that I did using a Brayer, Palette Knife and Brush.  It's a fun technique to do because there is still an element of surprise (for me!) to the finished piece.  

5 x 7" on Textured Wood Panel

"Grace Transcendent", Original Mixed Media Painting, by Donna L. Martin

"Grace Transcendent"


This is an original mixed media painting that was a result of an online class by artist Kate Thompson called "Fractured Angels".  I was so nervous, taking an online class, but I ended up loving it.

Below is a photo of the "work in progress".


This painting was done on a 1.5" deep cradle board and measures 20 X 20.  It was created using acrylics, inks, paper, plaster, stencils, and molding paste.  She is finished and available to purchase.  Please send me a quick email if you have questions, comments, or are interested in purchasing.  I would love to hear from you!
