This contemporary abstract painting is on a heavily textured stretched canvas. 
I used a cross (one of my favorites) composition and split complementary colors of blue, purple and orange to achieve a nice glow. I painted with a knife to get even more texture and very subtle color changes.

I was always fairly mystified about the process of painting an abstract, but I am finding that it is much like any other artwork.  You must have a composition, a point of interest,  color interaction and contrast.

"Study in Blue" by Terry Honstead


This is a 24 x 18 mixed media piece that is mostly acrylic.  I added several blues and mixed them with whites and poured and let them mix again on the board.  This was a fun way to start a painting.  When I was satisfied with that, I added darks and whites where I thought it needed.  I was going to add some collage to it at this point, but I liked it too much the way it is now, so I decided to leave it the way it was.  If you would like to see more of my work or purchase a print, you can find them at :  terry-honstead.artistwebsites.com/  or email me at:  honstead@paulbunyan.net.

"Sprite" Contemporary Painting By Donna Holdsworth

This painting is done on 12x12 textured canvas.  Acrylic paints and mediums used.  Cloudy, rainy day today, which makes for a difficult photo.  Looks like Leada and I were painting along the same wavelength!  Link:  Donna Holdsworth Contemporary Art.  Thank you!

Spirit Wind by Leada Wood

Spirit Wind ©Leada Wood All Rights Reserved

This is acrylic on canvas, 16x20, with multiple layers of gels, metal foils, tissue paper, cheese cloth and whatever else the painting calls for. This is a very intuitive way to paint, just layer, upon layer, creating wonderful textures and letting your imagination run wild, then realing things in while adding colors and bringing your creation to completion.

"LADY G" 11034, daily painter original textured portrait collage © Carol Nelson Fine Art








I named this painting LADY G after Lady Gaga. It doesn't really look like her, but the flamboyant hair and outfit looks just like something you would see Lady Gaga wearing.

The painting has the everything plus the kitchen sink. Many different mediums, including gel "skins" for the facial features, and lots of texture.

This painting will replace the one I brought to Brushstrokes Gallery in Denver for the Artists of Colorado Show. The original painting, Canyon Colors, sold before the show opened. Woo-hoo!

For more information on this painting, please here to go to my website.

"Totems" by Leada Wood

"Totems" by Leada Wood © Mixed Media
This painting is 16X20 acrylic, collage and mixed media. There are symbols mingled throughout the painting, some obviouse, some sublimenal and some just appeared. I had a dream before the new year began about the number 11. It was such a startling dream, more like a vision so I did a lot of research on symbols. I began a series of paintings with symbols intergrated into them. This is the first in my series.

"Under His Wing" by Leada Wood


"Under His Wing" (C) Leada Wood 2010 Mixed Media Collage

12 X 24 inch mixed media collage on crescent illustration board. I layered textures with gac and modeling paste then painted with liquid acrylics, using stamps and embossing to embelish some of the texture. I then collaged white feathers, one at a time to create the wing. There is a lost and found message throughout the painting. This painting was done for the Angels We Have Heard On High exhibit, at the Heritage Museum in Big Springs Texas, opening December 4th, reception at 4 PM. It is a collecion of angel paintings by the Caboose Watercolor Society. We would love to have you stop by if you are in the area! The exhibit will run until January 11th, 2011.
