Original art on 18x13 metal tray. Painted for a competition that I was juried into for the Decorative Painters Society several years ago.. I painted this tray in acrylics. It is my version of what happened that day.
I am now painting exclusively in oils. Yes, you can paint a metal tray in oils...just takes a VERY long time to dry as there is no absorbency! I must admit, though, I do think acrylics are best for metal trays. I have painted animals, flowers, landscapes, etc. on metal trays ans sold them all.
When I say I am painting in oils these days...it is because I am painting still life. I love painting flowers and such and I think it shows in my work. I belong to FPDP - the Fresh Paint Daily Painters, CFAI - Contemporary Fine Artists International, OPA - Oil Painters of America and WPSE - Women Painters of the Southeast, where in fact, there is a show that I was juried in at Corse Gallery in Jacksonville, Fl the 23rd of this month (April). I also was juried into a 21st Annual International Miniature Art Show, in Nags Head, NC. I submitted three small paintings and one sold before the show started!
Please check my website for further paintings. I also do commission work and gladly give quotes.
