"Daphne", Original Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin

 

Daphne




12”x12”

Original Art

Watercolor Batik and Acrylic Ink collaged on to a gallery depth canvas. 

Daphne realized she wasn’t like the others.  She tried to fit in, but she was quieter than the others and her colors were just a little “off”.   She never quite felt accepted, even though she had big dreams and she was smart.  Then Daphne met Theo.  Theo was an elephant whose colors were also a little “off”.  The other elephants teased Theo and nicknamed him “Psychadelepant”, which hurt Theo terribly.  Daphne and Theo became lifelong friends and the best part, is that they accepted each other unconditionally.  Through each other’s eyes, they also learned to accept themselves, just as they were.  Perfectly imperfect.

Daphne now lives in Canada with her new owner, but commissions are welcome.  Feel free to contact me and I would love to hear from you!

"The Circle of Life", Original Mixed Media/Encaustic Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin

The Circle of Life



I can finally share this piece!  I think it's become one of my favorites.  This was a commission piece for my husband's sweet Aunt.  She loves butterflies and she had seen another piece that I had completed last year and asked if I would create something along the same lines for her.  Although this didn't turn out to be an exact replica of the piece I created before, I love this one even more.  It is lighter and more luminescent than the other was.  I added 5 butterflies representing her "original family".  Now, the family has evolved and transformed, with the blessing of grandchildren and spouses.  I feel like this painting symbolizes the evolution of life...how it can change and become even more beautiful than we ever dreamed possible.







I used a vintage handkerchief for the background.  I also added some spackling paste for texture and depth.




I added various paints and inks.  Finally, I finished it off with a layer of encaustic wax to give it that dreamy effect.

This painting has found its way home, but I am open to commissions.  Feel free to contact me at:

"Breathe", Original Abstract Mixed Media Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin

"Breathe"




This is a small, original mixed media/abstract piece that I just completed.  These abstract works cause me to stretch and reach beyond my comfort zone, which I think is a good thing.  I am still learning and growing within this style, but I love it so much.

This painting is available.  It is an 8 X 8, mounted on a 1.5" deep cradle board.  Feel free to contact me at saltlightwatercolors@yahoo.com with any questions or comments.

Noah's Ark Tray by Dottie Martz




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.
