Bubble Wrap Art

I am trying new things with texture. This is my new "Bubble Wrap" series. I love the texture for layer this creates. This series is brush, palette, squeeze bottle, and bubble wrap on stretched canvas. You might notice a bit of shimmer with gold metallic.

FYI-I was a mad painter today!!!!!!!! Love those days. I started my new series and created two gifts for wonderful people. I must have been inspired by all the wonderful new friends I met at the show yesterday.

September Paintings







I painted a lot this week. I found some inspiration from talking to people at school. I always get great ideas talking to people. I don't always act on them immediately, but people are my one of my greatest sources for ideas and inspiration.

An Art Deal with a Lady in a Black Van in a Parking Lot

Yes, I am now selling art in parking lots from my van...and yes, I was wearing sunglasses, but no baseball cap. I know it sounds shady, but it really wasn't. It was actually quite funny.

This a picture of Peg with her purchases; she a wonderful art lover I met at the Elkhart Arts In Bloom. Peg contacted me about a painting she wanted to give as the perfect gift, a cityscape of Chicago. I met her in the Amish Acres parking lot to give her the painting. My van was loaded for my next show. She ended up looking and buying two more paintings, plus she ordered another. We had a few chuckles and both left happy and full of art!!!
