PNW Fall- Painting Some 'Shroomz

I am not sure if the dry painting is going to hold the image, so this is another painting that may move from this moment. This one is so fun.

The original photo:

Also, my husband says we have too many paintings! LOL. 

PNW Fall

Having a little trouble photographing this. I definitely need better lighting. Still thoroughly enjoying pours... they are tough though!

And, a bit of a close up to show the depth.

Zen of the Thermal at Yellowstone

 I like how this turned out. For some reason the photos I took from when I visited Yellowstone didn't really turn out, but this tells the story. It was really beautiful to see the water, with basically no one else around. A great trip, and classic visit to the mountain west. 

Commission for a ... Bathroom

My mom picked a very demanding wallpaper for the guest bathroom at my parents house, and has been struggling to decorate the room, so I wanted to paint something that would calm the space down a bit.

This is very abstract, but it really seems to go quite well in the bathroom. When I thought about the design I realized it the room needed a very specific red. I also thought about a relief of vegetation from another world or from the tropics as the style. 

And with this second photo, you can tell I'm not a home-style expert. Though, I suppose that might have been given away some time ago. 

Skyline of Moran, Wyoming

I enjoyed doing a pour for the skyline. Real colors, too! However... this painting is not going to last. I was being experiential and used paperboard, which is not going to last. 

Early Fall, PNW

This painting no longer exists in real life, and was moving a bit even when the photo was taken so this is a moment captured and gone. I tried on trick too many and put some real plant matter onto it, to try to get leaf impressions. Instead, it glopped into a sticky mess. I also got green paint on the rug in the dining room, don't tell anyone! Anyway, I did love it for this brief moment. 
 

Spooky... Frog?

 I was aiming for a haunted building, but fluid acrylics are interesting in that they keep moving after you are done and want them to just look like what you did. Any subtle kant to the surface you are working on and all things change. This ended up looking a bit like a spooky frog, rather than an abstract of a spooky building, which is what I was going for. Interesting that it came away strange regardless.
