SNOWMEN - Folk Art Paintings w/ Mixed Media

These 12x12 canvases are so FUN to paint! AND it really puts me in a Good Mood for the coming Snowy Months! We usually get a good dose of Frigid temps AND Snow, and in the right Frame of mind, it can be quite delightful and cozy.  Nothing is better than painting in my little Art Room, while the Snow flies by the Giant Pine Tree outside my window.

So, Let it Snow!!!

These images will be reporduced on Tote Bags, Cards and Boxes for my upcoming local sale, but if U cant make it to Columbus this November 5, LMK if U would like a print or reproduction!!!

Sunday Baroque & Wild Flowers - FOLK ART paintings

Sugared Coneflower - Abstract Folk Art Painting - Do Not eat it!

This Coneflower is covered in shimmery Mica flakes and ultrafine embossing glitter.  I cant get it to show up in the pic without distorting the photo! Any suggestions???  The actual view is SO yummy, a guilt free Candy Treat!

This is what I've been working on -

These paintings are of my Dream Girl Collection and 2 Folk Art Flowers I intend to take to my next Sale.  Matching printed Jewel Boxes and Tote Bags will look really Splashy at my booth. 

The Dream Girls are doing pretty well on eBay.  I am SO happy to have SALES! But I also need to take about a half dozen of these to the Sale, so when one is gone it has to be replaced.  So, I gotta get back to work - PLEASE feel free to COMMENT on any Post, or contact me at admin@loralai.com or loryia.bond@gmail.com !!

Abstract FOLK ART Flowers

Let me tell you, these little doozies were ALOT harder to paint than I thought they'd be! Dont kids finger-paint flowers when they are like 4 years old? Well, kudos to the kiddos, because I felt like crying several times.  Then I got all flustered and wanted to give up and start a whole new canvas, so I pulled a new one out and promptly poked a big hole in it just trying to get the plastic packing off of it.  Luckily, my hubby was able to restretch a new canvas on the frame, so all was not lost.  But These may be the last of the Abstract Folk Flowers.  OK Maybe one more. 

Then I'm painting another Mermaid for Amy.

Man Do I LOVE these DREAM GIRLS - Mixed Media Doll Fairies

I Think that I shall never See

a Poem Lovely as a Tree

I just love that poem.  Sappy me, I actually get teary eyes when I read it. Its true.  This Dream Girl is another that I am just totally happy with. Are you? Beeswax sealed, lots of interest, poetry, lovely colors, even some gold leaf.  Dreamy.

2 Mermaid Paintings for Amy

These are titled 'Someday My Prince will Come'

and 'Siren and the Seahorse'

I went outside on the patio to take these pics. There just is no substitute for Natural light.  The 'bubble' has been enhanced with additional shading per the buyers request.  I am alway open to suggestion, and since I paint like 8 hours a day, plus Internet time, I sometimes get lost in the 'forest'.  I am also working on some more abstract stuff, and therefore jump from one style to the next.  But my idea was to leave the Castle totally bright and visible, but this is fine too.

Wanted to do some dark hair, as it contrasts nicely with the sea colors.  My own hair changes color alot too. :)
