Comments By The Artist: I am just 63 years old wednesday and started painting about 6 months ago…having never painted before..( which I think shows!) I had done years ago, some decoy carving after a course I took but don’t do it any more.
The painting I will send is my 8th one and I hope my best so far. It is of a flowerpot on a mail box support from a photograph I took a month ago just down my road. It is on a 12 X 16 canvasboard and was originally intended as just a study piece.
I paint with a buddy who is a fairly accomplished painter and we almost always do the same pieces. I have never sold anything and he doesn’t sell very much but we do enjoy the camaraderie of painting together …..and some low-level competition!..lol.
It is in acrylic although I hope someday to try watercolour which I really am fascinated by. I haven’t signed or titled this painting or in fact many of the others…right now they are all stacked in the corner of my room in fact although my wife deems this one worthy of framing and putting on the wall!!
I have a ‘blog-site’ where I post my pictures as they are completed for friends and family to view as many of them are thousands of miles away. I would be absolutely delighted if you would feature them sometime on your site…..I really enjoy and use your site as much as I can and have found it quite helpful in the past.

Title: “My Angel” (My Daughter Stepheny)
Dimensions: 16×20
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Website: http://myspace.com/happee2bme
Comments By The Artist: This is my very first portrait painting I attempted (daughter, Stepheny). I began painting with acrylics earlier this year, and I LOVE IT! I used to draw as a child and recently felt there was something more creative inside of me. My daughter has been a blessing and an angel to me and I feel that love has shown through in this painting. I have now done some florals, seascapes, and others will be coming. I hope to make this not just a hobby but a living in doing what I love, and by selling paintings, I hope that others can also be touched by that love that I put into the creations.

Comments By The Artist: The seed idea for this painting came from a vision and I found the way to express it after visiting Bok Sanctuary in Lake Wales, FL. I felt connected to nature and expansive and I hope that that feeling comes through in the piece.

Comments By The Artist: I was really drawn to this image, I saw it on a horse rescue calendar. I contacted the publisher of the calendar and got the name of the owner of the image, and received permission to paint it. I changed the background, and added color to the horses coat and repositioned the horse on the canvas.

Location: Treadwell, NY
Title: “Inside The Box”
Website: www.mariecummings.net
Comments About This Painting: “Inside The Box” is fifth in my box series. It was originally something totally different. A painting that was not working so I decided to make it part of the series. I covered the old painting with gesso leaving some of the original by scraping some of the gesso off the paper. The diamonds are gel beads. I cut the stencil out of contact paper and repeated the shape with paint. I blocked out the yellow line across the top with torn pieces of blue painters tape. The other colors were made with successive layers of Golden Fluid Acrylic paints. I keep layering the colors letting them dry between layers. The lines at the top and the bottom were done with corrugated board. I defined some of the shapes in the middle by gradating them. There is no collage in this painting. This painting is a process which is how I work. It took months to complete.
