Sister Dance

Sister Dance - 8x10, Mixed Media on Canvas

Here's my latest painting, Sister Dance.  I'm in love with the little piece of vintage music that I've added to the older girl's bow.  For some reason it feels a like it's a little secret, even though it's right there in plain sight.  Just makes me smile inside a little.

I really made an effort to make this piece very texturey.  Is that a word?  No. Ok, full of texture, this one is.  (Now I sound like Yoda.)

Many thanks to Ron McCabe for the wonderful word-smithing:

Limon - Color A Day #35

Sisters (Double Vision) by Alisa Proctor

As I was looking for color inspiration today, I stumbled across a little painting that I did a year or so ago.  It was just a small 5×7 in. piece, and it sold quickly.  I had sort of forgotten about it; out of sight, out of mind.  So amid my hard-drive wanderings, searching for color inspiration I caught a thumbnail glimpse of this little painting…and it made me smile.  Because, I really like this little mixed media piece.  I am enamored with the colors I managed to put together.  Honestly, it was unplanned, happy-accident color mixing that went into this creation.   That yellow-green mixture is so cheerful.  And I think it’s made all the better with the darker teal in the lower right.  That teal is probably my favorite color of them all.  But,  I’ll highlight the teal another day.   Today I’m especially loving that tart and perky lime/lemon mix….Limon.   Pucker up, sister.
There it is then:  Color A Day #35 – Limon

Proverb: Think Payback

This week's Illustration Friday.com topic is: Proverb.  So, I present my illustration of the Chinese Proverb, "A bit of fragrance clings to the hand that gives flowers."  

To me this is less about the business of it being better to give than to receive....and more about, well, payback.   Sometimes things are reciprocal, and you get back a little of whatever you give.
