12 x 12 x 2" acrylic painting on Ampersand Gessoboard with Cradle
I experimented with acrylic drip florals on Venetian Plaster grounds in the Carolyn Riegelman workshop last week in Granbury. See previous post for more information.
See my online gallery HERE at Daily Paintworks.

Four Granbury friends, Pam Fritz, Jackie Stengle, Diana Littlejohn and Lynda Robinson are having a special show, Creative Innovations, at the Langdon Center Art Gallery until May 23, 2012 in Granbury, TX.

Pyrrole Red:
For the non artists, this is a color of a red paint and Carolyn loves it but no one in the class knew how to pronounce it....well, smart me I said I know how to spell it but not say it but I left out one R and added two L's.. and made a feeble attempt to educate the class with the Texas sound of "pie-rollie". Then Sharon, next to me in class, and I got to saying it with an Italian bent like Pie-roll-lay which sounded like something you might put on top of a plate of spaghetti. Now I couldn't stand not knowing and after coming home I've found out the correct pronunciation and can't wait to start dropping that name into all my art conversations. Click on that little speaker HERE and you can hear the correct way to say it but I still like my pie-rollie and I may have said it so long there will be no turning back. If Carolyn painted it, it probably has a little pyrrole red in there somewhere.

Beautiful Nancy and how neat to attach the correct pronuncation of the red! I can't spell it either!
Thanks for stopping by Cindy and we'll enjoy using pyrrole red even if we can't say it or spell it.
Hi Nancy, Looks like you are still on a roll, Do you ever take a break? lol fabulous painting of flowers...Love all that texture. I do have a question about cradles. Can you explain what this is and how it is done? I have send that you mentioned them in the past and forgot to ask.
I also enjoyed the speaker and saved it for later use. I would have never been able to say it either. If it is red I will always love it! hugs V
Vickie, it was suggested this week that I'm running from my kids as if they ever catch me, they will put me away!! lol...I've nearly overdone it this time and having to walk sideways in my house as I haven't had time to put up any workshop stuff and am painting papers for a new collage. Thanks for the "cradle" tip and I'll put more about it in next post. Google Ampersand Gessobord and it's a gessored masonite surrounded with wooden stips, 2" wide. No framing necessary. Also in flat panels and 3/4" depth. Heavy to mail but makes a nice presentation. Thanks again for the visit.
Thank you Nancy so much for sharing the info on cradles. I am always looking for presentation ideas. You have such a big heart my friend. Can you show us a photo of one of your works in a cradle?extra big hug. Vickie
btw, your kids will never catch up with you!
Vickie, yes..good idea.. I'll take a photo of one of the deep cradles, unpainted and painted and post. You can leave them natural wood and stain but I'm always messy and get drips on them which the panels could be covered with masking tape to prevent that. With these dark backgrounds I thought the edges might look better painted. There are days (if they stop by here unexpectedly that I think my kids would consider an intervention) lol..
