Orchid Series, Blue Square 12069, Mixed Media Abstract Acrylic Painting by Texas Artist Nancy Standlee

Orchid Series with a Blue Square, 12069

10x10 x 7/8 in. depth wood cradle

This series of paintings have been experiments with orchids, purples, blues with orange and red highlights, small paintings that used a Venetian Plaster foundation on canvas and board. I like working on the above foundation on American Easel Birchwood because you can work thick with the texture without danger of the pieces cracking or falling off. Click HERE to read a description about the wood cradles at Dick Blick. I also like the Ampersand Gessobords HERE.

Here are two other paintings in the series that are on my Daily Paintworks gallery.

Kimbell Museum reminder:

The Age of Impressionism exhibit will be up until June 17. Click HERE for more info. I went on Friday and saw paintings I've only read about in books and it was such a treat to see them up as close as I dared with the security guards making sure your nose didn't invade the painting space. 

My friend Carol Nelson, Colorado will be in Texas:

Carol Nelson will be at the LGAA the last of May for her Experimental Acrylic Class and the last I heard there was a spot open. My first workshop with Carol I flew to Denver to take a 2 day then she was in Granbury last year and now this is a 4 day and it will be filled with new and exciting acrylic techniques. She is also teaching at the Artists Showplace in Dallas in October so if you need some new touches to your paintings, join Carol.
