Star of Texas, "Nest Among the Stars", Arlington Museum of Art Project

#starofTexas Front "Nest Among the Stars" Acrylic on fiberglass sculpture 6' x 6'

#starofTexas Back "Nest Among the Stars" Acrylic on fiberglass sculpture 6' x 6' 

The Third Degree group of collaborative painters, Connie Michael, Karen Foster and I finished "Nest Among the Stars" 9/22/2015 and now it awaits a clearcoat before being installed in downtown Arlington, to be auctioned off in 3 years. This is one of 20 stars for Arlington, the American Dream City, a public art project to promote the city with the Arlington Museum of Art. 

Our small group has had so much fun painting this expressive floral that we are now painting on a large 48"x48" canvas with variations of this design for commission work. 

Our star and paintings are painted with professional acrylic paints and Home Depot in north Arlington provided some of the Behr paints we used on the star. Thank you Lenny Gaspard, district manager for all your support.

Acrylic Mixed Media Painting, Floral, One for the Stars by Texas Artist Nancy Standlee

One for the Stars
20x20x3/4"
acrylic mixed media
First post in awhile and I'd like to share some projects. This is the newest acrylic mixed media painting and the flowers have lots of texture, and the 3/4" sides are painted a gray. It is a prototype of a large 6ft star that two friends and I are working on for a city wide art project. We three began work today on a 48"x48" piece similar to the painting above and we will be taking commissions. More to come.
Our first star that I will discuss will be unveiled Thursday and painted by the Canvas by Canvas group and I'll post it and mention more about the process.
