"Candle Fire" 12x12 Acrylic on Gessobord, PPF

This week I am continuing to paint with Fluorescent Neon acrylics, but of course you cannot see the effects without a black light! Impasto technique, thick paint, applied with a palette knife.  Happy PPF!

Auction on DPW: "Candle Fire"

12x12 Acrylic on Gessobord

12x12 Candle Fire. Abstract Acrylic on Gessobord, painted for a challenge on DPW. I started painting an innocent candle for the challenge, but then the wind picked up and the flames started to get away from me, causing the room to erupt in a raging inferno, at least in my mind. Living in Southern California we are always aware of fire danger. Never leave a candle burning without watching it very carefully. In fact, I have electric candles, just to be safe.

B-I-N-G-O

http://www.ebay.com/itm/350745642236?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649One of my favorites from my childhood was a little song we sang about a dog named Bingo.  Each time you sang the verse, you left out a letter so it became, ??? I N G O, etc.  This is my version of BINGO the Dog.  9 x 12 Acrylic on Masonite Board.  Original, not a print.

"LITTLE NANCY ETTICOAT"

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ACEO-Little-Nancy-Etticoat-Abstract-Painting-NFAC-Mar-2013-Acrylic-Orig-/350745644531?pt=Art_Paintings&hash=item51aa11cdf3 ABSTRACT acrylic painting - size: ACEO, (2.5 x 3.5 inches) - represents a little rhyme that we used to chant called "Little Nancy Etticoat" which I did not know meant CANDLE until I was much older.  "Little Nancy Etticoat. In a white petticoat, And a red nose. The longer she stands. The shorter she grows."  I also did not know that the abstract I painted had a candle in it until after it was finished.  So it seemed to fit.

"HUSH LITTLE BABY . . . SLEEP BABY SLEEP"

http://www.ebay.com/itm/350745620669?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Watercolor ACEO, (2.5 x 3.5 inches) of a sleeping baby fits a couple of them:

Thy mama shakes the dreamland tree, And from it fall sweet dreams for thee,

Sleep, baby, sleep."
