Art Tour of My Paintings {My Art}

In my last post, I mentioned I finally began organizing my studio, which I put off doing for a year since the renovation left me with no time to paint. I now have a handful of commissions for paintings and am happy to be on the floor with a brush again!

If you are an interior designer or desire to collect

my work, I hope to post a small inventory soon.

Join me for a cyber gallery walk?

Here is a little art tour with examples of work sold

to private individuals, boutique owners, and designers.

Acrylic on canvas – lives with me

Abstract seascapes on canvas – SOLD/Splendid Avenue in Seattle, WA

Beach and water  lovers will be able to understand

how I never tire of creating seascapes.

There is nothing quite as humbling or relaxing

as being near the waves, and I try to capture

the essence of their mysterious mix of power and calm

with a minimum of brushstrokes and a

restrained palette of blues, greige, and white.

I went through a nightscape phase too.

panel by michele ranard #hellolovleystudio #midcenturymodern #townshend #typographyart:

my panel at home of photographer/artist Melissa James

In 2010, before the market was saturated with sign-age

and quote-art, I created typography and

edgy urban panels for our home.

My friends loved them so I began

creating them to sell at my shop and a few

boutiques in Chicagoland.

Typography panels on canvas – live with me

As the trend and the demand picked up for typography,

I received a ton of commissions for special song

lyrics and quotes and shipped these all

over the country as anniversary gifts, etc.

Thanks for joining me on the art tour.

I hope to list inventory in my shop

in the coming months along

with great vintage finds.

Next time, I will share mixed media

collages I create on vintage discarded

book covers which incorporate my

love of poetry and the written word.

Peace to you right where you are.

    Your work is beautiful! So soothing and peaceful. I also love your typography. One thing that is unusual that I love is how you carry some letters of a word down to another line. I would have thought it wouldn't look good, but it sure does! Thanks for sharing with Share Your Cup.
    hugs,
