Kelly's Art for the week

Finger painted this piece with oil, second time I have worked with oil and love the glide.
It's been fun just playing with different styles these last few weeks. Amazing if you let one's mind go what it can create.  Just letting it flow and see what happens to the canvas




This canvas has taken forever and after a conversation that effected me, I began thinking and planning the canvas, something I have never done and probably sure I won't do it again. Planning almost makes creating the canvas a real problem, I am more about intuitive art and how things happening are effecting me.  This was truly a good lesson for me.

Grinding down the soils and rocks I found in within a 300 mile radios of my home. Oh so many soils and rocks.   I manage to create this piece using my ground pigments, gum arabic and a bit of water. Did use Cochineal Bug for red and Indigo Plant for the blues. This is a small piece so will adventure to a larger one. Back to grinding.

Decided I would create on small canvas my holiday's I have ventured on. Wonderful memories and so many amazing places. I am sure I will never be able to paint them all. But this is a beginning.

Remember if your in Kamloops join me for Saturday Morning Art with Kelly C Perry  9:30 - 12:30 drop ins more than welcome. Classes have been small but coffee, tea, goodies and conversation are good. Hope to see you there one day.

 Piece I started Saturday after a day I should have stayed in bed. However the day got better so now looking forward to seeing the end result. Letting my mind paint what it feels at the moment for me is so amazing and often makes me wonder.  What a voice.
 "Angel" Created in Memory of a very special lady I had the opportunity to spend time with. Her journey and seeing the Angels, that kept her safe on her journey. I captured her story before I had heard it.   Life can be so amazing and the mind so strong.
 "Arrival"   My story of the Siberians arriving into Canada, the journey  so difficult.
 "After Paris"  This piece and the sad stories around Christmas time, made me not want to paint the way I normally do. So I began my journey on creating a new style or at least trying it out. I wanted to create something beautiful out of the negative things that were happening and facing us each day.
"ARLO"    I painted this for my little grandson while I was there. I am hoping he will enjoy my new style for many years to come.
"Hidden Works" Series      "Life"   Created during my journey of healing after a loss, art became the words I felt but could not say.  Art is such a powerful tool if we allow it to be, art created my recovery. I have been truly grateful for finding the gift I did not realize was within me.
