Red Books Burning

Acrylic with some newspaper on Canvas 16" x 20"
This piece reminds me of the controversies over books and the burnings that have gone on to detroy them.....it also reminds me of the Holocaust for some reason......probably because of the fire and the fact that the newspaper clippings are from a German newspaper.

More Miniatures

Just a few more pieces from the Miniature Art Show....teensy itty bitty paintings!

Not Your Ordinary Sunset

Acrylic and Gel Medium on Masonite 5" x 7"
I love sunsets and find them to be extremely beautiful and serene. However, I felt like spicing this one up a bit with the random texture and motion from the clear tar gel......makes it "not so ordinary".

Underwater Rain

Acrylic on Cavas Panel 8"x10"
This piece originally began as an abstract of just colors. But as it progressed it reminded me of a city underwater....almost like the kingdom out of The Little Mermaid.

Just seems like a cute small piece of art to hang in a small spot, or put on a window sill to remind us that love is international!
