Blue Margarita - Original Acrylic Painting by Marcy Brennan

"Blue Margarita" - Acrylic on 20"x20" gallery canvas - $350

Cocktails come in such pretty colors and have interesting names.  This is the second in my cocktail series of attracts, the first being Pink Martini.  My first blue margarita was in our favorite restaurant in Albuquerque years ago called 505.  I fell in love with blue margaritas and can make a pretty great one now myself.  It's my all time favorite cocktail.  ;-)

See the collage below to see how cool these paintings look all together!

These would look fabulous in a black floater frame in a set of four as shown in the collage.

They would also look great with just one on a small black table easel or hung on a small wall that needs a little pop of color.

All edges are painted black and each painting is wired and can be hung without a frame.

"Pink Martini" Acrylic on Canvas by Marcy Brennan

Pink Martini - 30"x30" Acrylic on Canvas - $750

If you love color as much as I do, then you will LOVE this painting! I was listening to a great new station (to me) on Pandora while painting this called Pink Martini.  It's eclectic and kind of old fashioned French, Italian and piano bar music.  I'd already bought these luscious new magenta colors, so the name simply had to be "Pink Martini".

Purchase original and prints here.

Coffee and a Kind bar at our favorite gelato place, Uncle Carlo's. 

Then I'm going to the studio to finish a new 30"x30" acrylic abstract. 

Stay tuned!!

New for spring - works in progress

My palette and one of the two new paintings in progress. 

I use all Golden acrylics professional artist quality paints except for the white paint you see. I just love the viscosity of the Basics white paint. It's too luscious not to use and mixes so well with the Golden paints.

Hoping to finish these this weekend for the new Loft Gallery show going up for next Wednesday's Art Walk.

"Ancient Ruins" - Acrylic Painting on Canvas by Marcy Brennan

Ancient Ruins - 30"x30"x1.5" Acrylic on Canvas - $750

This began as a totally abstract painting and some ruins emerged as I painted it!

I used to live in New Mexico, and my husband and I visited many ancient Anasazi ruins.

As this painting progressed, it began to remind me of these ruins, thus the name for the piece,

Ancient Ruins.

This was painted on a 1.5" deep gallery wrapped canvas with the edges painted black.

It is wired and ready to hang with or without a frame.

Sea Glass II by Marcy Brennan

Sea Glass II - Acrylic on 20" x 16" x 1.5" gallery wrap canvas - $350

This is the second in my sea glass abstract series.

I have a whole bowl of sea glass in my home in these colors.

My earliest memory of color goes back to the age of three when I first

laid eyes on colorful depression glass.

So I've always had a fascination with all types of colorful glass.

Have you collected any sea glass?

What are you favorite colors to collect?

Sea Glass III by Marcy Brennan

Sea Glass III - Acrylic on 12" x 12" x 1.5" gallery wrap canvas - $150

This is the third in my sea glass series and I love the texture and colors in it!

I wanted a bit of tension in this so I added the complement of blue--orange--to the

cool colors of the blues and greens I think of when I think of sea glass.

I looked up which sea glass colors are the rarest or toughest to find,

and orange is on that list.

This series has inspired me to go through my collection of sea glass

and make a pair of earrings and maybe a bracelet!

Have you made any sea glass jewelry for yourself?

Sea Glass I by Marcy Brennan

Sea Glass I - Acrylic on 20" x 16" x 1.5" gallery wrap canvas - $350

One of my very favorite things is sea glass!  I Googled how sea glass is formed, and this is what I found:

1. "Sea glass is originally made by man (bottles and jars) but refined by nature to become smooth frosty beach found gems. Sea glass begins as bottles & glass that get tossed on the shore, broken, and then tumbled smooth by the waves and currents."
   
   So something made by one person to be something useful, then tossed away by another person as something useless, becomes something to be found by yet another person and kept as a treasure.  The circle of life in a piece of glass ;-)

Finished Serengeti Series by Marcy Brennan

 

Here they are all finished!  They are each 16"x20"x1.5" acrylic on gallery wrap canvas - $350 each

I posted my first few layers in my previous post.  These have a few more layers on them.  I did lots of drips, turning the canvases both vertical and horizontal.  I love how the drips give the surface a quality almost like alligator skin.  I guess they're called crocodiles in Africa!  I found a great sunset photo of the Serengeti plains, and it gave me the color palette for this painting.  The first painting is in the Art Mundo loft show entitled "Serengeti" on display there through Sep 2nd.  It's a wonderful show with a lot of artists represented with really nice and varied works/styles.

New Serengeti Abstract Series in Progress by Marcy Brennan

New Serengeti Abstract Series in Progress

I just began a new series today for the Art Mundo Loft Gallery show coming up next month titled "Serengeti".  There are such fantastic sunsets on the Serengeti, I decided to do my abstract paintings in the sunset colors there. Reds, oranges, yellows, and black (for silhouetted trees).  Here are photos of the first few layers at this point.  More to come in the next few days. The black lines in the first layer are really intense because I forgot my black paint and had to borrow from a friend.  All she had was black gesso - it's really strong!

First layer:
