Stories of the Sea - Original Oil Abstract by Marcy Brennan

Stories of the Sea - Original Abstract Oil - SOLD

I painted a series of oil abstracts several years ago for our local art association fundraiser called Calendart.  This is an especially appropriately named painting for what we are going through on Florida's east coast with Hurricane Matthew approaching us.  

And at the same time, I'm under the weather and won't be feeling much like painting for awhile.  So my posts for awhile will be of these Calendart paintings that I've never posted before.

I really loved these painting and am kicking myself for not getting a good hi-res scan of them for prints.  Unfortunately, they were all just iPhone photos.  Live and learn!

Thunderhead - Original Acrylic on Paper by Marcy Brennan

Thunderhead - 14" x 11" Acrylic on Paper - $80

When I'm out plein air painting in the fall and winter, I always gets lots of photos to paint from during the summer in the studio when it's too hot to go out and paint on site.  This is painted from a photo of a big thunderhead.  The sky was so dramatic, I decided to keep the rest of the painting a bit quieter.

"Flip Flop Weather" - New Oil and Cold Wax Series by Marcy Brennan

"Flip Flop Weather" - New Oil and Cold Wax Series

I created this new series about two months ago for Delray Beach's Cornell Museum of Art & Culture Third Annual Extraordinary 6x6 Art Sale.  The show begins July 1, 2016 and remains on exhibit the month of July, culminating in the sale of the works on Thursday, July 28, 2016 from 6-8 pm.

I had decided that I would create oil and cold wax paintings in my normal abstract style, but as I began painting, I decided to go with a tropical look, so abstracted palm trees and pink flowers took over.  I used Liquid on top to give the paintings a nice sheen.  The paintings are on cradled wood panels and the sides and back are painted black.  They are wired and ready to hang without a frame.

The museum is located at 51 N. Swinton Ave, Delray Beach, FL.  If you're in the area, I hope you can be there for the sale the evening of July 28th.

Here are the paintings I created which I titled, Flip Flop Weather.  It was still cold and windy in March when I painted these little guys and I was dreaming of warm weather when I could again wear my flip flops and shorts.  (Yes it gets too cold for us wimpy Floridians to wear flip flops during some of the winter months in our area.)

What about you?  What does the temperature have to be for you to wear flip flops?

Feel free to share on Facebook and Twitter and Pin the pictures (but please give me proper credit).

Sun Bathers by Marcy Brennan

Sun Bathers - 12"x12" acrylic on canvas - NFS

When I was looking through my photos of beach scenes I'd taken in the past, I came across this one of North Beach that I've used on my real estate website for several years.  I wanted a beach scene to paint as a wedding gift for a young lady I've known since she was a little girl -- my previous pastor's daughter.  They've since moved to Kentucky and a different church, but this young lady fell in love before they left and now they are getting married and she'll be living in Florida again!  Her whole family lived close to the beach and spent lots of time there during the many years they lived on the Treasure Coast.  So happy for Katy and Smith and wish them many happy years together.  Hope they enjoy this painting for a very long time!

Shoreline by Marcy Brennan

30" x 40" x 1.5" acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas - $1200

This has so many of the colors of our inlet shoreline in it and the way some of the area looked like falling water, it reminded me of the waves coming in against the shoreline.
