Giverny "Remastered" by Marcy Brennan

Giverny "Remastered" - 18"x12"x1.5" gallery wrap canvas - $150

I started out doing an abstract on this canvas that turned into a rose garden that turned into water lilies!  Talk about transformations ;-)  The theme for Sep 2014 in Art Mundo's underground gallery is "Remastered".  Artists were invited to re-create an old master's work.  Since this painting had already sort of morphed into water lilies, I decided to take a look at one of Monet's water lily paintings for which he was famous.  I then used his color palette for this painting.  I really like the way it turned out.  This photo was taken under flourescent lights with my iphone, so a better one will replace it after the show is over.

If you buy this painting, it will be shipped after Oct 1st.

Abstract landscape painted from photos of my day at Hackberry Hammock.  This is oil on gessoed Bristol paper done with palette knife (no brushes).  My goal was to make this as bright and colorful as I remembered from the wonderful day I spent there and I think I managed to do that!

Lettuce Lake, Tampa, Florida by Marcy Brennan

Lettuce Lake, Tampa, FL - 5" x 7" oil on canvas panel

This is a view from a small tower set out over the edge of Lettuce Lake, a beautiful state park in north Tamps, FL. I was there visiting my brother for  his birthday in February - we had wonderful, spring-like weather, and the azaleas were out in full force at the park entrance.  I took dozens of photos, but this one scene really spoke to me.  I did this with a palette knife - no brushes, so there's lots of thick, juicy paint on this one.

My sister-in-law home schools their son, and he's been interested in photography for quite a long time.  She brings him here each month to photograph the changes in the lake and foliage.  What a wonderful idea!  Many daily painters I've seen paint the same scene they see from their home or studio each day to capture the changing weather, etc.  I hope they keep it up.  It would make great art for a calendar for 2013.  I would want one for sure!
