Waterworks - Original Oil Abstracton Paper by Marcy Brennan

Waterworks - 5"x7" oil abstract on paper - 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!

"Once Again" - New Abstract Acrylic Mini Series by Marcy Brennan

"Once Again" - Abstract Acrylic 8"x8"x1.5" Mini's - $40 each

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

I've provided a link to my Etsy shop that you can get to by clicking on each individual painting name.

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".

"Hoping" - 8" x 6" x 1.5" oil and cold wax on paper mounted to wood cradled panel - $50

I love the colors that came out in this piece and the nice composition that resulted from the oil and cold wax process.  Some things can be controlled in this process, but not everything, and for me, that's the beauty of working in this medium.  You never really know how things will end up!  It was originally worked on paper and then mounted on a 8"x6" cradled wood panel with 1.5" deep edges painted black.  It is ready to hang without a frame.

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!

"Fiesta" - New Abstract Painting Series by Marcy Brennan

Fiesta 1 - Acrylic on 36" x 36" Gallery Wrap Canvas - $1200

I had a blast painting this vibrant and colorful abstract series in a visit to my daughter's in the Atlanta area.  It was so wonderful having several days without my phone ringing or beeping with texts.  I think I need to leave town more often. ;-)  This is the first and largest in the series, all in the same color palette.  My daughter picked the teal and magenta colors which are both our favorites.  I named it Fiesta because all the bright and fun colors reminded me of fiestas I attended during my time in New Mexico.  This is on a 1.5" deep gallery wrap canvas with the edges painted white.
