Let's Get Colorful by Marcy Brennan

Let's Get Colorful - 8" x 8" acrylic on canvas panel - SOLD

This painting is my submission for this month to the Let's Paint New Mexico blog.  I started this painting in my normal way, with brushes, and just wanted thicker paint, so worked it over with my palette knife and extra heavy glossy gel medium.  I like the movement the palette knife created in this piece.  Zinnias are multi-layered flowers and this technique really lent itself to painting them.  The flowers on the right are small sunflowers.

Vintage Dream Camper - Adobe Kitchen by Marcy Brennan

Vintage Dream Camper - Adobe Kitchen - 5" x 7" watercolor on paper - SOLD - BUY A PRINT HERE

This is #5 in my vintage dream camper series.  The shape of this little beauty really reminded me of the shape of adobe style houses, and so I decided to do it up in a New Mexican theme.  I lived in NM int he late 80s/early 90s, and still miss everything about it!  I incorporated many of the things I love about NM into this little treasure:  hollyhocks, sunflowers, chile ristra, hanging garlics, horno oven, hot air balloon, serape curtains, a little mini-ladder (vs steps) up into the camper, and the cowboy's best-loved coking tool - the dutch oven.  And last but certainly not least--the mountains.  They are what I miss the most about NM. ;-)

Tuscan Sunflowers by Marcy Brennan

12" x 16" oil on 1.5" deep gallery canvas

Sunflowers are my daughter's favorite flowers so I painted this for her and just never ended up giving it to her.  That's OK, she has lots of my other paintings! ;-)
