I took a few shots of this painting in progress so you could get an idea of the process. The first step (not shown) was to put on the texture by sculpting the petals using acrylic modeling paste.

The under painting on the background shows through in the final painting in varying degrees. You can see if you click on the finished painting to enlarge it, that my brush work is loose. I'm not trying to "stay inside the lines." I think it adds to the visual interest when there is movement and suggested forms.

Notice too, how the flower forms overlap one another, leaving varied and interesting negative space. Students often have a tendency to paint individual flowers that don't touch one another, ending with a stiff, unnatural arrangement.

No painting is safe hanging in the home of an artist! This large 24x48 painting has been hanging in my bedroom for two years. Actually, that was the previous incarnation of this painting. Originally, it had a dark brown, solid background. For two years, I've looked at it wondering what was wrong. Today I took it off the wall and said to myself, I don't like it and I'm either going to totally ruin it or make it better.

It had a coating of Soluvar varnish on it which I had to remove with mineral spirits before I could begin revamping the painting. Almost everything I did to it was on the background areas. I can't believe how much more vibrant and colorful it looks now. Amazing, really.

"ORIENTAL RED," 10129, daily painter textured poppy © Carol Nelson Fine Art

Another poppy painting. I love the intensity of these red poppies. They are actually slightly redder (less orange) than they are in these photos. If I increased the red tone in the photo, the background was not accurate, so this is a compromise.
As you might notice, I started out with a under painting of blues and purples, then overlayed it with beige, gray and green tones. The neutral background really makes the reds pop.This 36x18 original textured acrylic painting is available on my website. Click here for purchase information.

"ECHOES"

By Scottsdale Artist

PAT STACY

"ECHOES"

40' X 30"X 1.5" acrylic on canvas

Gallery wrap, black sides

"Echoes" is the fourth in the Metamorphosis series.

It embodies the warm colors, heavy texture, green and

copper accents and stamping with stamps I have made.

A painting hot off my easel last night, and one that would

have that warm and comfortable feel of the series.
