thinking in a different direction for a change. &amp;nbsp;I've never painted on cradled panels before, but these neat looking little "boxes" were so appealing, that I bought all 8 of them. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;I'm just wondering what your thoughts are on cradled panels. &amp;nbsp;I know that encaustic artists are partial to these panels because of the hard surface. &amp;nbsp;But, if you're a painter, do you prefer the hard surface to the flexibility of canvas?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

is to get back into painting after a long hiatus away from the studio. &amp;nbsp;Today, I found some renewed motivation at my local Michael's store. &amp;nbsp;I've been thinking about painting on cradled panels and when I walked through the art section of the store, I found that they had marked almost all their cradled panels to a low clearance price. &amp;nbsp;I quickly picked up 8 new panels and now can't wait to get started on them! &amp;nbsp;Yesterday I ordered Matisse Flow Acrylics from Jerry's Artarama and I know that as soon as my order comes in, I'll be raring to get started. &amp;nbsp;Nothing like opening up a box of new art supplies to get the creative juices flowing again! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Now, my next project is to find space in my studio for all the new "toys"!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I hope you'll &lt;a href="http://www.filomenabooth/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;visit my website&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see my original abstract paintings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

2011 has been a difficult year due to the illness and death of my beloved mom. &amp;nbsp;Even though I am already in my mid-60's, it is still difficult to accept the fact that someone who's been there always, is now gone.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I'm finally beginning to see the light at the end of the seemingly eternal tunnel of details that need to be wrapped up. &amp;nbsp;Personal items need to be sorted through, a home needs to be sold and so many countless decisions to be made.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;But, it's a new year now and a new beginning is in sight. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;This vibrant, acrylic painting was an experiment with a different way to apply paint to canvas. &amp;nbsp;I started by squirting fluid acrylics directly to the canvas and then brushing to blend the colors. &amp;nbsp;While the paint was still liquid, I decided to do some monoprinting using a variety of materials to

text-align: center;"&gt;Once in a while it's fun to look around the studio to find things to include or to hide in a painting. &amp;nbsp;Several years ago I had cast some shapes out of PermaStone. &amp;nbsp;As I was rummaging through my cabinet of odds and ends, I came across a couple of pieces that I thought would be fun to include in the painting. &amp;nbsp;I also added clear tar gel, crackle paste, heavy gloss gel, oil pastel and a few collage pieces that I cut from a magazine. &amp;nbsp;As I slowly started to build up the texture and layering the paint, I also started subtracting out some areas to reveal the coats of underlying color. &amp;nbsp;Diluted gesso helped to "veil" areas that I thought were too dominant and I used glazes of transparent color to eventually bring the painting to completion. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;I'm always open to commissions and love to try to recapture a particular "feel"&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;or mood from an earlier piece. &amp;nbsp;I always tell the prospective buyer that the new painting&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;will not be exactly the same as the first but that I will try my best to meet their expectations. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;I'm pleased that Celebration! turned out to be a very close recreation of the original.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear:

style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;The inspiration for this painting came from my view from a plane earlier this year. &amp;nbsp;It was early spring and the fields had not yet started to turn green. &amp;nbsp;Although the window seat is usually the most cramped and difficult to get out of, it's always my favorite place to watch the world go by. &amp;nbsp;The variety of colors and texture in the scene below me lead me to create this painting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Fields and Streams&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;is one of several paintings I currently have available on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a

nice to let loose and let the painting decide which way to go. &amp;nbsp;I searched around for all sorts of materials and mediums to pour, scratch, glaze, etc. on to the canvas. &amp;nbsp;Transparent fluid colors were poured on to the already textured canvas. &amp;nbsp;Heavy gel medium, glass bead texture gel and crackle paste all added to the interesting ways that they interacted with the fluid paint. &amp;nbsp;Accents of metallic gold and iridescent paints created a jewel-like effect.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:

artist's "block" recently, but I guess that's pretty normal after an intense period of painting nearly every day. &amp;nbsp;Sometimes we just need a break away from the studio. &amp;nbsp;Anyway, this "dry spell" has also taken caused me to not blog as often as I should. &amp;nbsp;So, here I am...back again.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I decided to go through some paintings that I've sold in the last year, hoping for inspiration. &amp;nbsp;I came across "Dilemma" and remembered specifically how much I enjoyed working on this painting. &amp;nbsp;It was actually a reworked painting over another that just didn't work for me. &amp;nbsp;I've learned that no painting is ever completely a failure, it just may need a "break" for a while...just like I do now. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a

/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Every time I start a new painting, it's almost like re-learning every step each time. &amp;nbsp;I think that because I approach each painting in a different manner, without a preconceived notion in mind, it gives me the freedom to experiment with new ways of doing things. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;In this painting, I applied paint freely to the canvas. &amp;nbsp;I used whatever was leftover on my palette from the last painting, my only concern being to establish the composition and structure of the painting. &amp;nbsp;As soon as paint is applied, the fear of the dreaded "white" space disappears. &amp;nbsp;I continued to build up the paint layers, each time adding textural elements and wiping out areas to expose under layers of color. &amp;nbsp;It's a slow process but eventually the structure of the painting begins to emerge from the amorphous and undefined "blob". &amp;nbsp;At this point, I begin to more carefully emphasize certain elements that appeal to me. &amp;nbsp;When, finally, I reach the point where I know that there is no more that can be added or subtracted, the painting is finished.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a

If you haven't tried working on this fun material, you should.&amp;nbsp;It is a synthetic (plastic) material that&amp;nbsp;allows the paint to slide around on the surface, creating all sorts of interesting forms.&amp;nbsp; It was originally created as a tough, durable&amp;nbsp;material for the graphic arts industry and was manufactored in a&amp;nbsp;variety of&amp;nbsp;thicknesses.&amp;nbsp; Somehow, a starving artist somewhere decided to try it out and suddenly discovered it made a fun surface to paint on.&amp;nbsp; Or, maybe he just had some packing material laying around the studio&amp;nbsp;and accidentally dripped paint on it,&amp;nbsp; who knows, either way it's an interesting discovery.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;"&gt;This is my latest painting.&amp;nbsp; It is heavily textured with thick layers of color that were applied with a large palette knife.&amp;nbsp; The problem with working with acrylics on a large canvas&amp;nbsp;is that the paint sets up pretty fast and makes blending nearly impossible.&amp;nbsp; As I applied the paint, mixed with a variety of mediums, I used my hands and fingers to blend the paint directly on the canvas.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes the best tools are right at "hand".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I actually got my ritual morning crossword puzzle and Suduko done quickly and headed for the studio with coffee cup in hand.&amp;nbsp; Finishing a painting on the same day I start usually works out best for me.&amp;nbsp; If I have to struggle with a piece for several days, I almost always end up with something that&amp;nbsp;looks tight and forced.&amp;nbsp; Those are the paintings that end up with another fresh coat of gesso, prepped for another start on a day&amp;nbsp;when the Muse is smiling.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none;

text-align: center;"&gt;A while back I decided to try painting on masonite panels.&amp;nbsp; I &lt;/div&gt;created two paintings and have had them sitting around in my studio for a couple of months.&amp;nbsp; Because they were unframed, I really couldn't enjoy them the way they were meant to be viewed.&amp;nbsp; I decided to order some plain black satinwood &amp;nbsp;frames and boy, did that make all the difference.&amp;nbsp; Now the two paintings have "presence" and a sense of importance.&amp;nbsp; I guess paintings are like people - dress them up and you can take them places!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;I decided to try something a little different for a change.  After mixing my colors on my palette, I added heavy matte gel to give the paint more body and started to apply the impasto to the canvas with a palette knife.  The thick paint didn't dry as fast and allowed me to do some mixing on the canvas...which was nice.  Over all, I'm pretty pleased with this painting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Visit &lt;a href="http://www.filomenabooth.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;my website&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
