Celebration! by Texas Contemporary Abstract Painter Filomena Booth

Celebration!

30"x30"x1.5"

Acrylic on Canvas

Every once in a while I get a request to recreate a painting that has been sold.  

I'm always open to commissions and love to try to recapture a particular "feel" 

or mood from an earlier piece.  I always tell the prospective buyer that the new painting 

will not be exactly the same as the first but that I will try my best to meet their expectations.  

I'm pleased that Celebration! turned out to be a very close recreation of the original.

I also put together a YouTube video showing more detailed shots of the painting and some room views.

Fields and Streams by Texas Contemporary Artist Filomena de Andrade Booth

Fields and Streams

30"x40"x1.5"

Acrylic on canvas

The inspiration for this painting came from my view from a plane earlier this year.  It was early spring and the fields had not yet started to turn green.  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.  The variety of colors and texture in the scene below me lead me to create this painting.

Fields and Streams is one of several paintings I currently have available on Artquiver.  To see my entire portfolio of original abstract paintings, please visit my website.

Prelude - Mixed Media Abstract Contemporary Painting by Texas Artist Filomena Booth

Prelude

24"x24"x.75"

Mixed-media on canvas

Sometimes it's just nice to let loose and let the painting decide which way to go.  I searched around for all sorts of materials and mediums to pour, scratch, glaze, etc. on to the canvas.  Transparent fluid colors were poured on to the already textured canvas.  Heavy gel medium, glass bead texture gel and crackle paste all added to the interesting ways that they interacted with the fluid paint.  Accents of metallic gold and iridescent paints created a jewel-like effect.

I am offering Prelude at a very special price of $250.00 for one week only, please click here to purchase.

Acrylic on canvas

This is one of those paintings that was painted over several other starts.  It is very subtle but there's a lot of texture that doesn't quite show up in this picture.  Sgraffito and calligraphic elements were added to create more detail and interest.

Dilemma - Original Abstract Painting by Texas Contemporary Artist Filomena de Andrade Booth

 Dilemma

24"x30"x.75"

Acrylic on canvas

Sold

I've been going through a bit of an artist's "block" recently, but I guess that's pretty normal after an intense period of painting nearly every day.  Sometimes we just need a break away from the studio.  Anyway, this "dry spell" has also taken caused me to not blog as often as I should.  So, here I am...back again.

I decided to go through some paintings that I've sold in the last year, hoping for inspiration.  I came across "Dilemma" and remembered specifically how much I enjoyed working on this painting.  It was actually a reworked painting over another that just didn't work for me.  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.
