Carnival

30″ x 30″ Mixed media on canvas

I recently purchased my first set of oil pastel pens and OMG, I am hooked! It’s so much fun to try new mediums, I’ve been doing a lot of experimenting lately.

“Carnival” began with a bright yellow coat of spray paint, then I added some pastels, a splash of acrylic with pouring medium, and then I introduced the oil pastel pens, that’s where the carnival starts!

I really love how easy these pens are to work with, and I have a set of 24 colors! I will be in the studio for the next 3 days if anyone is looking for me!

    Really colorful and festive. An explosion of colored smoke and confetti. It brings to mind the music video Vorrei ma non posto by J-AX & Fedez — https://youtu.be/yKT_euhimTk. Vorrei ma non posto is something like “I would like to but no room” or “..no place” or possibly “…no time”. But it may be idiomatic, and has another meaning altogether. Laurie is fluent in Italian and she’s not quite getting it. Maybe you know?

      Thank you Tim! That was a fun video, new band to me, I really enjoyed it and can see why it would come to mind! I know very little Italian, but I do know that some things just do not translate!

        J-AX is a lot of fun. I’m not a real fan of Rap, but I like Italian Rap. Italian rappers like J-AX and Fedez don’t take themselves very seriously and have fun with it.

    It looks beautiful. The splash of color is so cheerful and intersecting components make a great impact. I liked colors you had chosen, as well.
    I like abstracts what others sometimes do, it is just what I am saying on my art blog: I am very good at drawing, have always been, and I love line interacting with shape and value too much, therefore, I simply have to paint somewhat realistic art. It isn’t realism, though, but my own perspective projected onto the particular subject.

      Thank you! I think as long as art brings us joy and satisfaction, it doesn’t matter what we call it! I do also enjoy your work, so talented!

    Oooh, oil pens? I will have to look into those! Are they a new product? I also see a little white dog with a brown ear next to the dancing dinosaur!

      You know what? They are not actually oil pens, they say “mixed media”?? So I am not exactly sure of the ingredients, but they are still awesome to play with! Here’s the link; https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FD34939/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
      LOL, totally see the dog too!
