New Paintings.......
Here are two new paintings - I know I've been slow getting art out but lots is happin and I'm just flat drained.
Cyclamen:
Two weeks ago I learned my boyfriend of 4 years was moving to TN for a year for job training. This kinda turned my world upside down, and really threw me. I still have 9 days left with him before he goes (as of this posting).
In searching for a distraction, (in true Kris Jean style so as to not have to deal with this mentally, even though I know it's going to happen) - I found the EBSQ show for Cyclamen. I felt a certain bond with the flowers. At first glance, they look like a regular flower, but they kind of bloom upside down. Like they live in a topsy-turvy world.
Looks like I need to take a page from the book of Cyclamen, and adapt to my new situation - even if it means blooming upside down. When I'm down I usually paint in Black & White, but this go around I tried something different. I painted a "happy" painting.
It's only a year right?
it's available for purchase on etsy currently:

and the other painting:
damn...
A swirl of colors moving across the canvas - emotions rising, flowing and ebbing. Cerulean blue for sadness, a hint of light moss green - for that glimmer of hope, and a darker teal for the darker thoughts dancing in your head.
Painting has a 1/4 black border painted around it not shown.
This one is also available on etsy:

These two paintings are each entered in shows on EBSQ.

These shows both feature the new "Chip-in" app. If anyone has a buck or two to toss into the kitty - that would be great. Chippin' in promotes more competition and incentive for artists to participate. So if you enjoy the art in the shows drop a couple bucks their way. The winning artists can really use the cash in this economy - as art is a luxury for most people.
