Art as Xmas Gift
 

My wife insists that I don't buy her anything for Xmas this year (she's sending me on a trip with my friends which will cost more than we usually spend on each other). I picked up some cheap canvases at an Art store and plan on doing some paintings for the house to give to her as a gift. I'll post photos as I finish them.

Two will go side-by-side in the living room, and will be abstract in a style similar to these:

The other two will be a related pair for the bedroom, hanging opposite the bed and flanking the door to the bathroom. I'm thinking of abstract landscapes in a style similar to this:

Excellent idea for a Christmas gift. Your wife is a lucky woman.

I'm gonna start the first one tonight. wish me luck

I did two tonight, one of which I love and one of which i'm completely "meh" on. I'd post photos but I think my wife took the camera with her to Miami (DOH!) Guess I'll have to post them post-Xmas


EDIT: Found the Camera

I did all 4, though one isn't done

the final one is a companion to this last one, only with the "sun" sinking below the horizon. Because the "sun" was made by dripping paint, it's very thick and will take a few days to dry. Only then can I finish the "ground"

I like the last one the best, but I'm partial to landscapes. Great work!

The other landscape:

I like that first one, Derwood. I'm no art expert, but the colors just seem to really blend well together. Excellent!
