Bright and Beautiful Toucan Acrylic Painting
Acrylic Painting: Lounging Polar Bear
I originally did this as a graphite pencil drawing, but liked the image so much I did an acrylic painting of it too. Although you can’t tell from this photo, the bear’s fur is “textured”, and the background and foreground are irridescent and reflective, like real snow. The original 20″ x 30″ painting, done on finished edge canvas, is posted for sale at http://fineartamerica.com/featured/lounging-polar-bear-suzanne-schaefer.html
Acrylic Painting: Arabian Horse
This acrylic painting was so much fun to do! Of course, as some of you may know, I’m partial to painting and drawing things that are alive (especially if they have eyeballs) but to capture the beauty, elegance and power of horses, ……well, it’s just a treat. Prints of this acrylic painting, on either paper or canvas, are available at http://www.fineartamerica.com/profiles/suzanne-schaefer.html
Acrylic Painting/The Little Rooster Barnyard Brat
Here’s an acrylic painting of Mr. Hotshot, the barnyard brat of a rooster. Cute as all get out, and… as chickens go, one pushy little devil. I snapped a photo of him one day while he was struttin’ his stuff for all the girls. My intention was to capture that big attitude of his.
Acrylic Painting: Framed Northwest Indian Art/Bear Totem
I have some of the best neighbors on the planet, and one of them is crazy about Northwest Indian art, so I did some research on the subject and came up with this little 4 x 6 inch acrylic painting for her. The bear itself is varnished with gloss varnish, the background is a matt finish. The frame was painted with special paint that has mica flecks in it and has a reflective quality to it. Don’t know if you can see all that clearly in the photograph or not. I’d be happy to make one for you too! Just contact me (artsesue@hotmail.com) and let me know what you’d like. Great original gift idea at not a huge cost!
Acrylic Painting: Butterfly Collage
I call this 8 x 10 acrylic painting a “collage“, but that’s only because I don’t know what else to call it. It’s a very simple, understated design that I like, although my daughter said “Mom, nobody is into butterflies anymore!” Hmmm… maybe she’s right, but it doesn’t matter. I still like it.
Acrylic Painting: Abstract in Blues
Well…..this one turned out far better than I ever dreamed it would! Yes, it is acrylic paint, and yes, it’s an abstract painting in blue, but honestly, it was mostly an experiment! HA. I love it when experimental pieces actually turn out better than you imagined at the beginning of the process. I like this one so much I don’t think I’ll even try to market it. I’d love some feed-back from others on this one! (One can’t necessarily be objective about one’s own work, you know?) Hopefully, I’ll get some critiques.
