Work in Progress: Golden Light

Work in Progress by Amy Crook
One of the things I do when I’ve got my oil paints out is to prepare canvases to become future works. I have no idea what I’m going to do with this little canvas and its wash of golden light (the lighting in the image only intensifies the effect of the paint), but I’m sure I’ll think of something. A soft, sepia-and-white portrait, perhaps. Or giant evil bees. Who knows?

Translucent Pelagic Octopus

Translucent Pelagic Octopus tiny painting by Amy Crook
Today’s tiny painting is a Translucent Pelagic Octopus, a deep-sea creature that floats ghostlike in the dark ocean. They have some phosphorescence in blues and reds and even a bit of gold to go with the white, and seem to be sculptures of living glass. Iridescent paint gives the image a big of shimmer, adding to the effect.
He’s giving you a cheerful hello wave from his tiny canvas, which is about the size of a postcard. He comes with a small wooden easel to easily display him on a flat surface such as a bookshelf, mantelpiece, desk, cubicle, or very patient cat.

Impressionist Flowers

Impressionist Flowers by Amy Crook
With the tiny paintings, I will often paint a batch of skies, or water, or whatever, and go back in and decide what to do with it later. When I pulled out this warm blue sky to work on it again, I wanted to do something impressionistic for spring that really brought that feeling of warm sleepy days with bees buzzing around the flowers.
The edges of this canvas board are finished, the image wrapping around to the sides to add a some extra dimension. The easel is included, so this painting can be displayed as is on a bookshelf, desk, windowsill, or anywhere you want a little spring sunshine.
