Unpredictable Painter. No Specific Style or Subject. Would Have It No Other Way!

So here's another offering for the past few days. I am not going to explain or apologize for the wide variations in my subjects. I've said it many times before; I have no idea what I will paint on any given day. The idea for a painting often comes to me as I'm falling asleep, and that means I can't wait to get up in the morning and get to work on it. Of course, I repeat the subjects from time to time, simply because I love doing them. Landscapes and Colonial Portraits are my favorites, but you can only produce just so many before you need a change of pace.

Sunrise Art Gallery at Etsy

Today I'm featuring a talented artist who obviously enjoys playing with different subjects, styles and materials. Sunrise Gallery's art ranges from acrylics, through watercolors to pastels, on paper, canvas and silk, and she explores everything from abstracts, still lifes, birds and flowers, through to land and cityscapes. I love her use of color, and the soft, easy freedom of her strokes.










This artist's journey is still revealing itself, I think, and it would be interesting to check back with her in a couple of years to see how her talent has developed. Which isn't to say I necessarily believe she's just starting out. On the contrary, even at my age, I'm still experimenting. I think most artists have a hard time knowing what they want to be when they grow up, when it comes to subject matter and style. If we were to stop exploring our possibilities, I think we'd lose our drive, the thing that inspires us anew, each time we pick up our tools.

There are many other paintings at her site, so check out Sunrise Art Gallery at Etsy.

Linda Powell at Etsy

Etsy's Linda Powell is a self taught artist and works in acrylics, gouache, watercolors, mixed media, charcoal, pastel, oil, photography and pencil drawings, contemporary modern abstracts, landscapes and still lifes. Her art reflects her passion for life with a vibrant use of color. Linda has been drawing all of her life but only recently picked up a brush and began painting.

I'm very happy she did. These abstracts are wonderful pieces - just a small sample of the art she has available at her store.

You'll find a whole array of her work at Linda Powell at Etsy. You'll be impressed by the variety of her subjects. The abstracts I'm featuring here would make a wonderful splash of color in your home.
