Of course, being a triptych, it's immediately eye catching. Each canvas is 12 inches wide. The top one is 12x12, the middle is 4x12, and the bottom is 16x12.

A triptych always says more than a solitary painting. This group of three is a vibrant, boisterous celebration of colors and textures.
All three pieces are sold together as a triptych.
If something looks vaguely familiar, it's because I posted the first one of this group a couple weeks ago. Remember this one that I was lukewarm about?
I wasn't really happy with this painting, even though some of you had very encouraging things to say about it. You can see the revised version is on the right side of the triptych. I jazzed up the color a LOT.
My husband - ever the critic - when asked what he thought would be a good name for this painting, said "Yuk, Yuk, and Yuk." I laughed because I KNEW he would not like this one. Ha ha. He doesn't like abstracts, as you might have guessed.

Trilogy, 9063, abstract, mixed media triptych
I loved working on this little triptych. Each piece has reflective elements in it making for a photography nightmare. The cube frames make this such a fun piece. They can be mounted on the wall, stacked on a shelf, or displayed individually.
Each cube measures 5x5x4. They are sold as a set. Please see my website for purchase information.

My last outdoor show in Breckenridge, CO, was not as successful as I had hoped. Once again, I was plagued with the double pestilence of rain and a less than stellar turnout - probably one is a result of the other. I have lived in CO for over 30 years, and I can't recall such a wet spring and summer.
One bright spot was the camaraderie several of us exhibitors had together - good times.
SYNERGY, 03608, acrylic abstract triptych
Here's another painting on multiple canvases. The three canvases work synergistically (see title) to create the whole. Each canvas measures 8x24x1.5. As usual, I have a lot of texture going on in this painting. There are red and gold metallic elements that don't photograph very well. The painting looks much better in person.
For purchase information, please see my website:
SPRING ETERNAL, 03508, acylic triptych of red tulips
Tulips are blooming in my neighborhood, so I was inspired to paint this bouquet again. I am so attracted to the red/purple combination.
This painting is on three 5x7 gallery wrap canvases, another example of using multiple canvases for one painting. If you click on the image to enlarge it, you'll see that I left white canvas showing in some areas on the edges of the flowers. Sometimes I used white paint. These little touches of white add sparkle to the painting. Every now and then, when I complete a painting, I KNOW I NAILED IT. If I never sell this painting I'll be happy to keep it.

POPPY TRIPTYCH, 03308, acrylic floral painting on 3 canvases
I like experimenting with multiple canvases. I've done many diptych, triptych, and even quadtych paintings. This is the same floral reference photo I used for Poppy Quadtych posted a couple weeks ago.
If you look carefully, each flower is outlined in yellow-gold. I left a white boarder around each flower, then the final step was to paint the boarder with quinacridone gold acrylic paint (Golden brand.) I love that tube of q. gold. It'l like sunshine in a tube. It's so transparent, it only shows on the white areas.
SOLD
Poppy Garden 4, 24x24 acrylic triptych
A client saw the first version (see June 1, 2007 post) of this painting at an art show. She had purchased a different painting of mine earlier and found it was too large for her home, so she wanted to trade it in, for this painting. I agreed, and set out to paint this one for her. I worked on it at my gallery in Golden, CO(Spirits in the Wind) where I was doing a demonstration. Now the gallery wants this one, so I have to do another version for the client. And so it goes....poppymania.
Sentinal, 24x24 acrylic triptych
On my recent canoe trip down the Gunnison River in western Colorado, we were surrounded by tall canyon walls. I think that's the inspiration for this abstract triptych. I used some course granular pumice gel and some clear tar gel for texture.
I also used some silver leaf in the upper part of the painting, but found it too distracting (shiny), so painted over most of it. There are little silver glints that do show, however.
Poppy Garden 3, 24x36 acrylic triptych
I'm happy to say I'm back at the easel. I have some wonderful vacation memories, but I missed my daily work with the paint brush. This painting was done on gessoboard. I wanted to see the effect of a texturized painting on the smooth surface that gessoboard has. I think the contrast between the smooth surface and the texturized flowers is even more dramatic than it is on canvas. See my earlier posts for the complete process of how this painting was done.
Poppy Garden 2, 24x24 triptych, acrylic
My previous post, Poppy Garden 1, showed the step-by-step process (scroll down) for creating this painting. This time of year I am always captivated by the fragile beauty of these gorgeous poppies. I can't stop painting them! I'm a poppyholic. This painting, Poppy Garden 2, is a triptych done on three 8x24 gallery wrap canvases. The painting wraps around the sides. Once again, the photo does not quite convey the strong 3D effect of the textured petals built up with acrylic medium. SOLD

and here is the redo:
The biggest difference, of course, is thebackground going from black to butterscotch. There are other added notes of
yellow-green and turquoise.
As you can see, it is painted on three 5x7 gallery wrap canvases. I've shown them right next to each other, but you could also emphasize the triptych abspect by leaving a small space between them.
