REVEILLE KENNEDY PAINTING IMPRESSIONS: Stars. Sails and Sea

REVEILLE KENNEDY PAINTING IMPRESSIONS: Stars. Sails and Sea

Stars. Sails and Sea

8" x 10"  watercolor, acrylic, and rice paper on 140 # Arches

On a failed painting, I attached some Japanese rice paper and began adding color a little at a time until something clicked.  First I thought this would make a fluffy kind of bird, but quickly decided it was a stormy sea with a sailboat confronting the waves and water.   It is not exactly the type of painting I usually do but I like it.  I like the colors, the shapes, the texture and the illusive thought that it is pretty non representational.  The conception came with the doing....kind of backwards from planning a carefully thought out composition. It will be available tomorrow June 15, 2013, at the demo at Dale Street Cafe

Lime Ice

8" x 10"  watercolor  $100.00

I am back from sleeping over a foam box for 6 days while we had visitors.  This was after an operation for a detached retina.  I had no pain, just restless boredom and achy bones from leaning forward so much.  The doc says the retina now looks good! My hubby was my nurse...a formidable but always kindly there, nurse.
So for the winter scene, set in periwinkle and lime with white, coolness has set in.  It is time for skiers and snowshoe buddies to take their cue without me.  I am such a chicken when it comes to cold and speed.  Just let me cuddle in a warm blanket and observe while cradling a hot cup of cocoa.

"Dandelion Fluff #2"

21" x14"  watercolor    $225.00  unframed

In silence and with a whoosh of air,  dandilion seeds will waft windward.  They are lovely and prolific.  
Dandelion is a French word,  dent-de-lion, meaning "lion's tooth".
Dandilions are also loved by herbalists for their vitamins and tummy cures.  
I just remember as a child making bracelets from the flower and stem and then making a wish and blowing the delicate seed heads that resemble upside down umbrellas.

Simply Bright

10" x 8"  watercolor on 140# cold press paper   $100.00

Like the time you laid down in the tall grasses and srtoked your dogs fur and looked up and stared at the beautiful array of stems and blossoms and periwinkle sky.  At once mind blinking and yet soothing.  This sort of unfinishedness delights the eye and could not be improved by adding more.
