Prelude - Mixed Media Abstract Contemporary Painting by Texas Artist Filomena Booth

Prelude

24"x24"x.75"

Mixed-media on canvas

Sometimes it's just nice to let loose and let the painting decide which way to go.  I searched around for all sorts of materials and mediums to pour, scratch, glaze, etc. on to the canvas.  Transparent fluid colors were poured on to the already textured canvas.  Heavy gel medium, glass bead texture gel and crackle paste all added to the interesting ways that they interacted with the fluid paint.  Accents of metallic gold and iridescent paints created a jewel-like effect.

Morning Rain - Abstract Modern Art Contemporary Painting by Texas Artist Filomena Booth

Morning Rain

24"x30"x1.5"

Acrylic on canvas

This is one of those paintings that was painted over several other starts.  It is very subtle but there's a lot of texture that doesn't quite show up in this picture.  Sgraffito and calligraphic elements were added to create more detail and interest.  

Please visit my website to see more of my original abstract paintings.

Dilemma - Original Abstract Painting by Texas Contemporary Artist Filomena de Andrade Booth

Dilemma

24"x30"x.75"

Acrylic on canvas

Sold

I've been going through a bit of an artist's "block" recently, but I guess that's pretty normal after an intense period of painting nearly every day.  Sometimes we just need a break away from the studio.  Anyway, this "dry spell" has also taken caused me to not blog as often as I should.  So, here I am...back again.

I decided to go through some paintings that I've sold in the last year, hoping for inspiration.  I came across "Dilemma" and remembered specifically how much I enjoyed working on this painting.  It was actually a reworked painting over another that just didn't work for me.  I've learned that no painting is ever completely a failure, it just may need a "break" for a while...just like I do now.
