Mixed Media Angel Painting

Just looking back at some old photos and I came across this painting. I painted it for an artist event at UICA in Grand Rapids, MI. I am not sure who ended up with this piece, but I really enjoyed painting it. It conveys a very bitter sweet feeling or perhaps a sense of worry. I am not really sure what I was feeling at the time other than I knew the eyes were rather sad, so naturally the tears came. They are large arn't they? This piece was approx. 12 x 12" mixed media on a wood panel. I hope this painting has a good home, I just love it! Go to TinaRothwell.com if you would love to see the new work.

Kodak Moment

So I always have my camera ready just in case I have that Kodak moment. Here you see my grandson
touching a sculpture I got for my birthday. My daughter put him on my end table and held him while I pointed and shot the camera. You have to work fast when taking pictures of babies. It's crazy, but they move so quickly.

Here is a close up of the sculpture. It's quite rustic and simple, but fun and colorful. It brings some whimsy in my sunroom, so I removed the real plants and put in my tree sculpture. I don't have to water my tree! Yipeeeeee

In the field

I love this painting! It was painted on four different wood panels that were 6 x 6" each, and then mounted on a wood backing that I painted black so that the painting could really pop. This is oil paint. If you know me that is pretty much my medium of choice. I do on many occasions create mixed media pieces as well. This particular piece is SOLD but if you want to custom order one, I can paint one up very similar to this, in a matter of days.

How would you like something like this?

 Or one using these colors. I can see this in a cozy, comfy cottage. How about in a contemporary home? Ok that's it, this one is my next painting! You can always go to TinaRothwell.com for more paintings.
