The Girl at the Loom, a fine art original acrylic painting by Jimmie

Girl at the Loom is an original acrylic painting on a stretched 16 x 20 inch canvas.  The painting features a mid eastern girl dressed in traditional clothing working at a loom to create a garment.

I enjoyed the challenge of the work involved to create this painting.  The composition of multiple objects, and a beautiful young girl working the threads on the loom, was very intriguing.  The decisions of how detailed I needed to paint to get the result of realistic representation took some effort.

I hope you like the results.  If you are interested in purchasing the painting, please see https://bartlettpairart.com/product/girl-at-the-loom-painting/

Purple Iris Oil Painting, a work in progress

I am working on several paintings this month and have reached the final stages on two of my iris's.  The purple iris is in the evaluation period before it can be called 'finished'.  I already see a couple of items to rework: the beard on the right and darken the shades in the background on the upper half to have more contrast between the white petals and the soft yellows.

I could have simplified the petals  but I couldn't resist the challenge of the twists and folds real iris's have.  The idea is to use a photo reference and paint it the way it looks best to you and omit the irrelevant components.  And use the colors more fitting to your tastes.

I am also considering putting in a few green blades in the background.  For now, we will let this one dry some more and work on the other paintings.  Thanks for visiting my blog.  I would enjoy your comments.

God Bless You,

Butterfly on Jasmine, Original Acrylic Painting

I finished Butterfly on Jasamine today.  The painting is painted in acrylics and is on a 20x20 gallery wrapped canvas with edges also painted.  Ready hang on your wall.

Springtime weather is coming to South Texas and along with it is increased wildlife activity.  Our jasmine is in full bloom and the bees and butterflies are all over it.  That is until you try to capture a picture of the little beauties.  I chased this colorful butterfly around for a long time (was a windy day) and was able to get several nice photos of it to paint from.  I liked this one and hope you enjoy it also.

Butterfly on Jasmine is for sale.  Email me if you wish to purchase.

Let us pray before we paint,
