This is completed,  “Olivia”  Native Fire Dancer.   I hope to create more paintings of Olivia.    I started this painting as an abstract using a pallet knife.  As I progressed I started to see the line of feathers, then basically saw Olivia.   This is the result of that process. As I proceeded on this painting I searched the internet for Native Fire Dancing and found out that there actually was such a thing.   I think we all would like to be like Olivia and just let loose and dance around a camp fire,  I know I would.  Who knows maybe someday.  I hope you like it so far.    I continued to use a pallet Knife and brushes.   This is a heavy coated Acrylic medium with a high gloss finish.

Comments welcome.

“Up-Rooted”   This painting is a sunflower field that is in a wind storm and has up-rooted itself from the ground.   The painting effect I’m aiming for  is very old looking. Like the painting  itself has weathered and has for many years.     In our own lives we go through phases where sometimes we just don’t have  any roots to keep us in one place.  We’re just floating through life not caring where we land.   We have not established our own roots.   After a while we do settle down  when we have our own family and our own children.  By then we’ve  weathered the storm more than once but begin to put down our own roots.    This is what this painting represents to me the time in our lives when we are just Up-Rooted.
