SUSAN'S . . . PLAYING AGAIN!

  A GOLDEN GLOW 6" x 6" acrylic on wood panel Private Collector Upon arrival at the Desert Dairy Farm, I was immediately given  a tour of the 5 acres. Such diversity between the mountain ridges  and the oasis! And colors that I did not envision for a desert.  Above, A Golden Glow , is a rendition of the view from the barn  leading to the town of Twentynine Palms. Below is a sample  of what I saw.  One of my goals was to punch up my color palettes, so during my stay, I painted small vignettes and experimented. Felt  I succeeded with A Golden Glow . 

DARK AS INK 4" x 4" acrylic on recycled wood block * *sawtooth hanger  $45 + $5 shipping - tax inclusive  The world has appeared dark lately, so thought this little painting was apropos of the times. Do hope things will  lighten up for all soon.  This little one is painted onto a recycled block of wood and has a sawtooth hanger or can be propped on a petite easel. Keep safe and well!

DARK BLUE NIGHT 3" x 3" acrylic on wood  1 1/2"  deep black floater frame  SOLD - Private Collector Well I must have been really partying over here, for just now  realized there is only one blog posted throughout December. What???!!!  So I am posting a sweet, petite acrylic and offering at a  special price. And by petite, this little one is only 3" square.  Please note, that this little one could be hung on the wall or set upon a tabletop or window ledge since it's in a deep-set floater frame.
