I needed a day to relax and not paint from a photo reference.
I needed a day of color, and imagination. That is how this series of Six Blue Vases came to be.
The Blue Vase – 5 x 7 inch acrylic painting on canvas panel- NFS
Seven Flowers in a Blue Vase – 5 x 7 inches acrylic painting on Ampersand gessobord
available in the Etsy shop
Nine Flowers in a Blue Vase – 5 x 7 inch acrylic painting on canvas panel- NFS
Nine Flowers in a Blue Vase – 4 x 6 inch acrylic painting on recycled chipboard (from snack bar box)
Five Flowers in a Blue Vase – 4 x 6 inch acrylic painting on recycled chipboard (from Keebler cookie box)
Eight Red Flowers in a Blue Vase – 4 x 6 inch acrylic painting on recycled chipboard (from fruit snack box)
I painted these all at the same time, so that is why you see the same colors running through all of them. It is fun to paint this way, in multiples. Sometimes I need this riot of color.
The last three paintings, were painted on recycled materials…or should I say, I used them just before they went into the recycled bin. It just goes to show, that you can use just about ANYTHING for a painting surface! I like painting these to send off as Mail Art to my friends, or as little gift cards to include when I ship off my paintings from Etsy. 
I love the look of all six of them together…all the color and happiness!
