Cape May Sky in the abstract















This is a mixed media 6 inch by 6 inch piece I just finished! It's called Capy May Sky.

Even though it appears simple doing it was a time consuming process. First I applied mulberry paper to gessoed masonite and than painted the
background. The clouds came last.


I guess you could call it an acrylic mixed media painting on mulberry paper on masonite... although that is a mouthful.


The image was based on a photograph I took a few years ago. I kept drawing drawing it and each time kept simplifying the elements. At some point it didn't really look like a sky anymore and that is where I liked it best. From a distance it's 'sky'... up close its color and shape.

Blue Hawaii...



















Contact tracyreinhardt.art@gmail.com for purchase information
Unframed $ 75.00

This is the first of my 6 inch x 6 inch mixed media/acrylic paintings on masonite that I'm posting. I've decided to call it 'Blue Hawaii' because -well, it is blue ...and for me there is nothing better than Hawaii...and for an abstract is does ring beach. At least to me.

Photographing these squares have been very difficult and I may switch over to a matte fixative, the gloss is a nightmare to photograph and frankly, even for viewing at angles a matte would be better.
