Hi Everyone! Here's the latest in colorful paintings! Tonight will be my last outdoor Art Show until the fall. Summer in Phoenix is just way to grueling to be outdoors selling art. That doesn't mean I won't be painting! I'll be hitting the canvas hard this summer!

Hope to see you tonight at the Chandler Art Walk but if you can't make it please check the blog for new posts and all post are available for purchase. (Unless already sold) but Giclees are always available from sizes 5x7 - 16x20.

The Neighborhood by Melody Smith

18 x18 x1.5 Box Canvas - Acrylic & Modeling Paste 
Texture with Heavy Gloss Gel
$150 - SOLD
Here is another abstract with many layers. Several of the houses have a raised texture where I used modeling paste as well as the moon glow area.

The rest of the painting is quite loose for me! I put a heavy Gloss Gel over the entire piece to add shine and even more texture.

Abstract Doodles by Melody Smith

STREET ART - 20x24x2.75" Box Canvas - Acrylic • $285
I am teaching a class right now on abstracts and I combined my love of brilliant colors with my graphic design background of clean edges! This is painted with acrylics and the canvas in 2.75 inches deep with the designs wrapped on the sides.

I wanted it to have a fabric look. I love all the fabrics that IKEA offers and I was trying to achieve a textile look.

Thanks for looking!
