"Daisies" by Lynda Cookson

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Cookson, Artist) — Wed, 13 Mar 2019 10:04:00 +0000

Home and Office Wall Decor (in other words, me and my family team!) are now offering original paintings on our new Etsy Storefront, starting off with Stock Clearance prices. The paintings will be shipped unframed as a further cost saver and shipping is included in the price.

I'm loving trawling through all my images, both photographic and paintings, as I upload them to my various Etsy storefronts ... and, after feeling a little stale for a few months, my fingers are starting to itch again with the anticipation of painting fresh works.

"Daisies" is a medium size, palette knife, oil painting with all the depth and energy you would expect from this medium and technique. Her vibrance speaks for itself :-)

Not shown in the image below, is the monogram signature in the bottom right hand corner of the painting. Here you can see my logo watermark. The original painting has my monogram etched into the paint.

"A Hint of Lace" by Lynda Cookson

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Cookson, Artist) — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 10:04:00 +0000

I'm chuckling to myself this morning working with this image. Somehow my brain thought there was a song from the rock 'n roll era with the words "A hint of lace" in the lyrics but a search on google didn't bring any such song up ... so I am left to surmise that it is just another case of me singing heartily but using the wrong words in a song! Sigh .... I think we've all done that!

This is a mixed media painting in oil, with the background produced using palette knife, a collage of pink tissue paper and black lace, and what I felt to be the lyrics of that elusive (non-existent? LOL) song represented by dancing lines of gold liner paint.

"A Hint of Lace" is for sale as an original painting - CLICK HERE
and will soon be available as an instant image download .... I'll let you know when.

"Icy Sea" by Lynda Cookson

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Cookson, Artist) — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 15:56:00 +0000

The sun was shining earlier but it was simply teasing us. When you walk outside you feel the nip and sitting too long means the foot blower heater is sneakily switched on. Good. Winter hasn't deserted us yet.

Walks down to the sea aren't on the cards yet, so instead, here's a painting which is available as both an instant image download and as the original painting, unframed.

"Blue Teapot" by Lynda Cookson

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Cookson, Artist) — Sat, 09 Mar 2019 08:53:00 +0000

Some paintings, even after being sold many years back, live with you - and inspire you - forever in so many ways. This is one of them for me :-) and I have the actual teapot to this day too!

"Lost 'n Loving It" by Lynda Cookson

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Cookson, Artist) — Fri, 08 Mar 2019 11:01:00 +0000

I could happily live without a GPS. We all used to live happily without a GPS! Okay, so maybe some of us are happier now with a GPS .... but I still love getting lost simply so that I can enjoy the fun and new experiences of eventually finding my way again. I mean this both for road travel and for the journey of life. I've noticed a tendency of mine is that whenever life is getting too comfortable, I have this knack of stirring it all up so I can look for balance again. Weird. I know.

"Lost 'n Loving It!" really is about me. About my pleasure in getting lost and the sense of achievement and life in finding my way out. This painting was created during a relatively tough time in my life and it always makes me smile to see it.

Both the original and instant downloads are available.

"Rollers" by Lynda Cookson

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Cookson, Artist) — Thu, 07 Mar 2019 09:20:00 +0000

For us here in the northern hemisphere our thoughts are starting to turn - quite early I might mention! - to the beach and waves and sunshine. With sand between our toes. We've had no winter to speak of at all here in Brittany.

"Rollers" is a little painting I did as a demo for a student so I've put it up on Etsy for absolutely next to nothing.

You can find it by clicking HERE

"Ruin Above the Mist" by Lynda Cookson

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Cookson, Artist) — Wed, 06 Mar 2019 11:04:00 +0000

"Ruin Above the Mist" was inspired by the wide open spaces, the big skies, where ancient ruins watch out over the lands in Ireland.

It's damp and cool where the blues, greens and grey rule. Crispness dominates in both temperature and view clarity. Ireland breaks all the gauges when it comes to measuring beauty ... too much to measure!

"Clear Green Wave" by Lynda Cookson

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Cookson, Artist) — Tue, 05 Mar 2019 09:09:00 +0000

It's another really windy and rainy day again here on the west coast of Brittany in France. If we were brave enough to venture down to the sea, which is only 300 metres down a steep road, we'd likely see a rather more active sea than this one! But just imagine the sound of gentle waves lapping at the shore ... in your home each day. How soothing.

"Bowl of Eggs" by Lynda Cookson

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Cookson, Artist) — Sun, 03 Mar 2019 09:08:00 +0000

Painting is not my only passion in life. Photography began to develop first. It came first not through choice, but through circumstance. Recently, probably thanks to a windy winter, I've brought it back into play 100% and am loving the balance that both painting and photography gives me.

Would this image represent a symbol of new life to you? Or simple enjoyment of the abstract form with easy-on-the-eye colours?

Who doesn't love a good egg!

"Flower of Passion" by Lynda Cookson

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Cookson, Artist) — Sat, 02 Mar 2019 09:56:00 +0000

I love this abstract flower. It's got the Wow! factor ... the Zing! factor .... the works! LOL It cannot help but be the most exciting conversation piece.

"Flower of Passion" was created as a small acrylic pour painting with a few design techniques thrown in ... using a straw and lots of "hope that it'll settle well". It did.

The original painting is available here: CLICK HERE

Available here as an instant digital image download for you to print to whatever size suits your home:

"Bougainvillea Sky" by Lynda Cookson

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Cookson, Artist) — Thu, 28 Feb 2019 09:16:00 +0000

"Bougainvillea Sky" 

A lovely sunny day in Portugal a few years ago ... and that sky really was that blue when I took this photograph! I grew up with a huge ... really old and really big! ... Bougainvillea of this exact shade in KwaZulu Natal in South Africa, so I was tickled to be able to capture my memory so stunningly against the orange deck cover and such an incredibly blue sky. Most definitely one of my favourite photographs.

"Spirited" by Lynda Cookson

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Cookson, Artist) — Mon, 25 Feb 2019 09:29:00 +0000

"Spirited" takes us galloping into a new week in all her powerful glory. I always feel the energy in this painting tends to take your breath away :-)

The origianl painting remains hanging in my home at the moment. For some reason I shy away from exhibiting her with a certain degree of possessiveness ... but I accept that soon I will have to see if I can find her a new home. LOL

This instant image download for you to have her printed as a giclee or wall hanging of your choice, is here :

Big White Flowers

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Cookson, Artist) — Thu, 21 Feb 2019 15:00:00 +0000

"Big White Flowers" is so fresh and bold. It feels free and full of sunshiny happiness to me.

Just like today ... we have another really beautiful and warm sunny day with clear skies. What ever happened to winter on the coast of Brittany this year I just don't know. I'm sitting here with a cool top on and a thin cardigan, with only one pair of socks to keep my toes warm. Crazy to be so toasty, without a heater on, in what is usually deepest coldest winter.

This painting is immediately downloadable as an image for you to print and you can find it here ... https://www.etsy.com/listing/684216819/big-white-flowers-instant-digital-image?ref=shop_home_active_1

I've also uploaded some room settings for you to see what it'll look like.
