10 x 10 = 100 Show

Posted on July 27, 2015 by cindihandy

Saratoga Arts is hosting a show entitled 10 x 10 = 100, in honor of Saratoga Springs’ Centennial Celebration. Over 100 regional artists, including myself, will have work on display from August 1 – September 26 at the Arts Center in Saratoga. All works are 10″ by 10″ in size and for sale at $100. The following images are my paintings on display. My son once told me that my paintings are “too girly,” so in response, I’ve added tiny insects to each of the paintings.

Trillium

Posted on June 11, 2015 by cindihandy

In May, I did a presentation for the Southern Saratoga Artists’ Society. Many thanks to the SSAS for inviting me to present. The watercolor demonstration I did was the beginning of this painting. I finally got around to finishing the painting this week. Trillium is based on a photograph of a Red Trillium flower that I found in the woods behind my house.

Nests

Posted on May 14, 2015 by cindihandy

I’ve just completed a very challenging set of commissioned paintings entitled Empty Nesters. Since every branch of each nest needed to be the same, I worked on both paintings at once… one branch at a time. For 90% of the paintings I used a #00 size brush. I also used a very limited palette: Sienna, Burnt Umber, Prussian Blue, Cobalt Blue and Cadmium Yellow.

Lewey Lake

Posted on April 20, 2015 by cindihandy

This commissioned painting, entitled Lewey Lake, is the largest watercolor painting I have done to date. It measures 2 x 3 feet and took me the entire winter to complete. The image is comprised of 3 different photos, all taken from my boat on Lewey Lake in the Adirondack Mountains. Snowy Mountain is seen in the background, and the Pickeral Weed (What a horrid name for such a beautiful flower!) can be found in the stream connecting Lewey and Indian Lake.

All in a Line

Posted on January 9, 2015 by cindihandy

This watercolor painting is entitled All in a Line. The title is not just referring to the geese, who so politely lined up for me to snap their picture, but for the layers and rows of scenery behind them. The sky, trees, bushes, reeds, shrubs, lily pads, water and geese created lines of color and texture across the landscape. The finished painting is 12 x 36 inches long.

Final paintings

Posted on October 27, 2014 by cindihandy

I’ve just finished the last two paintings for my upcoming show in November. The first watercolor painting is entitled Tide Pool. It was based on a photograph I took while in Maine this summer. When the tide washed into shore, it created wonderful little tide pools with iridescent green seaweed and colored rocks.

The second painting is called Yellow Petals. This painting was based on another photograph I took, while kayaking on a beautiful stretch of the Housatonic River in Massachusetts.
