Morrisson at Solomon

🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

Tonight, I attended the opening of Maggie Morrisson's exhibition, Atricity at Solomon Fine Art, 2 Balfe Street, Dublin 2, next to the Westbury Hotel. The Venue was packed. Everyone was chatting. There was plenty of people to meet.

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Maggie's paintings were painted in beautiful purples, pinks and yellows. They all looked summery and cheerful. Their subject matter were mainly flowers and landscapes painted in a semi abstract style. Maggie's exhibition will continue until the 20th July 2024. It is well worth seeing.

Tom Climent at Solomin

Tonight, I attended the opening of Tom Climent's exhibition 'Pilgrim' at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe St., Dub 2 D02 T802. The opening was lively and well attended. Most of Tom's paintings sold.

I particularly liked the translucent and shimmering quality of his use of color in his paintings. Tom's exhibition will run until 25th May 2024.

Painting progress (releasing new stuff soon!)

Hey guys! So this is something new that I’ve wanted to do for awhile now. I’m planning on pursuing a career in Creative Art Therapy in the future, and I wanted to think of different ways I could reach out to a broader population using Art Therapy. So I’ve decided to do a few different things and put them in a series called “PaintingTherapy.”

This includes the pictures above, which I like to think of as “relaxing paintings.” I understand that not everyone has the time to draw or paint when they’re stressed, but I still feel art can reach out to you. So, I created paintings that I think have relaxing imagery, colors, and sayings that could hopefully help de-stress someone when they need it. 

Along with these paintings, I’m planning on releasing things like coloring books. I may also make some relaxing painting videos and set them up on my YouTube channel (remember when that was a thing XD). 

Anyways, if you want to look into the paintings more yourself, here’s a link to the Etsy listing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/538432430/paintingtherapy-relaxing-watercolor?ref=listing_published_alert

I plan on releasing more of these paintings to that listing in the future, so even if you don’t see one that really captures your interest now, keep coming back, because there may be something you do like in the future!

Planet - Textured Abstract Painting

This textured abstract painting involves experimenting with techniques to create peaks and texture using materials compatible with acrylic paint. Many artists out there, including myself, may desire at one point or another to add a layer of three dimensionality to their paintings. This can be done with oil paints, however the vapors and fumes that they tend to produce and the excessive drying time might prove difficult to work with. To combat this, I used a palette knife to play with a matte gel and acrylic paint, producing large peaks and textures without the smell, and I love the results. The texture is very rough, built upon with layer after layer of matte and paint to create an interesting kind of art, pushing the boundaries between two and three dimensionality. The painting itself is a wrapped canvas measuring 11x14, with an extra 1/2 depth in the back.

Hey! I know it’s been awhile, but I’ve released a new painting for sale on Etsy! It’s an abstract painting that uses a new painting technique I’ve been playing around with: using matte and acrylic paint to create a 3D, textured effect similar to that of oil paint.
