SOLD PAINTING

SPLASH 36 X 48 SOLD AT THE SHAIN GALLERY IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA.  I DON'T THINK I EVER POSTED THE PAINTING WHEN I FINISHED IT IN MAY. 

Cold Wax Medium Abstracts

 Abstract Marsh 16 x 16

 Beach Balls 16 x 16

 Bubbles 16 x 16

 Round The Block 16 x 20

Last month I took a cold wax medium workshop with an emphasis on abstract.  The class was with Cindy Walton.  It was so different then my normal painting and very freeing.  I always enjoy looking at encaustic paintings.  The difference is that encaustic is using hot wax and you really need a studio with great ventilation and maybe doing it outside is the best.  Since I am not in that environment I was really interested in trying cold wax with oil paints and oil sticks.  I didn't realize or remember from art history that the Egyptians used wax in their arts.  Also, Rembrandt and Van Gogh used it.
Sorry that my posts have been few and far between.  It seems like I may have to get a new computer.  It is running very slowly and I am sure it is outdated. 
Here are a few paintings from the workshop.  They are oil paintings with cold wax medium.  They are all on panels.  I haven't signed these paintings yet, but they are mine and copyrighted. 

I HAVE A WEBSITE...FINALLY

Finally I built a website.  I procrastinated for years and its finally up and running.  The address is:  ChristineBray.com  You can see current still lifes or landscapes.  It also has prices and if the painting is at a gallery or being sold by me.  I also post here on my blog.  I haven't posted in a few weeks, but am busy working on projects.
Thank you for taking the time to look!

Here is another wave painting available at the Shain Gallery in Charlotte, North Carolina.  I believe I captured this wave at the Isle of Palms, in South Carolina.

Wave After Wave 36 x 36 Oil on Canvas

I am glad it is summer, but a little cooler temperatures would be nice.  This painting is available at the Shain Gallery in Charlotte, North Carolina.  This maybe the closest I get to the beach this summer.  I am working on more with the same theme that will be headed to North Carolina in July.
