I'm busy this week with taking pictures of all the new art, editing photos, and such so I won't be doing much in the way of painting this week as I need to focus all my energy on admin things.

Which means I have a bunch of new art for you! I believe I counted 17 new paintings!

Yea! 

And there's all sizes...so if you need a small painting to beautify that desk or shelf, or if you have big empty wall that needs a big dose of color.

I've got ya covered. :D

I'll be updating my online shop with all the new paintings later this week, but if you don't want to miss out,   sign up to be notified here: http://www.pauletteinsall.com/newsletter-sign-up

A labor of love

I took most of the last year off from painting while we were renovating/selling our house and then searching/buying/moving into a new one. I had forgotten how long my varnishing process takes. It is so much more than just putting on a layer of varnish....its a slow, meticulous process...

Since I use mixed media, i.e. pastels, graphite, etc., along with acrylics, I need to make sure that the other media doesn't smear and is fully protected. So first I apply a fixative. Then once that is dry, an isolation coat., which fully seals the surface before the final varnish is applied.

Only after this all completely dry, do I apply a UV satin removable archival varnish. I use a removable varnish because this enables the varnish to be removed if the painting ever needs to cleaned for conservation purposes.

All this insures that my paintings will be around for many years....to bring beauty and joy to the lives of future generations as well as yours. 😊

New Daily Painting: "The Sun Shines Brighter"

Happy New Year y'all!!!! To kick off 2015, I decided to participate in a painting challenge.....30 paintings in 30 days for the month of January. Of course I've gotten a late start as my January doesn't really get started until my kiddo is back at school from Christmas vacation. ;) I've decided to start off with a few abstract landscapes {something new I've been wanting to play with} and I've gotten several finished, but this is my very first one I'm posting. Click on the painting title below to see more pics.

Keep your eyes out for the next one tomorrow {tomorrow's is one of a pair}. Or you can just sign up here to get daily notifications of these new pieces so you don't miss 'em....if you are already in my "Insider Circle Club", you will have to sign up for this list separately, as this is a new list with daily emails just for the duration of this painting challenge. :D
