Spring Hangin

This is another painting in my Hangin series, it must be nostalgia that keeps me coming back for more.  It's also the colors and patterns that attract me, like flags stretched and fluttering in the wind.  For me there seems to be a story in this painting, the joy of early spring, finally airing out the house and bed linens after a long winter.  

We are just starting our long winter but there is hope and joy of the spring to come which has a double meaning this year.  Winter for me is a time to focus on painting, maybe some experimenting with other mediums, read books, rest.  I have to remind myself it's a good time.

My acrylic paintings are protected by an acrylic satin varnish and I use professional acrylic paints: Winsor Newton, Liquitex and Utrecht.  The Ampersand gessobord's are 1/8" thickness, a museum series panel which are acid free, archival.  All my paintings are signed, dated with the paintings information on the back.
