February 06, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Easy Stroll – New 16×20 #LyricalAbstract #AcrylicPainting
Among my many experimental works, of all sizes & various mediums, Easy Stroll is a kind of prototype for me. I’ve not created other work like it again yet, even though this among my favorites. But I’ve several like this….

January 30, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Pink Impressionist Abstract 1 – New 12×24 #LyricalAbstract #AcrylicPainting
Pink seemed like a long shot for me to get a good color block of, but I’d one well with red ( one already posted, the other in the wings to have the sides painted ) so I figured, let’s see… 😊

January 27, 2022 – New 16×20 Inch #Acrylic #PaletteKnife #AbstractArt Upload @FineArtAmerica – Easy Stroll
A vertical abstract I absolutely had no idea would contain so many potential figures and landscape features! Positively must be my sub-conscious at work, esp considering I didn’t even become aware of the potential imagery til I observed the work from….

January 24, 2022 – New 12×24 Inch #Acrylic Upload @FineArtAmerica – Pink Impressionist Abstract 1
My newest panoramic impressionist abstract color block on a 12×24 gallery wrapped canvas is – Pink! 😊 And my one line description for this art work on it’s page at Fine Art America reads —

January 23, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Blue Impressionist Abstract 1 – New 12×24 #LyricalAbstract #AcrylicPainting
It’s kinda neat how these impressionist abstract panoramas I’ve been working on conjure up so many varying images, or at least semi-suggested images, lol! I see waves and sky and beach, the horizon line shifting from lower 1/3 to upper 1/3 depending how I squint 😊 Working bottom to top, I can even see….

January 22, 2022 – Rethinking (re-engineering?) How I Post About Images I Upload to #FineArtAmerica
My most emerging challenge as I ramp up being able to and wanting to paint more often – each day if possible – is time. Not a big surprise for all the folks with lots of interests and/or commitments, even for us 70+ year olds, lol! Though, surprisingly, just as difficult to navigate the demands…
-
January 21, 2022 – New 16×20 Inch #Acrylic Upload @FineArtAmerica – Healthy Vines Happy Hearts
A relatively simple work with a slightly more complex arrangement of paint application than my usual. That’s a mouthful, lol! But pretty accurate in term of my process! 😊 First, I laid in a faint yellow base, a mix of watercolor and acrylic. Next I laid over a….

January 17, 2022 – Art Delivery to Cypress Grill Austin for a Creative Arts Society Rotating Member Showing
I’m happy to post I’m placing my 1st piece of art work at a Creative Arts Society member venue in over a year and a half!

January 16, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Fantasy Landscape – New 16×20 #LyricalAbstract #AcrylicPainting
Fantasy Landscape is currently residing at the Old Bakery & Emporium in downtown Austin across from the Texas State Capital. It’s a super playful acrylic I didn’t realize would be “so much” a landscape as it turned out, lol! All part of the “discovery” process inside each artist, often call the landscape inside, probably in…

January 15, 2022 – New 12×24 Inch #Acrylic Upload @FineArtAmerica – Blue Impressionist Abstract 1
Third of my 3 uploaded acrylic color blocks, each 12×24 inches on gallery wrapped canvas, Blue gives me a triad of sorts, the other two paintings being red and yellow. A link to related blog posts is – https://felipeadanlerma.com/?s=Impressionist+abstract I’ve always like panoramas, even in my….

January 09, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image 1st Week of the New Year @FineArtAmerica, Red Impressionist Abstract 1 – New #Panoramic #AcrylicPainting on 12×24 Gallery Wrapped Canvas
Red Impressionist Abstract 1, is the second in a new series of series, so to speak 😊 where I am creating a line of medium size 12×24 gallery wrapped panoramic monochromatic paintings (not counting the white paint in the mix). The 1st, in yellow, is featured in the live tweet further below. Like my other…
-
January 08, 2022 – New 16×20 Inch #Acrylic Upload @FineArtAmerica – Fantasy Landscape
This is one of those works I didn’t “see” the landscape til I saw it from another room, lol! But I’d immediately liked the colors and sway of texture, and though it’s kinda rough is spots, it’s part of what makes it work I think. Usually I’ll hold a very new work like this for…

January 07, 2022 – Delivering New Art to the Old Bakery and Emporium (across from the State Capital) Austin, Texas – Valentine Hearts and More!!!
No mere change-out, I swapped out most ( but not all ) of my originals and brought in a stack of 6×9 original acrylic and watercolor hearts. The best way for me to package the latter was to place the on-paper hearts in 8×10 sleeves with an acid-free backing. I did well with these last…

January 03, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image This Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Mesa Verde in the Beginning – New #AcrylicPainting on 6×6 Gallery Wrapped Canvas
Heavy with slashes of Golden’s Light Molding Paste, Mesa Verde in the Beginning is one of my more successful paint-and-cover-the-first-layin art pieces in a quite a bit! And this little work had only been uploaded a day before the week’s cutoff! But the real treat for me, a dual treat, was seeing my most recent…

December 27, 2021 – My Most Viewed Image This Past Week @FineArtAmerica, A Photograph! – Birds and Fun at Butler Park, circa 2019
I’m in semi-shock! My photography was the dominant winner for most views on Fine Art America the 3rd week of December! Just goes to show one never knows, lol! I do think that, Birds and Fun at Butler Park, one of my favorite shots among several pics I captured at Butler Park here in Austin,…

December 26, 2021 – Sold! To My Repeat Buyer in Florida, Happy Dancer! #watercolor
It’s always a treat when something sells, and more so from a repeat buyer! ❤️

December 22, 2021 – New 6×6 Inch #Acrylic Upload @FineArtAmerica – Mesa Verde in the Beginning
I’ve just recently begun letting myself acrylic-free-wheel experiment on what I 1st began experimenting with my watercolors on, little 6×6 inch gallery wrapped canvases, much like my recent post on another painting from this same new batch – The Smile in the Moon . Mesa Verde in the Beginning is much more abstract, and the…

December 20, 2021 – My Most Viewed Image This Past Week @FineArtAmerica, A Rare Tie! – Abstract Minimalism 2 and Yellow Impressionist Abstract 1
Not sure I remember a tie for most viewed image for a particular week on Fine Art America before, though there were many weeks in the early years I didn’t follow that then. It’s a good indicator I think of what’s catching folk’s eyes, even if no sales jump out from it at the time.…

December 12, 2021 – My Most Viewed Image This Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Peace
Another new release becomes my most viewed image on Fine Art America, this for the 1st week in December 2021 😊 Not all new releases become most viewed the week they’re released, and for awhile, even that was a rarity; lately though, it occurred enough for me to notice, lol! Is my work getting better?…

December 06, 2021 – My Most Viewed Image This Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Summer is a Lady
The holidays are upon us, especially if one counts them as extending to Valentines Day, my wife’s birthday ❤️ So it’s especially nice to see this beautiful image crop up again after being most viewed on my Fine Art America site 5 weeks in a row late this past summer!

December 05, 2021 – Sold! At the Old Bakery and Emporium (across from the State Capital) Austin, Texas – 12×18 Print, Spring is a Lady!
My 1st sale of this early watercolor / line art figure painting of mine. Uploaded early spring of this year (2021), it’s gotten fairly nice views, thought it’s twin ( flipped horizontally ), Summer is a Lady has been my most viewed on Fine Art America 1/2 a dozen different weeks! Very glad their both…

December 04, 2021 – Delivering New Art to the Old Bakery and Emporium (across from the State Capital) Austin, Texas – Peace, a New Holiday Painting
Peace, my delivered painting, itself has gone through several metamorphoses to completion, starting way back to August this year (2021) when I was tentatively calling it Holiday Walk; I’d posted about it early September – September 08, 2021 – Developing 2 New Figure Paintings on Light Molding Paste on Canvas – 1 Watercolor, 1 Acrylic…

November 28, 2021 – My Most Viewed Image This Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Heart Fragment
If it was an amazing process to see older photos and artwork show up on my most viewed list last week (and it was 😊) then this batch is incredible! Work from so many years have shown up, and such a variety! It tells me, one can never quite tell what folks might be looking…

November 26, 2021 – Working on Paintings; In-Progress : 2 New Lay-ins ( “Heart Fragment” and “Approach” ) Based on Details from Two Existing Paintings
This has been something I’ve toyed with and talked about for a bit now — finding / picking a detail fragment of an existing painting (or photo etc) from which to base new work on. And I shoulda caught on to how well this might work for me, in terms of creativity and viewership, with…

November 22, 2021 – My Most Viewed Image This Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Walking in Light
I particularly like the look and feel of Walking in Light, the sway of colors synced with the vegetation and figure walking in an easy light ❤️ This post I’m including a pic of more of my images on the most viewed info I get from Fine Art America, just ’cause the array of colors…

November 17, 2021 – Delivering New Art to the Old Bakery and Emporium (across from the State Capital) Austin, Texas – 1 Painting & 2 Prints
Just a very quick note to say I restocked a few pieces at the Old Bakery & Emporium here in Austin. One, the SRV photo left side is a replacement for one sold, and my State Capital photo is back in 1st time since when the pandemic had closed the Bakery way back, and Autumn…

November 15, 2021 – Walking Bridge Zilker Park Painting, circa 2007, Updated Image for Fine Art America First Listed 07.03.18
Just a quick post – I updated my image for my 2007 oil painting of the Walking Bridge Zilker Park.

November 14, 2021 – My Most Viewed Image This Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Dance, #AcrylicPainting
Another interesting set of most seen of my images on Fine Art America, this for the 1st week in November. A recent and an older fall-autumn painting showed up. Plus a 3 year old small BW oil (w/red on the rower), plus 2 more very recent abstracts, including one (The Earth Sends Its Prayers) I…

November 12, 2021 – New #Acrylic #Watercolor Upload @FineArtAmerica – Walking in Light
Back near mid-October I posted about beginning a couple of new projects and featured my initial layin image below-left. The simple shift to the final image is a bit deceiving, as both the foreground and background had more of the intense coloring, some of which came off when I removed the masking fluid I’d applied.…

November 08, 2021 – My Most Viewed Image This Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Angel, #AcrylicPainting
My newer work continues to press ahead with a few long-time many-times viewed images, with another new painting, Angel, being uploaded to Fine Art America the last day before the week’s cut-off. Fall colors are in the air, with only 2 works on the list not related to autumn.

November 05, 2021 – New #Acrylic Upload @FineArtAmerica – Dance
An exuberant slash of color and shape swimming with colors and shapes, Dance is a new acrylic abstract I last worked on nearly a month ago in early October. I let it sit, hang on the wall, lean in a corner; recently wired and framed it, and never saw what my wife says she’s seen…

November 04, 2021 – Autumn Passage, New 18×24 #AcrylicPainting on Golden Light Molding Paste
Autumn Passage, a variation of Fall Color 1 (see below), a small 6×6 watercolor from last summer (2020), is similar but occupies its own 18×24 space. While the smaller piece, Fall Color 1 below, is I think better balanced within its square space, the larger newer piece, Autumn Passage is more intense with a bit…

November 01, 2021 – My Most Viewed Image This Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Fall Color 1, another early #watercolor, circa June 2020
Last week my BW watercolor, Arm Chair View Paris, from Sept 2020 was most views; this week another watercolor, with Fall colors, from June of the same year is my most viewed of the past week at Fine Art America!

October 28, 2021 – Sold! At the Old Bakery and Emporium (across from the State Capital) Austin, Texas – #SRV Statue Photo Capture + 1 Small Painting
Stevie Ray Vaughan’s of course a legend, esp here in Austin, and I was fortunate to be out searching for images to capture one very early grey-blue late-February morning, and I got very lucky ❤️

October 24, 2021 – My Most Viewed Image This Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Arm Chair View Paris, an early #watercolor #blackandwhite #figureart circa Sept 2020
An interesting most viewed results on my Fine Art America site this past viewing period — Plus, as surprising, was the fact 4 of my top 6 most viewed images were Paris themed, 2 of the remainder were also from places we’ve visited (New York & Vermont), followed by most viewed “period” of an Austin…

October 23, 2021 – New #Acrylic Upload @FineArtAmerica – Mother and Child
It’s been quite a development for this painting, growing from an idea of a previous work with a less defined at the time unrealized depiction of a younger and older person. Probably the most important development is my own realization of that development, lol! Frankly, though I often saw a realization-glimpse of that sort even…

October 21, 2021 – Delivering New Art to the Old Bakery and Emporium (across from the State Capital) Austin, Texas – 3 Piece Floral Set and 1 Autumn 6×6, all #Watercolors
Despite my many gripes about living in Austin, Texas, there’s of course a handful of things I do like. Among them is the opportunity the city makes for artisans 50 or older living in the Austin area to show their creative work. I’ve been fortunate to have some sales, and am very grateful to be…

October 20, 2021 – Sold! At the Old Bakery and Emporium (across from the State Capital) Austin, Texas – Paris Dreams (Dreaming of Paris)
I’m very grateful to my buyer at the Old Bakery & Emporium in Austin Texas! 🙏 With as few months as the Old Bakery’s been reopen, and all the precautions needed to be taken recently here in Austin, it’s a miracle to be able to share my art a this time 💕

October 17, 2021 – My Most Viewed Image For a 2nd Week @FineArtAmerica, Abstract Study 1, #watercolor
Though I’ve had some of my images repeat a 2nd week or more, or return again after awhile to place top of my views for the week at Fine Art America, it’s still rare for an abstract of mine to do so. It’s sorta ironic for me, since I began painting in earnest in the…

October 09, 2021 – New Most Viewed Image For the Week @FineArtAmerica, Abstract Study 1, #watercolor
Like my 2017 sunrise over the Austin skyline photo last week, another surprise most-viewed on Fine Art America for me this past week – Abstract Study 1, a painting I unintentionally wrecked, but still like enough I cleaned it up digitally and posted it on my Fine Art America site. More surprising to me was….

October 06, 2021 – Abstract Study 1 Turns Out to be A Nice Pattern for Gifts @FineArtAmerica!
Though, as per my recent blog post, of how I “messed up” this small 9×12 watercolor on paper, I also realized, after seeing it propped up in my art room, half crumpled, that the design itself was decent! So I digitally cleaned it up and uploaded it onto Fine Art America, where I’d sometimes lament…

October 04, 2021 -Accidentally Wrecking One of My Painting Efforts (Abstract Study 1) Helped Focus Me
Actually, I accidentally wrecked it, mostly because I surged forward wanting to do too much too quickly with too much paint & masking fluid, on paper – and – not enough patience to have thought this out 😏 In my own defense, some of those “too much’s” I didn’t realize were too much! 😊 Like….

September 24, 2021 – New Most Viewed Image For the Week @FineArtAmerica, Ridges of Spring Light, #watercolor, painted late 2019
I’ve recently been including Ridges of Spring Light in several of my blog posts about dappled light and masking fluid, not because it was meant to “be” dappled light, or that I used masking fluid creating it, though it does have three distinct areas of canvas (coated with absorbent ground to accept watercolors). No, Ridges…
