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 14, 2022 – Painting + Capturing Photos of the Sides of 2 #ImpressionistAbstract Panoramas Accepted by Art for the People Gallery Austin
A few posts ago I announced about my art audition for an upcoming show at Austin local gallery, Art for the People, and mentioned I’d had a couple of my Impressionist Abstract panoramas chosen! One, the red version, already had its sides painted, but the newer blue version didn’t, so I got to work right…

January 13, 2022 – 2 New Works In-Progress : Good Conversation + Healthy Vines Happy Hearts – #AbstractPainting #LyricalAbstraction #TheAdjacentPossible
Wasn’t sure what I wanted to paint this particular day, just really needed to 😊 I’ve been reading a creativity book, The Adjacent Possible; filled with good ideas, one of which emphasizes “just starting.” A concept the author calls zero to 1, which she explains is like this huge leap, from nothing, to something. She…

January 12, 2022 – Auditioned 3 Paintings at #ArtForThePeopleGallery, Snuck in 3 Unannounced Works, Got 4 of 6 Accepted!!!
Well, I didn’t really “sneak” 3 additional works into my art audition at Art for the People Gallery here in Austin — but I did pack 3 extra pieces into my car & after they’d seen the 3 they’d asked to see, I asked them if they’d like to see some even newer work, basically…

January 10, 2022 – New Work In-Progress : Walking the Stars
Recently one of my posts mentioned working on a larger than usual for me canvas, 24×36, on the floor, with the 8 year old. I didn’t think to get a pic of him adding some of the specklings of black on the dried fiber paste, but wanted to show ya’ll what the image, Walking the…

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 06, 2022 – Meant to Write More About Lyrical Abstraction and Other Fun Stuff, But Finished Preparing Pics to Take to the #OldBakeryandEmporium (across from the Texas State Capital)
I’ve been having fun learning esoteric-to-me art theory stuff ( much of it embedded with with art history, esp re comtemporary art ), and wrote a nifty rambling but fun-to-me post yesterday delving into the whole concept of #LyricalAbstraction – all the while amazed I never caught whiff of that term, mainly because the essence…

January 04, 2022 – Pondering the Past and Present of My Art – 2 Landscapes 17 Years Apart
Besides being 17 years apart, there’s a lot both separating the two yet joining them both. I’ll admit, the 2004 oil is far more developed than it’s younger brother from this year, lol! But, it did take me 4 years of effort to get to the point of painting an oil at that level. It’s…

December 29, 2021 – I’m (slowly) Creating a Product Page for Folks to See and Buy My Paintings – 1st Concrete Step : Create Target Galleries on #FineArtAmerica
My singular goal is not to simply channel all my online and other painting sales through Fine Art America, though their direct messaging system from buyer to me, and back again, is very good. Rather it’s to ease into making my art listings into product categories, ie, acrylics, small works, etc, like I wrote about…

December 23, 2021 – I’m (slowly) Creating a Product Page for Folks to See and Buy My Paintings Here On My Site!
Why I’m doing this, creating a permanent page or post on my site with listings of my art for sale, when I have sorta the same thing on Fine Art America, is an answer with many components, all of which dovetail into one main thing — time ♥️ Here’s a list of the reasons. Some…

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 11, 2021 – A Gift Horse? Maybe! An Experiment I Just Might Expand On – Yellow #ImpressionistAbstract 1
I’d been searching for a way to experiment with the Light Molding Paste I use a lot recently in my newer acrylic & acrylic / watercolor painting, and kept reading ’bout one can mix paint directly in with the paste. But that’s all I’d get, info wise, lol! So, I had an errant 12×24 1.5…

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 24, 2021 – Working on Paintings; In-Progress : Valentines 2022, In-Progress Since Early October, lol!
Not quite finished, but looking fairly good, especially considering back in early October I thought, “Yeah, I can finish this quick then save it for early next year.” Now, I’m thinking, really? Will I really finally get this finished by January next year, lol!

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 20, 2021 – Working on Paintings; In-Progress : Night Dancer, or Possibly, Duet, Part 2
Though I did start a watercolor pencil line drawing on a blank canvas of (male) Night Dancer’s partner (left side of a potential duet combo painting, nothingto show of it yet), I couldn’t let go of working this painting yet. My sorta solution?

November 19, 2021 – Working on Paintings; In-Progress : Night Dancer, or Possibly, Duet
First, I did work on my previous in-progress post’s work, Butterfly Starburst, adding some grey-greenish lighter tone streams to the white streams on the left side of the painting. I’ll give my eyes a rest from it, see it new in a few day, then see if maybe it’s done 😊 Second, regarding the iffy…

November 18, 2021 – Working on Paintings; In-Progress : Butterfly Starburst
I’ve mentioned a few posts back I now have “lots” of paintings in progress – a good thing, a fun thing, and a slightly problematic thing for me in re to blog posts, well, my blog posts, lol! What I’m gonna try, with a day or 2 lag on the in-progress work posted (I’d like…

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 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…

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 18, 2021 – A Good Problem, Lots of Interesting Pics and Posts Developing in My Blog Pipeline! Part 3, 1st Completed Work of 5 – “Playtime, Mother and Child”
I’m also breaking a bit of tradition in terms of my routine and going ahead and posting my completed image, not as good a resolution etc as I’d like (yet), and also not yet uploaded to Fine Art America. It’s simply a time choice. Paint and create. Or paint less but massage the photo capture…

October 13, 2021 – A Good Problem, Lots of Interesting Pics and Posts Developing in My Blog Pipeline! Part 2
Recently I posted 3 other canvas paintings I’ve been working on, and here I’m showing the 2 I’d mentioned in that post but didn’t have photo captures of yet. Both are 18×24 on canvas, with light molding paste from Golden, but, at this stage applied slightly differently.

October 11, 2021 – A Good Problem, Lots of Interesting Pics and Posts Developing in My Blog Pipeline! Part 1
And the 3 images above do not include 2 more 18×24 semi-abstract semi-figure works, lol! Which is great for my painting and fitness interests, but leaving me a tiny bit in the lurch blogging-time wise – but – with a wealth of new material, well, materializing 😊 It’s my intent to have a blog post…

August 10, 2021 – My Newest Art Upload @FineArtAmerica – Testing the Water (Acrylic on Canvas)
Several things went into making this one of my favored positive-surprise results: 1. Golden’s Light Molding Paste, which itself allowed several things a. creation of a descriptive molding directing movement and form b. an absorption surface that allowed my use of watered down acrylics which gave me my currently-favored look – watercolors c. and least…

May 05, 2021 – Lady in Paris 1889, My Newest #AcrylicPainting Upload @FineArtAmerica
* I began Lady in Paris 1889 in July last year, nearly a year ago now, and am glad to say I reached a resolution of how I wanted it to look, or more to the point, how I wanted it to feel, and finally uploaded it to Fine Art America yesterday ♥️

April 21, 2021 – Moving in Our 70’s in a Time of Covid – Catching the New Light at the New Apartment
Most of what we took yesterday (Tue, the 20th) were boxed paintings, but one, the acrylic Lady in Paris 1889 which I’d been working on, chosen ’cause the paint would dry quickly minimizing smears & all that, lol, and that one, not too big, at 20×20, was super light, so I just hand carried it.

Closed my eBay Listings, For Now 03.11.20
In my continuing effort to grapple with getting a handle on my time, combined with the fees and lack of sales, I’ve suspended my listings on eBay for now. To be fair, due to time choices, I didn’t do as much advertising and social media as I could have, at least without taking more time…

My Three Latest Art and Photo Uploads to Fine Art America 😊
“…these are my three most recent uploads to my site on Fine Art America. I’d wanted to do more, more frequently, and post about each one, but as I pointed out in my most recent post, time and other priorities took the lead, and their toll…Still, this has worked out to really show my creative…
