This watery abstract painting began in acrylic on panel, and when I switched back to oils it seemed the right paint to finish it.  The painting is evocative of the blues, greens and reflections of the Pacific Ocean, then plunging to the underwater depths and rock formations of the ocean floor .

The painting is on archival panel, ready to frame in a standard sized frame.

Another version of an iris!  I like the liveliness and abstract qualities of this painting, yet it's clearly an iris bloom. En "la coleur peche",  the color peach.  I took the photo for this painting from a visit last year to an iris farm in the Napa Valley, and selected this standout flower from the masses of color in the fields.  If you live in California, iris are just starting to bloom . . .we've hardly had winter here.

"Mood at Sunset" abstract painting by Lynne Cunningham

"Mood at Sunset" by Lynne Cunningham

acrylic and oil paints on panel, 11" x 14"

$250.00 (unframed) 

November, 2013 

   If interested in this painting, contact me   H E R E;    this one will be going to a gallery soon.

I haven't posted much in the last few weeks due to being busy with a couple of other art-related projects going on behind the scenes; I'll have more news about one of the very exciting projects later!   When I have some images and details I'll be posting those - but for right now all I want to say is the project focuses on the topic of abstract painting.

Here's a work-in-progress photo below, that I took when "Mood at Sunset" was in the first stage, working with acrylic applied with a palette knife and just playing with shapes and the color palette.  It seemed that continuing in acrylic wasn't the way to complete the painting so I played around some more with this in oil paints, palette knife and in a very close color palette in oils adding scratching, texture and impasto paint.  I'm much happier at the completion of this - - much can go on in the start of a painting, in the underpainting stage.

"Playing Around Town", abstract oil painting by Lynne Cunningham

"Playing Around Town", oil on canvas

24" x 24" x 1.5"

$850.   available

California residents; sales tax is additional

shipping price  (within U.S.A.) is included

I'm still keeping within the 'city' theme that I like, and still playing around that subject!  Here is "Playing Around Town" which was completed in stages.  It's actually a re-work of a recent painting and I'm happy with it now at this stage.  It's an experimental color palette for me, painted with a painting knife, painting brushes and spending a lot of time gazing at the canvas!

I've been busy with other projects and it is so good to get back to painting.

October, 2013 

   If interested in this painting, contact me   H E R E;    this one will be going to a gallery soon.

I've been busy in the studio! First getting ready for and hosting an Open Studio event, and then setting up the studio again for a week of focused private instruction with my student.   Topics covered were the color wheel, color mixing and color theory, and one of my favorite topics - "Nature in the Abstract" -- so many resources to be found in the world of nature for ideas on Abstract paintings.

My student found me through my website; emailed me; we spoke by phone a few times and I suggested subjects we'd cover and places to stay - she flew in from the East Coast. I supplied all the materials and she brought her favorite brushes .  Painting in my studio was very comfortable for the 2 of us, and it must have been truly inspiring for her; my student had a huge breakthrough in painting!  See the results of the personalized workshop here:

"Hotter than a Match Head", mixed media abstract landscape

"Hotter than a Match Head", mixed media on panel

Acrylic + oil paints; 12" x 16"

completed May, 2013

$175.  

including shipping; U.S.A.

Having a lot of fun here, painting these mixed media abstracts on panel.  I paint, and make things up from imagination and when I'm finished these paintings remind me of some thing, or somewhere.  This reminds me of the agricultural town of Thermal in the California desert , looking towards the glowing Mecca Hills with the agricultural hayfields in front of the hills.  

The wonderful thing about abstracts is one can be reminded of whatever, and wherever it is, that these paintings bring to mind !

The painting is in acrylic paints on archival panel; it can be framed in a standard sized (off the shelf) frame.  It's signed on the back, and when shipped is protected in foamcore, wrapped in a protective plastic sleeve.  Shipping is by FedEx Ground.  If you have questions please contact me here 

These current paintings will be shown at the Jack London Square Artists, participating in East Bay Open Studios.  Our popup show of 45 artists at the former Barnes and Noble location at Jack London Square in Oakland, CA will be open the first two weekends in June.

Aqueous Garden, mixed media abstract by Lynne Cunningham

"Aqueous Garden", 24" x 30"

mixed media (acrylic and oil paints) on canvas

completed 4/12/13

$1200.  , shipping is included

This painting is another in a series of abstract waterscapes ; the series began in August of 2010! There are subjects I return to repeatedly for the inspiration.   I'm always attracted to water, the flow and patterns created by it.  

When painting spontaneously in my studio recently (no photo references; just paint, canvas and imagination), the painting emerged looking like an underwater garden, a tidepool.  This was a fascinating painting in the few stages it underwent to paint and see the idea emerge. I wrote about the process   h e r e  while in the middle of painting several works .

For more of the paintings from this series, please view the abstract waterscapes on    my website

The painting is finished on the edges, and ready to hang.  It is wrapped, double-boxed and the shipping costs are included.  Payment will be with a credit card, and a Paypal receipt is emailed to you.  For any questions or for purchase  please contact me H E R E

mixed media abstract painting "City Vernacular (version two)" by Lynne Cunningham

"City Vernacular (version two)"
mixed media ; acrylic, oil on canvas  20" x 20" square

$650.  available

contact me      h e r e

contact me for questions, comments or purchase
shipping is $35. additional, U.S.A. and Canada

This painting began in acrylic on canvas, and the major portion of it was painted in oils. I was a little distracted while painting this over the weekend and all I remember is beginning on the underpainting of acrylic , painting in oils to finish with both palette knife and brushwork.  The big decision at the end is:  "is it finished", meanwhile keeping the painting from becoming too overworked.  I think I got it!

This is on deep canvas, 2", gallery wrap with the edges painted neutral gray; it's ready to hang.  

"Fields of Joy (one)", oil on canvas

20" x 16"

completed March 3, 2013

$350. - including shipping

(Calif. residents pay sales tax) 

"Fields of Joy" is a painting that I started at the end of a day of painting at my easel.  I've often produced my favorite paintings after a long day of painting, and this one pleases me very much, if I do say so!  It draws from Mondrian,  and my post-modern era roots in southern California!  Modernism is back and I'm enjoying it.  

I live in a neighborhood surrounded by safflower fields, alfalfa fields and right now,  winter wheat.  In the summer the sunflowers are everywhere . . . so there you have the origins for the name of this painting.

I'm focusing on abstracts and abstracted landscapes for 2013; a new season of spring, the time of growth and I'm doing new work.  Please contact me if you have questions or want to purchase.

"Road to the River", mixed media abstract painting by Lynne Cunningham

"Road to the River", mixed media on canvas

16" x 20"

completed Feb. 9, 2013

$275. - including shipping

(Calif. residents pay sales tax) 

This painting began as some gestural marks on canvas, then I came in with areas of acrylic paints.  I'm using a familiar color palette -  vermillion or red-orange, medium yellow, cerulean and white.  When I paint in abstracts I have plenty of paint laid out ; pots of premixed colors are sitting on my palette ready to dip into.  

I put on some music, that's a must-have and paint fast ~ that's my method for painting in abstracts!  Later on I added some layers in oil paints because I wanted some more subtlety in the finished painting.  

I'm focusing on abstracts and abstracted landscapes for 2013; a new season of spring, the time of growth and I'm doing new work.  Please contact me if you have questions or want to purchase.
