"Daydreams", original painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin
“Daydreams”
The idea of this painting actually came to me in a dream. The beautiful blues, violets, and greens jumped out of my imagination, right on to the canvas, just like it was meant to be. This piece was produced with a batik technique, on rice paper, and mounted to the canvas.
This piece is sold, but commissions are welcomed. Feel free to contact me via email at saltlightwatercolors@yahoo.com. You can also follow me on Facebook and Instagram.

"Make a Wish", Original Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin
Make a Wish
8”x 8”
Original Art
Watercolor Batik and Acrylic Ink on gallery depth
canvas
I keep remembering my childhood when the days of summer were coming to an end. Wandering through a field of dandelions that were about to give up their “clocks” for another year. I had to find the “perfect one” and make the wish. A wish and a dream from the heart. Finally, I would spot it. The Perfect One. Inhale in, a deep breath, the wish. Exhale out, with hope and child-like faith. The wish. This painting is a symbolic reminder to never give up. Deep breaths in, deep breaths out.
This painting is sold, but commissions are welcome. Please feel free to reach out to me via email my website, or on social media. I would love to hear from you!

In the Silence, Original Mixed Media Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin
In the Silence
In the Silence began with a stark, white, canvas. As I began thinking about this painting and what I wanted to "say" with it, I added vintage text and vintage musical notes. I added glazes and layers of paint so that just a portion of the text shows through. I added more layers of ink with stencils and then wiped it away. I used inks to create the many layers and branches of the trees, as well as the moody atmosphere in this piece.
As I was creating, I thought about how we all start out as a "blank canvas". We begin to add rich layers to our lives, with words, with music, with emotions. Sometimes, there are things we can't say and feelings we can't express. These words, feelings, emotions begin to tell our stories. And sometimes, we cover up those layers, those feelings, those words, much like I covered up part of this canvas with paint. We stay silent. We have no words to express how we feel. Even so, we are rooted and we grow. Our branches seek the light through the darkness. Through experiences in our lives, we branch out, we grow, we learn., We add layers of color, richness, and texture to our lives. Sometimes, the messiness turns into unexpected beauty, much like this painting did.
This painting is the first in a new series I am working on. This painting was created on an 18 X 24 gallery wrapped canvas. It is sold, but I'm open to commissions.
Please send me an email if you have any questions or comments...I would love to hear from you!

“Wonder”, Original Mixed Media Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin
Wonder
Trees seem to be my thing. I’m always inspired and awed by them. They are always so resilient and ever changing at the same time. They never cease to amaze me. For this piece, I combined many layers of hand-painted papers, inks, and acrylic paint. I also painted “outside of my comfort zone”, using colors that I don’t normally use. Finally, I added modeling paste to add depth and more texture.
This piece is available now on Facebook, Artistic Souls Gallery.

"Today I Choose to Be a Light", Original Mixed Media Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin
"Today I Choose to Be a Light"
This is the latest in my little series. The title is, "Today I Choose to Be a Light". I've been pondering the thought that every day we can choose our attitudes towards others and towards life in general. This is the thought I chose for today. I'm not perfect, but how can I be a light for others? Can I extend a kind word, look at someone and smile, acknowledge someone and look them in the eye without just brushing past them? Today I will make that effort and do my best.
This little painting is 8 X 8, framed in a simple black floater frame. It is available. Feel free to send me an email with any questions or comments.

"Strength of Trees", Original Mixed Media Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin
Strength of Trees
“A tree with strong roots laughs at storms”. – Malay Proverb
The strength of trees.
Roots running deep into the dark soil.
Branches reaching upward into the light.
Ever changing, ever growing.
Leaves budding out into the warmth of spring. Green and vibrant, fluttering in the soft
summer breezes. Bursting into vibrant
hues of oranges and yellows, even as they are beginning their descent from the
branches they’ve called home. We can
learn a lot from the strength of trees.
Our roots produce the branches, stretching out into the sun, craving the
warmth and the light. Those branches
could almost represent the different paths of our life journey. They hold all the beautiful leaves, the
experiences and memories of our lives.
The leaves almost seems to remind us that our lives can withstand the
winds of change, and although different, each is beautiful in its own season.
This piece was created on a RedeemWood recycled wooden
pallet. The trunks are heavily textured
and the leaves were created with heavy watercolor paper. It is finished with a beautiful resin
coating.
This piece is sold, but commissions are welcome. Please contact me at saltlightwatercolors@yahoo.com with any questions or comments.

"Colorado Autumn Aspen", Original Mixed Media Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin
"Colorado Autumn Aspen"
This was a commissioned mixed media piece that I recently completed. My client lives in Arizona but grew up in Monte Vista, CO. On the bottom portion of the piece, I added pieces of a 1964 Colorado Road Map. I placed the town of Monte Vista in the upper center portion of the map . This made it unique and very special to my client. The trees were constructed of paper, paint, ink, and modeling paste. The leaves were done with hand-painted paper - each one torn individually from the paper. I loved working on this piece and the client told me she will always treasure this piece. There is nothing more rewarding!

“Dragonfly Dream”, Original Mixed Media Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin
Dragonfly Dream
I must be dreaming of spring...I seem to be gravitating to these softer, lighter colors and images. This little dragonfly was created using paint, inks, painted paper, and stencils. You can see how it started out (below) and where it ended up. It was a transformation, for sure.
This little piece has not been spoken for yet. It measures 9 X 11. If you have comments or are interested, please send me an email, I would love to hear from you!
