 "Wintry Mix" © Melody Cleary 2018 Working on this painting I began with the warmish colors of fall and then later the addition of the blue and bluish white conjured a feeling of winter frost and ice. Thus, a wintry mix. 22 x 15 inches, acrylic mixed media on 140# smooth watercolor paper. $300 unframed. Contact me at the Contact page.

It's the Fall season.....how can the colors not speak to an artist! I'm back to painting after having to take time off after a fall and readjusting my life to being non ambulatory. No surprise as I've been affected with Charcot Marie Tooth disease for about my whole life.....a slow progressive peripheral nerve disease. I wore braces for almost 30 years, with crutches, and a scooter outdoors, then indoors.....now just the scooter gets me around. Just another change for me and I couldn't do it without my devoted husband's help..... and he just retired a year ago. 35 years of marriage we celebrate this November!! 'Tis the season to be grateful! "Early Fall". 12 x 12 inch cradled panel. Acrylic and mixed media. Contact me if you're interested in this one.

If you love forests, you'll love these four 6 x 6" panels that, combined, make up one landscape image.
They can also be separated and mounted horizontally or vertically. Or individually. These are particular favorites of mine and the set is priced at $300, unframed. Please contact me if you have an interest in purchasing them from my studio. MELODY CLEARY - CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE, NATURE AND ABSTRACT PAINTINGS I haven't posted since October due to neck/arm issues again....and well, the holidays when I get little art accomplished. November began with me joining artist Nancy Hillis' Studio Journey online workshop to help keep my hand in in a small way. It's all about ABSTRACTS!! Each month we are given her 'bundle' or talks, demos, and study exercises focusing on working loose and unplanned....intuitively. And making your own unique marks....love the mark making. Good for me that one can go at their own pace. Here are some examples of my experimentation. So bear with me while I continue pacing myself and experimenting. Comments on my studies above are welcome.
MELODY CLEARY - CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE, NATURE AND ABSTRACT PAINTINGS   These are 12x12 flat wood panels and I'm trying a new tool called a Catalyst silicone wedge to
apply all of the acrylic paint. Sometimes I also use a bristle brush to do some soft blending. Just experimenting to see the effects I can achieve. MELODY CLEARY - CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE, NATURE, AND ABSTRACT PAINTINGS

MELODY CLEARY - CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE, NATURE AND ABSTRACT PAINTINGS  24 x 30 x 1.5 canvas, acrylic. Work in progress.
Trying some new mixed tones to get this canvas reworked and headed in an inspired direction. I love trees and the addition of those trunks did the trick. Love the variety of restful greens. Plodding onward. MELODY CLEARY - CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE PAINTINGS, CONTEMPORARY ABSTRACT PAINTINGS |
