Another cactus magnet and a secret

 Here is another cactus magnet. This one is a saguaro cactus in front of the mountains, and there's a sunset. It is from an acrylic painting on canvas, and you can see the brush strokes. I lived in the desert for several years and did a lot of painting there. 

So what is the secret? I'm writing you from the past! Well, all blog posts are from the past as soon as you stop writing them. But  I can schedule posts ahead of time, and I spent this morning putting these magnets on Zazzle and writing individual blog posts for them, one per day.

That's really not much of a secret, Melsky!

Yes, I know. But I have written about magnets and cactuses and paintings so much today that brain is tired.

Who are you talking to anyway?

Uhh,  I don't know but here's the magnet:

Christmas in the Desert

 I painted this when I lived in the Mojave desert. I've always been inspired by the desert, even before I lived there  I went camping there a lot.

This magnet features a cat looking out the window at a Joshua tree. You can only tell it is the winter holiday season because there is a Christmas tree in the house and Christmas lights, so the magnet will look fine on the fridge year-round.

Now that I think of it, having Christmas magnets would be kind of a fun tradition. They could be kept with the holiday stuff, and once a year I would have fun refrigerator magnets. (I don't have magnets on the fridge because they add clutter, and I want the outside of my fridge to be the only uncluttered thing in my house :)

Today's magnet of the day - abstract floral plus whimsical

 Describing a lot of my paintings is hard. Are they abstract? Sort of, but almost all of them have some sort of identifiable flower or object. They are not what I'd consider pop art. They are just weird and wonderful colorful paintings with details of animals, flowers, objects, so much stuff. Art Brut is probably the most accurate description, but most people don't know what that is, and  I don't think that people use that as a search term. It means art that is just painted without really planning beforehand.

It is much easier to have a straightforward painting, where I could just say Blue Cat painting, or whatever it is.

Anyway, here is today's magnet, a gem from 2007 in rare landscape format :)

 Here is another in the abstract floral art magnet series! This one has rose and daisy flowers, and a bee, and leaves, and seeds.

Abstract floral, I love it

Another bright, vivid, vibrant abstract floral painting that has now become available in magnet form. It is not as abstract as most of my flower paintings.

The original of this one is acrylic on wood, and I have it hanging in my hallway upstairs.

The Ghost, The Cat and the Tiger Lilies

This is one of my favorite paintings I have done. The original hangs in my house today, but you can buy it in magnet form.

 

Actually, you can buy this image on a lot of products. The way Zazzle works is that you can take an image from any product and put it on any other product (if the artist has marked that option for their products). It just really isn't practical to spend the time putting every one of my images on everything they have.

Abstract Floral Painting

 This original painting is acrylic on paper and from around 2008 I think. Looking at this now, I want to do a series of paintings in this style.
