Mini series…

Mini series because I had 3 9x12 canvases and this is what happened! Totally too sweet-as an artist I really need more angst.  Oh well.

The Garden Party

 

A sweet piece picturing a garden party. It is the first of three. It is only 9x12, so a fairly small piece. I decided to call my little dotted horse a ‘hordot’ …for me this animal represents pure kindness and he/she shows up in a lot of my paintings. I would describe this piece as naive, narrative and a blend of modernism and primitive simplification.  Art speak is so obscure-just hope you like it…di

Trodding onward…

 

Still finishing some smalls for EBay sales….think I am ready for some bigger work but have 7-8 more small canvases and my goal this year is to utilize what I have in my studio! I really am quite happy with what I am doing..so no complaints👍di

Finished finally!

 Did two videos of this art journal and both were too large to post on this blogspot! So I am posting a few pictures of some spreads and the whole video can be viewed on Instagram #difergiart  Did I mention it took me two years to finish this (it did sit on a shelf a lot of that time) and I seriously doubt I will do anymore (this is the fourth)….di

Working small…

 

So this is 2024 so far, minus two that sold!  I am enjoying these but know eventually I will want to do a larger piece.  I list these on EBay as ‘Difergi’ ..l know eBay is not a prestigious gallery BUT the supplemental income is nice.  And most people can afford these smaller pieces.

Large pieces can take me a month-maybe more, so of course they are pricey. Oh my-Talking about money is so crass! Let’s pretend we are all rich and of course you would like to buy a large piece for your penthouse. Or how about, you enjoy looking and I will continue enjoying creating. Love….di

Work in progress…..

 

These are pages from an art journal that I have been working on for over a year now! I just work on it between projects so it is slow going. I made the mistake of making too many pages and I will not do that again! This is my fourth art journal and I just do them for fun. I still have 5 spreads to do and some more on the cover page.  The next time you see a post on this journal, it will be in a video and finished!

“In Queue”

 

This is the fifth of five (yay done) of five 12x12 panels. My goal is to use up the small canvases that I already have in the studio.

To me this implies a line in a cafe somewhere in fantasy land (where I apparently reside). I actually really enjoy doing the small pieces. Di

Upcoming auction….

 

A new venture-online auctions. My first foray….

This is on Facebook, ‘Best Bid Scoop of Art’, and will run from Thursday February 8th until Sunday the 11th. The category for this auction is ‘Under 100’.  We are allowed to have seven items. My pieces are 5x7, 8x8, and 8x10. We will see how this goes.  There are 4-5 different artists.

If you are viewing this in time for the auction, please check it out! I am keeping my fingers crossed. Di

Me and My Friends…

 

This is an 8x10 piece for an online auction in February. All pieces must be under $100 ..so therefore in my case they have to be smaller to comply with the price point. This piece engages me as I have a feeling that the rabbits are a bit mischievous and naughty.  

Let’s hope it is received positively by people not use to my ‘quirkiness’…di

These are additional pieces-I am allowed 7….

2024-it is going to be a great year…

 I always love the beginning of a new year. Other people have resolutions, I redefine my art goals. And I get excited. This year I am cutting back and eliminating a lot of the hustle. I plan to work smaller and want to finish a couple of lingering projects. Having said that- my first event is an online auction. The theme is “under $100”. So, I  am working on a smaller scale. Each artist is allowed 7 pieces but they are suppose to be newly created. I have 3 finished and 4 to go! The auction is the second week of February…no pressure (lol)….Seriously, it should be fine and I am looking forward to finding new collectors.
