Interplanetary Splendor by Terry Honstead

I am finally sort of settled in my new home and I have started painting again!  It has felt so good to work on things.  Now I decided I had better start blogging again!  This is my first painting since I restarted after Christmas!  I was thinking of Christmas and New Year when I painted it and it is special to me as I feel like I have a new beginning!  New house, new studio, new haircut, and new year!  I hope this year is wonderful for all of you!  My goal for the year is to work and develop my style in mixed media.  I want my work to be recognized as mine!  This on is not totally finished by the way!  I ordered some metallics and I want to add those before I consider this done!  If you have any questions, feel free to email me at honstead@paulbunyan.net.

"Eyes In The Window Of Life" by Terry Honstead

This is one of those paintings where I let the painting show me the way it wanted to go.  I started with geometric shapes that were interlocking and overlapping.  It sat that way for quite some time until I decided that I wanted to use mixed media on it.  Then I had lots of fun painting designs, spraying, stenciling, etc.  I got quite a bit done on it and then hit another block!  Again it sat for quite a while, but then I decided to put a set of eyes and a hint of a face.  That pulled it all together for me and I did some more line work to finish it, and now I feel like it is done.  I am happy with it now and the name says it all.....

"Kinsley" by Terry Honstead

 This piece is started and I kind of hit a block.  I am not sure what else I am going to do on it so it sits in my studio, half done.

I worked on this painting all day yesterday.  It is coming along, but needs a lot more darks.  I haven't even started her clothing yet because I do not know what color I am going to make it.  In the actual picture that I have, her outfit was a really pale pink, but that wouldn't show up so well in the painting.  I am thinking maybe to go with a burgundy or red of some sort.  I also need to put in a lot more darks.

"Summer Blossoms" by Terry Honstead

This is a 40 x 30 mixed media painting that has lots of meaning for me.  Within the painting there is a story of my life.  If you look closely you can see a baby face (mine) in the second flower from the right on the top.  I also have my name, my report card from 3rd grade, and a ferris wheel (because my grandparents were carnival people).  There are other things as well.  If you would like to see more, you can find me at:  terry-honstead.artistwebsites.com  or email me at:  honstead@paulbunyan.net.

"Branchin Out" by Terry Honstead

This 11 x 14  mixed media painting  was done using doilies, spray paint, lace, and lastly negative painting with acrylic paint.  I wanted to give the impression of a tree without actually painting the whole tree.  I wanted the patterns in the doily and lace to become branches as well as where I used negative painting.  I was happy with how this turned out.  If you would like to see more of my work or purchase a print, you can find it at terry-honstead.artistwebsites.com or email me at  honstead@paulbunyan.net.

"Under the Bridge" by Terry Honstead

  

This  17 x 11 Mixed Media on board was done in layers.  I used the same shape as I used for a previous painting, but the background is totally different, giving this painting a whole different feel.  If you would like to see more, you can go to terry-honstead.artistwebsites.com/ or email me at: honstead@paulbunyan.net.

"Two As One" by Terry Honstead

. 

This 24 x 18 in painting is on cradle board.  I experimented with my liquid acrylics to make the background and then decided to use torn paper collage for the figures.  I had at first painted them, but was just not happy with the results, so I tried the collage and now it seems as it should be!  If anyone is interested in seeing the previous version or purchasing a print, you can find it at:  terry-honstead.artistwebsites.com or email me at:  honstead@paulbunyan.net

"Study in Blue" by Terry Honstead

This is a 24 x 18 mixed media piece that is mostly acrylic.  I added several blues and mixed them with whites and poured and let them mix again on the board.  This was a fun way to start a painting.  When I was satisfied with that, I added darks and whites where I thought it needed.  I was going to add some collage to it at this point, but I liked it too much the way it is now, so I decided to leave it the way it was.  If you would like to see more of my work or purchase a print, you can find them at :  terry-honstead.artistwebsites.com/  or email me at:  honstead@paulbunyan.net.

Many Minis by Terry Honstead

I thought I would post these pics that I have done because they are all so similar (except for one).  They are all 5 x 7 and in the same style  and colors.  I guess it is pretty obvious what colors I like to use!!  If anyone if interested in anything like this they can contact me at:   honstead@paulbunyan.net

Heavens Open by contemporary artist Sue Kemnitz

I confess, this beautiful painting has actually been hanging on my wall for three months waiting for a name. Yesterday morning I finally came to my senses and asked Jesus what He thought and immediately the name, "heavens open" came to mind. So excited! It's like the painting is finally finished!
