New Painting: Frack This!

"Frack This!" | Oil on canvas | 12" x 12" | © 2012 Marilyn Fenn | I didn't paint this to be about fracking, but I had just read an article about it, and the title seemed to fit this piece. I try to keep politics out of my paintings, but they seem to creep into my titles. Or I could have called it something about "pressure." Whatever. See full post »

New Painting: Flamingo Mallets

"Flamingo Mallets" | Oil on canvas | 12" x 12" | © 2012 Marilyn Fenn | This is, for all practical purposes, my first red painting (I have one other in progress, and I did two small ones in acrylic on paper -- just sketches -- over the years, but those hardly seem to count). When I take a look at most of the art I have done, a few have red in them, but most do not. See full post »

New Painting: Sugar Max

"Sugar Max" | Oil on canvas | 12" x 12" | © 2012 Marilyn Fenn | I wanted to do one more new painting before hanging the show at Austin Art Space. I started this one with the intention of creating a 4th more geometric style work like the ones that started me off on my latest series of abstracts: "It's Awash," "Paradigms Lost," and "High-Risk Pool." A few rectangles into the painting, and I couldn't restrain myself any longer...I had to make this one more fluid and free. Then, my husband brought home 4 brownies for me from a meeting with our neighborhood organic gardeners, no less. I ate them all over the course of the evening/night, and stayed up into the wee hours to finish this piece! Wheeee! See full post »

New Painting: Kelp Nouveau

"Kelp Nouveau" | Oil on canvas | 12" x 12" | © 2012 Marilyn Fenn | Here's another piece I started last fall and thought I was finished with, but recently I decided I wasn't really happy with it, so I reworked it into this. See full post »

New Painting: Talk About Art!

"Talk About Art!" | Oil on canvas | 12" x 12" | © 2012 Marilyn Fenn | And now for something completely different... I haven't lost my mind, really. But, this is not quite like anything I've done before, except for maybe one or two very old crazy abstract works...but not really even like those. See full post »
