Mixed Moments

24"x24" mixed moments. A new painting in my wine series. 

I'm using plaster and acrylic paint a lot lately. I love the 3D texture and effect it gives. 

Hope you like it too. :)

Latest in my new wine series. 36"x36" This painting has a lot of texture. www.traceybautista.com for more info. Thanks for checking out my new work.

Moving into a larger studio space this weekend.

I'm very excited to be moving into a larger studio space soon. It's in the same building but a larger space. I'll post pics as soon as I'm all moved in. I've been painting larger pieces and have outgrown my current space. I was tripping over things constantly.
I saw the Winnie the Pooh Movie last week. It was surprisingly good. :) I also had a chance to visit the Dali Museum in Florida. I'm pretty convinced now that we are celebrating the works of a madman. He seemed insane. He even had a quote that said "The difference between me and a madman is that I'm not mad". Seems right to me. His art is amazing and well thought out but there's a section on his life. Photography of him and it's totally crazy time.
I can't wait to get moved in and back to painting. I want to paint more minis for Christmas ornaments and I have an idea for another larger piece involving resin and glazes.

Mini paintings also Make Great Christmas Ornaments!

 

Mini paintings are $12 each and come with a little easel. But I can attach a ribbon and they look great as original artwork Christmas Ornaments also. 

America's Got Talent Houston

I recently filmed some footage for America's Got Talent Houston. It Aired last night on NBC. It was a lot of fun.

AmeriCAR

I participated in the Houston Art Car parade this weekend. It's the oldest and largest art car parade in the country. This is my art car... The AmeriCAR.

A study in Red

36"x36"

I don't have a name for this one yet. I've been doing a lot of abstracts lately. I love to see how the colors react together. I love the movement and depth you can get with paint. The surprises of color.

IKEA Houston- Sofa Painting

Painting a sofa at IKEA Houston for the Art Car Parade weekend. It was a lot of work and more physically demanding than we thought it would be. We were sore today. But it was so much fun and I loved how it turned out.

Dripping Paint

I love dripping paint. I love how this turned out. How the colors mixed and swirled. I had an idea for awhile. It was a little more complicated then I originally thought to get it just the way I wanted. But I love how it turned out. I hope you do too.

Cupcakes

I love painting food. I love eating food too. So maybe that's why. I love cupcakes too. Not as much as sushi though. I had an art show this weekend and so many people walked by and got so excited when they saw my cupcake paintings. It was pretty funny. I guess everyone loves cupcakes

Poppy field

30x40 inch 2.5 inch deep wrap around canvas.

I painted poppies today. They made me happy. I really enjoyed working on this painting and am pleased how it turned out. After I finished this I came home. I intended on cleaning my studio and organizing but I was to tired. Tomorrow is another day. 

Hero

I have been thinking a lot lately about our heroes. 

Some unsung heroes.. like firemen, nurses and doctors. 

I started to paint this firemen's helmet and found myself wanting to make it a firemen's helmet for america, not just a particular city. 

both paintings are oil, 3x3 inches and include a little easel. Makes great gifts. $15 Thanks for looking

Chips and Drinks

I think I may have had something on my mind today when I was painting. hmmmm... LOL
I LOVE chips and Salsa! Almost as much as sushi. It might be a tie. I love paintings these little paintings. I hope you like them too.

Red High Heels

12x12 inches. $100

My new Red shoes. I love these shoes. I went shopping with my friend Belinda to buy red heels. We had a lot of fun and found the perfect red shoes too.

Zebra Chair

18x24 inches $175

I painted this Zebra Print chair from one of my dining room chairs. I bought a set of 6 of these chairs at an auction in Rosenberg, Texas. Not all have held up through the years. They originally had a tan fabric seat and were a dark wood frame. I painted them black and covered the seat with a soft zebra print. We once had a dinner party and one of our guest was sitting in one of the chairs when the leg gave out and brought him tumbling to the ground. We have since bought new chairs.
