Here's "Leonora Carrington" in her newest form. The circle around the head of the man is something I haven't done in a while but has been a reoccurring image in my work. For me the circle signifies being in a certain head space or bubble of thought.

Here's a new painting I've started. I like to paint positive words when starting a canvas to let it carry that energy into the space where it ends up. 🌟
What words would you like to be embedded into a painting that's hanging in your home?

Today I discovered the joys of neon paint while working on these 2 paintings. They mix the most beautiful tones so I will be using them in my new work. Any excuse for a new art supplies order! 😂

Hi everyone, I have 5 limited editions of prints so I've set up a print shop on my website www.michellehartonart.com the link is also in my bio.
🌟
Some of the prints are based on local folklore in Cavan about The Green Lake, Swellan Lake and a legend from Kill. A copy of the story is included.
🌟
The print run of each piece is limited to 100. Each print is professionally printed with a white boarder and signed by me with the name of the painting and the edition number under the picture.
🌟
The size is A3 (11.7″ x 16.5″), so they can fit into a ready made frame.
🌟
I will be including a free art bookmark with every purchase! 🔖
🌟
I could charge a lot more for prints this size, but for now I'd prefer to get my work out into the world to whoever connects with them. So the price is just €20 + €5 worldwide delivery.
🌟
If you prefer to pay by bank transfer just private message me. 😊

Here's today's STOP PAINTING "Louise Bourgeois". This painting went through a lot of changes, at one stage I really didn't think I was going to be able to turn it into something even presentable today, but it was nice to feel it turn around. Then just near the end another eye snuck into the sky. Individual eyes and eyes of protection have been slowly creeping their way into my work lately and I'll definitely be working with them a lot more. 👁️

STOP PAINTING has been called on "Georgia O'Keeffe. Thank God for that! 😂 I really didn't want to paint over this one! I love the colours and the looseness of the shapes and the way the bull is looking at her and the story unfolding between them. I really want to bring this colour scheme into other paintings. 🎨
🛑
So 8 STOP PAINTING pieces left. ☺️

So this Wednesday will be day 52 of the STOP PAINTING Project. Out of the 30 paintings I started with there are just 9 paintings left to pick from. 🎨
.
There is such great support behind supporting small businesses in Ireland right now especially for Christmas presents this year (it's November I can mention Christmas now right? 😉). So I wanted to share the paintings that are left available in the project which are €100 plus €5 worldwide delivery. They are all acrylic and mixed media on wood, 8 x 8 x 1.1 inches with gold enamel painted sides and ready to hang. They also come with a certificate of being part of the project
.
I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported my work as an artist so far. Every sale makes a huge difference, not just financially but also emotionally. To know people are enjoying my work is such a boost.

For the day that's in it here's a Halloween tale from Cavan and my painting that was inspired from it.
👹
It was believed by some that on Halloween night if you looked in a mirror you would see your future husband in the glass, looking over your shoulder. I remember hearing this regularly in primary school. What had to be done before or during looking in the mirror be it from lighting candles to saying a certain word seems to vary depending on who you asked. Also some believed if you say a certain word three times the devil would appear so apart from being afraid to look in the mirror on Halloween night I never gave it a go. But there was a brave lady from Kill in Kilnaleck who thought she would give it a try. It must have been no secret in the area that she was going to do this as when she looked in the mirror to see how handsome her future husband would be, what stared her back was not a man at all but the face of a pig. Petrified and traumatised, little did she know that boys from the area were perfectly positioned outside the window holding up the animal’s decapitated head.
