I'm a bit obsessed by gold! I love to finish most

I'm a bit obsessed by gold! I love to finish most of my paintings surrounded by what I like to think of as a little gold halo of protection. 💫
I really like how gold works so well with all kinds of colour combinations and that if a piece like this is put in a floater frame there will still be a little glimpse of gold peeking through at the sides. ⭐
Obviously if you don't like gold but want one of my paintings the sides can be changed to your taste so let me know! 😊

This is one of my little paintings "Serene Breath", 6 x 8", acrylic and intense on wood. If you'd like to acquire this piece private message me or shop on my website through the link in my bio or go to https://www.michellehartonart.com

Inspired by the beautiful colour combinations of plants in my garden, I've created my newest painting "Under A Pink Sky".

As the delphinium petals have started to fall, I have to stop every time I walk past them as their tie dyed patterns have only revealed themselves since they've left the flower and are like miniature works of art.

Can you spot the bee? 🐝 I had to take about 10 shots to catch him! 😂

This piece is acrylic on a cradled wooden panel with gold enamel painted sides, 8 x 8", €130 including free delivery.

I've just realised that I hadn't posted the finish

I've just realised that I hadn't posted the finished version of this painting. It's called "The Dance Of The River". It's from my ongoing series "The Land Of Gemini". My intention with this collection of mystical abstracted landscapes is that they are a place of meditation for people to go to when they need to relax and recharge their spirit. 💮

It's been created with mixed media on deep canvas. The sides of the painting are finished in gold enamel, a little energetic halo of protection. 💫

70 x 70 x 4cm / 27.5 x 27.5 x 1.5″

My newest finished piece, "The Moon & The Water", 8 x 8" acrylic on wood.
UPDATE - Sold

"You are the moon, dear love, and I the sea:
The tide of hope swells high within my breast,
And hides the rough dark rocks of life’s unrest
When your fond eyes smile near in perigee.
But when that loving face is turned from me,
Low falls the tide, and the grim rocks appear,
And earth’s dim coast-line seems a thing to fear.
You are the moon, dear one, and I the sea."

By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Absolutely delighted to announce I have been awarded the Agility Award by The Arts Council! 😊🏆 @artscouncilireland

I've spent many years applying to The Arts Council for different awards and this is the first one I've received from them, so the recognition of my work by them and their support and encouragement to continue to develop it really means a lot to me. 🙏

This painting "There Is More To Understand" is a new dreamy sea shore piece, 12 x 12 inches, acrylic on wooden cradled panel. I'm loving the looseness of the brush strokes. 🖌️

Today I've been working on this little painting. I think I'm going to call it "Midnight Train". Years ago I went interrailing around Europe with a group of friends. This painting reminds me of when we would take overnight trains to the next country we were destined for, leaving from historical train stations, catching glimpses of what lay in the darkness as the train flew through the night. I was an amazing adventure and one I will never forget. 🚇

This painting is 8 x 8", the same as the "Mystery Art Project" pieces, they seemed to be a popular size with people and I like working that size and the challenge of creating a world inside an intimate space. Also if you're a bit of an art buying addict like me and are running out of wall space smaller pieces are great so you can continue to feed the addiction 😂.

My newest collection is called "The Land Of Gemini

My newest collection is called "The Land Of Gemini" It's an ongoing series of mystical landscapes. I picked the name because some of the paintings are two paintings in one and they can be hung upside down to reveal another scene and Gemini is the zodiac sign of duality and it's also my sign♊. It is said for Gemini, their two sides are necessary to give them a sense of adventure in a unidimensional world. For me personally I feel like it's the best work I've done so far and I'm looking forward to exploring more of these dimensional lands. 🎨

I've uploaded all my available work to my website so you can head on over there and take a closer look at these paintings and get an idea of what they look like when hung. There's a link in my bio to take you there or go to https://www.michellehartonart.com. If you are interested in adding any of them to your collection you can shop securely online or message me.

I've been continuing with this colour palette and

I've been continuing with this colour palette and I think I will for a while to see what new lands and colour combinations I can come up with. I think purples, blues and pinks are so interesting when they are together. To me it seems like they hum off eachother in mysterious ways.

I may also have inadvertently robbed one of Claude Monet's setting suns in this one, that I only noticed afterwards. Well if it was good enough for Monet....😂

This new painting is "When The Movement Moves You", mixed media on wood panel, 12 X 12". It's available like the rest of my work through my website or DM me.

I started this new large landscape today. I'm try

I started this new large landscape today. I'm trying to work in more subtle colours at the moment as a bit of a challenge and a change up for myself, because I can be a bit of a mad one for using all the colours I can put on a palette 😂🎨🔴🟠🟡🔵🔵🟣🟤⚫ Could turn into a wild neon coloured painting but my intention to begin was good 😂. If you check out my stories you'll see my other attempt at a subtle painting.l but I think it actually worked. 😊.

I was delighted to take part in “Incognito 2021” in aid of The Jack and Jill Foundation. This was my second year to participate and I donated 3 pieces to this much anticipated yearly charity sale.

What’s unique and exciting about Incognito, is that the identity of the artists behind the postcard-size artworks is kept top secret until the sale closes. Over 1,200 artists and personalities from all over Ireland and around the world took part this year including Bob Geldof, Tommy Tiernan, Adrian + Shane, Robert Ballagh, Ange Bell and Peter Curling to name a few. All 3,133 postcards sold out in record time. All money raised by Incognito is used to fund home nursing hours for children who deserve the best possible care at home all over Ireland.

I had a lovely email from one of the buyers of my pieces and I was honoured to know I was her first choice! If you bought my other postcards please let me know, I would love to hear where they ended up.

Here are my Incognito 2021 paintings:
"Dream Valley"
"Midnight Movement"
"Portals"

Did you spot mine? 😊

I had a bit of an accident with one of my favourit

I had a bit of an accident with one of my favourite two sided paintings! 🤦🏻‍♀️ One of my other paintings fell down on it and sliced through it. There may have been some colourful expletives used when it happened.🤬 😂.
First I thought about patching it up with another piece of canvas but then I thought about another idea I've wanted to try for a while - embroidering parts of my paintings. I used to love doing embroidery when I was a teenager and I love embroidered artwork, especially that of my artist friend @jackieoneillartstudio (check out her beautiful work ❤️.)
I tried to "paint" with the threads the same way I would make my brush marks. I like the extra texture element it brings to the painting. What do you think? ❓😊
