Another Large Commission to the Bahamas

October 30, 2017December 5, 2019Posted in Abstract Art, Abstract Painting, acrylic, art, maoriart, New Zealand art/painting, newzealandartist, NZ art, nzart, paintingTagged acrylic, art, artist, commission, contemporaryart, corporate, corporateart, ink, large, maoriart, maoriinspired, painting, reinacottier6 Comments

This 4 piece painting , 2m x 2m is off to the Bahamas once done.

Each panel is 1m square.

My buyers live on a canal , and wanted all the colours of the water and sky. Their inspiration was my ‘Legend’ series.

I’m using acrylics and inks, and am about 3/4 way through at this point.

PERU & BOLIVIA- art inspiration

I have just returned from 2 weeks in Peru, and 2 days in Bolivia. An epic adventure, non stop experiences, a visual feast, awesome people, not really adequate words available to describe the experience, or feeling one has whilst there. Vibrancy, depth, history, passion, sacred, ancient, connected, energy… it was a once in a lifetime journey, I will never forget. Cant wait to start painting, and see what evolves.

Feeling really attached to this lil guy, he carries the very special energy of the Bali Elephant Sanctuary I went to on my recent art retreat Bali trip. All the elephants were rescued from Sumatra where the jungles are being desecrated for palm oil. 😦 I used powers, inks predominantly, with some acrylic.

©Reina Cottier Art – in progress : Will be available to purchase 🙂

I have had a huge amount of butterflies fly into, around and over me lately. I always have at least 2 butterflies in progress. This mixed media piece is about 3/4 done. I love the pop of orange 🙂

Below are the finished pieces, owner is very happy 🙂

This Butterfly was something light and fun I did as a ‘fill in’ with all my Xmas commissions. I find I need a break from the commissions all the time, so I stay fresh and inspired.

This is a cropped piece of a Tui bird tail (Native bird of New Zealand), I have painted 3 of these birds now and I always start with the tail and complete that first, then I build the rest of the painting around it. I will post the whole three complete soon.

Been wanting to paint something with an angelic feel for quite sometime, but wasnt sure how to proceed.
A lovely client asked me to paint her some angel wings, and after I had done those, I suddenly felt inspired to paint the three paintings Im posting here. There is something very serene about the process in painting these, I was inclined to turn the music donw (I normally have it blasting) and didnt cope well with the phone going or anything distracting me for that matter. 🙂

There will be more in this series, but time to take a break from this theme and go to something else,.. I’ll definitely be back to this tho… 🙂

Inspirational Wordart!

WORDART

I created this wordart using my images/paintings, I used words that are in tune with the animal/creature I have paired them with, or the feel of the image/painting I have used. The result was better than I imagined, and the resulting sales of prints and cards means Ive done something pretty spot on I think 🙂

So, we have 3 butterflies, an elephant, an angel wing, an owl, a peacock, a dolphin & a whale.
I will most likely be adding more to the collection as time goes on.

ALL WORDART AVAILABLE IN PRINTS ON CANVAS, PHOTOCARD & GREETING CARDS.

Finally finished Tribal moon Goddess. Phew.
That is the first face I have painted and, whilst I got the shape ok, the shading was a different story altogther.
Very happy with how she turned out, I didnt want her to look real, but I did want her to have a realness about her essence.

This one also finished. One of my faves actually.
Not sure why, I think its the magical dreamy quality about it, it just feels good for me to look at 🙂

a lovely NY collectors 2 paintings he bought from me, a dolphin & a whale.
I think they look great together.

I have so much more to load up, I will be back!

Tribal Moon finished, & Work in Progress…

Was really pleased with this slightly newish direction I have taken lately,

Ive taken my detailing to a whole new level, and really loving the results,

feeling like im in a real transition period 🙂 so that then lead to this work in progress……

In Progress

and then this as well

Not sure how much colour im going to put into these 2 above, not much i feel.

Currently working on 8 paintings, have completely 2 whales, have a dolphin going, a lotus, and another frangipani painting.
Of course, I love it, and can only operate this way, if I only have one or two paintings on the go, I feel listless and bored & it never feels enough.

ok, must go, talk soon people.

Artwork in Progress

Moon Goddess’s #1 & #2 almost done,

#1 needs a lot of work on the face & some tribal decoration to be put on her neck,

I still have to do some shading on #2 face and finish her hair at the front and a few other minor tweaks,

Dolphin #3 in progress, always love my dolphins, this one only really just started,

WIll finish Tribal Moon within a week I would expect, and Moon Goddess’s wont be far behind. 🙂

Have a great weekend everyone! 🙂
