Angela Sullivan Art

Big blue Jug by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan Painted for a challenge at  www.paintanddrawtogether.blogspot.com I could have painted this and stuck to the original photo but you know that the thing that makes this all special is my liberty to change it as I want. 7x5 oil on canvas panel

Saving For A Rainy Day by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan If you have wondered why I have not posted for a few days it is because I have been locked in at the hospital for three days. When the snow storm began I got a call from the hospital at 11am that they were sending the National Guard to pick me up for my shift which would began at 7pm. I had no option but to go as I am a critical care nurse. We camped out on mattresses on the floor with all of the ICU staff sleeping in the same conference room. They fed us and kept us warm and even arranged for showers and personal needs of course. We could not leave the hospital until today when the weather warmed up enough for us to leave. Wow!!! That was not fun. There is no place like home. 5x7 oil on canvas panel.

Forced by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan Soft and different, This is another painting I did where I focused on the main focus.  A clear glass vase with a forced hyacinth. This is quite large at 24x20 gallery wrapped canvas.  For sale contact me for info.

Purple Bliss by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan This is another softy as I call it that I painted after Carol Carmichael's workshop. I certainly am not used to this kind of painting but I have to say I kinda like it.  This Hydrangea I bought at Publix a couple of weeks ago and it is in full bloom now.  I am no good with flowers so it will probably die soon. I am keeping my fingers crossed.  I welcome any suggestions for keeping it alive.  This painting is a 24x8 inch on gallery wrapped canvas. Still life, Hydrangea painting.

On A Blue Plate by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan Another painting done at the recent workshop I attended with Carol Carmichael's.  8x10 oil on canvas panel. Still life. Purple onion painting.

Hay Please by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan Another painting that I painted at Carol Carmichael's workshop. Softer and a sweet looking little cow. Would love to know what you think of this different style. Like it or like my old style better. I have to admit that I have always liked bold and bright but I kinda like these. Cow painting, animals.

Getting My Feet Wet by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan I attended a workshop with Carol Carmichael in Birmingham, Al. over the weekend. It was wonderful to say the least. I certainly painted differently than my usual. Mostly explored more of a pastel look instead of the bold paints I most often use. Over the next few days I will be posting some of the ones I did at this workshop and afterward while still using the techniques I learned there. Thanks Carol for such a lovely time. Figurative painting oil on 10x8 canvas.

I Will Follow You by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan I set these pears and really liked the cast shadows. I am pleased with how this one turned out and yes I did plan for that purplish background.

Hyacinth by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan I am afraid I am coming some kinda painting freak. I went to Publix today and all I bought was these painting props. My  last apples kinda went bad because I just kept saying to myself "just one more day". What am I becoming? I think I need to go to painters anonymous. 10x8 still life on canvas panel SOLD

There's A New Kid In Town by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan I bought this little yellow pitcher on a recent trip to Maine.  8x10 oil still life on canvas panel.

On Top Of The World by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan I have been painting quite a lot despite working a full time job. But a full time job I realize just does not give me the satisifaction that painting does. I know I have painted a lot of apples and pears not to mention the green vase and that little cup. My 6 year old grandson set this up for me. I did have to move one of the pears due to the small canvas size. I am learning that you have to paint the fruit while it last which is not long enough. The tulips bit the dust pretty quickly but I did get quite a few paintings from them though.  7x5 oil still life on canvas panel.

Doodle Bug by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan I just simply wanted to paint a VW and just kinda went with it.  10x8 oil on canvas panels. auto mobile,car,transportation.

Complementary Colors by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan I bought these two peppers the other day when I was looking for painting props. I almost waited to long to paint them but alas today was the day. 10x8 still life oil on canvas panel.

Clear Vase by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan I am still painting those Apples I bought the other day. However I don't think the tulips or the  apples will  be around for much longer.  10x8 oil on canvas panel.still life.

 Much Red by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan I created quite the stack of fruit for a recent shopping trip. I arranged them in front of the candle and added the cherry as a last ditch effort. 10x8 oil on canvas panel.

 Gossips by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan I named this because when I did this set up I thought of gossips at the one tulip leaned down near the other. (actually drooped). oil on 8x10 canvas panel.still life

Out of Season by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan Among the paint props that my daughter gave me for Christmas was this little snowman. I was gonna wait until next Christmas to paint it but sitting there on the shelf I just couldn't resist along with the fact that every time my daughter came over she said Hey mom, when are you gonna paint the snowman. Well here it is. With the snow storms occurring recently this really isn't out of season.  8x10 still life oil on canvas panel. SOLD

Arranged Marriage by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan First of all I want to say thank you for viewing my art. Your support is so important to me. This is going to be such a good year. I am looking forward to good things.  Arranged Marriage I have to say is one of those paintings that I really love. I named it because of the meticulous time I took to arrange it. It just seemed right. Hope you love it. As I look at this I realize that my style is changing as time goes by little by little day by day. I hope you like this change...I think I do. 10x8 oil still life on canvas panel. 

Table Tango by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan I had been wanted something special to paint so I went shopping yesterday and bought the pears,  the tulips, some apples and peppers. I hope that I will be able to paint all of them while they last. The tulips are already looking a little wilted but I hope they at least last one more day. The chicken .....again. 10x8 oil on canvas panel, still life.

Peek A Boo by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan Why the name Peek A Boo? Well because that crazy chicken just showed up again.  I found these pears at Walmart today and they looked so nice with the stems intact.  Still life painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan.

Cherry Down by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan I confess that I always have trouble with cups. I will not quit painting them  but I can't promise anything about the outcome. I do like how the cherry turned out though. 7x5 oil on canvas panel. Still life.

Spiced Goodness by Angela Sullivan These teabags are in the most beautiful wrappers. They are colorful and bright and I bought them just  because of that. The raspberry ones are very good some of the others not so good.  5x7 oil on canvas panel. Still life.

Miss Chick by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan Again I felt compelled to paint the chick I got for Christmas. It just kinda screams paint me.  I looked around my studio and saw a beautiful red apple. One my daughter brought me a couple of weeks ago.I got the knife and cut it up wanting to capture the fleshy part and seeds but to my surprise it was all brown inside so I did what any artist would do I changed it. Thanks for following or just simply taking time to look at my blog.  5x7 oil on canvas panel. still life

China Blue by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan 7x5 still life painting oil on canvas panel I received this little chicken and the vase for a Christmas gift. In fact I received several things to use as still life items. I was ever so happy. Of course you will see them again.
