"I will love you now and later"

"I will love you now and Later" 12" x 12" x 1 1/2 " Gallery wrapped sides painted black. Available on ebay (search ayleah) with a starting bid of $1 -the auction ends shortly so you will have your art in time for Valentine"s day.

Original oil painting on high quality canvas. I have been painting quite a bit. My resolution for the year is to have one paining on ebay at all times for the next 12 months. The best part is that these paintings are all starting with a $1bid! The more you paint the more you learn and improve-always learning.

I love painting these goofy, colorful paintings! It has given me a chance to use intense colors and to paint subjects on that really speak to me (and to learn new techniques - always learning). I'm not a fast painter, most of my paintings take HOURS and hours and days to complete - no thin paint on cardboard canvas here!

I hope you will stick with me for the year!

So much has happened! We have moved back home with so much gratitude. I will be posting paintings soon.

Hey there,
I spent the long weekend at an art "vendor event". It was a fabulous learning experience! I didn't sell a thing - there was a blizzard, the music was a bit loud, I had a migraine, and only about 20 people came through the door. Still, I made an amazing contact with a helpful, kind, artist representative. She was very helpful and she felt that my work is going in a great direction. Looks like I may soon have representation and help with those darn vendor events. I'd rather be home painting. I also injured my foot. And my cat ate my homework. K. I haven't put a painting on in about 3 days. It won't be long before my next painting.

Poprocks - and soda...will your tummy really explode?

Original oil on canvas, signed by Ayleah.
12" x 12" x 2" deep gallery wrap, sides black.
I am a portrait painter but I have to have other outlets for my artistic energy. I love to paint bright, silly, fun candy! This is my series of "Trifle" paintings. The label for all my candy posts is "ceci n'est pas une bonbon". This is a nod to one of my favorite painters, Rene Magrite. Indeed, this is not a candy, you cannot eat it, it is a painting of a candy.
I started painting these candy paintings after learning about the addictive ingredients in newer candy.

Created by chemist William Mitchel who patented it in 1956. General foods sold it to the public in 1975. It was said that if you drink soda with pop rocks, your tummy will explode. The TV show "Myth Busters" and General foods have proven that this is not true.

Ingredients: Sugar, lactose, corn syrup, flavoring, and it is processed with carbon dioxide.

What's your candy story?
