Fluid Art by Laura Burger

Well since my Mother passed away it has been one issue after another and then the holidays. This was a project I was determined to get done as I just knew with the pain I was in that I had ruined my shoulder again and would need surgery, this was beginning of October. Happy to say that I am better without surgery. I finally had the time to frame the 24×36 painting and get the varnish on it. You can find the video – which is not very good but the best I could do at the time here. Hopefully the new set up I will have will work out better for the larger pieces I so love doing. Here is a photo of it on the wall of the bedroom.

I also had time to work on another bigger painting but the video became corrupt. I wanted to share this with you. I love how this one turned out it looks like it is looking deep into a geode. This one is for sale so if anyone is interested in it – please contact me at yavappl@gmail.com.

Hope you all have a happy holiday season even with this dreaded virus going around. We will probably be watching old movies and acting like a bore old couple that day.

It has been a very crazy year which almost all know about. But between my husband stopping our business for the obvious reasons and caring for my Mom, that was 87 years old. She lived in a little house we built next door to our home so when and if she needed help we would be close by. Well, the day came in late May that we knew there was some kind of issue going on with her and on June 15th we were told that not only did she have bladder cancer she also had cancer all over her left side of her body. She had decided on her own that she was not treating it and was ready to go to heaven when the Lord called out her number. But as time went on more care was needed and eventually Hospice Care. It was pretty much a full-time job for myself and my husband taking care of her and things around the houses.

If you follow me on Facebook or subscribed to my YouTube Channel then you have seen a few videos I posted of some paintings, done mostly to just relax and get my head together with everything that we were going through. So if you don’t follow me you might check out both of the links.

I am still not doing as much art as I would like but I still do graphic design off and it is how I making a full time living from home. But I do have plenty of art and pieces to start adding to my shop here. I gave up my Amazon Handmade and Etsy store as I feel that adding pieces to the store here will allow me the option of giving the best pricing I can give without a middleman taking their percentage.

The holidays are coming up and there will be people that are looking for that special one of a kind gift to give. So I hope to be adding pieces at least once a week if not more often and have an array of different art pieces available.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at yavappl@gmail.com and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Besides, if you are local to the Prescott/Yavapai Country area I will be offering free pick and possible delivery.

Hope you all stay safe and enjoy your weekend.

This last Tuesday I did a chat with Tish at The Artist Haven and had a really good time doing this with her. Doing that time I did two acrylic pours on glass trivets that I actually wasn’t sure on the gold one if I liked but after drying I was really happy with them and will be adding resin to them once they are ready for resin.

You can find her videos here.

And here are photos of the finished paintings before the resin will be applied.

So I am doing some painting here and there along with taking some wonderful classes with Sandra Lett. And learning more about painting with a brush and have had some wonderful outcomes. The last one I did was a colorful eye that I will be doing one more time as I sold the first one.

Enjoy your week and if I ever get caught up I will be adding more to the shop here.
