Celtic Art from Teresa Turner

I finished the Celtic cross I've been working on! Here is a pic of the finished piece:

It's about 3" x 5", created in hydrostone and painted with professional artists' acrylics. Yesterday I added it to my etsy store and it sold within 15 minutes! I have a series of Celtic tree of life drawings, a couple of which I have in my etsy store, and I have more on my web site. Here is one:


TREE OF LIFE X
Original India ink on handmade mulberry paper

I also made some Celtic-inspired fridge magnets this week:

These are hydrostone too, and are like mini sculptures for a fridge or filing cabinet. I added these to my etsy store, and plan to add them to my web site as well, when I have time.

I have some ideas for other Celtic pieces I hope to create this summer. If you like Celtic art, please stop in again!

Newest oil painting and sculpture from Teresa Turner

Here is my latest abstract painting, entitled INFINITY:


Original oils
24" x 36"

Although I primarily work in realism, I do enjoy creating abstracts as well. They provide the artist with a creative outlet which is unlimited in scope or vision. I find them very freeing in that regard.

I also experimented this week with a different color finish for one of my dogwood wall plaques. I make these from hydrostone, which is the hardest of the gypsum cements. Previously I had always painted these dogwood blossom pieces with a faux stone finish, but decided to try one with a faux bronze finish instead.

NEW Chai Lip Gloss with wand applicator

Now that summer temps are approaching rapidly, I'm switching over to self-contained lip-glosses. I'm having a go with these new wand applicators and I love my unsweetened Chai Tea Spice Blend lip gloss. This is the closest thing I tested which resembled my chai tea.

BELTANE MOON

Spirit Dolls

I love the month of May and for me this is the time when Mother Nature shows herself in her most glorious way, abundant with flowers and new growth. May Eve is also a time to remember the old festivals of Beltane, (Full Moon rituals) in which fertility for the land was celebrated with the sacred fire in the hilltops and fields. A time of sensuality and freedom.

Please visit my eBay store

Where I will be listing several Beltane Moon Dolls.

Happy Spring Time to you. Griselda
