available for auction on Daily Paintworks.com
starting bid:  85.


I've begun to do some small pieces and I love doing
them, but must confess, it is a learning process, since
I'm so used to painting pretty large works.
But...wouldn't you love to be under that umbrella?

The Vision


mallisonartist.com

24 X 36 oil and glazes
M. Allison
available for auction on Daily Paintworks.com
starting bid: 600.

A 'newish' concept letting the background do a lot of the work.
It's done with lots of layers drawing your eye down
to the focal point of the painting. My featurless face
with a mood to unravel and a story to tell.

A Provacative, Female Figurative Contemporary Painting

Don't Look Back
12 X 16   oil on canvas

I feel this painting is a little mysterious in feeling - something you
(the viewer) can create and give a story to and make up your
own interpretation.  Maybe someone's after her 'orange slippers'!

Imagine collecting a painting exemplifing a photo of your favorite

A unique memory.  After all, everyone has a photo, but not everyone has
a work of art like this.  One for everyone in the group.  
Fabulous idea!  Go for it!

At the Beach, a Splashy, Female Figurative Painting

Feeling the Breeze
12 X 16  oil on canvas

I've been doing several small paintings and although I'm more comfortable
painting large paintings, these have come in handy for gifts and clients with
limited space.  My final detail that I use quite a lot is graphite 'scribble'  It's a 
fun ending!

I Must Be Dreaming I


I Must Be Dreaming II



A pair of crazies!  Actually derivatives from my 'From Within' series 
which I think will go on forever!  It's merely a certain technique that 
I seem to love doing.  These little puppies can stay together or
they can be separated.  Splashy and fun!

An Abstract, Realistic Contemporary Painting

Real and Unreal
36 X 36    oil on canvas

contact me for purchase
through my email:  mallisonartist.com 
or through paypal

This painting has an abstract feel with a realistic painting of a ribbon.  Kind of a dichotomy and that's the reason for the name 'Real and Unreal'  I love to use graphite lines in my work - it's just a little finishing touch.  This painting is 600.
