Here’s another sewing themed painting, “Dress Form” – it’s a 12 x 12 acrylic painting on canvas. I’ll be adding it to my Etsy store shortly.
I searched for dress form images and found one that I used as a reference for this painting. I discovered that it was considered a plus sized dress form. I’d say this is just human sized. Plain and simple.
I am a sucker for square cards and music puns! Yes, square cards require extra postage to mail, but they are fun to give and receive.
No, I’m not a fan of Huey Lewis and the News, but darn, that’s one catchy line in a song! It was running in my head while I assembled these cards. So, it made sense for me to use that song to launch my square cards. That song came out right about when I moved to San Francisco. It was a time of great hope – when you could live in the city while working at a nonprofit! Those were some fun times. These are fun cards!

I just opened my Etsy Shop! Here’s a link to my shop On The Wall – by Amy
Let me know what you think of my store. I will upload more finished paintings for sale there in the near future.
Here’s one of my “Pollinate Love” mini canvas mixed media painting.
I’ve been busy in my studio working on these acrylic paintings and I’m just loving the sewing theme. These are all 12×12 canvases. Soon, they will be available for purchase. I enjoy working on this size and shape of canvas; it gives the item an up-close and intimate feel. It also helps me to limit my color choices, so that I can play around with the combinations that I just love.
I am planning on expanding my button theme to include various sewing notions. I’m going to explore the many wonders of thimbles, pin cushions, measuring tape and spools of thread in all sorts of colors. Yay, now I have another reason to get over to Britex for inspiration and possible source material.
This painting is 12×12 acrylic. Be on the lookout for my Etsy shop.
I’ll be at the studio this Thursday – June 9th for Artist Work Night. I’m not sure what I will work on next. Of late, I have been drawn to musical themes – instruments and lyrics. I’m sure that I will keep going in this direction.
This is my travel pencil/pen box. It totally sums me up – playfulness is something I highly value. My daughter Emma added her touch to this box when she borrowed it for her own use (hello, orange pencil!). I love that it’s in there – a connection to her earlier days. There’s also a clarinet reed holder in there (not sure why). I still absolutely adore the Powerpuff Girls (Buttercup is my girl). It was fun to get reacquainted with this box when I used it at the Figure Drawing Marathon. Hope to bring more playfulness to my work!
This is an oil pastel painting that I did in 2009 “Clouds in my Coffee” – one of my lyric themes.
Today, I participated in a figure drawing marathon, held in Livermore. I haven’t done this for about 15 years, so I know that my proportions are off. These are a few of my 10 or 20 minute pose drawings. I had fun doing this and hope to get more opportunities to do more life drawing.
I entered this painting in the Alameda County Fair art competition. I really like having my art work out in the world! It will be a good excuse to actually attend the fair this year. Which deep fried delight will I consume?
Join Amy Greenberg in person for a Meet and Greet on Friday April 29th at Panama Bay Coffee at 2115 1st Street in Downtown Livermore. She will be there 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm.
Amy enjoys finding appealing color combinations using bright acrylic paints. She also loves the simple design of a button and thought it would be the perfect subject to satisfy her pop art sensibilities. This collection of button paintings was created in 2016.Her Buttons paintings are on display there through May 23rd.
