An Artist's Journal:Paintings by Felicia Marshall

8"x10" acrylic on hardboard Actually this is Saint Patricks Cathedral. I was working with an image I photographed over ten years ago. I loved the grandness of the architecture . It's like a fiesta for the eyes. What the structure lacks in color it makes up for in architecture elements. I really worked hard to make this feel not so much like a paint by number but the more I painted the more I saw to paint until finally I stopped myself before it became too static. SOLD

5"x7" acrylic on hardboard I get lost in the grandness of cathedrals. I was amazed by the detailed work on the front of this cathedral in Europe. I grew up southern baptist so a church with such elaborate art decorating the exterior or for that matter the interior was just something you didn't see. I sometimes shy away from white objects. I find that you have to think and plan out the painting a little bit more than when your pallet is not as limited. It is however a great accomplishment when I am able to pull it off. SOLD
