"Cartwheel", 2025, 16" x 20" Available here - www.claragriffith.com/product/122 The original image came from a magazine ad for a clothing brand, but the bright print and textures were just begging to be triangularized! #fineart #acrylicpainting #triangles #contemporaryartist

"Pink Velvet", my most recent painting. I wanted to see what would happen if I combined images that were very similar. Reference photos by @cdgriffithphotography.com, model is @hannah-danielle.bsky.social #acrylicpainting #triangles #contemporaryartist #fineart #kaleidoscopic

Two images of the same woman in slightly different poses are interwoven in this painting. She is wearing a stretchy pink velvet dress.

"Fairy Wings", 2023, 36" x 48" I made the fairy wings myself for a photoshoot, and the resulting pictures turned out so amazing, I had to use one in a painting! Available here - www.claragriffith.com/product/106 #fineart #acrylicpainting #triangles #contemporaryartist

This is a colorful abstract painting that combines three images - a water garden with lily pads and goldfish; a profusion of different sorts of pink and white flowers; and a third of a woman in a floaty blue dress and large fairy wings.

"The Card Games", 2022, 16" x 20" The same theme from three artists - Cezanne, Caillebotte, and Caravaggio. Originally I had wanted to throw in Dogs at Cards too, but it didn't quite fit. Available here - www.claragriffith.com/product/92 #acrylicpainting #triangles #contemporaryartist #fineart

This abstract painting shows a kaleidoscopic interweaving of three paintings by other artists. "The Card Sharps" by Caravaggio shows a card game at a red table with a man signaling to his confederate who is pulling cards from behind his back; "The Bezique Game" shows distinguished gentlemen in suits smoking, drinking, and playing cards at a green velvet table; and "The Card Players" (one of several paintings by that name that the artist created) shows more ordinary folks playing cards at a white table with a couple of onlookers. Woven together, the scene shows a very lively gathering with many people impossibly gathered around a small table. There are many hands holding cards in various poses, and many faces from different angles pondering the game. The background is predominantly blue with some olive green.

"Folded Marble", 16" x 20", 2023 Two beautiful fountains in Rome inspired this painting after a trip to Italy. Available here - www.claragriffith.com/product/102 #acrylicpainting #triangles #contemporaryartist #fineart

Marble sculptures from the Trevi fountain and Fiumi fountain in Rome collide in this abstract painting. You can see hints of faces, hands, and the carefully carved folds of fabric. Soft blue and beige are the predominant colors.

Spring is in the air! It's wonderful when my little lemon tree blooms, it perpetually buzzes with happy bees and beautiful butterflies, and it fills the yard with a divine fragrance. Here's a watercolor I made of it two years ago. #watercolor #fineart #spring #gardening

"Quiet Strength", 2023, 18" x 24" This piece was inspired by the Strength tarot card, which is less about hitting-the-gym sort of strength, but rather an inner strength, a quiet strength that can endure the "unprecedented times" stuff. #acrylicpainting #triangles #contemporaryartist #fineart

There are three images combined in this painting. The first is of a illustrated tarot card depicting a woman in a blue dress holding open the mouth of a lion. The second is of a classical style portrait by renaissance painter Bronzino, depicting an unknown woman in a red dress, seated with a small dog and rosary beads on her lap. The third is an old map of Florence,

My latest painting! I love the intense pinks and delicious blues of the fluorescent paint. The shiney crinkly wrappers were also very fun to work on. Candy!, 2025, acrylic on canvas #contemporaryartist #kaleidoscopic #triangles #acrylicpainting

Brightly colored gummy bears, lollipops, hard candy, peppermint patty and smarties are woven together in a kaleidoscopic manner.

It's lovely how random things like a dancer, a cracked motor block, and a contemplative face can come together so harmoniously. "Motorhead", 2021 16" x 21" #acrylicpainting #contemporaryartist #triangles #kaleidoscopic

A striking blue eye draws you into a painting of kaleidoscopic triangles alternating between shades of gray and warm skin tones.

"Evergreen", 8" x 10", is one of my favorites. She always makes me feel a little more calm. This painting is on display at the moment, but still available. #acrylicpainting #triangles #Kaleidoscopic #contemporaryart

Here's a painting from last year - "Candy Wrapper" - titled that because when I sewed the cellophane dress that Michaela is wearing, it sounded like unwrapping candy at 1000x volume. Available - www.claragriffith.com/product/116 #acrylicpainting #triangles #kaleidoscopic #contemporaryart

I'm excited to try fluorescent paint! My next painting will be of candy, and those gummy bears will need to glow...

Hello bluesky! This is my most recent painting, "Blue Satin", acrylic on canvas, 30" x 24". I can't decide, is she falling apart or coming together? #painting #traditionalart #contemporaryart #triangles
