Fun day silkscreening T-shirts at the Artist's Loft

Today was a fun day printmaking at " the artist's loft.
I have been working on silk screen designs for t-shirts for the last month. With help (mustache Artist's design) from my friend Sharon Lillemoen.... and finally came down to a couple that I really enjoy... and thought you would too.
They will be available for purchase November 28th downtown Modesto during the "Mod Shop" event from 5 to 9 p.m. I will be located at the Deva Cafe at 912 J Street downtown Modesto. I look forward to seeing you the Saturday after Thanksgiving. This event is super fun! If you would like to see more of my work please follow on instagram: #nicoleslaterart, thank you.

Becoming my Paint Palette!

Becoming my Palette!
Today....in the midst of painting, drinking coffee, answering phone and posting social media.....I looked down and just laughed out loud!
All I could think of was; "Do I have more paint on me than my palette?!
I love the creative process; you get so focussed and absorbed in what you are doing right then and there....that everything outside your peripheral view;
"goes to pause mode."
Love art!!!!

"Fruit and Floral"

"Floral and Fruit"
4o x 30" x 2"#painting on gallery board
#Palette knife painting
#Natures beauties. The #inspiration was the #organic chaos in the #movement of the stems, petals and #color.......while underneath are quiet simplified round forms planted on the ground.
While at times I can and want to be that wild chaos....it is sometimes nice to just be a simple #form taking a little pause on life;)

Valley Vines-painting

"Valley Vines" #palette knife #painting.  On gallery board 30 x40" original #acrylic.
#Living in the Valley....
As an #artist you can't help recognize the organized #beauty of #grape #vines. They are perfectly aligned row after row!
Their #canvas is the soothing & undulating #hills.....the polar opposite! They are #organic..one rolls into the next.
Painting from this #inspiration is a way to say....I see how beautiful my surroundings are and I am #thankful.

Sunday In my Mind-Painting

"Sunday in my mind" #Landscape #abstract/#expressionistic painting on board 30 x 40 acrylic palette knife
#today was #enlightening.....#painting for myself...no deadlines, no parameters, no #critique....Just me and my #brush and the one who #speaks to my #art #mind and #soul. It was an absolute blast and I am thankful for days like these:)
