Bouxbart™

Bouxbart™
by
Tuttidee
Bouxbart™ (boob-art, boo-bart) is my Trademark for my painting style that is literally "impressionistic" painting inspired by beautiful things in nature and me missing my husband who was working abroad. What started as a tease ended up as a passion. After a year of painting for my husband, my mother had a mastectomy and then I a partial mastectomy. I then started painting more, using them for good while I have them.
The layering of colors in the objects are truly magnificent and the different techniques intriguing. Let your mind wonder at how "titillating" these paintings are.
So my paintings are literally close to my heart. Each painting is an original with the "paint brush" work done in non-toxic Acrylic.
Who is Tuttidee? That's me. That's what my dad called me so to honor him as well as my mother through my paintings, I sign all my paintings with: Bouxbart™ by Tuttidee. My father passed in 2010 and my mother is currently 91 and living well.
Bouxbart watermark is not on actual paintings.

Haena Beach, Kauai
When the trade winds come to Haena Beach the waves get HUGE and deadly. Our first visit there, this is what we saw. At other times during the year it’s very calm with very low waves. It is a sight to see for sure. This painting is 40” x 30”
Lily Pad in the Dark
This is a memory of a piece of art at the imaging office I went to for my procedure in Houston. The entire background is black signifying that even in the darkness the light shines through. There are a lot of green leaves yet one unique flower. Let your light shine in the darkness. This painting is 18” x 24”
Water Lilies Abreast
The background water is done with an actual paint brush while the lily pads are done with my layering technique. This painting is 18”x24”
Sunshine Seeker
The thought of summer ending and North Texas finally getting some rain makes the flowers and other plants happy. Walking in the mornings as the sun rises feels good in so many ways. Close your eyes and face the sun and take in all that is good…just like flowers do. This painting is 16” x 20”
Red Passion
Starting with a red washed background with a touch of pink, this lovely has flowers that are a single impression of three red hues and a touch of yellow. Very tricky, indeed. The leaves are a single impression of three green hues. This painting is 16” x 20”
Energy in Beauty
The background is a natural brush of yellow with touches of orange and red. Feel the breeze on the side of a country road that takes to you a place of rejuvenation and energy. This painting is 16” x 20”

Memories of Monet
I enjoy getting up close and personal with lily ponds. They change throughout thte year so the colors I use change as well. The time of day can affect the colors, too, just like our moods. Lily ponds bring a stagnant, calming beauty to behold. This painting is 24” x 30”

Bouxb-On-Its at the Winery SOLD
There is a winery in the country just a few minutes from our house that has bluebonnets in the spring. This painting is from a photo I took there last year.

Flour de Jour
The background is done in my favorite wash technique. This bouquet of flowers is done in the Bouxbart™ smear technique with a touch of change. Instead of using a palette I dropped the paint onto this giant canvas and swirled to smeared the paint around. Not an easy painting to do but I think it came out great! This painting is 48” x 36”
Bouxb On It Drive
Each spring we always seem to drive past a huge field of bluebonnets somewhere in north or central Texas. If you stop for a photo op be sure to watch for snakes!

At the luau on Maui we saw so many beautiful flowers and costumes on the dancers. They may not have looked like this but the colors inspired this imPRESSionistic painting. Aloha! This painting is 18” x 24”
