This is "Edgar Allan Poe" part of the Thinking Cap series, he has been a very popular painting on the internet with comments, views, inquiries and prints selling of him on my website. 24x30 oil

"Rat Race" 24x30 oil
This one is the first in a series called "Rat Race" I am currently working on another taking place on a golf course.

his one above is "That Damn GPS!" Finished this one last week. I used a 1959 Cadillac, This one really cracks me up, I plan on making this into a series and a 2nd one will come up down the line. 24x30 oil

"Super Rat" 12x16 oil. he was a cool character I came up with a few days ago that I want to do other paintings with. He has such a retro quality to him.

The one above is "Protecting Baby 6" A lengthy series I have been doing over 6 years. The Pears always represent people where the Mama pear is protecting baby pear from danger. All my others are in private collections from around the world, this is the only one available. 18x24 oil

Above; "The Winner of the Ugly Dog Contest 2011" 12x16 oil
when I saw this little guy in the news I just couldn't resist doing a painting of him so he is out there for ever now with love. Poor,cute in his own way little guy!

"The Ugly Duckling" 12x16 Oil
This just came to mind one evening, but instead of ugly I think he came out being a little too cute and maybe a bit tipsy lol. I still like it though. Everyone have a great weekend! Sorry I had been behind in adding new work, have had many shows to deal with and I'm a mom. Leah Saulnier The Painting Maniac

The Mechanic

My Recent Painting's for March and April

"The Thinking Cap" This one has to do with the house symbolizing the brain and thought's are coming in and out the window's. I have many more ideas for this series! The next one's are a diptych called "Dream within a Dream"

This Next painting I did as a gift to an artist friend named Sal Marino. He sent me a portrait he painted of me as a surprise, so in return I did this funny piece with his work hanging on the back wall. It's called "The Scream At The Big Smiles Art Show"

An article By Viet Tran Written about my Work

ARTIST SAULNIER’S SURREAL WORLD
By Viet Tran

It has been fun getting into artist Saulnier’s surreal world of humour and fantasy. Viewers would extract an amazing story from every piece of her art depending on their own imagination. Her works have brought viewers to the sunny side of their day as those works could jack up their humour and happy mood. In addition, viewers can see their childhood wonders reflected in her works. I couldn’t stop laughing when I relate her works to some of the hilarious scenarios in the real life.

Her work Mother Nature reminded me about the very controversial phenomenon of global warming or climate change in a moderate term. Existence of human beings is at fault not only for abnormal and extremely lousy weather, but also for other natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, snow storms, draughts, tsunamis, earthquakes, etc. Doom-day Sayers are panicked, crying, and shouting: “Duck! The sky is falling and the earth is about to end”.

There have been scientific games of pointing fingers. Who should be blamed for destroying our beautiful Mother Nature? Neither YOU nor ME as it is impossible to point our sensitive fingers inward to our lovely hearts. Can you tell me who is so insane to do so? There is likely no way to blame vehicles, planes, cruise-ships, coal-burnt trains. Those means of modern transportation give us joy and convenience in our daily activities. It is impossible to blame industrial factories in China as they produce cheap products essential to our survival, particularly during the tough time of currently global economic downturn.

Why don’t we blame painter Saulnier’s Monkey that ate too much banana and shot banana peels that punched big holes in the ozone layers, or surrealist Saulnier’s Cow– the one being abducted by alien – for its production of too much methane? Wouldn’t it be better to put the blame on her Fruit Collector for eating too much vegetables, fruit, and leaves which led to less greenhouse effect or her Eccentric Farmer for his wild dream of being an artist instead of growing vegetables and grass on his farmland?

The Amazing Race

Here is the latest painting in "The Amazing Race" series. There are 5 total now with this one being the only one available. I just love the thought of retro planes racing with giant fruit instead of bombs, Even though I am referring to this one having cherry bombs it is more of a joke. I am planning a huge one in this series maybe around 48x60 in the next few months. If anyone wants more info on this piece email me. I also have prints available of everyone of them in the series at www.paintingmaniac.com Thanks for reading my blog! Leah Saulnier The Painting Maniac
