Garden Poppies Miniature Treasure acrylic painting by Marion Hedger

 Garden Poppies Miniature Treasure

by Marion Hedger

palette knife painting

acrylic on MDF panel

10x15cm (4"x6")

Available on Daily Paintworks

I'm looking forward to the spring. The poppies will soon be popping up all over the garden. I let these poppies self seed each year and often help them by collecting the seed and sowing them. This year we should have a really good display as we have been rearranging the garden and poppies just love disturbed ground.

About this painting
This was painted with a palette knife, but because I used acrylics there is much less texture than when I use oils. I have not used acrylics much over the last couple of years, but I did like the fast drying and not having to treat the painting so delicately and waiting for it to dry. The surface has been varnished for protection.

The edges have been painted black, so it can be displayed on a plate stand. It would also look good framed (no glass needed).
Here is an example of it framed.

Aspen Tree Paintings by Atlanta Artist, Jill Saur

©1990-2014 Fall Aspen Tree Painting by Jill Saur, all rights reserved

Four feet tall by three feet wide, my original acrylic fall aspen tree palette knife painting on canvas is titled, "Sequestered Dream".  I was inspired to paint this after one of my trips to beautiful Eastern Colorado, where some of the largest aspen trees in America grow. 

This painting is loaded with texture and has a beautiful glow during the daytime hours. In the evening it simply radiates with light!  This work of art is destined to be the focal point for someones beautiful home or place of business.  Is it you?  Contact me: CLICK HERE

Horse #12 Hesitation by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Horse #12 Hesitation

9 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas. $100

Available Paintings by Laurie Pace 

I absolutely love doing this small ones again. It seems to open up so much potential for larger paintings.  There is a sense of freedom with the color and the fear of 'correctness' does not seem to creep in. The creation is in the palette and the mix directly on the canvas.

Again with this horse painting there is a layer of colors of acrylics and then the oils pulled on top in the same areas. It is 'accidental' happenings as they mix and take form.

Yesterday Terry and I drove out to east Texas to Mount Vernon where we use to live. I tried to reach Ann on our way there, but I missed her. She is a dear friend that I could have used her hug!  We visited the Fletchers, our oldest friends since junior high. They have 200 acres, cows, horses, donkeys, birds, snakes... you name it, it is probably there! It was short three hour visit for the four hours of travel time, but I am glad we went.  It left me with some sneezing today...but hopefully that will be short lived! I did get LOTS of horse pictures that support my work... along with some trees and pathways.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NIV

We painted bougainvillea and daisies in my Fort Lauderdale, Florida workshop this morning. What fun to paint with ladies from Utah, Canada, New Hampshire, Minnesota and across Florida today. We did not spot any gators, but we did see plenty of flowers blooming! It's always good to paint with palm trees swaying outside the classroom window, don't you agree? Get your beach shoes on, strum your ukelele, and stay tuned to my art bloggy, I'll be sharing even more pictures from sunny Florida with you this weekend!

A peek at the studio models!

Talented ladies and their daisy masterworks, perched beneath the palms!

Sunny Trio Miniature Treasure palette knife painting by Marion Hedger

Sunny Trio Miniature Treasure
palette knife painting

oil on loose canvas

10x15cm (4"x5")

Available for auction starting at $36

This miniature treasure is painted with a palette knife on canvas from a canvas pad by Belle Arti from Italy, who also make the canvas panels I use. It is a medium cotton canvas and primed. The surface is quite smooth but it accepts the palette knife quite nicely and I enjoy painting on this surface. I used a ground of yellow on the canvas which breaks through in place and adds light to the painting.

Still Life Bottle Painting, "Fluer de Lis" by Carol Schiff, 6x18x1.5" Oil SOLD

I like to collect bottles, so, it is a natural for me to do a still life bottle painting.  I like the fluer de lis on the bottle as well as the bold gold color.

SOLD

 Painting this bottle was a challenge for me, but photographing the results was even more frustrating.  Try as I might, I could not get the correct background color to show.  The image above is much too blue while the one below seems more accurate.

Thank you for viewing my still life bottle painting today and please feel free to pin it if you so desire.

It was warm and sunny when I landed in Fort Lauderdale this morning, but a Big Ole storm blew in and flapped the palm trees around a few hours later. Nothing like warm wet rain to give you a good soaking, as you recall you forgot your blow dryer and discover the cute little raincoat you are wearing is not waterproof! Fortunately the rain is gone now, since students from Canada, Utah, Texas and across Florida will join me tomorrow for a four day workshop here. We have red tulips, bougainvillea, sunflowers, daisies, and plumbago so stay tuned to see what strikes our fancy on the canvas tomorrow!

I love color, and I love temperature extremes, and I especially like what happens when you toss all those ingredients into the same salad bowl and come up with a bit of painting potpourri. Tomorrow I'll be shopping for tropicals, so stay tuned for a bit more wildness to come...
