"Looking Out to Sea" by Lynda Cookson

This little number, in the freezing weather we're having in the northern hemisphere at the moment, is presently at Gallery 1608 in Bushmills (yes, where the whiskey comes from!) in Northern Ireland.

I just thought we all needed a little warmth today!!

Where do I go from here?, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting

Traditionally, January is when we evaluate our performance over the last twelve months, and look at the direction we are headed.  I am a little late!

Artistically, I see nothing but question marks.  I want to have a clear plan, a path to follow and mark my progress, but alas, it evades me.


I looked through my posts from last year, and picked out my favorite pieces, hoping against hope that they will tell me where I am headed.



 Abstract Expressionism?


Maybe....


Thick Paint?

 Impressionism?




 Brushwork?
 Knife?

Really thin paint?




Or does it really matter?



All this thinking is making my head hurt!  

I am happy I found this many pieces, from last year, that speak to ME.  I am happy with them which makes me happy with me.

Maybe 2018 will find me treading the straight and narrow.....but somehow, I don't think so.

Thank you all, for joining me on my crazy, unplanned journey!

Morning on the beach, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Beach Painting, Seagull on the Beach, 11x14" Original Oil

I have run from the snowy mountains, to the beaches of Florida.  Lucky me, I can walk on the beach, and work at the same time.




Purchase Here
 I photoed this guy, during my morning walk and painted soon after.




The birds are so conditioned to people, they barely move when you approach.  In the morning, it is all business, as they are looking for food.

We are enjoying our Florida winter on the beach.  Being a snowbird is a good thing!

Original Red Hibiscus Oil Painting, Floral Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8" SOLD

One of the joys  of living in Florida are the almost year round flowers in our landscapes.  Hibiscus is one of the most used here, and with good reason.  They are easy to grow, beautiful and available in many colors and one of the first to bloom in the spring and late in the winter season.


This one is a study in reds.  Elio Camacho states that red is the most difficult color to paint.  When you can paint a "red" painting, you have arrived (in the art world).

This does not qualify as a "red" painting in my mind.  A "red" study usually has several red objects, each with it's own shades of red.

detail


Still, this is good practice.

Elio likes to present his more advanced students with set ups that are all yellow, or blue, or green etc.  It is only the bravest who attempt the dreaded "all red" set up.

Thanks for viewing my blog today.

"Ancient Spirits of Connemara" by Lynda Cookson

I'm pretty sure I still have this little painting in my stock room somewhere.

We lived in Connemara for many years and absorbed the magic of the ancient history there ... with the help of some stunning and mystical weather.

"Ancient Spirits of Connemara" is inspired by the view from my studio there and I smile inside every time I look at this image.

"Glebe House, Co Donegal, Ireland" by Lynda Cookson

I was recently reminded of a little trio I painted whilst traveling in Ireland a few years ago. Glebe House in Co Donegal which stands at the edge of Lough Gartan was the inspiration for these minis.

California Landscape, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 11x14x1.5" , "Off PCH" by Carol Schiff Studio

My good friend, and excellent photographer, Ted Fuhrer,  has done it again, supplying me with so many inspiring images to paint from.  On of the many places he has lived was the coastal region of California.



Purchase here
225 + shipping 
Ted, I hope you think I did justice to your work.

I am always in awe of the western coast of our country.  Living on the east coast is great, and I am so blessed to be here. We have gentle surf, warm water, island music.... But to me, the west coast is larger than life.  So rugged, so big, a constant test to exist there. The boulders are larger than houses, the mountain streams are full of rushing rapids. The pioneer spirit is still alive there.  I cannpt wait to visit again.

"Going Crab Fishing" by Lynda Cookson

"Going Crab fishing" was inspired by a lovely, large, gent who wandered past us as we were parked overlooking a small bay within Douarnenez Bay on the west coast of Brittany in France. His character, walk and equipment were so much larger than life that all surroundings seemed to fall away.
