Night Romance Original oil palette knife painting landscape by Karen Tarlton

Night Love

9x12

Oil

This little oil is part of a new Night series. Still wet but will be dry by next week with plenty of time to ship for Valentine's Day. A little bit of colorful romance.

As I get older and wiser, and more sentimental, I realize that finding a soul mate is a wonderful thing. I am so blessed because my husband of 28 years is my best friend and my joy. I think I paint many romance scenes like this around this time of year as an expression of that feeling, and I hope it spreads!

Grand Saguaro,12x9" oil on panel, by Kathryn Willis

This is a little plein air painting I did in Tucson last week at Sabino Canyon. It's amazing to set up my easel right beside of one of these giants and try to imagine getting the whole thing on a little panel. But, there he stands in all his glory!

Scout's Honor- sold

2012-01-26T17:16:00.004-06:00

6"x6" oil on gessoed masonite archival panel

"On my honor I will do my best
to do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
to help other people at all times;
to keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight." - Scout Oath, Boy Scouts of America

This has been quite a fun challenge for me. It's given me some insights into my husband, a cousin, and my father's scouting days. A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent....goes the Scout Law.

This young fellow pictured is the grandson of one of my collectors. At thirteen, he is one of the youngest in his region to earn both Eagle Scout and God & Church Awards. He is a fine young man, and has quite a wonderful future ahead of him! I am thrilled to have the opportunity to paint him.

Painting from plein air painting by Becky Joy

2012-01-25T18:05:00.001-06:00

"Rock Springs" oil 24"x30" $2900.

Click here to buy.

I starting painting this from a plein air painting that I had several months ago. I quickly blocked it in and did some work to it. I sent off the plein air painting called, The Source" oil 9x12", to the American Impressionist Society National Show. The painting sold right away. So, I no longer had my reference except for photos. I really wasn't happy with the work that I did to it before. Today, I finally got back to it and realized some of the problems that I had with the painting. Since it is a larger piece than the other one, I opened the sky a little on the left side. I also had grayed some of the colors too much. I lightened the trunks of the trees, put more light into the trees and made the colors much more vibrant. I went into the painting with much more gusto with the brush today.

Some days just feel more confident and ready to tackle anything. This was one of those days. It didn't take too long for me to get the painting on the right track. I also find that when I'm duplicating a painting, I need to put away the original one (in this case, the photo). It's important to look at the painting for itself. To do whatever that particular painting needs. Anyway, I feel much better about this now.Yesterday, I just got the news that I am invited to the Grand Canyon Plein Air in Sept 2012. So far, that is three acceptances for the new year, the Outdoor Painters Society Member show in Dallas, Telluride Plein Air and now GC.

Winter Walk in the Marsh

2012-01-25T16:05:00.004-06:00

6"x8" oil on linen mounted on archival board

"In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer." -Albert Camus

Yesterday I mother nature provided exactly what I needed, a gorgeous sunny day mid-winter here in Connecticut. I'm sure it hit at least mid-forties. It truly felt like spring and of course I knew I'd take the opportunity to go outside and paint.

I kept my supplies small, so I could bring along the least amount of weight, and hopefully get a painting in quickly before the wind picked up and froze me out! This little 'thumb-box' pochade is something I found at the Utrecht Art Supply store a few years ago. I don't use it that often as the egdes that hold your panel in make it difficult to paint with a knife. So I figured, I'd use knife AND brush on this one. It holds a 6x8" panel, and the palette slides in & out to store a few small tubes of paint underneath as well as brushes (short ones!). Finding special plein air supplies can be such fun- and less calories than going through the candy store!

Here's a link to buy this pochade box at Utrecht, scroll down the page to "Utrecht Wooden Pochade Box w/ Shoulder Strap, Lightweight" they're asking $89.99 for it, but watch for some of their online coupons and specials.

I take this little box when I truly am interested in hiking out to a spot and don't want to lug much at all. I'll put that little box, along with 7 tubes of paint inside (a warm & cool of each primary + white)and brushes & painting knife too, inside a tote bag, with some paper towels, plastic bags for trash, small camera (or cell phone camera), 'hand-warmers', a pair of pliers, a 'bulldog' clip to hold the trash bag on to the tote (so it doesn't blow away). It's all pretty light to carry this tote bag on one shoulder, while the on the other side, I'm carrying a little 3-legged folding camp-stool to sit on to paint. Yes, normally I'm standing to paint, but for winter painting, I try to be as comfortable and warm as possible. I figure keeping a low profile will keep me out of the wind, or at least be less of a target!

The other handy thing to go with this little box, is short handled brushes. Now you can either just tote along your regular long handled brushes, or saw them off to fit in your box, ...or just get some short handled brushes that are made to fit into a small pochade. Judson's Art Outfitters carries some that I've been using for many years now (when I bring along the small box). They offer filberts and flats and mine have held up quite well over the years.

When mother nature provides the sunshine, it's up to me to show up! and just paint!!

Spending Time Indoors by Pamela Blaies

2012-01-25T15:39:00.000-06:00

Untitled Study

11.5" x 9"

With the yucky winter weather lately, I've had to make the most of my time indoors in the studio. Today, I just finished a study that I completed in around 45 min. It was good to focus only on color and composition and forget about attending to details. It is a self portrait, so I've had to work from photos, but I can paint some of the scene from life as it is in my room by a north-facing window. The desk was the one I had growing up and although it is a traditional piece, it still has the psychedelic foil paper lining I used in the 70's. After I started working this morning, I realized I needed to add a brush. I've had to use my imagination to make this brush look old fashioned - check out what I used as a prop...

This palette knife painting has greys, blues, violets, reds and ochres bouncing around the white aspen trees. There is texture on this canvas because I used the palette knife and lots of paint.

Kit's Library of Visual Solutions 14"x11" plein air oil

$600. Click here to buy.

I had such a fun time painting out on location today. Not the typical pretty picture, but a painting of metal "junk". Or, as my friend Aryana says " Kit's Library of Visual Solutions". I went to my artist friends, Aryana and Kit's the morning to paint. They have so many interesting things on their property. I always enjoy the visual treat. I've even taken my friend Deb Groesser to their place to paint. We spent a day their. Previously, I've posted and painted their old jalopy truck "Giovanni". Kit is a metal sculptor and jeweler, thus his library of visual solutions.

Today I just got the news that I'm invited to the Grand Canyon Plein Air for Sep 2012. I'm very excited about how 2012 is shaping up.

Oil

"Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything."

I believe this goes for many aspects of life. In painting, it took me many years to learn not to over work a piece. I like a loose, painterly look and so I don't "tighten" it all up but seek balance instead.

This bird is so inspiring! Bold, colorful and loud. I'm not really personally like this, but I like to think my work sings out very loud and clear!

Cotton, Irrigation is On, oil 11"x14" by Becky Joy

Irrigation in the Arizona desert is vital to the growing of cotton. Once the cotton is about ready to harvest, the water is turned off and the green plants die leaving the white balls of cotton ready to pick. By 1920 cotton had become a major crop in Arizona during WWI, replacing much of the other crops that were produced. When the war ended, the cotton boom ended. During and after WWII there was a resurgence of Arizona cotton eventually with the planting of as many as 400,000 acres. It is still an important crop in Arizona with many remaining fields in the Casa Grande area.

PORTRAIT OF A BOY by OLGA WAGNER

2012-01-22T17:27:00.001-06:00

This painting is based on my Nephew Logan... This is my first portrait where I did not pre-draw the face. I used a brush to quickly sketch out the general outline and eye location and then proceeded with painting of the little dude. My goal was to come close to the likeness , but not to stress about it... For me painting people is much more of a stretch then painting furries - therefore I need more practice..practice...practice...

Tea Time

Oil on Canvas

16" x 20"

Tea Time Study

14" x 17"

I blogged about the study I did for Tea Time a couple of days ago, but thought I would include the photo of it again to show a side-by-side comparison. The study was supposed to have been a quick check of composition and color, but I really got caught up and put some time into it once I got started. I love the sepia, almost antique feel of the study, but decided to make the subjects cooler in color and the background and shadows warmer for the finished painting, which is more "true to life" color. As you can tell the flowers were fading fast and getting smaller by the day, I even had to replace the one in the middle. Usually a study turns out to be a very loose version of my finished piece, but in this case it almost seems like two completely different paintings.

BOSTON TERRIER PUPPY by OLGA WAGNER

2012-01-21T13:43:00.000-06:00

This is now the third time that I painted this little pup. I don't know what it is about him that makes me want to paint him, maybe it's the sad look that he projects onto the viewer. I have been very much under the weather the last few weeks. It's nasty cold will that not leave me alone... Painting this little bugger did lift my spirits a bit.

I also have the pear #5 on my easel. That one should be posted tomorrow - so stay tuned!

8" x 8" Oil

I took the photograph that inspired this painting in the fall.

Charleston, South Carolina was beautiful and I spent a wonderful day on foot exploring art galleries and photographing for future paintings.

I particularly love the colors of the marshlands in the south.

It would be nice to be right back there now as it is wet and rainy in Southern California as I write this!

A wonderful red peeks through the painting on parts of the canvas - hopefully you can see this on your computer.

Arizona Artist oil landscape painting autumn aspen trees

2012-01-20T18:14:00.001-06:00

Hi everyone,
I finally finished this painting, a 36"x32" oil. I started it about 6 months ago, lost interest or momentum on it. Set it aside. And got it back out yesterday. I worked on it yesterday, thought I was finished, but no. I went to photograph it today and realized I still needed a lot of work on it. I put it back up on the easel and thought I finished about 5 more times, each time photographing it, seeing something that needed to be done and working on it more. I THINK I'm done now. I hope so. I feel like I'm done with it.

Last night I went to the Putney Painters opening at Legacy Gallery. Of course, it was wonderful. After visiting some of the other galleries, I even had to go back and look at them again. I saw a few friends at the show and on the street (going to the galleries). Qiang Huang was there with his two magnificent paintings. For someone from Austin, I sure run into him I think every time he has come to Phoenix, 3 maybe 4 times now. Daniel Keys paintings were some of my favorites and of course, Richard Schmidt's. There's always so much to take in at these shows. Love it.

Sunset Serenade oil 6"x6" Click here to bid at $95.

This is another painting from my imagination. I wanted to have a green sky. The pink clouds contrast nicely with it.
Today I had a great painting day. I finished two small paintings that are being set aside for the 5 C's art project for the Arizona Centennial. I also finished a large painting of aspen trees that had been sitting aside in the studio waaaay too long. I saw that a painter has one day a week to finish unfinished paintings. I wonder if I could be that organized? Nah!!
Tonight I'm going down to Scottsdale for the art walk and to see the Putney Painters Exhibit at Legacy Gallery. I'll let you know about it later.

Estes Park Colorado Landscape Painting

2012-01-20T08:00:00.004-06:00

Last year, Tom and I went to Estes Park, Colorado. It is one of our treasured National Parks that I hope to return to one day. If you ever get a chance to visit, be sure you spend a day up at Bear Lake! Tom and I went at least two or three times. We came away with some incredible photos for me to use for subject matter to paint. This 11"x14" acrylic painting, "Autumn Inspiration" is inspired by one of my walks up at Bear Lake. The aspens were just beginning to change. The brilliant hues of the quaking leaves, against the azure sky, captured my spirit. I suppose that's why we went back two days later to do some more photo shoots and take in the extraordinary beauty of this magical wonderland.

This expressive painting is available on my website. I invite you to become a collector and experience the joy of owning artwork that inspires and uplifts your soul! - Jill

---------------------------------------------

Some boats are pretty...they are meant for sailing but they are meant for beauty, too. The lines, the angles, the way they slip through the water, everything about them is marvelous to behold. And some boats are meant for work. They are built to get the job done. Strictly utilitarian in design. You still get the wonderful feel of cutting through the water but without the bling. This little fishing boat is one of those. I found it pulled up and tied at the edge of the marsh. It had been well used but the patina was what I loved most about it.
As I was painting it, I was reminded of my brother. When we were teenagers, he got a boat. Actually my dad told him he was going to buy him a boat. I don't know exactly what sort of boat my brother was expecting but when my dad showed him the little aluminum fishing boat, I could tell that was not what he had in mind. The look on his face told it all. Poor guy. He should have known what was coming because my dad was nothing but practical, just like this little boat!

"Golden Aura" new textured birch tree painting by Niki Gulley

2012-01-20T06:30:00.000-06:00

48" x 60" textured oil painting on wrap around canvas

Painted with extremely thick oil paint and palette knives so that this canvas is loaded with texture and bursting with color, flickering autumn leaves seem to almost dance in a gentle breeze. I wanted this scene to be filled with movement and energy, so I incorporated a lot of diagonal and curving shapes in the design to suggest that feeling. While combining short staccato strokes along with long sweeping passes with my palette knives also increase that sense of motion. I hope you, too, can feel the excitement of walking through the woods on a beautiful fall day, letting your cares slip away and your spirit being invigorated.

Email me for more information on this birch painting.

You Are My Sunshine

24" x 12" Oil on Canvas

This painting was shipped to Colorado yesterday. It would like really nice with a pewter/plein air moulding. I tried framing it in a black moulding and it was too much. Too much contrast between the painting and the frame. I used a different color palette on this painting...much more yellows and greens than normal. Thanks for looking at this blog. Kay

Tea Time Study

My kids just finished their last finals Tuesday. I guess their preparation is catching because this has been a week of studies for me, too. I finished a study Monday for a figurative work I have been thinking about for a while, now. Then I realized I had better work on some roses I have while they are still fresh. The tea cups are my mother's wedding china and I added a few pears and some silver. My intention was to do a quick study, just to check color and composition, but I was having fun painting this and got into some details. I love how the colors work together to create an almost antique feeling. Today, study time is over, finals commence!

I love to share my art and inspiration. Click HERE to sign up for my email newsletter and receive a free gift of postcards.

Hi everyone,
I started with a photo of the water and trees to get the shapes. Then created a mood by changing the lighting and adding the house, lights and reflection. The photo was taken on the Swan River in Montana in Big Fork.I'm holding the painting back to submit to a show.

This is an 11x14 painting of a cotton field in Casa Grande, AZ. The cotton was being picked and packaged at this time. The painting is part of my 5 C's exhibitions for the Arizona Centennial. Go to my blog, http://arizonacentennial.blogspot.com to see more about the shows.

---------------------------------------------
This painting was done as a challenge for a painting group that I am a member of. The challenge was "no brush" ...anything else was fair game. I used a palette knife for the whole painting with the exception of a smudge here and there with my finger. The pink and purple clouds reminded me of cotton candy....hence the name!

by Nancy Medina

Purchase Information

Nancy Medina Web Site

Simple Joys Sunflowers and Larkspur is the newest painting in Flower Mound Studio today, and celebrates a bit of happiness in my home. When I get tired or discouraged, I find little things to give me something to look forward to. I love making my first cup of tea in the morning, adding creme and sugar, and that first warm sip. I love the ritual of waking up the puggies, giving each of them a kiss and telling them how much I adore them and asking if they are ready for breakfast. (The answer, as you can imagine, is always a resounding YES!). If I try, I can find over a dozen little joys that make up each day. When times are hard or I am sad, I use each of them like stepping stones to make my way through. I hope you have a simple happiness in your life each day, something that keeps you strong on your journey. If you don't, I highly recommend getting a pug or three.... These little fatties always make me laugh.

"Autumn Emergence" new birch tree oil painting by Niki Gulley

2012-01-18T06:30:00.000-06:00

36” x 60” textured oil painting on wrap around canvas

I wanted this painting to be about the power and energy in nature to invigorate your spirit, so I chose to use warm vivid colors and thick staccato strokes to add to that feeling. I placed the foliage in diagonal sweeping shapes to create a sense of movement, and so that you can feel the wind gently rustling the leaves and causing them to dance.

Here is Pear #2 completed with a palette knife...Do I smell #3 coming??? It would be cool having a bunch of these hanging together.

I painted this one for the Daily Paintworks Color of the year Challenge. The challenge at hand was to create a painting with "Tangerine Tango" - Color of the Year selected by the Pantone Company. To read about the Challenge and to see all the entries click HERE.

I used a mixture of Charvin Cadmium Scarlet and Golden Naples Yellow to get the Tangerine Effect.

I really love this one. Just like the first pear it has great texture, color combination and will look awesome framed in a 3 inch black frame. Both pears (unless sold) will be hanging at my February Art Reception at Local Color Gallery.

CHIHUAHUA PUPPY IN A HAND by OLGA WAGNER

Every year I end up getting a tube of Torrit Grey from Gamblin. Torrit Grey is created once per year by combining all the paint dust collected in the filtration system. Since the dust particles vary from year to year, so does the end product. Every year Torrit Grey is unique. Lat year the grey had a violet hue to it. This year it it reminds me of graphite.

This painting was created by using Torrit Grey, Titanium White and a touch of Lukas Magenta Red and Manganese Blue

Little Miss Independent

20" x 16"

Oil on Canvas

This adorable little princess, full of confidence and poise is the niece of a friend. With the sun filtering through her tiny gown and glittering like gold dust onto her hair to the gardens around, this scene was fun to paint.

I find myself inspired by light in a subject. To me, light changes a painting from ordinary to delightful. Light shines more brightly in a painting with sufficient contrast. I find that a good analogy for my life experiences, too. Experiencing sad or painful times makes my happy times seem happier.

BOLD, COLORFUL PLEIN AIR by TOM BROWN

2012-01-14T15:25:00.001-06:00

I enjoy painting with both the palette knife as well as with brushes. Each method creates a different look.

This plein air painting was done almost exclusively with the knife to create the bold, painterly feeling I wanted to capture. I did use a small brush to add tree limbs, and a bit of blending in the sky was done with my fingers. This painting sparkles like a little jewel.

I haven't blogged in awhile. My dad had a stroke last week and passed away this past Sunday. He was a wonderful man who made a difference in many lives and many people loved him. His family was very dear to him and we all felt very secure in his deep abiding love for us. I was so glad I was able to show him this finished painting of his granddaughter during our big family Christmas together. He just loved it. We shared a love of art and I know he will be proud to watch as I continue to pursue my passion of painting.

This is one of a series of water paintings that I have been working on over the last month. I am working from my memories of years spent at the beach and from a set of photos I took this summer. I have had so much fun exploring the light patterns and the push and pull of the water with my paint. Hope you enjoy seeing the results and stay tuned for more in the coming weeks!

Fall Romance

Oil

With Valentine's day in only a month....I'm starting to paint some brand new romance landscapes. I used some of my favorite vibrant colors in this with luscious artist oils!

"The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life." ~William Faulkner
