30 Days of Painting ~ Glass Study #6 Blue and Green by Karen Balon
 |
| Glass Study #6 ~ Blue and Green Glass 8"x8" oil on Archival BoardClick for a Larger View Making just a little more progress rendering glass in Oil paints! Glass Study #6 I believe is my best one so far. Though I have started study #7 so stay tuned. Some of my astute artist friends, if you look closele or go to the Larger View you may notice a few brush strokes (shhh, don't tell) I know, another traditional painting (my 3rd in 3 years) and Brush strokes too! ] Can you believe it??? Sadly, I have fallen of the wagon of 30 days of painting. However, the reason for this was because I was in Scottsdale AZ going from gallery to gallery viewing LOTS of art! So in a way I was painting with my eyes ad memories. Does that count? I am going to say yes! I am back home now and back to the paints with lots of inspiration and ideas! We shall see what these ideas turn into? Visit the Heart of My Art Go Inside My Head Like Me on Facebook |

Sun "Storm" for the Winter Solstice by Karen Balon
 |
| Storm 6"x6" Oil on Archival Board Available unframed or framed For a Larger View, Click Here I've been in a creative Funk! Partly because the days are short and my energy is low. Partly because I've been learning/teaching myself to paint glass and none are suitable for viewing yet. When I am in a Really BIG creative Funk I turn to painting the Sun. I don't know what it is about the Sun? But it is the one thing that I can sit down and start off the same way every time and just let them flow out of me. Each one comes out in it's own unique way and I never have a clue as to what it is really going to look like until the muse says to me I am finished. They don't take me very long to do and they are quite relaxing to paint. I Love their fiery color and the wonderful texture they get due to my use of the palette knife. As the winter solstice is upon us and deep in the dark of the longest night Sing to the newborn Sun and may this fiery Sun Storm warm you from within. Please feel free to hang out in the warmth and energy of this sun and then pass it along to someone else who might be in the need of the it's energy as well.

| Fall Foliage 6"x6" oil on board palette knife painting For a Larger View, Click Here |
Looking
back on painting these
Palm Trees
in non-traditional colors
I think my New England heritage
was making an appearance.
Though I may be living in the desert
these days my heart
will always be in New England
in the Fall.
So I guess it was only natural
for me to combine
my fascination with the Palm Trees of my current surroundings
with my love for the colors of
New England in the fall.

Been having a little love affair with Palm Trees as of late.
Love the easy breezy relaxed way they have about them,
Their graceful sway,
The I don't have a care in the world sound.
Just makes you want to sit under one and and enjoy a coconut cocktail.
So I decided it might be fun to play with some Palm Trees in the studio.
There is the more Traditional palm,
color and style.
And,
The less traditional with loose free knife strokes
using purple and pink colors.
