Shimmering Olives - Sold by Marion Hedger

Olive Tree Trio
SOLD
by Marion Hedger
30x24cm (approx 12"x10")
Oil on gessoed panel
palette knife painting


Olive Trees
This is an amalgam of trees from different photos but I quite like the way it came together. I wanted to show how olive trees are blue, turquoise and green all at the same time, particularly if there is a slight breeze blowing.
It is slightly larger that the other four paintings (which can be seen HERE) and this allowed me to concentrate on the form of the trunks. I love the rough, tactile, gnarled bark of the olive trees, a product of the hard pruning they receive.

Niçoise speciality
Here around Nice the olives produced by the trees are very small, but they are delicious and are a Niçoise speciality. We have three olive trees in the garden but I have never preserved the olives as it takes ages to get them to the edible stage. Raw they are extremely bitter and have to be soaked in brine to be edible.

Changeover - The start of Autumn with WIP photos, by Marion Hedger


Changeover -  The start of Autumn
by Marion Hedger
30x40cm oil on gallery wrapped canvas

We don't get much in the way of autumn colours here in the Alpes Maritime although sometimes you get surprising little pockets where the autumn colours shine. This lovely spot is in the Parc d'Esteron in the Alpes Maritime. We found it by accident down a tiny track we decided to explore during one of our country drives.

Shadowland, finished and WIP photos by Marion Hedger

Shadowland
by Marion Hedger
24x30cm oil on canvas panel.

The 30 painting in 30 days challenge has finished - Well it finished at the end of September of course, I have just been a bit slow in collating all my paintings and posting.


The 30 day challenges are fun and it really does make you think about painting and producing art. Some work out and others are not so good but it is the palette knife (or brush) miles that count. I included more larger paintings than my usual 18x24cm than I normally do to allow myself more freedom - sometimes making a composition fit on the smaller boards is difficult, especially if, like me, you have a tendency to put in too much detail. Consequently I had a many more not quite finished paintings than normal.

I am gradually working my way through them adding the final touches. I shall share these as I go along.

Today's painting is 'Shadowland'. It needed more work on the shadows and some touching up on the background colours. I am now happy with it and it reminds me of the day we walked through the dappled shadows in the woods at Chateau la Coste.

Here are some work-in-progress photos:

Modern Impressionist painting, Last Sunlight, by Marion Hedger

"Last Sunlight, knife painting"
by Marion Hedger
Oil on artist quality on stretched canvas, painted with a palette knife
Size = 30x40cm (approx 12"x16")

An modern impressionist Provencal landscape painting featuring the remains of a Roman Fort near Le Rouret in the Alpes Maritime. Amazingly after all these years some of the battlements are still standing and can be reached after an arduous (for me) walk up the mountain. The tree stands guard over the remains and catches the light in what is now a shady spot.

Painted with a palette knife, the knife strokes are thick and juicy giving this painting a lot of texture as can be shown in the close-up photos. The use of the palette knife means the colour stays fresh and vibrant giving a vibrant painting.

Sunset Silhouettes oil painting by Marion Hedger

Sunset Silhouettes palette knife painting
by Marion Hedger
24x30cm, 3mm thick MDF canvas board
Available in my Etsy Store

I used a reference of trees on the horizon as a starting point for this painting. The light was fairly neutral so I gave it a sunset background which gave the trees a certain starkness.
