This was painted in response to the Daily Paintworks challenge a couple of weeks ago which was a "Root and Bulb challenge". OK, its a week or two late for the challenge but I have been meaning to paint this since then!

This type of garlic is a speciality of the region, this excert is from "Chocolate and Zuchinni" blog -
"Pink garlic?", you ask, your right eyebrow arched in curiosity. Well yes, it is a unique variety of garlic, grown exclusively in and around the medieval town of Lautrec, in the South of France. It is protected by an IGP (Protected Geographical Indication, a European certification of origin), benefits from a Label Rouge quality certification and, most importantly, it has been awarded the honorific title of Prince des Condiments.

The Power of Love in White, Teal and Pink Lace, Dress Painting by Nancy Medina

The Power of Love
in White, Teal and Pink Lace
by Nancy Medina
24X18
Oil on Deep Gallery Wrap Canvas

A number of elemental forces converged for the creation of The Power of Love in White, Teal and Pink Lace in Flower Mound Studio today: The fresh peonies had one last gasp, the big ole canvas was prepped and ready for something joyful to appear, and my new 29 dress collection was crying aloud for another member to join the growing ranks of frills and fluff! I'm working on my January art newsletter, too, and getting ready to pick a grand prize winner (yes, you will win the full day private lesson in Flower Mound Studio, keep thinking positive!). I confess that the pictures from the Golden Globes did have some influence on the decision to paint another dress, maybe it's just me, but I think the gowns were more elegant, overall, this year than I have seen in a very long time, what did you think?

If you haven't already, be sure to sign up for my monthly newsletter right here ~ a workshop winner will be announced bright and early Thursday!

"Cascading Rhythms" Palette Knife Oil Painting by Niki Gulley


“Cascading Rhythms” ©2014 Niki Gulley
12” x 24” textured oil on canvas

Water pounds its way down the falls: cascading, rushing, charging into the riverbed -- flowing over rocks, swiftly moving forward. Untamed, the surge finds its way over, under, around the boulder-strewn river. Tumbling waters drive up mists above the falls, the rhythmic sounds create a soothing harmony below. Autumn’s low light casts long lines through the Aspen trees and glowing verge.

Honesty and glass, oil palette knife painting by Marion Hedger 18x24cm (approx 7"x10")

 Honesty and glass  by Marion Hedger

Archival canvas panel
Take a look at Marion's art website


I struggled with this painting. The vase and jug are semi opaque and I had difficulty in getting that across. It's hard when using opaque paints to give the illusion of transparency. I also found the background difficult and changed it a few times. Does this one work? The green jug is made of recycled glass and is not symmetrical. I painted it a couple of times, before I discovered it wasn't just my painting LOL! What do you think, should I make it symmetrical?

Here are some close-ups of the painting




This is painting is for day 13 of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge hosted by Leslie Saeta. Pop over to my Joy of Colour blog to see the my other paintings in the challenge.

1533 On the Sandspit Indian River Plein Air Alla Prima

I painted this painting this morning, the last painting was looking toward the south and this one is looking north.  I left out the buildings in the distance and the bridge and docks.  The bird was there, I think he is a tricolor heron.  I was concerned we might get rained out, the weather report wasn't too promising.  It started out very clear and just a few minutes later these clouds blew in, moving fast.  All was well though, it didn't rain till late afternoon.

I was on the same spit of land as the bird, I was wondering if the tide would be coming in but I got lucky again it was going out.  There is some very shallow water to the left of the bird, that was gone when I packed up to go home.

The painting is 8 x 10 inches oil on masonite, $250.

"Hibiscus Hiatus" Original Oil Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

My mom and I went to Washington DC in August. One place we visited was the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden. We spent some time sitting around the fountain in the center of the garden, which was where I captured a photo of this great flower. My favorite part though was discovering the little Pavilion Cafe, a convenient lunch location that just happened to serve icy cold sangria to hot, thirsty tourists.

Provence Afternoon Sunflowers by Nancy Medina

Provence Afternoon Sunflowers
by Nancy Medina
20X16
Oil on Archival Panel

Class Demonstration
Provence Afternoon Sunflowers was my last class demonstration this past weekend in North Texas, my first workshop for the new year! The peonies we painted Friday will last about one more day, the delphiniums two, if I am very fortunate, but the paint and brushes will last longer, the imagination, the will to paint, longer still. Each painting feels like a step on a journey, and as I write my first newsletter for 2014 this week, I realize every year I have painted has had the ambiance of a new beginning. Every blank canvas holds new possibilities. As my thanks to everyone who has supported me in this dream and this journey, I'll be giving away a full day's private lesson. I'll announce the winner in my January Newsletter on Thursday. Sign up for my newsletter to win. Stay tuned, it could be your name that is drawn! Studio Director AnnieBee is quite excited when guests arrive so be prepared for some boisterous pug affection, too.

Progress with beginnings of Whirlwind, Contemporary Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace


© G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014


  

Whirlwind 
24 x 36 inches Oil on Canvas. Available
Email me if you are interested in this painting.

I sketched this on a canvas early fall. As I return to the studio, I pulled it out and put it on my easel. I picked up my bible and began to graze through the familiar words and my journey took me to 2 Kings and first paragraph in this chapter where Elijah has been told he will go to heaven in a whirlwind.  It reminded me of how we all will die one day and we do not ever know how or when. Only God knows.  So as I work on this painting, it will be inspired by this reading this morning.


The first layers are rubbed in with Acrylics sealing the canvas and preparing the under foundations of the painting. 

And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.  2 Kings 2:1

Dandy Daisies by Atlantic Coast Painter Roxanne Steed

12"x12" oil on gessobord
 Click here to purchase, or for more information.
This was actually finished right before Christmas. I'm taking some of those small florals ever larger. I'm really loving working on the gessobord, but I know when I go to the super large paintings, I find it better to work on canvas. The panels get extremely heavy at that size. So I do go back and forth with surfaces, I have several that I like to work on for a few different reasons.   I'm finding a greater comfort zone combining brushes with my palette knife work....at ALL sizes that I work in, from tiny to enormous.

Provence Pears and Daisies

Oil on Archival Panel

I've mentioned this a time or two, but it's difficult to contain myself these days. Because each time I wake up now I think, I LOVE my job! Today was the final day of my 3 day North Texas workshop for January, and I had students from South Carolina, Louisiana, Kansas, Oklahoma, and all over the Lone Star State. I'm planning some fun giveaways in honor of Valentine's for my next workshop coming right up. Pink colors, candy, spa related gifts, the possibilities are just ENDLESS! I was really blown away by the paintings my students created this week, they produced peonies, sunflowers, delphiniums and vases in multiple styles and colors, they worked from life, and they tackled every subject with enthusiasm. I've shared just a few glimpses of their paintings on my blog today that brightened up the room this weekend, enjoy!

Winter Aspen Tree Palette Knife Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley


“Climbing Trees” ©2013 Niki Gulley
40” x 30” oil on canvas

Growing up in the midwest, I loved the first snowfall of the year when everything would get a beautiful dusting of pristine white powder, including even the tiniest of branches in the treetops above. If you caught that moment early enough in the morning before anything had disturbed the intricate frosted web, it was just magical. Then the sun would start rising and peeking through the limbs, and everything would sparkle like diamonds. In Climbing Trees, I wanted to capture that beautiful moment when the sunlight dances through the icing on the treetops and you can feel yourself looking up in wonderment just like you did when you were a kid.



"Climbing Trees" and several of my contemporary palette knife landscapes are also on display at the Good Art Company Gallery in Fredericksburg, TX. For more information, please contact http://www.goodartcompany.com/gac/.

I have been down with Bronchitis for four weeks.  I am just now back in the studio. So many of the posts and horse paintings that have been up are available pieces. I promised new work soon.  This is pretty nasty stuff as it S L O W L Y begins to go away.  Stay home if you are sick. Do not share with others.

"Silver Dollars" Original Oil Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

Silver dollars so remind me of my Grandma Cronin and my childhood. I remember watching her and learning how to peel the papers from each side by rubbing it between my finger and thumb. They were nothing special, dried out and almost dirty looking, until those sides were removed. Then, a few seeds would fall out, and there in the middle was an irredescent, translucent, milky white paper--as if by magic.

New Year's Resolution by Pamela Blaies

Bright Rosy Morning
24" x 18"
oil on linen

Playing, staying up way too late and sleeping in was fun over the holidays, but I'm glad to be getting a little order back in my life. My New Year's Resolution is to work on keeping a peaceful balance in my life between all that I am trying to juggle. I find when I am disciplined about the time I spend in the studio, I am able to keep my art from taking away from my family and "mom" time. It worked pretty well this week, except I ignored all housework. Oh well - I guess something's gotta give!

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