Morning Sun, Lavender Rows by Roxanne Steed
6"x8" oil on Belgian linen mounted on archival board
"Instead of looking at the subject and bringing it into ourselves (as beginning artists often do), we should learn to ask, What things within me can I bring out in this subject?"
- Dan McCaw
I'm finally back home after some extended travel, and it is so good to get back into my normal routine again! So my dilemma has been either no internet connection, or no time to share what's been going on! So- back to where I left off, almost three weeks ago now, during my trip to San Diego - I enjoyed a couple days of painting over at Keys Creek Lavender Farm - what a wonderful place- even in the off season. During my second day of painting there, I wanted to arrive early enough to paint the rows you see when you initially drive up. Even though they've been harvested, the rows themselves and the shadows they cast around the curve of the dirt road are really wonderful in the early morning sun!
I have one more painting from Keys Creek Lavender Farm that I'll post tomorrow...and in the coming blog-posts, news about a recent commission, my trip to Norfolk, VA for the big art event (my newest collector is Bank Of Hampton Roads!) as well as an award for another painting...finally ended by spending this past week helping my daughters in northern Virginia move from 2 apartments into one (that part of my travels felt like boot-camp). It's good to be back home.

BECKY JOY wintersnow scene oil painting
Lately I've been working on larger paintings and finishing paintings that I have started. Today I finished this 20x24. I started with an abstract design with the color and lights and darks then did some negative painting, then positive. Back and forth. This was a painting that I had started a couple of weeks ago. I wasn't happy with the composition or the color. I had the trees to light and bright and there was no where for me to go as far as light accents. The sky and snow are a violet color which I thought was very pleasing with the orange reds. This was a lot of fun once I let go and just started with a loose design. It was too tight before and I wasn't having fun with it.
I posted this on my website and also updated my website. I've got another on the easel today and will probably paint through Halloween on it.
Talk to you all later

I was born in Essex, England in 1944 and emigrated to Canada in 1957, residing first in Toronto and moving to Calgary in 1960. Now residing in Kelowna, British Columbia. Early influences on my style and career included J M W Turner and John Constable.
Later, the work of the late French minimalist Nicolas De Stael played the most significant role in my development as a painter. My landscape paintings are abstracted to simple forms relying on texture and tonal variations to create drama.
My still-life and flower works are painted with a palette knife and sometimes brush in acrylic either on canvass or panels. I build the shapes of the abstracted flowers, not being at all concerned with the type of flower, by layering subtle changes in tone and colour value, creating my own style of still-life. Most of my landscapes are painted with a brush although occasionally a palette knife may be used for effect.
My paintings hang in corporate and private collections across the world. I've had a number of solo and group exhibitions in Canada and the USA.
I'm a member of Landscape Artists International and the International Society of Acrylic Painters.

VIDEO ABOUT NIGHT PAINTING BY TOM BROWN
“NIGHT RIDER”
5x7 inch original plein air
oil painting by Tom Brown
I actually painted this outdoors AT NIGHT using a palette knife and the compact pochade paintbox shown in my YouTube video.
Initially there was no traffic on this deserted road, but just as I was finishing the painting a car came whipping down the road. It changed the entire feeling of the scene.
The car was gone in a flash, but working from memory I immediately added the blast of light from his headlights and the streak of red from his tail lights. Click the detail image for a better view. Hope you like it.
This painting is on eBay with a VERY low starting bid for a short time. Click here to bid:

Welcome to my art blog. I am an oil painter with a BFA from the University of Guelph. My goal is not to render the subject exactly, but rather to explore it with the paint keeping the application loose and spontaneous. I use the impasto technique which allows for wonderful texture and really celebrates the medium. I want the viewer to see the knife or brush work - to be aware of and have an appreciation for the paint.

plein air and studio oil paintings by BECKY JOY
These are some studio paintings that I finished this week. With cleaning my studio and moving things from place to place I decided to finish these that have been sitting around undone. After a second or third look or a long period of not looking at the paintings, it is amazing what you see that you didn't the first time around. All needed some changes, tweaking or major overhauls.
I also have a few more of the plein air paintings from San Luis Obispo that I didn't post. Two of those paintings are posted below. All these paintings are posted on my website at www.beckyjoy.com.

"Atmospheric Winds" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting miniature on panel
A sweet little abstract painting here -- with a short explanation! Years ago I worked at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulderl, Colorado. The atmospheric scientists there tended to hang out on occasion in the "map room" where odometers and other graphs reigned supreme. They were completely taken with the climate, meteorology, atmosphere -- every once in a while a great Chinook wind would pound Boulder, often with wind gusts over 100 mph! Mama Nature ruled, man! This is an ode to that era of my life.
By the way: you may know by now that I've applied new pricing to my oil paintings, as most are not in galleries. This one is for sale at $36 which includes s/h in North America.

I have also set up a second website, www.PaintingsOnGlass.com, to showcase my paintings on glass. There is a piece in progress as I type with sailboats.

"Sailing at Dusk" by Karla Nolan, palette knife miniature oil painting on linen panel
Busy, busy, busy! I have been so, so busy! It's been fun, though, painting miniatures onto linen panels. It's challenging to provide any detail in such a tiny space! Obviously my influence has been our recent trip back East -- there's not much in the way of ocean in Colorado! We do have reservoirs, rivers, streams, lakes and so on, but somehow the Rhode Island trip seems to have been a bit of a kick in the pants for me regrading boats and water. I hope you are enjoying it as much as I hate. (More coming!)

This 6x6 oil on canvas board is available on my website
for $110. includes an easel & free shipping in US.
To purchase click here.
Today I had more painting time. I took a day off from construction, except to hold board a couple of times.
I started this painting and wiped it off not once, but twice. The second time I liked the look of the canvas in places where I wiped it off, so I kept it thin in the sky. I added the cloud with the brush and the light with the palette knife. This was a painting more about color than anything else. I like adding a touch of light in the ground to help balance the light in the sky. It gives a little more interest to the painting than just sky.
I also finished a larger painting today and touched up one that I realized after looking at it for a while that I wasn't really done with it. I needed to be more aggressive with the paint. I'll have to photograph it later.
I got a call from Link Gallery in Wyoming. They received the paintings that I sent them and everything shipped just fine. Always a relief to hear that.
Well, more painting tomorrow.

"Moon Over Ocean" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting miniature linen panel
Being the landlocked Colorado chickie that I am, I must tell you how much I appreciate the moon and its reflection over the ocean. It's a rare sight for me, as we only get to either Coast about once a year and that's not always near a beach! So...with stars sparkling in the skies, the moon aglow -- what can I say? Here we go!

"Falling Snow" by Kristin Jurist Haakenson
"Falling Snow" by Kristin Jurist Haakenson
acrylic on canvas
24" x 24" x 1.5"
$900 + $30 shipping & handling (contact)
I've been in a wintry mood lately - that is to say, I've been aching for peaceful, snowy days that make the world a lot quieter and hot chocolate all the more delicious.
Since it's mostly just a rainy mess out here, I found a lot of my atmospheric inspiration from reading a poem by Joanna Klink called "Porch In Snow." It helped to put me in the right mindset for this painting. Originally featured in Klink's amazing book of poetry called Circadian, I first came upon "Porch In Snow" in an absolutely outstanding anthology called Montana Women Writers: A Geography of the Heart (seriously...this is an amazing book. I highly recommend it). Klink is a professor of graduate creative writing at the University of Montana-Missoula.

"A Billowy Sail" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting on linen panel
Having just returned from Newport, Rhode Island, with even more inspiration than the usual, I present to you a fun little miniature painting of three sailboats with their colorful jibs exposed, dancing in the breeze. Honestly, I am not a sailor of any sort -- I tend to get seasick! But I sure enjoyed watching the sailboats out in the water for one of the last weekends of the year -- and took a great number of photo references from which to work. It was a difficult painting session, however, as the canvas was so small -- but I think it was successful.

White Towel - Palette Knife Painting by Judy Mackey

8 x 6 inches, Oil on hardboard

The other day I painted on rough textured linen stretched canvas. My former art instructor, Francois Arenas, have me enough of the raw rough canvas to stretch my own canvas. I stretched it, prepared it, gessoed it, but hadn't used it these past years, it felt too precious to paint on. But when I did finally paint on it I didn't like the roughness as my palette knife plopped the paint on it. I actually prefer these gessoed hardboards, the way the knife glides on it. So, palette knife painters, what surface do you prefer?

Moonlight oil painting by BECKY JOY
6x6 oil Sky #20 Moonlight available on my website
for $110. includes display easel and free shipping in US
This little painting I did today after helping to roof my new studio. I didn't have time or the energy to paint the moon last night or the night before, but I did take notes on the colors. I love the moon when it first rises and has that peach color to it. The clouds are lit by the moon and have a warm green cast to them around the moon. I haven't gotten a lot of painting done with the studio work. Now that the roof is on we can take it a little easier. And now it can rain. I thought I would post a photo of my studio at the moment. Below is the cramped quarters and mess that I am working in right now. It makes it difficult to paint anything large.
My desk, which you cann't see very well under all the stuff, including dust is one of my favorite found pieces that I own. It was a desk that a contractor threw out. It had stains, cement, cigarette burns, etc on it. I loved the style, a 60's desk. I sanded it all down and found out that it was solid mahogany. I put many layers of tongue oil on it and repaired one of the drawer handles by rebuilding it. I couldn't find any to match or the same size with the holes matching up on the desk. So I rebuilt it and painted a faux finish to look like the wood, then put the tongue oil on it too. Turned out great. I love those kinds of finds.Again, I hope to paint more tomorrow. Talk to you later.

HOLLYWOOD AT DAWN BY TOM BROWN
“GOOD MORNING, HOLLYWOOD”
5x7 inch original oil painting
by Tom Brown
The city awakens. Golden sunlight streams through billowing clouds. Palm trees wave gently in the morning breeze. Whose dreams of Hollywood fame will come true today?
I painted this from atop a high hill overlooking the city as first light washed across the city. For this painting I used a palette knife and the small pochade shown in my YouTube videos.
The pochade is completely self-contained and it simplified the process tremendously. I simply opened it and I was ready to paint. When I finished this painting I closed the lid with the painting securely held inside. And I was off to paint at another location . . . . .
This painting is on eBay with a VERY low starting bid for a short time. Click here to bid:

This painting is on eBay with a VERY low starting bid for a short time. Click here to bid:

HOLLYWOOD AT DAWN BY TOM BROWN
I am an American artist and I host a TV Art Instruction show where I teach studio oil painting and plein air painting in the Impressionist style.
I also teach other artists how to paint through oil painting workshops and art instruction CDs and DVDs.
My Impressionist plein air landscapes, still life compositions, portraits and figure paintings have been represented through prominent galleries for more than 20 years.
My paintings are in corporate collections including the City of Irvine, Sears, Standard Oil, and Coca Cola. My work is often seen in leading art publications like Southwest Art, Art & Antiques, American Art Review, American Art Collector, Art Calendar and others.
I am a former president of the Orange Art Association and past member of the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association and Southern California Plein Air Painters Association.
On my Daily Painter blog I offer affordable small original oil paintings to introduce my work to new and ongoing collectors. Much of my work these days is done on a private commission basis, and I welcome inquiries.
Thanks for looking.

"As the Sun Slips Behind the Ocean" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting on linen panel
If you've been following this art blog at all, I'm sure that you're well aware that we were recently visiting friends and relatives on the East Coast -- remember, we are usually landlocked in colorful Colorado -- Rhode Island and Pennsylvania were our temporary homes!
You probably also know that I cannot resist a sunset -- and especially one slipping away behind the Atlantic Ocean! So...here you go...just for you -- I sure hope you enjoy the colors of the sky, the hint of the last bit of sun, and a few sparkles on the water.
I've applied new pricing to my oil paintings, as most are not in galleries. This one, 8"x10" oil painting, palette knife on linen panel, is an absolute steal at $100 which includes s/h in North America. Just write me, I'll send you a Paypal invoice, and we'll got from there -- or feel free to write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information. Thanks so much for looking!

"Life is an onion and one peels it crying."--French proverb
Escapism. Defying time. Serenity and solace. Reliving treasured moments...the reasons I paint and make artwork. The creative acts are surely the most pleasant and yet difficult of all. Color and form are special friends. The challenge of perfecting artwork is monumental and exhilarating. This effort has grown to be both friend and family, which are the two most important aspects of my life. Judaica is my most challenging art...Hebrew and I don't always get along!
I'm mainly self-taught in art, relying on intuition, experimentation, benefiting from studying books, visiting museums, galleries and learning painting techniques from other artist friends/relatives. I've studied pastels with Clive Tyler, taken oils with Daniel Edmondson. My newest medium is painting on glass, inspired by an Italian master, bringing this art technique home and applying my own topics. My oils are mainly with palette knife.
This art style might be called "abstract realism", an oxymoron in its own right. Favorite contemporary artists include Cruciani, L Horowitz, Berberian, S Stork, C Tyler, D Edmondson.

I was born in Essex, England in 1944 and emigrated to Canada in 1957, residing first in Toronto and moving to Calgary in 1960. Now residing in Kelowna, British Columbia. Early influences on my style and career included J M W Turner and John Constable.
Later, the work of the late French minimalist Nicolas De Stael played the most significant role in my development as a painter. My landscape paintings are abstracted to simple forms relying on texture and tonal variations to create drama.
My still-life and flower works are painted with a palette knife and sometimes brush in acrylic either on canvass or panels. I build the shapes of the abstracted flowers, not being at all concerned with the type of flower, by layering subtle changes in tone and colour value, creating my own style of still-life. Most of my landscapes are painted with a brush although occasionally a palette knife may be used for effect.
My paintings hang in corporate and private collections across the world. I've had a number of solo and group exhibitions in Canada and the USA.
I'm a member of Landscape Artists International and the International Society of Acrylic Painters.

is an award winning artist who paints exclusively with a palette knife. She holds a fine art degree and has worked as a professional graphic designer for many years. She began painting in oil again after taking a palette knife workshop through the Copley Society of Art in Boston and was immediately hooked. The thick, painterly, yet highly detailed strokes of color are trademarks of her style.

Texas Bluebonnets oil painting by Niki Gulley
Texas Bluebonnets oil painting by Niki Gulley
7" x 5"
I created this bluebonnet painting with palette knife and extremely thick oil paint,
up to 1/4" in thickness. I love the texture and how these wildflowers leap off the canvas and really come to life.

Niki Gulley’s passion for painting began in grade school when she had to draw something as mundane as shoes for art class, and loved every minute of it. Her parents enrolled her in private lessons and she was hooked. Following her childhood in Chicago, Niki relocated to Dallas to pursue an art major at SMU. Since she disliked the freezing Illinois winters, Dallas seemed like the place to stay after graduating.
Next, Gulley entered the world of advertising, working as art director for a local magazine. After a few years passed, Niki felt like something was missing. So she started painting again every free moment. This is what she had been missing and she began to feel fulfilled again.
It is from this feeling of true joy that Niki translates onto canvas. She seeks to capture the beauty of our landscape, utilizing vivid colors in oil paint and pastels to convey a particular mood. Gulley invites you to reconnect with nature and escape day-to-day responsibilities along with her in these creations.

$110/ includes shipping in US and a display easel.
I didn't post yesterday. I was so busy with the studio and packing paintings for a new gallery that I will be showing in, the Link Gallery in Cheyenne, WY.
Today I worked on the studio remodel all day. We have 1/2 the rafters up for a new roof. We are incorporating a storage shed into the studio to make it larger and to give me a storage area. The walls and cement floor were good, but the roof, OMG. It leaked like a sieve. So we dismantled the roof today and started on the new one. The weather is supposed to be good for the next week. It rained yesterday and this morning. Now we should be safe to work on this part of the project. The sunsets and rain clouds have been magnificent this week. So is the moon that is visible from the sliding door of my studio right now.
I hope that I will be able to work on some larger paintings this weekend. I have plenty of small ones, but the larger ones I still need to work on.
I'll try to take a photo of what is going on with the studio and post it tomorrow.
Talk to you all later,

"Pocono Leaves" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting on linen panel
Another painting inspired by our trip back East. We drove through the Pocono Mountains at the height of the autumn colors -- and this is one of my impressions of those days. More fun with painting!
I, like everyone else, have been hit hard by the economic times and have been considering the following decision for a while now. Since almost no galleries who represent me carry my oil paintings, I have determined that I will discount the cost of my oil paintings carried by Daily Painters and other such art blogs -- the list below indicates sizes and costs which I will institute, starting with this painting. Any paintings 11"x14" and under in size will be shipped without additional shipping and handling charges in North America; over 11"x14" will have an added fee, determined at the time of sale. I hope this helps you collect worthy art as I don't feel it is fair to not provide reasonable costs and stop artists and collectors from connecting with one another, even during trying financial times. As always, Paypal is preferred and I can send an invoice.
4"x6" painting -- $36.00
5"x7" painting --$52.50
8"x10" painting -- $100.00
9"x12" painting -- $135.00
11"x14" painting -- $175.00
s&h applied in addition to costs for below sizes
12"x16" painting -- $215.00
14"x18" painting -- $285.00
16"x20" painting -- $360.00
Larger painting prices to be determined! Please note, all of these artworks
are sold UNFRAMED.
I hope you appreciate my new oil painting policy. Please let me know if you have comments or questions at KarlaNolan@gmail.com. This also applies to the paintings that are not yet sold found on my website (listed below). Thanks for looking!

'We Are The Branches' By Irish Artist Maria Noonan-McDermott
Maria Noonan-McDermott's work is highly original; her creative and imaginative one-off pieces ensure her reputation for innovative and inspiring artwork that is eminently collectable and truly unique.
Maria currently works from her studio in Co. Leitrim. She has been painting for over twenty years and is well established and respected having contributed successfully to many gallery and public exhibitions throughout her career.
Her work, she says,
"...is about searching for the ultimate statement through colour and form, giving her paintings a voicebox for the inner soul we all possess, spiritual and mysterious."
Her style is distinctly recognisable as she paints with knife, confidently applying layer upon layer, enhancing the quality of light and movement and allowing the texture of the paint to play a key role in the structure of her work.
On show her paintings demand attention, grip the imagination and reward the curiosity of our senses.

winter afternoon sunset and barn scene by BECKY JOY
This 6x6 oil is sky #17 available on my website for $110.
which includes shipping in the US and a small black wrought
iron display easel.
This is a winter scene from Oregon. The only warmth was in the sky at late afternoon. I like the peach color against the different blues and violets. I used the palette knife on the buildings, trees, sky and the bushes in front. I usually use the palette knife towards the end of the painting putting the basics in with the brush.
Today I got the news from FASO that one of my paintings was voted in the top 15% for the FAV 15%. That is really a nice feeling to be voted on my work by other artists. To view the paintings that were picked, click here.
I also got the news earlier that I will be in the Mountain Oyster show in Tucson. One of my plein air pieces from Lake Pleasant.
I haven't gotten a whole lot of painting done with the studio remodel. The studio is coming along great. Today I got a sliding door in that will open to the patio. I like the idea of being able to keep the door open on a nice day. It will be a great way to keep the fumes down. I would also like to put in an exhaust fan. I'll take some photos a little later so that you can see my new reworked studio. The electrical and new lights will be next, then the roof.
Talk to you all later.
