Tumbling 1 Original Oil Painting by Karen Balon
| Tumbling 1 from the Tumbling Series of 4 Each piece is 12"x12" Oil on Canvas For a closer view or to Purchase Click Here |
Technically, Tumbling 1 is actually the last of the 4 that I painted. If you compare the bodies of the 4 this one has a less "speckled" effect. I am not sure why? But somewhere deep inside the muse just guides me intuitively and that's the way it appears on the canvas. I can never paint something the same way twice which is fine as each "jellyfish" is different and has it's own unique personality.
Yes, I do refer to them as jellyfish though they started out as a vision in my head and have morphed over time. I actually see them to reside both in the Ocean and Deep Space. Though you are welcome to see them as something else and somewhere else.
You may ask, why did I name this one number 1? To me, it just feels like it's the One that is starting the tumbling and goes head over heels from there. What do you think?
I love it when you Share my work and posts :-)
Karen is an intuitive artist with an innate connection to the universe. Turning mediative visions into mesmerizing paintings.
Using only a palette knife and bold colors Karen’s painting are intended to draw you in and caressing you like a lover. Sensual and tantalizing, whimsical and teasing, with curves that ebb and flow. Her pieces have been described as cosmic, relaxing yet full of energy, intuitive, erotic, fantasy, peaceful, organic and come from deep within her. You can feel her interconnectedness to the universe, she captivates you with her use of emotion, color and swirling tendrils that are a big part of her and her artwork.
Karen’s goal is for the viewer to find their own unique interpretation in her paintings. To let the imagination run free for a while and connect with their inner most feelings.

Painting in Montepulciano with Niki Gulley
12x9 textured oil painting by Niki Gulley
Day 2, Montepulciano - Tuscany Art Trek
With a little more time before our afternoon winery tour, we decided to work on another painting. I chose this view of the tile rooftops below spreading out in front of the valley. I loved the puzzle piece feel of the buildings, zigzagging in all different directions, clinging to the steep drop below with the fields of crops also adding their criss crossing patterns to the jigsaw puzzle.
If you'd like to join us for next year's Art Trek to Venice in February, Greece in May, Tuscany in September or Cinque Terre / Lake Como in September, please visit NikiGulley.com/Artreks for more information.

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.

Abstract "She Likes To Match" Oil by California Janet Bludau
I can't remember a time that I didn't have an artistic pursuit but I found my true love with painting. Although I enjoy exploring with different techniques and materials, I primarily work in oils with an abstract style. Thick paint placed with a palette knife and strong geometric shapes are often found in my paintings.
After earning a degree in Business Admin/Marketing, I went on to several "Big Girl" corporate jobs and then owned and ran a design business in Hawaii, importing antiques from the mainland. My education was rounded out through the UC Berkeley Extension Art Program and the College of Marin Art and Design Program. I am fortunate to have had wonderful instructors as well as the insightful critiques of my fun, fellow painters.

First Snow of Winter

Inspiration:
As I sit here in South Bay in my shorts and flip flops, I think about the beautiful blizzards of winter.
I grew up near Lake Tahoe in Northern California where winter was a magical time!
We used to hike up Mt. Rose in the snow with the dogs, and I think it was on this quiet mountain,
in the pristine powder, that I learned to love the colors of winter and the beauty of the snow.

'Where Spirit Lies' By Irish Artist Maria Noonan-McDermott
'Where Spirit Lies', Oil, 60cm x 50cm
'Where Spirit Lies' is a new painting reflecting the beauty that surrounds me here in the North West of Ireland. It will form part of a collection for my solo exhibition, by the same title, in the Roundabout Gallery in County Sligo on October 4th.
http://www.voiceboxart.com
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.

Protected Water by Arlon Rosenoff
Protected Water
5" x 7"
Palette Knife on Panel
I paint primarily with a palette knife because it gives me the opportunity to interact with paint in a very tactile, expressionistic way.
Each viewer of my art is able to gain a strong sense my physical interaction with the paint, with every stroke and manipulation visible forever. The surfaces of my paintings are very telling, sometimes resembling a mosaic of palette knife strokes.
Being blessed with an unusual first name allows me to sign my work with my given name.

In late October and November Provence is a blaze of colour, with the orchards and vineyards turning from green to red and yellow. The tree in this painting stood at the edge of a roadside (or 'chemin') next to a vineyard. The leaves on the tree have completely turned to burnished gold, although the vines are just beginning to change colour. The reddish earth is extremely dry after the drought of summer.

Painting this was truly fun. The fresh air, the warmth of the sun, the sounds of the waves crashing against the beach. It’s a wonderful feeling to paint on location, and I think that comes through in the painting itself. This is “Keyhole Rock,” a landmark in Laguna Beach California. I once taught a Plein Air Workshop here, as I shared all my inside tips and techniques with other artists.
My new Plein Air Workshop begins in a couple of weeks on October 6. We’ll meet for 5 Saturday mornings from 9am to noon and paint on locations around Orange County. The classes are for all skill levels and I give loads of personal assistance.

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.
