Horse Paintings White Stallion Running by Texas Artist Laurie Pace
© G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace Graphics One Design 2013
Slowly coming to....
16 x 20 inches Oil on Canvas.
I began working on the head of the horse first and coming down the neck in this equine painting. I was not sure about the background colors, but decided to play them up rather than take them out. Normally I would be taking them out... I can feel the strength in the composition and for the third time painting in the past week, feel a strength in myself that has not been there in awhile.
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts. Psalm 55:8-9

"Contrasting Beauty" Abstract, Palette Knife, Impressionistic Painting of Lavender Fields by Janet Bludau
SOLD
Through my Northern California Gallery
Contrasting Beauty is a small 6" x 6" painting of the lavender fields in the Wine Country region of our state of California. I painted a small series of these oils and there are only a few left.
Bludauart@gmail.com
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.
Sept. 28th Registration Deadline for Paris Art Trek with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams
"Luminescent Radiance" ©2013 Niki Gulley
Two 48" x 24" canvases with one 48" x 30" canvas in the middle to form a 48" x 78" triptych
Textured oil painting on wrap around canvas
I decided it would be a fun challenge to create an extremely large painting, and I wanted the final piece to be very uplifting, colorful and full of energy. Opting for warm colors and working with extremely thick paint and palette knives, I chose this lily pond reference from our visit to Monet's Gardens in Giverny, France. The grounds were breathtaking and I could actually see his paintings come to life. I was drawn to the energetic flow and yet calming serenity in this view, and I positioned the water lilies and my paint strokes in a curving pattern to add to that mood. The morning light peeking through the distant foliage added to a sense of mystery and promise that I wanted to capture in paint, and share with you that feeling of hope.

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.

Beginnings of a new Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace
© G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace Graphics One Design 2013
Beginnings...
16 x 20 inches Oil on Canvas.
So I took the canvas and I created the background using Golden Acrylics. I just chose colors I felt spiritually as I painted and then tossed in the blues for contrast to the deep oranges. I debated on vertical or horizontal... and usually I would do this vertical but I felt the movement more in the horizontal.
Took up charcoal and sketched in the horse. If I was knifing I would begin moving paint on now with the knife, but I took up the brush... still on a break from knife for some pieces....see more tomorrow.
I often wonder if God ever changes 'THE PLAN' that He has for us?
I know we have a certain amount of freedom in choosing things to do in life and we certainly take 'THE PLAN" out another door pretty often. He probably lets us hang out there in some painful growing ways more than we would like. Not sure what it takes to fully grasp we truly need to let Him be in our lives all the time, not just in times of trouble.
That sounded like the "Let It Be' song from the Beatles.
Maybe we should just 'let it be' and let Him work.
your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.
When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought me joy. Psalm 94:18-19

I am pretty close to done. It is hanging around and I see maybe a sweep of gold in one other spot, but I feel satisfied that I captured what I was feeling in my mind and heart. Allowing His spirit to work through me again as I did this past weekend with Water's Edge.

Back to School Bliss by Pamela Blaies
Summer Reds

oil on linen
Click HERE to "like" this piece in an online painting competition!
I'm a little behind on posting my new artwork. With the "back to school" chaos going on, I have been creating, but there does not seem to be much time left over for photographing, displaying and blogging. Now that the first day of school has come and gone, I'm ready to get back to my daily routine. Here is a piece that I did a few weeks ago while on vacation in San Antonio. It has a loose, abstract-ish feel that I adore! I want to see more of this in all of my paintings.
I love to share my art and inspiration. Click HERE to sign up for my email newsletter and receive a free gift of postcards.
Upcoming Art Trek to Paris, France with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams
"Dancing on Water," Monet's Gardens, Giverny, France ©2013 Niki Gulley
36" x 60" textured oil painting
Sunlight sparkles across aqua blue water, diamonds of purple glitter the pond’s surface; water lilies lift their faces toward the sun and gently dance across the water.
Golden sunlight filters through the brambles and ferns, a touch of cardinal red peeks through purple and pink foliage while azure skies reflect in the water.

Blue Moon Wolf beginnings by Contemporary Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Blue Moon Wolf in Progress
16 x 16 inches Oil on Canvas.
So I had this 16 x 16 canvas in the studio... just hanging out from the lake. It was covered with some texturing with paper and lots of acrylic paint wiped here and there... and then just left to wait.
It has been waiting 12 months and I finally chose it for this painting. Watch the progress today and tomorrow as I take something pretty questionable and see where I can take it. Name Blue Moon Wolf after the Blue Moon from last night. Terry got me outside to see it. Unbelievable.
It is also unbelievable when you take your life, battered and bruised, and find the joy and life that is hidden deep inside of you. Why we choose to carry so much pain and so many burdens is beyond comprehension. Choose to find God's light inside of you. Take the best of who you are and nurture it to grow with Him.
at night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life. Psalm 42:8

When I returned home to Florida, I had enough barn photos to keep me busy through out the winter. This one is painted primarily with a palette knife. It has always been a favorite because of the strong values. Originally listed at $95.95, it is already a bargin at $65.00. But this is Wild and Wacky Wednesday, so if you purchase this painting today I WILL SEND YOU A $10.00 REFUND! Offer good only until midnight Aug. 27, 2013.

"Coastal Comfort" Original Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

Violets and Sunflowers is the newest daily painting in Flower Mound Studio, with a bit of purple added to give these golden colors some pop. The pug helpers are extremely exhausted tonight. They entertained multiple guests today, who stopped by to pick up paintings and say hello. Howard in particular considers himself the official greeter, and so his duties were most exhausting. I've posted a video of Howard getting a bit of beauty rest on my art blog today. Break out the pupcorn!
