IGOR ON THE BED by Celeste Plowden 8x10 acrylic on canvas panel
I learned the art of acrylic and pastel painting through private instruction, after having spent my career as a designer of printed fabrics in the New York market place. I am a graduate of the College of Design, Art and Architecture at the University of Cincinnati, with a major in the History of Art, 1977. Later, I studied printed textile design at Parsons School of Design, in New York. Immediately afterward, I began free lance work for several design studios in the garment district of NYC, where I did re-coloration work for printed apparel fabrics, and sold my own designs through Bread and Butter Designs,also located in New York. In addition, during the 1980's and 1990's, I designed a number of needlecraft and stencil books for Dover Publications. Currently, I am working on a series of exotic birds and other animals done in acrylic paint, with a palette knife, for texture and brilliant color. I consider my paintings to be representational or impressionistic in nature, and I use fantasy colors because what I see often makes me feel these colors,and what would make an interesting composition, rather than using realistic colors.

"Sparkly Western Sunset" by Karla Nolan, unframed miniature palette knife oil painting
I
painted this sunset a while back with my handy palette knives and
couldn't decide on a name for it. Looking at it in different lighting
situations, I kept notice how sparkly it was, a high gloss varnish added
to the colors greatly. Thus the name was born: "Sparkly Western
Sunset" -- because that is what it is, full of life and color! A sweet
miniature...

"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.

Tropical Landscape Painting | Small Oil Painting | Flower Painting | Daily Painting | Bougainvillea Garden by Carol Schiff \ 6x8" Oil | SOLD
One of the advantages of living in Florida is the profusion of blooming flowers available year round. Bougainvillea is found everywhere in the state in several vibrant colors.
 |
| SOLD |
A native to coastal Brazil, the bougainvillea was discovered in 1768 in Rio de Janeiro by French naturalist Dr. Philibert Commerçon (also sometimes spelled Commerson). The plant is named after his close friend and ship’s admiral Louis-Antoine de Bougainville, who commanded the ship La Boudeuse that sailed around the world between 1766-1769, and in which Commerçon was a passenger.
It certainly speaks to tropical Florida, although it is covered in thorns.
This scene was requested by a client who longs for her memories of a Key West vacation.

36" x 36" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Floral Palette Knife Painting
My inspiration for this painting was a beautiful arrangement that son in-law Wes gave to daughter Lindsay. I asked what the occasion was......."just because" was the answer that I got. I used thick strokes with the palette knife.
Here is a close-up of the painting....the paint is built up on the canvas. Contact Pam Massar at The Dutch Art Gallery Dallas TX if you are interested in purchasing. Thanks for viewing this art blog. Have a good day...KayFriday, February 27, 2015

Texas Hill Country Bluebonnet Oil Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley
"Traveling Together," Texas Hill Country ©2015 Niki Gulley
Inspired by a trip to the hill country, I wanted you feel the warmth and beauty on this perfect spring day while out for a leisurely drive among the bluebonnets and Texas wildflowers. Painted with thick oil paint and palette knives to achieve extreme texture, the resulting image comes to life and is loaded with color, movement and energy.
Just sold through the Good Art Company Gallery in Fredericksburg, TX (http://www.goodartcompany.com/gac/.)
To see more of my contemporary landscape paintings, please visit nikigulley.com.
For more information on my bluebonnet paintings and Texas landscapes, please e-mail Niki Gulley.
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.

As I took my morning walks, I marveled at the beauty of the area. Even the road I walked seemed special surrounded in green and little wildflowers. The trees surrounding the road formed a canopy with strong light shining through. I couldn't wait to paint the scene!
It is painted on 6x6x1.5" gallery wrap canvases with the sides painted black. No framing costs necessary!
I had such fun painting this small landscape painting....can you tell? I have a companion piece too! You can see it here:

GIRL SLEEPING AT STARBUCKS by TOM BROWN
Apparently too much coffee doesn’t keep some people
awake. I happened to have my paint box in the car, and when this girl fell
asleep at a an outdoor coffee shop I took the opportunity to capture the moment
in paint. I’ve done this before, and my wife captured THAT moment in a video
clip. You can see it on YouTube HERE. So stay alert. You never know when someone
might paint you!

Current Contest is Claude Monet http://www.cfai.co/#!artist-showdown/chic
"Art and music are to my soul, as food and water are to my body. I believe that they are two of God's most precious gifts to His children. As the author and giver of creativity, through these gifts, He has given us a portion of Himself. He created the very first canvas, magnificently painted it, and brought it to life" I am a full time artist, dividing my time between painting and teaching in my Colorado studio. Having painted on most every surface imaginable, at this time I work primarily on canvas, board, and paper. Though my style remains quite diverse, I believe I have the heart of an Abstract Expressionist, or even more accurately, an Action Expressionist, as I am most definitely an "action painter". Each painting is a journey , dictated by primarily by my current thoughts and emotions, be they happy, sad, peaceful or frenzied.It is a mysterious relationship, and is thrilling when the painting finally reveals itself, and our private journey becomes a story to share.
Flutter by Kay Wyne
Flutter
24" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Abstract Palette Knife Painting
Red dragonflies are all over the gardens at the Dallas Arboretum. I worked off of a photograph taken by friend Mark Malone. It was an amazing photo, and I went abstract with it. I exaggerated the colors, and implied that the dragonfly was fluttering over some flowers. The oils were applied with a palette knife so there is plenty of texture on the canvas. Sides of the canvas are painted, so framing is optional. Contact Kay for purchasing info. Thanks, Kay

"Rocky Mountain Dusk" by Karla Nolan unframed palette knife oil painting

what it is like to live near the mountains, just look at this painting, I
think you'll get the hang of it! It really can be dramatic as the last
rays of the sun appear over the forthcoming mountain silhouette.

Pink Azalea Cottage and My Great-Grandmother's House - Flower Painting Classes and Workshops by Nancy Medina Art
Pink Azalea Cottage
by Nancy Medina
14X14
Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Pink Azalea Cottage is a scene that might seem familiar to anyone who has grown up in East Texas and seen the azaleas in full bloom. The cottage is a memory of my great-grandmother's home in Palestine, Texas, where she raised a family and had a garden and did all the cooking and housekeeping even though she was blind. Nanny used to be able to tell which plants were which by smell, touch and taste. My mother spent every summer of her childhood with her grandmother. Mom said she would take the train down from St. Louis to Palestine after school let out for the year, and the summers she spent in Palestine were the happiest times for her growing up.
If you walk down the path and open the back porch screen door, you'll enter Nanny's big kitchen, with the formica table. Beyond the kitchen, through a large arched doorway, you will find her formal living room, with a collection of plates from around the world along the walls, and her favorite rocker next to the radio just under the windows by the cuckoo clock. This is where Nanny spent every afternoon listening to her favorite gospel show. I imagine there were many, many days my mother was in her lap, being rocked to sleep, with the sound of birds outside the open screen windows, the clock chiming the hour and half hour, and the sound of the voice on the radio. What a dream come true it would be to be able to travel back in time and see this tableau, and my mother's golden curls, as she lay sleeping in her grandmother's arms.

Daily Painting on Sale, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painter, "Apple on the Tree", Carol Schiff artist, 6x8" Original oil
I never know what genre a painting like this falls into. Is it a landscape? Is it a still life? I think it may be a landscape because it has not been "arranged". Nevertheless, it is on sale today.
This apple is from my favorite orchard in North Carolina, just outside of Waynesville. Most of the year it is very quite there, but in the fall, it is the place to be. The orchard also has a bakery and long, long lines exist all day, every day. I have stood in line many times myself to buy their delicious apple cider donuts or cakes, fritters and pies.
Now for the deal of the day.....Purchase at the link above and you will be charged $94.95 and shipping. You must write ART SALE on the order to receive the discount. As soon as I receive your payment, I will return a credit of $20.00 to your credit card or PayPal account.

Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Seascape, "Pacific Blue" 4x12" SOLD
Most of my seascapes are from the Atlantic, or the Caribbean, but today I am visiting the Pacific.
My reference photo was taken a few years ago on a trip to California with my daughter and granddaughter. We were in San Francisco most of the trip, but one afternoon we drove south to Half Moon Bay.
For us east coasters, the Pacific was an untamed beast, quite different from our usually gentle Atlantic. Just that fact that we were peering down from a cliff and that the brave souls who ventured to the beach were all ON THE SHORE was foreign. Not that we do not have sunbathers on the shore, but there are ALWAYS bathers or surfers in the water, even on the coldest of days.
I decided to use a palette knife on this scene to help capture the power and texture.

ABSTRACT REALISM SUNSET, BIRDS by TOM BROWN
I love creating dramatic paintings like this. This
painting borders on being a pure abstract, but in fact it is actually based on
a realistic subject: a flight of birds crossing the sky where the sun is
setting.
This painting is about the paint itself, as much as the
apparent subject. In fact you may need to know the subject before you recognize
it. But the painting still makes a dynamic and powerful abstract in its own
right.
I hope this one moves your spirit the way it moved me
while I painted it. Enjoy!
