"Green Apple and Daffodils" by Lynda Cookson
Here's a fun painting created fairly quickly for a demo a few years ago. It always represents a bit of fun for me ... plus the anticipation of biting into that apple!

Solace, by New York artist, Celeste Plowden
Peaceful blues! Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas, sides painted to conform to artwork, UV varnish, wired and ready to hang. Available at Saatchi Art
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.

Color of Summer by Kay Wyne
Color of Summer
10" x 20" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel
Contemporary Landscape Painting
Pushing, pulling, scraping and laying in the oils with my palette knife gives this painting an impressionistic feeling. I started with an underpainting using a brush. After looking at it for a couple of months on my easel, I decided I needed to take a different approach and repainted it with the knife. I am much more satisfied with the outcome, especially with the color relationships. The burnt orange contrasting against the violet and greens makes it pop. The colors of the landscape remind me of how a hot and dry summer day feels....therefore, the name, "Color of Summer". I can't wait to put a frame on this panel once I varnish it. This painting will be for sale once it dries. Contact Kay for purchasing info. Thanks, Kay

New "Blue Tangle" Textured Bluebonnet Oil Painting by Niki Gulley
"Blue Tangle" ©2015 Niki Gulley
9" x 12"" textured mixed media on wrap around canvas
These Texas bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush are loaded with texture, color and movement. Created with palette knife and oil paint, they practically leap of the canvas.
To see more of my palette knife contemporary landscape paintings, visit nikigulley.com.
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.
Lost by Kay Wyne
Lost
12" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Palette Knife Painting
Floral Landscape
I named this painting "Lost" because I was totally lost in it with my palette knife. Lost in a good way, just letting my mixing skills kick in, and allowing the painting to happen. The colors are harmonious because I mixed my piles of luscious oils as I worked through the canvas. My palette was covered with greens, lavenders, greys and corals. This landscape painting couldn't get much more abstract, as I was focused on the colors and how they looked in relationship to each other. There is plenty of texture and paint built up on the canvas, creating more interest for the viewer. This painting is drying at the studio. Contact ME with any comments or questions. Thanks for looking....Kay

"Henry" by Lynda Cookson
"Henry" has long been a favourite of mine ... possibly because he has huge attitude and extreme vibrance. I got a real kick out of painting him. He's presently in Gallery 1608 in Bushmills, Northern Ireland.

The garden center is now owned and operated by 3rd and 4th generation family members.

Figurative Painting, Central Park Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "Another Thinker", 6x8" Oil
Last year, my daughter, grandson and I spent a few days in Manhattan. After a long, hard day of exploring, we ended up in Central Park. Central Park is such a welcoming oasis in the middle of all the heat, noise, hustle and bustle.
My daughter climbed up on a rock to sit and rest, She was deep in thought when I snapped her photo. I could not help but be reminded of another famous "thinker".
We had a great time in Manhattan, especially by grandson. It was his first time in the BIG city!

Original oil painting Come Sail Away with Me by Karen Tarlton
~ The sea inspires me, yes..... “When I’m old and gray, I want to have a house by the sea. And paint. With a lot of wonderful chums, good music, and booze around. And a damn good kitchen to cook in.” ~ Ava Gardner
and I agree :)

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Blue Paintings
I like to post on facebook, as I am sure many of you do too. I started a group called "Online Artists" to give self-representing artists another place to post their work. Every week I "suggest" a theme for the artists to follow, although it is not mandatory by any means. A few times, the theme has been a specific color, which I really enjoyed. So today, I decided to post "blue" paintings for you here.
I really had fun with this textured piece!
What is it about oriental culture that is so fascinating?
A view of the intracoastal waterway in Grant Florida. This is close to my home.
A view of our neighbor's farm in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. One of the most beautiful scenes on earth, I have painted this farm dozens of times.
The mountains are absolutely gorgeous when the sun comes up and burns off the morning mist.
A Florida sky. The coastal areas are often filled with fluffy clouds as the afternoon hot air from the west collides with the cool sea breezes from the east.
I love to set objects on my windowsill in front of these cool shadows from a palm tree.
From my antique bottle collection.
I had to put a seascape in here somewhere!
Well, that's it for celebrating blue today! I hope you will join us on facebook. Just go to your account and search for Online Artists. We would love to have you join in the fun.
I hope you have BLUE skies today.

Rail Crossing by Janice Tingum - original oil painting
Rail Crossing
by Janice Tingum
8" x 8
Oil on 7/8" deep cradled panel
The rural landscape often reminds me of a patchwork quilt, stitched together by country roads, tree shelterbelts, and the occasional railroad line. I like using a palette knife because of the rich texture and color it produces on the smooth panel. This original oil painting is done in an American impressionistic style and is available in my Etsy shop.

ORIGINAL 30" X 30" OIL PAINTING BY SARAH MORLEY FOR SALE
Here is another of the paintings done for my 'New Year's Challenge' which I am still doing, 6 months later! Anyone who read my earlier blog about this may remember that this was my challenge to myself to paint something with figures/portrait as every other painting. This challenge is taking an interesting turn - I started off finding the figures and portraits quite hard work, and the landscapes or seascapes in between as being a rest - but, here's the thing, the figures are getting easier and I am less interested in the landscapes!
This painting is another from my series of paintings of Piccadilly Station, Manchester, England. But this is probably the sort of scene you could see in many stations now - always someone checking a phone or a tablet while waiting to do the commute! The painting is called 'Piccadilly Station, No 2'.
The painting is totally with a knife, although I did underpaint with a brush initially.
The painting is for sale for $550 inclusive of shipping. For more details please contact me through my website - www.sarahmorleyfineart.com, call me on 447946432818 ( outside UK) or 07946432818.
I am an artist, based in Stockport, UK, where I am part of the communal art studios in an old cotton mill, Vernon Mill. Art is my second career. I started it over 30 years ago when I started a Fine Art degree which I was really not ready for.
I returned to my painting over 6 years ago. I paint mainly landscapes and seascapes in a semi abstract way that I hope invokes the feeling of 'being there'. Texture, light, colour and energy are important in my painting.
daily painter, sunflower painting, tulip painting,
If you're having a grey rainy day today, this small seascape painting might help you get through the day.
It's a small view of the ocean from east central Florida. I love the repetitive action of the waves and could watch them roll into the beach for hours at a time.
It works well, just sitting on a shelf with a seashell or another reminder of your last trip to the tropics.
The scene extends around the sides of the canvas, so no framing is required.
I took a trip to Jetty Park at Pt. Canaveral the other day.
That's where all the cruise ships dock and head out to the islands. The weather was perfect, mid 70's, and I came home feeling like I had been on a little mini vacation. Maybe this small seascape painting will help you to feel that way too.
