Warehouse Row, by NY artist Celeste Plowden
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.

Hidden Passageway by Marion Hedger
Hidden Passageway
30x40cm (12x16") Oil on stretched canvas
We have lots of beautiful old villages around us, and apart from a few small paintings see this post here I have not painted any of them. I have hundreds of photos but there is something about painting buildings, however picturesque that I find daunting.
I decided it is about time I changed that and challenged myself to paint some larger pieces. OK this one is not a large one but a step along the way.
About this painting
This is an alleyway in St Paul de Vence my local village. It leads up to a hotel at the top and they always line the ally with flower pots. You often see tourists arriving, and after driving through the narrow village streets they then have to take their cases up this passage and negotiate the steps.
This painting is not as textured as usual, I have reserved the texture for the highlighted area. I scraped the foreground walls several times to give the impression of the weathered wall texture. Tell me if it worked.

Houses of Parliament, London, by New York artist, Celeste Plowden
This impressionist painting depicts the historic buildings on the Thames River, London, England, of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben at dusk, the many Gothic spires reaching through the foggy sky to the pale moon. Somewhat abstract in the approach, and painted with a palette knife, for texture, this is my impression of a favorite cityscape.

Village Nook and Crannies oil painting by Marion Hedger
Village Nook and Crannies by Marion Hedger
6"x8" oil on box canvas
I
live in an area of France that is well known for its 'perched'
villages. They are built on top of the hills generally to protect the
population from the Moorish invaders. These villages have lots of small
streets, alcoves, alleyways and arches. It is easy to loose your sense
of direction with all the twists and turns. I always take loads of
photos but to date I have not painted any of them. So, starting with a
small box canvas, I decided it was about time LOL.I like the texture on the closest wall.

STREET, CITY, BUILDINGS, TOM BROWN CONTEMPORARY URBAN LANDSCAPE
After a refreshing rain the air is clean and sweet. The streets sparkle with reflected light. And a colorful glow lights up the sky. It’s as if life is giving us a fresh start.
That’s what I wanted to express in this painting, and I was pleased with the result. I hope you agree. This is a 6x6 inch original oil painting named “AFTER THE RAIN”

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.
