Blue Surf, 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.

Daily Oil Painting, Birds, "Waverunners" 12x12" SOLD
These birds were my constant companions on early morning walks on the beaches of Sanibel.
I used both brush and palette knife on this one. I like the contrast of texture achieved in this way.
The birds ignored me and my camera, knowing they could move much faster then I can.

Daily Painting, "Waves", Seascape, 6x8", Oil, SOLD
I enjoy trying to capture the feel of the surf rushing to shore on my canvas.
The ocean seems to have a different character and color each time I visit. This is the east coast of Florida, while California is much more rugged and has a deep rich blue hue.
I like to use my daily paintings very informally in my home. Just prop them up where ever the mood strikes! No frame necessary!

Daily Painting, "Atlantic Seascape", 8x10" SOLD
Who does not love the sea? The beach is a place of healing and joy. The salt cleanses us and the sun embraces us in its warmth. The ocean heals the heart, mind, and soul.
I have two loves, the sea and the mountains. They both have their own beauty and are ever changing. They both bring peace to my life.

I hope you find your own little slice of heaven this weekend.

ANOTHER SEASCAPE, OIL, 5X7
I really enjoy doing these small seascapes. Fortunately, with the Atlantic nearby, I have a never ending source of new compositions. This one, I call impressionistic, bordering on abstract. What fun!Purchase here

"Maui Beach: Surf and Clouds" by Karla Nolan, unframed miniature palette knife oil painting
My husband and I traveled to Hawaii some years ago and stayed on the island of Maui. There is just nothing in the world more soothing to me than the pounding of the ocean as the waves crash heading to the shore. When I painted this miniature, my travel memories kicked in and there I was, lying on the beach once again, blissed out by the incredible sounds. Ah, gotta love the ocean! (I am, of course, landlocked in my own paradise, but painting revives the good memories...)

"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.

try, onto glass, no less!

"Sand and Surf at Second Beach (RI)" by Karla Nolan
I
have a dear friend who lives in Middletown, Rhode Island, right next to
Newport. She is so fortunate to have a house right around the corner
from this particular beach, "Second Beach". Am I envious? You bet I
am! Every day she can go to the beach and listen to the pounding surf,
view the changing skies, the ebb and flow of the waters. There are
fewer experiences more soothing than the sound and feel of the ocean. I
think I'm due for another visit!

Beach Frolic by Roxanne Steed
Available for purchase from my website.
8"x10" oil on linen mounted on archival panel
I'm enjoying my visit with my artist friend Norma Wilson, down here in Virginia Beach. While it's still too cold to get in the ocean without a wetsuit, I'm remembering days of summer past with children playing in the surf and sand. That's just one of the things I miss from when I lived down here. Thank you to Claudia Finn for the great photo reference who joined us painting today!

SURF, TOM BROWN PLEIN AIR
"DOING THE WAVE"
7x5 INCH ORIGINAL PLEIN AIR
PALETTE KNIFE PAINTING
BY TOM BROWN
I was recently asked what kind of music I listen to while painting. While doing this wave my “music” was the roar and crash of ocean surf, the cries of gulls circling overhead and the sounds of breeze among palm fronds.
I like to stay totally focused while painting rather than just playing mindless background noise. The sounds of nature are my music at times like this. They help me connect with what I’m painting.
But when I listen to music, I really listen. Maybe chill with a good glass of wine and become totally immersed in it. Among my favorites are some you may not expect, like Pete Fountain, Leon Redbone, Scott Joplin’s ragtime piano and Iz (Israel Ka’ano’I Kamakawiwo’ole). If any of these are new to you, check them out. You may have a treat in store.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day. And if you’d like this painting for your home let me know: tombrownstudio@cox.net
