"Glebe House, Co Donegal, Ireland" by Lynda Cookson

I was recently reminded of a little trio I painted whilst traveling in Ireland a few years ago. Glebe House in Co Donegal which stands at the edge of Lough Gartan was the inspiration for these minis.

"Red Sail" by Lynda Cookson

Last day of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge.

Thank you so much everyone out there for putting up with me on a daily basis this past month ... you lovely comments and patience have been very appreciated. I know that if I hadn't put it out there for public viewing every day, I wouldn't have learned nearly as much as I did.

Halfway through I felt quite drained with it but got past that and may even do it again on an annual basis. Who knows!

Painting no. 30 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

Vase painting assisted by palette knife by Lynda Cookson

Although the main technique for painting this vase was acrylic pouring, the method is most definitely (by me) assisted by my trusty palette knife which guides the paint into parts I would like it to reach.

This vase is still upside down on my apple cider vinegar bottle as I can't move it until it is at least touch dry.

"Petunia Pair" by Lynda Cookson

It's amazing how often a palette knife is picked up and used during the creation of mixed-tool paintings.

"Petunia Pair" - which is now being exhibited by The Gaslamp Gallery in Gorey, Co. Wexford, Ireland - is just such an example. The white background was spread with my favourite palette knife and bits and parts of the flowers were encouraged into place using that same palette knife ... and the other tools are a mystery! LOL Simply because I can't remember what I used!!

So often a painting is created while I'm in a sort of arty farty daze, instinctively using whatever medium or tool is necessary to create the final effect ... and, like a chef who doesn't use a recipe, it's hard to remember what was used, when someone asks at the end of the process!

You can access The Gaslamp Gallery website here: http://www.thegaslampgallery.com/
(You won't find my paintings up on the gallery at the moment as they are being held back for a Spring launching ... but they're there ... just ask!)

Blasted my painting mojo back into place this morning with a bit of vigour.

I absolutely LOVE abstract work ... it's exciting, unpredictable (love that bit!), constantly holds your attention and tickles your imagination with just the biggest feather! Plus more, but I'm too excited to think of the correct words right now.

Perhaps enthusiasm is the right word ... abstract can make my enthusiasm simply burst!

So lovely to be back painting.

Breaking Through by Lynda Cookson


"Breaking Through" ... I love this abstract. I can feel the sun, the warmth of that sun, a warm evening sky, the sea, and the white foam of the waves.

A residency at the restored stone cottage famine village of Cill Rialaig, near Ballinskelligs in Co Kerry, Ireland, was the inspiration for this acrylic on board. The strong winter wind whipped the foam from the top of the waves and blew it against the cliffs. That, together with the sense of all the ancient (and not so ancient) lives lived there created a very spiritual atmosphere. Absolutely wonderful weather and wonderful inspiration!

"Breaking Through" is for sale HERE ... or just click the image and you'll be taken through to the correct page where you'll find the price and the size of the painting.

WILDFLOWERS, ACRYLIC, 20X24, SOLD

This is definitely not my usual painting! A few years ago, I took a month long workshop with Fritz VanEeden. Fritz is a very well known and respected artist from Holland who has been living in our town at least part of the year. I was fortunate enough to work with him for over a month, 3 days a week, for 4-5 hours. Fritz is obsessed, and if he is awake, he must have a paintbrush in his hand! He is also a wonderful man. I do enjoy this type of painting, but I just couldn't get the hang of painting out of my head. So this is my one and only true abstract!

Now, my varnishing question got several replies, both here and on facebook, and the winner is......retouch varnish! I have run to my art supply store to grab a can and now feel much more confident in my technique. So, thank you all very much for your replies!
