Happy Anniversary to Me! by Pamela Blaies

Polished Silver Shine

Today is my wedding anniversary of 16 years! My sweetheart is a great husband and father. Without his support, I would never be able to survive this crazy artist life! I'm thankful for him every day.

Here is a brand new painting I just finished yesterday. I enjoyed the challenge of creating atmosphere around the pitcher to make the freshly polished silver pitcher shine right off the canvas.

Happy Homecoming by Pamela Blaies

Scarlet Ribbon

7" x 5"

Just returned home this week from a few weeks of travelling where I forced myself to relax and take a break from painting.  It was fun, but I had art withdrawals after painting daily for several months. I was happy to return home, get back in the studio and see that Scarlett Ribbon received a FAV15 jury award for June!  I really like the effect here of using my palette knife to create sharp contrast for highlights and some clean edges in conjunction with painterly brush strokes.  Check out the new August Entry HERE.
