"Shelly Sheep" by Lynda Cookson
Shelly the sheep was a daft animal who lived in the fields next to our house in Ireland. She would occasionally find a way to go AWOL from her field and come and stare me out through my studio window, slobbering on the glass. She had that wonderful, bossy stare that those black-faced sheep seem to know how to do so well!

"Spirit Flowers" by Lynda Cookson

You may often wonder why you see paintings other than palette knife paintings on this website. The members of the Palette Knife Painters group all paint using palette knives most of the time ... but to keep our work fresh, and to keep ourselves fresh, some of us also work in other mediums using other tools as well. I hope you enjoy all that you see.

Nightfall, 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.

"My Iris" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting
Okay, I'm jumping the gun on spring, I admit it. In fact,
it is snowing again as I type, heading into April. The green foliage
has emerged from the ground but the iris buds are not ready to peek out yet. I'm more than ready to see this iris plant once more. Enough with the snow!
"My Iris, 7"x5" palette knife oil painting on canvas panel, $45 includes s/h in continental U.S.,

"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.

Daily Abstract Painting, "Feeling My Way", 12x12"
Moving into a new area of work is always both exciting and frustrating. When I sit down to try an abstract, I feel like I am jumping off a cliff.
On this piece I used acrylics, oils and ink. I also included some cheesecloth for texture.
I am finding that although abstract looks very simple, and free, it requires much planning.
Have a great weekend and thank you for viewing.

Daily Abstract Painting, "Texture" 20x16", Mixed Media
If you follow my blog, you probably are aware of my interest in abstract art. Although I will continue with my impressionism paintings, I do have a growing desire to dabble in the abstract area.
This painting is a study of texture. I wanted to keep color to a minimum.
I used molding paste, acrylics and oil pastels to achieve the desired effects.
Thank you for viewing my daily paintings. Enjoy your weekend!

Small Abstract Perfect For A Gift, "Holiday Party Goers" by Janet Bludau
6" x 6"
Oil on Archival Panel
$75
Painting will arrive gift wrapped and includes an easel
Feel free to inquire about larger sizes, additional color palettes.
I can't remember a time that I didn't have an artistic pursuit but I found my true love with painting. Although I enjoy exploring with different techniques and materials, I primarily work in oils with an abstract style. Thick paint placed with a palette knife and strong geometric shapes are often found in my paintings.
After earning a degree in Business Admin/Marketing, I went on to several "Big Girl" corporate jobs and then owned and ran a design business in Hawaii, importing antiques from the mainland. My education was rounded out through the UC Berkeley Extension Art Program and the College of Marin Art and Design Program. I am fortunate to have had wonderful instructors as well as the insightful critiques of my fun, fellow painters.

My favorite subject and treasured darling,
caught in a moment of reflection.
Limiting my color palette was a big change
to my usual bright colors,
but it was fun nonetheless!
