"Red Poppy" by Lynda Cookson

I just put this one up today. The Poppy Collection I did a couple of years ago, whilst working towards a commission painting, remain one of my favourites. They usually pop up where their scarlet petals show up best, in fields of Lavender or Corn. This is what google has to say about what Poppies represent:

"In the spring of 1915, shortly after losing a friend in Ypres, a Canadian doctor, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae was inspired by the sight of poppies growing in battle-scarred fields to write a now famous poem called 'In Flanders Fields'. After the First World War, the poppy was adopted as a symbol ofRemembrance."

This painting is simply called "Red Poppy" and is a palette knife painting (what else if from me! LOL) on paper, with a white matt board. It's set against a creamy yellow background as if waving around happily in a field of corn.

The unframed measurements are Width 12" by Height 11" (or Width 30 cm x Height 28 cms)

"Sunflower Wedding" by Lynda Cookson

This was a fun painting completed for a couple getting married. She carried a bouquet of Sunflowers, the dragon represents the unit he was with in the army, they had a Jack Russell terrier and he worked as a tree doctor ... so, dog, trees, dragon and Sunflower! He also plays the flute. I loved painting it and they loved the painting!

A Shoulder to Lean On by Judy Mackey

"Shoulder"

14" 11x  1.5", Oil on Stretched Canvas

It doesn't matter what the couple is looking at, I wanted to capture the moment I would be putting my head on someone's shoulder  This painting is a little abstract and simple.  I put a touch of yellow in the center/off center - could that be the rising sun, the setting sun or could that just be an allegory for something.

I posted this painting on Facebook and it was fun to read what some thought the two were looking at. 

This painting, for me, came about when I had exchanged some messages with a friend about some of the speed bumps we'd been tripping over.  And we told each other that we had a shoulder for each other to use whenever.

Fortunately for me, this painting sold almost immediately after I posted it on one of my online galleries.

Feet in Bed Painting by Texas Artist, Judy Mackey

"My Side, Your Side"

6" x  6", Oil on Board

A few years ago I painted feet and most of them sold fairly quickly.  Not that I have feet fetish but I think a painting that is abstract and minimal in nature are sometimes full of story lines. 


I painted this last Summer but never posted it anywhere.  I was surprised and pleased that when I listed this painting on the online art gallery, it sold before the day was done and I received requests for more.

I have another one drying on the easel.  I'll be posting it soon.

btw my commissioner of the sail boat was pleased with her painting so *phew* !  I am relieved.

Tango Dancers by Judy Mackey

"El Bailar"

9" x  12", Oil on Canvas
Available for purchase.

I wanted to try painting Tango dancers for a while.  But I painted this from the "leg"/"feet" aspect.  I like to sometimes guess what the art is about, I don't want to know the whole story, I want to fill in the blanks.

 

I heard a while back when the high definition T.V.'s were coming out that watcing HD actually made the brain get bored.  Because of all the fine details the eye sees, the brain doesn't need to "fill in the blanks" and so while seeing all the details might be exciting, the brain sometimes doesn't want to follow along in the story.  Because I'm of an age that remember B&W movies and T.V shows, I wonder then if that is why I like the old movies?

 

While we watch Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers dance in a classic movie, we don't know if she's wearing red, or blue...but it captures our attention and we watch their ever footsteps

 

I must apologize with this photo of my painting, however.  The problem with this photo is that the painting is dark and I wasn't able to take a good photo without the glare.    The areas that look like white is very subtle in the original painting.  I'll have to re-take this photo.
