"Blossoms" by Paula Formanek

What's on My Easel?? ...

Inspired by a beautiful apple tree in my backyard, I actually started this one last Spring but the thick 🎨paint🎨 took a long time to 'dry' ... I got back to it a few days ago, before I picked up the flu. Just looking at it makes me feel better ... I will call it 'Blossoms', thick oil with knife impasto on canvas, still a WIP ...

"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.

I painted the bulk of this painting last summer on location, en plein air on the beautiful hill at the historic site of Fort Henry, overlooking Navy Bay and the St. Lawrence River ... today I made a few touch ups and finally signed it.

Oil with knife on panel. I'm happy with this painting ... when I look at it, I'm there! ...

"Lilacs" by Judy Mackey

Drying on my easel today. 

I hadn't painted large in a long while so it felt good to just go free and paint with tons of paint. This canvas had been toned pink for another painting I had in mind but as I starred at the pink for months, actually, I decided - nope! It has to be a soft yellow/ochre...I think it sets the purples of the flowers really well.

Mini paintings inspired by the ocean at Galicia

I have two left from the collection of three mini paintings on mini easels inspired by the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Galicia in Spain. We were there three years ago and it remains fresh and alive and sunny in my heart!

This one, "Galicia No 1" can be found on my Wild Summers website ... or simply click any of the images or their titles to be taken through to the correct page.
