Figurative Painting, Daily Painting, 16x20 Oil Painting, "One the Rocks"

Several years ago, when my children and grandchildren came for a visit, I took a photograph of my young granddaughter.  She was perched on a rock, next to the rapids of the Nantahala River, watching as kayakers and rafters made their way down the river.

Naturally, I wanted to paint the scene, which I did, as a 16x20" oil.  I gave this piece to my daughter and she cherishes it to this day.

I have had several requests for prints of this piece, and recently included it on my Etsy site as a canvas giclee' print.  Follow the link under the image for details.

I also want to show you the companion piece, same place, same story, featuring her brother, my oldest grandson.

One of my father's favorite stories was about the night he and my mother (who were just courting at the time) went to a dance hall in St. Louis to hear a live band play and dance the night away. My mother worked as a secretary for a law firm and still lived at home with my grandmother and grandfather. Every pay day she would go out and buy herself a new outfit. Read more...

Maroon 5 on My Mind by Pamela Blaies

Beautiful Goodbye

oil on linen

6" x 6"

It's been awhile since I painted the figure, but I made up for it this week, painting 4 small figurative pieces. The inspiration for this one came from a vintage photo I found from around the early 1950s. I loved how the light came from behind her, throwing her face into shadow. I wanted emotion to rule in this painting and so I made my strokes very expressive. Now I can't get the song "Beautiful Goodbye" by Maroon 5 out of my head!

In the Moment by Pamela Blaies

Dauntless Allure

oil on linen

6" x 6"

This painting was inspired by a hostess on the Riverwalk in San Antonio. We were having lunch at the restaurant she worked. Her expression and the way the light was hitting her just took my breath away. I snapped a few photos. I went and asked her if she minded that I took her photo for future artwork. She seemed flattered and happily consented, but her expression changed from self assured confidence to bashful awkwardness. Thank goodness I got the photos I wanted before she was aware of being photographed. It is exciting to capture a moment!

New Year, New Beginnings by Pamela Blaies

Red Velvet Cloak

18" x 24"

oil on linen

I used some new materials and tools on this one. This is my first painting ever on oil primed linen affixed to Gatorboard using brushes and the knife.  It is a little tricky using a knife on board.  Since I've always used the knife exclusively in my painting up until the past month or so, it still feels a bit awkward to work with a brush and I used the knife on the detail work of the face, hands, dress and highlights in the velvet. But I am enjoying the results of my experimentation with using brushes along with my palette knife.  New year is the perfect time for trying out new things.

New YouTube Video Painting Demo by Pamela Blaies

Mary's Lamb

20" x 16"

Oil on Canvas

In preparation for this painting, I made several pencil sketches, then a small color study.  I had planned to add more detail to the red barn wall in the background, but as I worked, keeping it loose seemed to feel right.  I gave it lots of texture and color, which work together to give this tender composition warmth and  vibrance.

Quiet Moments by Pamela Blaies

A Quiet Moment

Oil on Canvas

30" x 24"

After the small pencil sketches and study I worked on in preparation for this piece, it was fun to finally work big. This is almost a life-sized figure. The challenge was to keep it loose and put in only the necessary detail for what I wanted this piece to say. The reference photos were taken by my daughter in a corner of my room where the light was perfect for my mood all last week - mostly thoughtful and sometimes sad.  I can almost sense the melancholy of the moment in this painting.   There is a beauty in quiet reflection.

Spending Time Indoors by Pamela Blaies

Untitled Study

11.5" x 9"

With the yucky winter weather lately, I've had to make the most of my time indoors in the studio. Today, I just finished a study that I completed in around 45 min. It was good to focus only on color and composition and forget about attending to details. It is a self portrait, so I've had to work from photos, but I can paint some of the scene from life as it is in my room by a north-facing window. The desk was the one I had growing up and although it is a traditional piece, it still has the psychedelic foil paper lining I used in the 70's. After I started working this morning, I realized I needed to add a brush. I've had to use my imagination to make this brush look old fashioned - check out what I used as a prop...

Enjoying the Holidays by Pamela Blaies

Nap with Teddy study

13" x 20"

Oil on Canvas

I've had a great Christmas and am headed out the door to visit with my side of the family for more Christmas festivities.  Here is a study I did yesterday.  My daughter was posing for me and I was trying to get her to sit on the couch with her Dad's guitar.  Well, she's really small and the guitar was just too big for her to be comfortable holding, so I told her to take a break while I grabbed some coffee.  I came back to catch this vision and promptly ditched the guitar idea.  I can't wait to be able to start working on the bigger painting when I get back this weekend - I'm very excited about it!

ABSTRACT DANCER in ACRYLIC by OLGA WAGNER

This little figurative abstract is part of my "Strength of Women" series...It is also an entry into the Daily Paintworks "Picasso It Challenge". We were challenged to paint in the style of an artist that we admire. I have taken couple of most wonderful workshops with Robert Burridge. He paints from within his heart and he encourages others to do the same. He paints free and with enormous passion - A passion that sometimes eludes me. I think my passion gets lost between laundry and grocery shopping...

Barn Cats by Pamela Blaies

Barn Kitty Cuddle

12" x 24" 

Oil on Canvas 

 My parents have some barn cats to keep mice away from the house. They are fun to snuggle if you can catch them. I've been inspired lately by vintage photographs from the early to mid 1900s.  Black and white photos are fun to use as references because I allow my imagination to take me to other places and times as I work to bring scenes from the past back to life onto my canvas. I painted this little girl's cherubic face with extra rosy flush to add a vintage feel to this piece.
