Old Fashioned, Rose Still Life Painting By Marion Hedger

 Old Fashioned Rose Still Life Painting 
By Marion Hedger
Roses still life palette knife painting
24x30cm (approx 10x12")
My aim was to pay particular attention to the lost and found edges and I'm quite pleased with the effect. Unfortunately the camera always make the edges of palette knife paintings seem sharper than they are.

Soaking Up Sunshine by Kay Wyne


Soaking Up Sunshine
14" x 14" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Floral Still Life
Thick paint applied with a new wide brush made this painting so much fun to paint.  Up until the last few strokes, the vase was square in shape, but with the background window pains, I though it was all too angular.  So I changed it up.  The 14" x 14" canvas size is a nice medium size---you wouldn't think that there is much difference between a 12" x 12" and this size...but there is a huge difference.  This contemporary still life is colorful, bold, and happy.  Contact Kay Wyne for purchasing info.  Thanks for looking at the art posted on this blog.  KAY

Floral Still Life Series, #2, Daily Painting, 6x8"

I have been working on a series of small floral still life paintings in the past week or two.  The images are all from small floral arrangements that I cut from my garden and photographed over the five years.  I never painted them, but always kept the images in my files.

$96 + 6.50



It's odd how you ignore something, something you may see many, many times, and then one day you look at it and magic happens.

When I noticed one of these little pictures last week, it was like the first time I had seen it.  The strong shapes drew me in immediately.


Since then, I have been in a floral frenzy.....painting one after another.  The common factor, other than that they are all flowers, is that each image had back lighting, sometimes strong, sometimes not so much.



So here is #2 in the series.  I will be posting them all, but not in painting order and probably not every day.

This week I am doing several portrait commissions.  After a few weeks of struggling with those projects, I will be ready to return to these simple and refreshing daily florals.

Jar of Joy by Kay Wyne


Jar of Joy
$75
6" x 6" Oil on RayMar Panel
Contemporary Abstract Palette Knife Painting
I was painting a floral landscape yesterday, and had started this little panel, and added some dark greens and violets, giving it more depth and interest.  In this still life, the little jar is holding three flowers...very simple.  The palette knife gives it some texture.  Contact Kay

Floral Still Life, Hydrangea Still Life, by Carol Schiff, 10x10" Palette Knife Painting

Today I was looking for something soothing and serene........

$150 + 14





I have always been drawn to this color combination of blues, greens, lavenders, and pinks.  Working with a palette knife made it feel even softer to me,  I was in the zone on this one, slinging paint everywhere.  Clean up was not fun!
