Harbor Mist, by New York 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.

"Joy's Harbor - Benicia" by Northern California Artist Mark Bidstrup
A favorite plein air location for me and the Benicia plein air group. This was painted near sunset in the Autumn. There was talk that this harbor would be cleaned up and all these wonderful shapes would be removed. Artist revolted...so far so good.
8"x6" Oil on Board. $165.00 Shipped!
Please contact me at m_bidstrup@yahoo.com if you are interested in this painting. (gallery inquiries are always welcome!)

| Miami by Lisa Elley. 2012. 9 X 12. Oil on Canvas. 100% Palette Knife Painting. |
Who doesn't love the steamy vibrancy of Miami?
The reflections of the city lights through and around
the bridge drew me to paint this. That and a little local pride.

BOAT, HARBOR, CLOUDS PLEIN AIR PAINTING BY TOM BROWN
“SKY HIGH CLOUDS”
5x7 inch original oil painting
by Tom Brown
Another juicy little gem done just for fun. (Check the texture and colors in the detail shot.)
This was painted at the edge of Balboa Island late in the day. I used my custom-designed pochade box and a palette knife. That’s all I needed.
Setup was instantaneous. I just popped open my pochade box and went to work. No solvents or mediums to spill, and no brushes to clean when I’m done.
Afterwards I merely wiped the palette knife on a tissue and closed the paintbox with the painting safely stored inside. I was completely packed and ready to go.
That kind of gear makes it very inviting to pause for a few moments to capture something like this in a painting. I’ll bet it makes you want to get out your OWN paints and give it a try, doesn’t it?
Have a colorful day, and let me know if you would like this little treasure: tombrownstudio@cox.net

I am an American artist and I host a TV Art Instruction show where I teach studio oil painting and plein air painting in the Impressionist style.
I also teach other artists how to paint through oil painting workshops and art instruction CDs and DVDs.
My Impressionist plein air landscapes, still life compositions, portraits and figure paintings have been represented through prominent galleries for more than 20 years.
My paintings are in corporate collections including the City of Irvine, Sears, Standard Oil, and Coca Cola. My work is often seen in leading art publications like Southwest Art, Art & Antiques, American Art Review, American Art Collector, Art Calendar and others.
I am a former president of the Orange Art Association and past member of the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association and Southern California Plein Air Painters Association.
On my Daily Painter blog I offer affordable small original oil paintings to introduce my work to new and ongoing collectors. Much of my work these days is done on a private commission basis, and I welcome inquiries.
Thanks for looking.

Red Sails In The Harbor by Roxanne Steed
8"x6" oil on linen mounted on archival board (Raymar)
"The ocean has always been a salve to my soul...the best thing for a cut or abrasion was to go swimming in salt water. Later down the road of life, I made the discovery that salt water was also good for the mental abrasions one inevitably acquires on land."
- Jimmy Buffett
Ahh, so true! After a long miserable winter....while waiting for the garden to emerge in spring...there's nothing like the first days when it's warm enough to 'bring out the boats'. That's the best part of living on the shoreline here in New England. I spent part of a recent weekend here in Mystic & Stonington just watching boats, hanging out by the water. After spending most of my adult life near the shore, I don't think I could ever move inland again. And of all the boats I spotted, I was really intrigued by this one in Stonington harbor with the red sails, backlit by the late afternoon sun...heading back into the harbor.
