Color and Light Reflections by Pamela Blaies

Antique Glass and Red Tulips

oil on linen

24" x 18"

These red tulips begged me to take them home from the market. I had fun painting them all last week. In this composition, I put some antique bottles right up next to a bouquet of them which created some beautiful color and light reflections.

Painting Glass by Pamela Blaies

Apples and a Green Glass Bottle

14" x 11"

Surrounded by a sea of cool colors, the one Red Delicious apple in front tries to steal the show. But I think the star is the green glass bottle. Painting glass with all of the dimension, subtle color and reflections is challenging and fun!

Keepsake

12" x 9"

I went to hang my pretty, new, yellow anniversary roses to dry and needed to make room on the hook. Turns out these red roses were still hanging there from last year's anniversary gift. Keepsakes and sweet memories!

Taming Pthalo by Pamela Blaies

Apples and Antique Silver

6" x 6"

oil on linen

I've gotten a little behind on my posting and blogging. It's been a fun and full week with the kids' end of school parties, getting them ready for camp and my mom visiting. Today I will be working on painting #71 of 100. This petite painting project is so fun - experimenting with color and light, exploring composition and daily practice! On this one, I used Pthalo Blue instead of Ultramarine, just to see what it can do. It is strong and a little tough to tame, but wow, what beautiful deep reds it can make!

Poolside Plein Air by Pamela Blaies

Backyard Begonias

4" x 4"

oil on linen panel

I don't do much plein air, but this afternoon was so gorgeous I couldn't resist painting poolside. It was warm with a light breeze - just enough to keep away the bugs! These cheery begonias were in a little shady spot with just a bit of light filtering in.

Sometimes Less is More by Pamela Blaies

Red Rosebud

6" x 6"

I found this rosebud in my yard on a rosebush full of blooms. I was tempted to add another rose to the composition, but sometimes less is more and this was one of those times. I love the elegance of this painting.

Red Apple Slices by Pamela Blaies

Here is Petite Painting #7. To make the green grapes look illuminated, I painted the lightest part of the grape first to make sure the color I mixed stayed saturated. The cast shadows of the grapes really makes this light effect pop. Anyone up for a snack?
