Palette knife and oil is all I use for my
paintings. This is the best way to get clean, bright, rich color.
The secret to real vibrant paintings I believe.

Thunder in Tuscany and 1000 Years of Prayer - Nancy Medina Art Classes and Workshops
Thunder Red Geraniums
by Nancy Medina
16X12
Oil on Archival Linen
Class Demonstration, Tuscany, Italy
Class Demonstration, Tuscany, Italy
Thunder rolled across the Tuscan hills last night, blasting light in bolts that shook the ground and threw out the power for a short time during our dinner hour at San Fedele in the Chianti region of Italy. We grabbed our wine glasses, cameras, and other valuables from tables on terraces overlooking vineyards and ran into the chapel to escape a drenching rain. As black clouds moved quickly across hills that had seen the boots of the Gestapo, the soft tread of monks, and the footprints of local farmers, it seemed only fitting to find sanctuary in a place where prayer had been given for 1000 years.
The view from my window
Salute from Tuscany!

Hothouse Sunnies and a Tuscany Painting Workshop - by Nancy Medina Art
Hothouse Sunnies

Class Demonstration
12X12
Oil on Deep Gallery Wrap Canvas
Hothouse Sunnies was one of my six class demonstrations during my flower and landscape painting workshop in North Texas this weekend. The tulips we painted are still blooming, the gift that keeps on giving and my house is filled with fresh flowers - one of the fringe benefits of being a flower painting teacher! I love my job.... Another great perk, besides helpers who are cute and furry and four-footed, is getting to travel and teach - my next European destination is coming up in June and you are invited! Painters and non-painters alike are welcome - I'm saving a poppy with your name on it!

"Walk Into the Poppy Fields" by Karla Nolan
I
usually don't paint large artworks. They take forever and try my
patience. However, I do want to paint large paintings more frequently.
Finding the right subject matter can be difficult and planning the
whole scene just as trying. However, I have worked on this painting off
and on over a couple of years and am finally reasonably satisfied. Who
doesn't enjoy a walk into an Italian poppy field in Tuscany?
"Walk Into the Poppy Fields", 24"x36" palette knife oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas, $1295 includes s/h
in continental U.S., click Paypal button below or write me at
KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information
Thanks for viewing my art! Greetings from Fort Collins, Colorado
"Life is an onion and one peels it crying."--French proverb
Escapism. Defying time. Serenity and solace. Reliving treasured moments...the reasons I paint and make artwork. The creative acts are surely the most pleasant and yet difficult of all. Color and form are special friends. The challenge of perfecting artwork is monumental and exhilarating. This effort has grown to be both friend and family, which are the two most important aspects of my life. Judaica is my most challenging art...Hebrew and I don't always get along!
I'm mainly self-taught in art, relying on intuition, experimentation, benefiting from studying books, visiting museums, galleries and learning painting techniques from other artist friends/relatives. I've studied pastels with Clive Tyler, taken oils with Daniel Edmondson. My newest medium is painting on glass, inspired by an Italian master, bringing this art technique home and applying my own topics. My oils are mainly with palette knife.
This art style might be called "abstract realism", an oxymoron in its own right. Favorite contemporary artists include Cruciani, L Horowitz, Berberian, S Stork, C Tyler, D Edmondson.

Day 12, Project 125 Susanville, CA Barn plein air painting
© 2013 Becky Joy Susanville, CA Barn oil 6 inches x 6 inches $125.
Click here to purchase.
I didn't get out of Lake Tahoe until almost 11:00. (I had to stop by the post office to get something in the mail that was overdue, oops!) Anyway, got my work done and posted my painting from the night before.
I remember Susanville from years ago going through there on the way to Reno from Oregon. I don't know why it has always stuck in my mind, but I do love those old barns and farms. In this barn I got a great shot of an old truck, which is below. I'll have to paint that later.
It was afternoon by the time I got in Susanville. I was struck by the beautiful blues of the mountains. That blue always seems indescribable in paint. It's kind of an ultramarine & colbalt combination. In this painting I placed the light of the sky against the dark of the barn, adding a little yellow and cad red to the white, just a tiny, tiny bit. I very seldom use a pure white in a painting and only sparingly.
Upcoming Workshops:
Hood River, OR 1 day plein air Sept 4, click here for info
Carmel, IN 3 day plein air Sept 24 - 27, click here for info
Tuscany, Italy June 7 - 17, 2014, click here for info
Korkula Island, Croatia Sept 14 - 23, 2014, click here for info
Talk to you all later,
I paint. Using oils and recently rediscovering pastels I paint primarily landscapes in plein air and the studio. I'm known for my sunsets and skies. I'm passionate about passing on what I have learned from nationally known artists in workshops that I teach.

Plein Air Painting in Tuscany with Niki Gulley
.JPG){kind=link}
ART TREKS: TUSCANY
with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams
with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams
During our plein air painting workshop in Tuscany last September, we finished a delicious antipasto lunch of prosciuttos, local pecorino, fresh fruits and vegetables, and we headed into the hills for our afternoon painting location. Starting fairly late in the day, we timed it so that the light would be soft and golden as we were putting the finishing details on our paintings. For this painting, we focused in on one of the tuscan farmhouses, with just a suggestion of the peaks and valleys in the background. Between the quiet surroundings, the quintessential Tuscan vineyard behind us and the perfect weather conditions, this proved to be a very inspiring afternoon.
If you would like to join us on future ART TREKS to Paris, France in May, Tuscany, Italy in September, or Cinque Terre / Lake Como, Italy in September visit nikigulley.com/artreks. Registration deadline is Fri. Feb. 17th.
***
E-mail Niki Gulley for more information.
To see more of my plein-air paintings, visit my website at NikiGulley.com.
Niki Gulley’s passion for painting began in grade school when she had to draw something as mundane as shoes for art class, and loved every minute of it. Her parents enrolled her in private lessons and she was hooked. Following her childhood in Chicago, Niki relocated to Dallas to pursue an art major at SMU. Since she disliked the freezing Illinois winters, Dallas seemed like the place to stay after graduating.
Next, Gulley entered the world of advertising, working as art director for a local magazine. After a few years passed, Niki felt like something was missing. So she started painting again every free moment. This is what she had been missing and she began to feel fulfilled again.
It is from this feeling of true joy that Niki translates onto canvas. She seeks to capture the beauty of our landscape, utilizing vivid colors in oil paint and pastels to convey a particular mood. Gulley invites you to reconnect with nature and escape day-to-day responsibilities along with her in these creations.

Tuscan Landscape III
10"x10"x1.5"
Mixed media on Canvas
$100.00
This is the third of my Tuscan inspired palette knife series. The collaged canvases were originally intended for something else and had been sitting in the corner of my studio for a few months. Since I've been experimenting with palette knife painting lately, I decided to paint directly on the prepared canvases and allow the collaged materials show through the heavy impasto.
To purchase this or the whole grouping, please contact me.

Mixed Media on Canvas

I just completed a series of four small, very textural abstracted landscape paintings. The movie "Under the Tuscan Sun" was the inspiration and although I have never been to Tuscany, I tried to capture the feel of the the countryside, the warmth of the sun and some of the archetecture.
To purchase one or all four, please contact me.
