Evergreen, Abstract paintng by NY 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.

by looking out my northern Colorado windows! This is what has been
happening all day, snow, snow, and more snow on the way. I guess it's winter!

Thanks for looking!
"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.

January Woods
January Woods - Sold
5"x 7" oil on panel
The first real snow of 2015 layered everything with white today and provided a snow day for many. Me included. Its never really a snow day as technology increases remote connectivity and I worked from home.
However, at 4am I couldn't sleep and was up and in the studio and found an image I had taken a few years ago looking out from the protection of the woods into the clearing of the meadow and decided to paint it. I believe painting becomes automatic to me, no matter what the time of day, whether night or day.
I am surrounded by trees where I live in the country and over time have made trails and clearings through the trees that provide magical places to observe light and colour.
I am a professional visual artist in northeastern Newfoundland and Labrador. I am inspired by the ocean and boats. Reflections and colour are a large part of my work as well as creating the nuances in values that make these things so unique.
I am an impressionist painter working with a palette knife, however, I do use other mediums for small paintings and create original prints in the form of linocuts and etchings.
You can find my larger works on my website www.jeanettejobson.com. The process of creating a piece of art is often shown on my blog http://illustratedlife.blogspot.com through works in progress, tutorials and sometimes giveaways! I also accept commissions and teach drawing and palette knife painting through workshops and privately.
You can also find me on Facebook (jeanette Jobson Fine Art) or Twitter (jeanettejobson). Drop by and say hello, I'd love to meet you and share my journey.

"Red Sunset in Winter" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass
I've
resumed painting on glass and present you with my version of a snowy
evening with a vivid sunset! This sort of art can be trying to produce,
there are always the unexpected color mixes, problems with tools,
spills, and, of course, impatience! I must say that I do enjoy the
results, however, if not always the process!

First Snow
First Snow - Sold
5" x 7" oil on panel
After the first real snowfall of the year, I drove to an out of town gallery to collect a couple of pieces that hadn't sold during the summer. The drive was lovely, as snow sat heavily in the trees, blanketing the world and making it look like a picture postcard.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw some boats that were pulled up from the water for the winter. Sitting there in the browned grass with snow covering the edges of the boat, I knew there was a painting in the scene. Just a hint of the water behind the boat tempts the viewer to look further into the painting.
After each painting that I complete in my current series of boat paintings, I use the leftover paint on the palette to create a small 5" x 7" piece, usually available in my Etsy store.
You can find more of my work on my website Jeanette Jobson Fine Art, my blog, Illustrated Life and on Facebook and Twitter. Stop by and say hi, I'd love to hear from you!

Well
the last day of the challenge is here, and it is time to take a
breather and stock of all the paintings. I like some much better than
others and will work on a few some more after I have studied them.
Sometimes it takes a while to be able to assess a painting more
critically than when it has just been painted.About this painting
This was painted from a photograph on Paint my Photo, in response to this week's challenge on Daily Paintworks. I painted it over three days as the trees refused to form into a painterly order. The lef-hand-most tree was painted and wiped several times. It started out as a very thick tree, but just did not look right. It's much better now I have given it some breathing space.
Limited palette
I used a limited palette of alazarin crimson, ultramarine blue, cadmium orange and a touch of cadmium yellow. Maybe I should have toned down the alazarin to make it less red? Let me know what you think?
Some close-ups

"Treehouse" Original Oil Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art
My boys and I were playing out in the snow the other day, and I looked up and noticed this beautiful shadow on the front of our house. The morning sun was shining golden, with all of these amazing purple shadows of the tree and their footprints all over the yard... It took my breath away.
