For You Iris Palette Knife Painting by Judy Mackey

 
 
"For You"
24 x 18 x .75 inches, Oil on Gallery wrapped canvas
 
 
 
This painting will be going to the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas for review.  This is actually a study for a larger painting I'm planning to do.  Instead of a vase, I thought it might look interesting to have hands holding it in a bunch.

Daily Painting 1449 SOLD Plein Air at South Beach

SOLD  Hot off the easel today at the beach!  Nice day today, not too warm.  Those are sea grape plants on the right, the orange leaves are the new leaves, it does kind of look like fall.  We saw a rabbit in the sea oats so I put him into the painting too. :o)

The painting is 8 x 10, oil on masonite.

Plein Air Painting in Tuscany with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams

9x12 textured oil painting by Niki Gulley

Day 1, afternoon location - Tuscany Art Trek

That afternoon it started to drizzle, so we picked a location that was covered where we could still paint and photograph. With the sky fairly overcast and the hues rather dull that afternoon, we used the cypress as our subject, but had fun playing with color. I think the results were even better than had it been a sunny day! Everyone's paintings turned out beautiful, and that evening we treated ourselves to a fabulous tuscan dinner of pastas, pecorinos, meats and a little vino to treat ourselves. A great end to a fun filled day!

One of our photographers getting into the shot!


An amazing dinner with new friends.

In late October and November Provence is a blaze of colour, with the orchards and vineyards turning from green to red and yellow. The tree in this painting stood at the edge of  a roadside (or 'chemin') next to a vineyard. The leaves on the tree have completely turned to burnished gold, although the vines are just beginning to change colour. The reddish earth is extremely dry after the drought of summer.

 I continue with the abstract theme.   I loved it yesterday and got up in the middle of the night to look at my work, as I often do, and thought maybe I could touch up a few areas.  I do not like to go back into a painting.  I know when a project is complete when the changes I make do not improve it.  I am at that point now.   So, I am calling it finished!

In fact, it would make my day.  Thank you for looking.

My New Studio is Just Peachy! by Pamela Blaies

Now that I get to work in such a great space all to myself, I feel spoiled! Below is a photo of my new studio as I set up for this painting. I found the cute little creamer at the antique mall. The turquoise adds a nice complement to the warm "peachy" colors.

TOM BROWN PLEIN AIR WORKSHOP INFO, CALIFORNIA IMPRESSIONIST SEASCAPE

$1 AUCTION. CLICK HERE:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/tombrownfineart/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg

Painting this was truly fun. The fresh air, the warmth of the sun, the sounds of the waves crashing against the beach. It’s a wonderful feeling to paint on location, and I think that comes through in the painting itself. This is “Keyhole Rock,” a landmark in Laguna Beach California. I once taught a Plein Air Workshop here, as I shared all my inside tips and techniques with other artists.

My new Plein Air Workshop begins in a couple of weeks on October 6. We’ll meet for 5 Saturday mornings from 9am to noon and paint on locations around Orange County. The classes are for all skill levels and I give loads of personal assistance.

If you would like to join the group I’ll email you details.

Tuscany Plein-Air Painting / Photo Workshop with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams

9x12 textured oil painting by Niki Gulley

Day 1 - Tuscany Art Trek

We had so much fun painting at the villa in the morning, that we decided to paint another farmhouse in a different direction next. With so much to choose from, it was had to pick just one subject! This time, we all decided to work with palette knife and thick juicy oil paint, enjoying creating texture and the exciting color combinations that occur while working wet in wet with the paint. As a treat when we were finished, we met up with the others in the group for a delicious lunch of local proscuittos, pecorino cheeses, fruits and vegees, and of course, a little vino for afternoon fuel!


Two of our painters, Sheri Jones (above) and Pat (below) also working with palette knife in Tuscany.

Daily Painting 1448 Scheffleras in Bloom

These huge scheffleras are growing in the back yard, they are also know as umbrella plants. The scheffleras have grown so large they are taller  than some of the palm trees.  They are around 30 or 40 feet tall.
 They are usually seen as a tiny plant in a dish garden. I painted this from life awhile ago, 2003 I think.  There were some things I didn't care for in the painting so I tweaked it a bit and here it is again.  Its 11 x 14 inches, $300.

Dotted all around Bonnieux in Provence are mas (farmhouses) of pale yellow stone surrounded by orchards or fields of lavender.

I was tickled pink today to receive the Dallas Arboretum Adult Education catalog and see my Blue Glass Asters Sunflower painting featured. I'll be teaching two fall workshops at the Arboretum in the next few months, and I sure hope you can join me. The Arboretum is a perfect venue for flower painting, not only because of the amazing gardens and waterfalls and paths and trees, but because the staff there is superb.

Visit my art blog to see some of my favorite pictures from the Arboretum. What better way to spend the day than painting flowers, and then step outside the classroom door and walk among hundreds of acres of blossoms?

Daily Painting 1446 Water Lily Extravaganza

Does anyone know what kind of palms those are?  They grow like I have them, all from a center root clump, with orange flowers.  $300.

New Painting Workshop, "Coloring Outside the Lines" with Niki Gulley

"Colorful Transformation" ©2012 Niki Gulley
36" x 48" textured oil painting on wrap around canvas

With "Colorful Transformation," I wanted to focus on brilliant color and simple shapes to see if I could communicate the excitement I feel when surrounded by nature.

I just love how this piece captured that essence!
