fragrant with Stargazer Lilies, Gerbera Daisies, and other little
blossoms, of course I couldn't resist painting it. It's always so nice
to be thought of ....and wonderful to have fresh flowers! (especially
for a painter!). Hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

Last Day Venice Art Trek with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams
Venice ©2013 Niki Gulley
8" x 10" oil painting
On the last day of our Venice Art Trek, St. Mark's Square was packed with tourists and people dressed up in costumes for Carnivalé which we loved seeing, but we were hoping to find a quieter spot to paint. So we left the photographers and headed back into the local neighborhoods where it was very peaceful and picturesque. I liked the ornamentation on this bridge and the way the light danced across the water and the under side of the structure.
If you'd like to join us on one of our upcoming European Art Treks, please let me know. Closer to home I'll be leading a Plein Air Painting Workshop sponsored through the Good Art Company gallery in Fredericksburg, TX, April 5-7.

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.

Silent Serendipity is an award winning painting of white poppies and white hydrangeas, and is a reflection of the first breath of spring in Flower Mound Studio. I could see this as a terrible time, with my mother in hospice, but instead I am celebrating the moments I can spend with her. I've mentioned before my good news, also, that I have given up my six figure corporate day job to become a full time artist. Today is the last Friday in the corporate world for me. My boss asked if I am feeling a huge load of stress disappear, but to my surprise, the answer is no. All I feel is excitement, happiness, and the urge to grin just a little too much.
Sometimes life is so busy and noisy, I forget there is another way of seeing. This is the beginning of a new chapter in my life, and am so thankful for the family and friends who have joined me on this journey.

Barn by Greg Martynow Wajs
A little about me...I'm 35 years of age, At 16 I found out I had Cancer (nasal pharyngeal carcinoma). I was successfully treated at the University of Chicago hospitals. A few years later at age 24 I suffered a Brain Stem Hemorrhagic Stroke. Which ultimately left my right side(both leg and arm), the left side of my face and my voice paralyzed as well as nystagmus ( involuntary rhythmic shaking of the eyes). The nystagmus is the real culprit affecting my art more so then use of my left arm. I was convinced by my family to give painting a shot, I didn't have much hope in seeing the end result. As I was right handed my entire life and could do nothing with my left hand.(to this day, I still can't write in a straight, even, uniform line) not to mention the hand tremors also left by the stroke..Well it turned out I did get use to painting with the opposite hand. It also turned out that I really enjoyed myself and have ultimately become passionate about painting.
So thats a quick explanation in how I got started in art. I hope you will stick around and check out my work. Sign up for email alerts or Like my Facebook Fan Page Enjoy

Indiana Sunflower 13039 Oil Painting, Day 3 of the Dreama Tolle Perry Carmel Indiana Oil Workshop by Texas Artist Nancy Standlee
Indiana Sunflower 13039
Oil, 8x8 in.
Painted on Ampersand Gessobord
I painted a 6x6 sunflower in oil in the 30/30 challenge and it got a got of positive comment and sold. See Blog post HERE
I used the palette knife with lots of texture. This sunflower was
painted on day 3 of the Dreama Tolle Perry oil workshop in Carmel
Indiana. The last day was the musical easel exercise I mentioned in my
last blog post and then each student brought some individual images to
work from and I chose to try another oil sunflower.
Some have asked what exactly is a gessobord and here is Ampersand's link HERE. The panels can be framed or could sit on a table top easel. HERE are some choices
for table top easels at Easel Moments. I really like these panels for
traveling as they fit well in the Ray Mar Wet Carriers HERE.
If you want to frame you can't beat the Franken Frames and several of the art supply stores have a good choice of floater frames like Jerry's Artarama.
If you like sunflowers you might like one on your checks. Here is another image available on my Check Advantage checks. Click on the floral group and the sunflower will be there.

Early Garden Purple Iris
by Nancy Medina

Oil on Archival Panel
The days are counting down until my last day at the corporate office next Wednesday - the last day of my magazine editor day job! I would be fibbing if I didn't admit I have moments of sheer panic, wondering how I am going to pay the electric bill in August, and how we will pay taxes and car registrations and those little zingers that come every once in a while that are harder to plan for. But then I take a deep breath and tell myself, it will all work out. Where there is a will, there is a way. And I have never wanted anything more than to be an artist and an art teacher. Nothing makes me happier! Well, and donuts. And maybe chocolate...!

Sunny Delight Floral and Painting Tips and Supplies by Roxane Steed
5"x7" oil on gessoed masonite panel
For more information, or to purchase, click here.
Wow, some days, life interupts your plans, and it's so difficult to get on with what your original intentions were. Like painting. Fortunately
I finally got a bit of studio time before these flowers began to bite
the dust. The blue fluffy things (can't remember the name of these
blossoms) were starting to drop their petals, so everything will get cut and put into new arrangements tomorrow for a different painting!
Just a quick view of how some areas of my studio get at those times when 'life' keeps interupting and the mess never gets cleared away. So all the 'fun
stuff' starts piling up...and becomes not so fun any more. Judging by
this tabletop work space, this studio is ready for the next episode of
'Hoarders' (ACK!!). Seriously, I like to work in a clean, calm space. I'm over due for a major clean-out. When we were still in the Navy, and would move every three years, it acted as sort of a forced clean out. In getting ready for the move, we would end up tossing or giving away, or selling things we weren't taking with us, and would really pare down the load. Time to have a 'field day' and (pretend) I'm getting ready for a move (?).
If you've been following this blog for a while you notice that I'm tweaking my working style just a bit. Sort of blending some techniques of old ways, and some new ways.
Our learning is a cumulative thing, always taking in new ideas,
blending them with things we already know, (or have known). After the
last several years of working only with a rather wide, round tipped palette knife, I've been wanting to mix things up and layer things a bit differently. I still am in love with texture and color, but I do like having underlayers, and deep dark transparent colors showing through under increasingly opaque lighter color. And even though I love the thick textural work of a wide knife, I do want a bit more detail in some areas. I also want to pay more attention to edges, which can be cumbersome at times with large knives.
Now,
as I've said before, I never throw out a good tool, even if I'm not
using it. I know it will eventually come in handy for something, and get
re-purposed! So here are some of the tools I've been using - some for a
long time, and others, I've dug out of former stashes tucked away, and found new jobs for old tools that were in great shape. So above, you'll see my two favorite painting knives, one pointy and one rounded, and a new thingy I've re-purposed from a bull-dog clip and one of those rubber slabs you carve into to make stamps or prints. I now use it as an 'interuptor' or an edge breaker. Got the idea for this technique from Julie Ford Oliver's 'fracturing' technique. Which was really quite interesting. It involves a good bit of 'adding & taking away' - until you really have an interesting surface quality, and if you pay attention to edges, a maintain a strong focal point (ONE item gets to be the star...not everything all over the place).
Artist friends, tell me you've
done this before....walked into an art supply store and thought "Wow,
that is one fine looking brush, I think I should get that...not that I
need it right now, but I think I might-
and this one is just made so beautifully, I have to have it because it's
just so well made"...etc. etc. yeah. I did that. Bought this Rosemary
brush at Plein Air Convention last April, and have finally brought it out of the 'tool box' and wow, I do love it! It IS indeed one fine brush! next below that is a Winsor Newton Monarch, I've had forever, don't use it often, but when I do, it responds just the way I need it to. Next down from the top is an 'Egbert' brush made by Robert Simmons (no, not Richard Simmons, haha). It's like a super long flat & filbert got together & had a gangly long legged teenager. Not good for much, but every now & then totally redeems itself by making the place look good! It actually is nice to softly flick an edge without overdoing the whole 'soften that edge thing' into an oblivion of mush.
A couple other bristle flats that I've had forever round out the crew, but I've also put an old angled water-color brush to good use. (After all, it was taking up valuable real-estate space, and it's earning its keep now!) And then the lonely rigger, that I hadn't used for AGES, now getting some use as a drawing tool (for soupy paint in the early stages).
Oh yeah, I've been asked before, what do you have your paint in? It's the paint box part from 'Art Box & Panel'
that James Coulter makes. I love it as a plein air set-up! It's a
little bigger than my older Open Box M (which yes, I still do love) but
this allows me to go a good bit bigger without adding too much more
weight. I also like to use the box in my studio, too. I just set it on my rolling taboret when I'm working at my larger easel.
Hope that's helpful! - I'd love to answer any questions you might have about plein air set-ups or studio gear!

"Rosie" Original Palette Knife Expressionism Equine, Horse Painting by Colorado Abstract Artist Kimberly Conrad
Original 11"x14" palette knife oil donkey painting on prepared paper. This is another piece I am removing from my private collection....part of the "Misfit" series from 2009. This piece has been in a beautiful frame in my entryway for years....but it is time for a change, and "Rosie" must find new home....
I am at a bit of a crossroads professionally...feeling a bit uninspired, and trying to decide whether to keep "pouring" acrylic...or go back to palette knife oil, which is where I began...or do both...
I was leaning towards going back to palette knife, then yesterday I was commissioned to do two larger poured aspen pieces at a very agreeable price....and possibly a large poured seascape for the same collector...and I have a group of large aspens in the works for a local hospital, so what is a girl to do???? I am thoroughly confused...no telling what I will be posting in the next few weeks.... I fear I will be experimenting ( if I am brave enough) and may be need to apologize ahead of time...Artists are constantly told to "find your voice"....but what that voice speaks many languages????
Anyhow....if you have an interest in misfit "Rosie"...

"Art and music are to my soul, as food and water are to my body. I believe that they are two of God's most precious gifts to His children. As the author and giver of creativity, through these gifts, He has given us a portion of Himself. He created the very first canvas, magnificently painted it, and brought it to life" I am a full time artist, dividing my time between painting and teaching in my Colorado studio. Having painted on most every surface imaginable, at this time I work primarily on canvas, board, and paper. Though my style remains quite diverse, I believe I have the heart of an Abstract Expressionist, or even more accurately, an Action Expressionist, as I am most definitely an "action painter". Each painting is a journey , dictated by primarily by my current thoughts and emotions, be they happy, sad, peaceful or frenzied.It is a mysterious relationship, and is thrilling when the painting finally reveals itself, and our private journey becomes a story to share.

Karen is an intuitive artist with an innate connection to the universe. Turning mediative visions into mesmerizing paintings.
Using only a palette knife and bold colors Karen’s painting are intended to draw you in and caressing you like a lover. Sensual and tantalizing, whimsical and teasing, with curves that ebb and flow. Her pieces have been described as cosmic, relaxing yet full of energy, intuitive, erotic, fantasy, peaceful, organic and come from deep within her. You can feel her interconnectedness to the universe, she captivates you with her use of emotion, color and swirling tendrils that are a big part of her and her artwork.
Karen’s goal is for the viewer to find their own unique interpretation in her paintings. To let the imagination run free for a while and connect with their inner most feelings.

Plein Air Painting Workshop in Venice, Italy with Niki Gulley - Day 4, the Rialto Market
"Tunnel Vision," Venice ©2013 Niki Gulley
10" x 8" • textured oil painting
On the fourth day of our Venice Art Trek, we headed to the Rialto bridge and set up our easels by the morning market. Below you can see one of my watercolor students, Melissa, painting the clock tower, while others wandered the fruit, vegetable, meat and fish stands. I chose the vantage above because I liked the repetition of the arches in the negative space and how the back of the scene was flooded with light and activity on the Grand Canal.
