Box Arrangement 1,2,3,4, by New York 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.

Dog Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Golden Retreiver Portrait, 8x8x1.5" Oil by Carol Schiff
When I first started painting I did a lot of dog portraits for clients. Slowly, I moved into other subjects, but every once in a while, I get the urge to paint a cute canine.
I quickly painted three unique, special puppies, before the urge passed. This is Oscar.
Now, that the hectic holidays are over, it feels good to get back to my daily rountine.
I love the feel of a brand new year, that same feeling I get when I put on a new dress for the first time. It stretches ahead of me with endless possibilities. My goals this year are to concentrate more on quality and less on quanity, so posts may be fewer and farther apart.
What are your art goals for the beautiful year ahead?
Thanks you for reading my blog today.

New "Kid's Perspective" Palette Knife Aspen Tree Painting by Niki Gulley
"Kid's Perspective" ©2015 Niki Gulley
textured oil painting on canvas • 20" x 30"
In "Kid's Perspective" I wanted you to feel that child-like wonder of staring up in into the treetops and heavens above. Choosing uplifting golds and soft shades of tangerine contrasted against a blue sky with gentle clouds drifting by, I've arranged the aspens in a circular pattern to give you a sense of laying on the ground, surrounded by the forest and to direct your eye to the focal point. Utilizing thick, curving paint strokes adds to that joyful, playful feeling of hope and discovery.
To see more of my impressionist palette knife paintings, please visit NikiGulley.com.
If you have any questions about my aspen and birch tree paintings, please e-mail Niki Gulley.
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.

Mud Flats by Kathryn Stotler
Mud Flats
17 x 37
Acrylic on canvas
This is a painting I thought was finished two years ago! It was full of loose brushwork and was actually quite lovely in its own way. However, in preparation for two upcoming shows, I pulled it out of the studio and realized it needed the knife! So I reworked it with the palette knife and used a rag to smooth over some rough spots. I am calling it finished.................... for now.
Far Away by Kay Wyne

Contemporary Abstract - Palette Knife Painting
I had an underpainting on this canvas that wasn't working for me, so I changed it up and got my palette knife out and started pushing and pulling the paint. Then I used a rubber wipe-out tool to draw some lines and move paint around. Then signed it! Far Away is for sale, and you can contact Kay Wyne for purchasing info. Thanks for looking at my blog....I will be in the studio today working on Day #6 for the paint challenge! KMW

$15 ART PROJECT YOU CAN PAINT by TOM BROWN
“CLASSIC STILL LIFE” is a beautiful art project you can easily paint on your very first
try, even if you have never drawn or painted anything before! And you’ll have
FUN doing it.
This 34-page eBook Tutorial is profusely illustrated, and
is priced at just $15. You can view it on your computer or tablet, or print and
make it into a booklet.
It shows you everything you need to know,
including:
A complete supply list (tip: very few supplies are
needed)
How to set up your workspace
A step-by-step guide from blank canvas to finished
painting
An easy-to-use grid to transfer the drawing accurately to
your canvas
Color recipes for various parts of the painting
Tips about the best consistency for your paints (and how
to achieve it)
Dozens of inside tips and techniques I teach in private
workshops
… and much, much more.
If you’re a new artist this is a surprisingly easy way to
get started right; or to improve your skills if you’re an experienced artist.
And you can apply these same methods to many other subjects you’ll want to
paint on your own, too!
It’s really very easy and I show you everything you need to do in very simple steps as you create your own masterpiece. The demonstration uses water mixable oils, but it can also be painted with traditional oils, acrylics, gouache or pastels.
I am an American artist and I host a TV Art Instruction show where I teach studio oil painting and plein air painting in the Impressionist style.
I also teach other artists how to paint through oil painting workshops and art instruction CDs and DVDs.
My Impressionist plein air landscapes, still life compositions, portraits and figure paintings have been represented through prominent galleries for more than 20 years.
My paintings are in corporate collections including the City of Irvine, Sears, Standard Oil, and Coca Cola. My work is often seen in leading art publications like Southwest Art, Art & Antiques, American Art Review, American Art Collector, Art Calendar and others.
I am a former president of the Orange Art Association and past member of the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association and Southern California Plein Air Painters Association.
On my Daily Painter blog I offer affordable small original oil paintings to introduce my work to new and ongoing collectors. Much of my work these days is done on a private commission basis, and I welcome inquiries.
Thanks for looking.
Impressionist Floral Painting, Daily Painting, Roses and Pear, 14x18x1.5" Oil
In early November, I attended a workshop with Elio Camacho. I have to say it was four hard working, but enjoyable days. He is a wonderful instructor and has given me to courage to attempt new techniques.
He has helped me tremedously with seeing color. I was not reading the reflection on the bottle as lavander until he pointed it out to me. Of course, his use of color is what attracted me to his work in the first place.
I like the soft colors here along with the soft edges.

30 Day Painting Challenge- Day 3 Rose by Ann McCann 5 x 7 Oil

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting
40" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
This is the companion piece that hangs next to yesterday's painting that I posted. Below is a picture of the two canvases on my easel. Hanging as a diptych would make the painting approximately 40" x 60"...and would look great in a home or office setting. The sides need to have a second coat of light grey paint, and I may put a few touches on it.
Today is Day #4 in the 30/30 Day Paint Challenge. I have several abstracts and florals on my easel...I can't wait to get back into the studio after the holidays and the crazy schedules. Thanks for looking at my art on this blog....contact Kay Wyne for purchasing info. KMW

Daily Landscape Painting, "Blue Ridge Switchback" 6x8 SOLD
Today's daily painting is one of my favorites. We decided to take a drive to Water Rock Knob, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway in beautiful North Carolina.
It was a beautiful, clear October day and I tried hard to capture the clear skies and gorgeous fall foliage.
Living in Florida for 40 years, I miss the fall colors and smells I remember from my childhood in Ohio. It is the best part of my visits to North Carolina and I try to get there in mid-October every year.
As a child I loved to rake the leaves into a pile and take a running jump right into the middle. In those days we would rake the yard and then burn the leaves. There was nothing better than walking to school on a sidewalk covered with leaves, crackling under my feet as I shuffled along. Evenings conjure up memories of hay rides followed by warm donuts and cider. That's before the days of Dunkin Donuts, these were home made and covered in sugar and cinnamon.
I am sorry my grandchildren will never have those memories, but I know when they think back on their childhoods they will find something equally as pleasing to remember.

Day #3 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge
I loved working on this canvas...I mixed and mixed piles of juicy oils before I started, as I wanted to keep my colors toned down and in control. I started with a light grey background, including the sides of the canvas. Then I roughed in my design with a filbert before I started with the palette knife. I have a companion canvas that you will see tomorrow, so both canvases can stand alone or it can hang as a diptych. There are layers and layers of paint, along texture. I haven't decided on a title yet...any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks for looking at my art. Kay

30 Day Painting Challenge- Day 2 Red Rose by Ann McCann 5 x 7 Oil

Horse Portrait, "Big Red" 6x8" Oi, SOLD
I have been trying to expand my horizons by painting new subject matter. This is my second horse painting.
I have to say I did enjoy the challenge. He looked so spirited and I got excited about his red coat against a green background.
It's always fun to stretch a little, try something new. I would like to do more of these, but I think my biggest challenge will be getting interesting reference images to work from. We have plenty of horses in our neighborhood, but they usually run to the other end of the pasture when they see me approach with my trusty camera.
Do you have any special techniques for getting images of animals?

36" x 36" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Floral Painting
Layers of paint, drips of paint, palette knife work, brush work, and a large palette full of color made this painting fun and exciting for me. I wish I had photographed all the steps and the process that I took to get to this point. "Dreaming" was inspired by a beautiful floral bouquet. This painting is drying at the studio after weeks of painting on it. Contact ME for purchasing info. I was able to start the year off with a great day of painting in the studio...Thanks for looking at my blog. Kay
"Breaking Through" by Lynda Cookson
"Breaking Through" was created one cold and blustery day at the Cill Rialaig residency I was attending in Co Kerry, Ireland. It was January and the froth from the angry sea and crashing waves was collecting in thick piles along the beach and in amongst the rocks. But it was a break-through time for me in my work ... the beginning of my love of abstract art ... and this piece touched my heart the most.
I haven't let is go for all these years (a decade or more), hanging on to it like a crutch ... but I'm ready to let that crutch go now. It's served it's purpose.
So, you will find this precious (to me) piece here : Breaking Through

New Sunflower Palette Knife Oil Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley
SOLD • 24" x 12" textured oil painting • ©2016 Niki Gulley
Just Sold! I wanted this piece to be uplifting and full of color and energy. Set beneath an azure sky on a beautiful day in summertime with the sunflowers in full bloom, I hope all of your cares drift away while gazing into this cheerful scene.
In this vertical floral series, I've framed the paintings in espresso floater frames so that you can still see the textured oil paint continuing around the edges of the canvas. These sunflowers look great hung alone or in a grouping, too!
