Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Small Flower Painting, "Country Style" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil on Panel

When I am in Florida, I go to the store, purchase flowers, bring them home and try to arrange them perfectly in a beautiful vase.

purchase here
110 plus shipping
When I am in North Carolina, I go to the garden, or just pick some wildflowers, plop them in a small milk bottle or jelly jar.......that's what I call "Country Style".


I tried to keep that laid back feel in the painting too, using both a brush and a palette knife.



Then, I brought it back to Florida, to remind me to relax and chill now and then.

Thanks for reading my blog today.  I hope you get to "chill" a little too.

New "Exploring the Woods" Palette Knife Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley





“Exploring the Woods" ©2016 Niki Gulley

12" x 18" textured oil painting


















I painted "Exploring the Woods" on a beautiful fall day at one of my favorite spots near our home. The brilliant gold and tangerine leaves were glowing from the sun backlighting them, and the gnarly tree trunks were forming an intricate web that I just had to capture. Painted with palette knife and thick oil paint, this landscape is filled with color, movement and energy!

If you'd like more information or a brochure on one of our upcoming Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshops, please let me know. This year's upcoming Art Trek to Spain is full, but we are taking reservations for the following year to Tuscany, England and Ireland.

Nambia Impressions 1, Save the Rhino fundraising by Marion Hedger

Namibia Impressions1 - Swakopmund Fog
Oil painting by Marion Hedger
30x30cm oil on MDF canvas panel

This painting is an abstract landscape in lilacs, blues and turquoise invoking the fog that occurs each morning around Swakopmund. The background is blended paint that has been enhanced with impasto palette knife work suggesting the shimmering colours seen in fog and mist.

After spending some time in the Desert Rhino Camp in the Kunene area of Namibia early last year, I have a fondness for the desert-adapted black rhino. They live in a desolate but beautiful area in the North-west of Namibia and are monitored and protected by the rangers of the Save the Rhino Trust. These black rhinos are highly endangered and face a constant threat of extinction due to poaching. The Save the Rhino Trust does a great job with minimum resources.

FUND RAISING
Half of all sales of The Namibia Impressions of paintings will go to the trust - So please spread the word and help the cause. In a world where many of our animals are disappearing, every bit of help is an advance.

Feet in Bed Painting by Texas Artist, Judy Mackey





"My Side, Your Side"
6" x  6", Oil on Board
Website:  JudyMackey.com
Email: CLICK HERE


A few years ago I painted feet and most of them sold fairly quickly.  Not that I have feet fetish but I think a painting that is abstract and minimal in nature are sometimes full of story lines. 


I painted this last Summer but never posted it anywhere.  I was surprised and pleased that when I listed this painting on the online art gallery, it sold before the day was done and I received requests for more.



I have another one drying on the easel.  I'll be posting it soon.



btw my commissioner of the sail boat was pleased with her painting so *phew* !  I am relieved.

Winter Welcome, New Contemporary Landscape Painting by Sheri Jones

Winter Welcome
36x24 gallery wrapped canvas

Painting on location in December inspired this studio piece. I started with a warm thin layer of  paint to cover the white on the canvas. I then used a lot of grays to project the mood I wanted. I enjoyed using a softer palette on this Texas landscape painting.
This is available for purchase. Email me for more info.

"Art in the West" by Lynda Cookson

"Art in the West" is an acrylic abstract on paper, created in 2004 for a group art exhibition I curated in Galway, Ireland - called Art in the West. I loved the colours, and the rich way in which they intermingled, so have kept this painting for those dozen years. Now she's for sale. Extremely reasonably ... although unframed. You'd need to contact me for the framed price.

Just click on any of the images or their titles to be taken through to the sales page, or click HERE.

"Ridge Line" 6x12" Palette Knife Painting SOLD


It is hard to beat the beauty of the mountains, especially when the sun is setting.

We were enjoying dinner at a friend's house when the sun put on this wonderful display.  The watercolor sky was impossible to ignore and the trees on the ridge appeared on fire as the sun dropped behind the mountain.

Sunsets are truly one of life's jewels.  Enjoy!

New "Chit Chat" Palette Knife Aspen Tree Painting by Niki Gulley

“Chit Chat" ©2016 Niki Gulley
30" x 48" textured oil painting

Shimmering in golden light, this backlit grove of aspen trees reaches tall, leaning left and then right towards the sun as it grew. The peeling trunks almost seem to move, even chatting with one another. A few trees weren't so lucky and lay fallen at their feet, while the whole scene is filled with color, texture and movement to suggest the power of nature and its ability to enhance your spirit.

Sailing, Hobie Cat Sail Boat Painting by Palette Knife Artist, Judy Mackey





"Sailing"
10" x  8", Oil on Board
Website:  JudyMackey.com
Email: CLICK HERE






I've had this commission for several months - before Christmas but my life has been so topsy-turvy lately that I'd let the painting slide.  It's an excuse. 


People have gone through worse tragedies and misfortunes and have yet had the tenacity to pick up a brush or palette knife and worked through it.



My heart is on it's way to recovery and my days, while still hectic can be tamed a bit.  I have good people, good friends who have supported me and kept me going.  I am so blessed with this - My Life.



At any rate, the commissioner was patient and allowed me to take all the time I needed...and so here is her painting...I've tentatively titled it "Sailing".  She is free to rename this, of course.








If you are interested in commissioning me to paint something special for you, please email me at judy@judymackey.com.  If you like my work, leave me a comment, share this blog with your friends and LIKE ME ON FACEBOOK - Thank you!!.

The original painting has sold, but today, I am offering prints for sale at 8x10" and 11x14".  There is a tiny cropping problem on the lower left of these prints(not visible in this image),,,,nothing that will show when it is framed, but it is there.  So, I have priced these two prints with a $10.00 discount.

WILDFLOWERS, ACRYLIC, 20X24, SOLD

This is definitely not my usual painting! A few years ago, I took a month long workshop with Fritz VanEeden. Fritz is a very well known and respected artist from Holland who has been living in our town at least part of the year. I was fortunate enough to work with him for over a month, 3 days a week, for 4-5 hours. Fritz is obsessed, and if he is awake, he must have a paintbrush in his hand! He is also a wonderful man. I do enjoy this type of painting, but I just couldn't get the hang of painting out of my head. So this is my one and only true abstract!

Now, my varnishing question got several replies, both here and on facebook, and the winner is......retouch varnish! I have run to my art supply store to grab a can and now feel much more confident in my technique. So, thank you all very much for your replies!

New "Song of the Woods" Aspen Tree Painting by Niki Gulley

"Song of the Woods"  ©2016 Niki Gulley
30" x 40" textured oil painting on wrap around canvas

Shimmering colors of autumn: Aspen and Oak trees quiver, their light graceful leaves tremble and quake, silver and gold, scarlet and tangerine, with each light breeze. There is the quiet energy of change coming and vibrant color charges the woods. Crisp fall mountain air, a band of slender trunks cut bright strokes of white against a dazzling kaleidoscope of colors. Staccato strokes and shimmering hues add to the feeling of change in the air and suggest the breeze whistling through the foliage.
