Flowers For Vincent by Roxanne Steed
8"x6" oil on linen mounted on archival panel
For more information or to purchase, click here.
Winter frequently brings me square head-on into a big artist block! I'm
not sure if it's a mental rebellion to cold weather or what. So, I have
been toying with some fresh ideas in my studio. One that I've been
noticing is a method Julie Ford Oliver calls "fracturing". It's sort of
like 'lines interrupted, with subtractive & additive painting going
on'. (I'm sure that clears things up!). Visit her blog here to see more of this idea.
It's quite different from the painting method I'd comfortably morphed
into over the last few years. I had been using very thick knife work
and Henry Hensche colorist theory I had learned from Leif Nilsson and
Camille Przwodek, painting directly. For the last couple years I had
really focused on shapes and values. Julie's method is more of a
building up of layers. I'm enjoying this in the studio (hey, I've only
tried this twice). But I'm trying to imagine how I'd use it outdoors,
when the weather is decent enough to paint plein air.
I'm a firm believer in all that we learn is cumulative. Building on
things we've taken in over the years. Always tweaking, finding new
things that pique our interest. In visiting museums over the years, I
recall two separate retrospectives, one of Monet, and another
retrospective of Renoir. Seeing how their work changed over their
life-times was quite illuminating to me! It's okay to change...to morph
into that next stage. The thought of it is a bit terrifying ...and yet,
quite exciting. Will I make a drastic change? (I doubt it, yet I never
rule out what exploration might bring).
As an artist, how does change in your artwork make you feel? Excited? nervous? exploratory?
As an art lover or collector, how does change in an artist's work make you feel? Interested, worried, curious, happy?
I wonder if it's my longing for Spring, that always puts me on edge at
this time of year? Yearning for new growth, outdoors as well as in my
'art spirit'. Well, I'm going to keep exploring some of these ideas.
Hold on tight!
Flowers and Fechin by Roxanne Steed
8"x6" oil on linen mounted on archival panel
By the time mid-winter sets in, I am snow weary. I'm getting antsy to
be outside, but either it's too cold, or as in yesterday's case, it was
possibly warm enough, but there was no place for me to park in my usual
painting spots without risk of getting my little car hung up on an ice
berm. (and doing some permanent damage!). By the time I got to the 4th
place of looking yesterday, I did find a place to park in a safe place,
where I could actually walk out to a safe place to paint, without
falling into a deep drift of snow....I was tired, hungry, and seeking
'facilities'. Yes, I shot the whole morning looking for a 'place'
outside to paint. By the time I got home, my husband had delivered
flowers for Valentine's day! - Yay!!! Some wonderful painting material
and beautiful colors to cheer up a dreary winter case of 'ice-blues'.
Painting ...and learning to paint, is all cumulative. You spend years
learning, experimenting, combining some techinques, eliminating others.
All of it eventually comes into play at any given time to make up you
'the artist'. I have been toying with combining several different
techniques that I have employed over the years, using both brush and
knife, laying some thick & thin areas with transparent oils in the
darkest areas, topped with ever lighter layers. Thanks to my hubby for
the wonderful flowers. I usually never stack things on my art books in
my studio, but I had placed this bouquet on top of my Nicolai Fechin
book (that was on top of the large Edgar Payne book). So of course I
decided to paint them this way as well! I hope these flowers last, I
think I might spend the next several days painting more bouquets!
Castle 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
New Sunflower series by Niki Gulley
12" x 12" textured oil on canvas
I painted these sunflowers with extremely thick paint and palette knife. The resulting canvas is loaded with texture, color and energy! I've painted it on 1 and 1/2 inch deep stretcher bars, with the image continuing around the edges so that it can be hung as is frameless for a contemporary look.
This sunflower scene looks great hung alone to brighten up a little spot, or in a grouping with some of my sunflower or floral scenes. Hang them horizontally (pictured above), vertically, on a diagonal or stacked. Take a look at nikigulley.com/the-art/textured-oils/ to find complimentary companion pieces.

or e-mail Niki Gulley with any questions.
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.

1484 The Old Garden Shed
I did this last night for a demo at the Hobe Sound
Fine Art League. I had a good time, everyone was very nice and
friendly. Lovely things to eat too. :o)! They are looking for some
new members.
The
shed is loosely based on one of the sheds at Hackberry Hammock. They
have paintouts there that are sponsored by Art Mundo. I always have a
good time when I go there to paint. The painting is 12 x 16 inches, oil
on masonite. I tweaked it a bit when I got home, I got so busy talking
and answering questions I ran out of time to fix things up. $400.
I was born in Ft. Pierce and lived there all my life. I have an Associate in Art degree from the Indian River Community College in Fort Pierce. I consider myself primarily self taught.I am a member of Plein Air Florida, and the leader of Plein Air Painters of the Treasure Coast. My paintings are in art collections worldwide.I have co-published an article in Plein Air Magazine. I have contributed paintings to Art for Nature, Heathcote Botanical Gardens, Habitat for Humanity and various other charities.I love painting outside using the painting knife. I love the rich texture and lustrous effects I can get with the knife. My studio is located in my home in Fort Pierce. I use both of my names in my art, Lori McNamara and Lenore McNamara. I can be reached at lori.mcnamara@gmail.com

'Marine Court' By Irish Artist Maria Noonan-McDermott
Maria Noonan-McDermott's work is highly original; her creative and imaginative one-off pieces ensure her reputation for innovative and inspiring artwork that is eminently collectable and truly unique.
Maria currently works from her studio in Co. Leitrim. She has been painting for over twenty years and is well established and respected having contributed successfully to many gallery and public exhibitions throughout her career.
Her work, she says,
"...is about searching for the ultimate statement through colour and form, giving her paintings a voicebox for the inner soul we all possess, spiritual and mysterious."
Her style is distinctly recognisable as she paints with knife, confidently applying layer upon layer, enhancing the quality of light and movement and allowing the texture of the paint to play a key role in the structure of her work.
On show her paintings demand attention, grip the imagination and reward the curiosity of our senses.

Although I enjoy exploring with different techniques and materials, I primarily work in oils with an abstract style. Thick paint placed with a palette knife and strong geometric shapes are often found in my paintings.
After earning a degree in Business Admin/Marketing, I went on to several "Big Girl" corporate jobs and then owned and ran a design business in Hawaii, importing antiques from the mainland. My education was rounded out through the UC Berkeley Extension Art Program and the College of Marin Art and Design Program.

"Orchestrating Radiance" New Water Lily triptych oil painting by Niki Gulley
"Orchestrating Radiance" ©2013 Niki Gulley
Three 48" x 30" canvases to form a 48" x 90" triptych
Textured oil painting on wrap around canvas
I wanted this large-scale painting to be very uplifting, colorful and full of energy. Opting for warm colors and working with extremely thick paint and palette knives, I chose this lily pond reference from our visit to Monet's Gardens in Giverny, France. The grounds were breathtaking and I could actually see his paintings come to life. I was drawn to the energetic flow and yet calming serenity in this view, and I positioned the shoreline, shadows and reflections in a curving pattern to add to that mood. Dripping willow leaves frame the foreground as water lilies skim the pond's surface. The morning light peeking through the distant foliage added to a sense of mystery and promise that I wanted to capture in paint, and share with you that feeling of hope.
