Florida Landscape Painting, Palm Tree Art, "Twins" 18x14" Oil
An ode to my home state...two stately palms residing on the banks of the intra-coastal waterway.
Painted with my favorite instrument.....a palette knife. I like the way I can transition from one color to another with my knives. I kept this painting quite smooth in comparison with many of my palette knife works

Christmas in Wachapreague, by Carrie Jacobson
Christmas in Wachapreague, by Carrie Jacobson
Oil on canvas, 10x10
At the height of the summer, 200 people live in our little town. In the middle of winter, I imagine it's less than half of that. But every holiday season, the volunteer fire department strings lights over Main Street. It's one of many small things that I love about our small town. I painted this on site at dusk on Christmas Day.
Here's my painting in the landscape, before the lights went on.
Please check out my website, Jacobson Arts, and my blog, The Accidental Artist (carriejacobson.blogspot.com).

Merry Christmas 2014
The big day is almost here and I wanted to take the opportunity to let you all know how much I appreciate your support throughout the year. My blog has had over 1,000 posts, something I never imaged when I started. I cannot express my gratitude those of you who are interested enough in my work to follow this blog. It is a very humbling experience,
In this, my last post before Christmas, I wish each and every one of you a wonderful holiday season and the best new year ever.
Christmas Holly by David Edwards
acrylic palette knife painting on canvas
by David Edwards
8x10 inches
Private Collection
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
I was born in Essex, England in 1944 and emigrated to Canada in 1957, residing first in Toronto and moving to Calgary in 1960. Now residing in Kelowna, British Columbia. Early influences on my style and career included J M W Turner and John Constable.
Later, the work of the late French minimalist Nicolas De Stael played the most significant role in my development as a painter. My landscape paintings are abstracted to simple forms relying on texture and tonal variations to create drama.
My still-life and flower works are painted with a palette knife and sometimes brush in acrylic either on canvass or panels. I build the shapes of the abstracted flowers, not being at all concerned with the type of flower, by layering subtle changes in tone and colour value, creating my own style of still-life. Most of my landscapes are painted with a brush although occasionally a palette knife may be used for effect.
My paintings hang in corporate and private collections across the world. I've had a number of solo and group exhibitions in Canada and the USA.
I'm a member of Landscape Artists International and the International Society of Acrylic Painters.

Painting Jackson Square with Niki Gulley, New Orleans Art Trek 2014
SOLD • 5" x 7" palette knife oil painting ©2014 Niki Gulley
New Orleans Art Trek with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams
Day 2: Jackson Square
On the second day of our New Orleans Art Trek, we set up our easels near Jackson Square to capture the architecture and energy of the city while the photographers went on to visit the downtown streets and infamous cemeteries. Some of my painters chose to record the whole street scene, while others focused in on interesting architectural details. I liked this tangled oak tree branch framing the coral wrought iron French Revival building behind it. Again, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! On the way to our second painting location, we fueled up on Po Boy sandwiches and refreshments.

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.
Tropical Landscape Art, Florida Painting, Florida Morning" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil Landscape
I work up eary, grabbed a cup of coffee and my camera, and headed to Florida's intracoastal waterway. In our area, it is the Indian River, and I arrived there just in time to see the sun break over the horizon.
When I had finished my photos, I drank my coffee and enjoyed that wonderful early morning atmosphere. You know the one, where it seems that only you and maybe a few birds are up and around. It is so still, the birds are starting to feed, and a small pod of dolphins are fishing off shore. Heaven!
I am often asked where I find my small frames. The answer is my favorite framer. Apparently it is standard procedure for framers to throw away the end pieces of moldings. My framer, who has a large following of artists, started using those end pieces to make up small standard sized frames. He always has a good selection and sells them for next to nothing. Perfect for starving artists!
If you are in Melbourne, FL area, his store is Ridley's Frames on Palm Bay Road and Troutman Ave. in Palm Bay. Stop in and load up on his treasures and tell him I sent you in :)
Happy Day!

Thick oils, bold colors and lots of texture make this painting a cheery one. It would look great framed up or sitting on an easel.

Lake Louise I and II by Natasa Vretenar
I feel grateful that I live in a beautiful Alberta! The scenery is so diverse here - from prairie to badlands to mountains - there is something new everywhere you go, and all within a few hours drive from Edmonton. We have been to the mountains several times and each time is a unique experience. There are so many beautiful places to see. This diptych is a painting of Lake Louise, probably the most visited lake in Canadian Rockies.
Lake Louise is truly beautiful. The mountains and Victoria glacier hovering above the lake are massive.
The only bad thing about Lake Louise is that there are thousands of tourist visiting during summer. When we got there, three big busses full of tourists just pulled up and dropped off their noisy cargo :). I found a spot with a flower bed planted with red and orange poppies and knew that some day I would paint it - I mean - poppies and mountain lake! What could be better?!?

Seascape Painting, Small Oil Painting, "The Green Sea" by Carol Schiff, 8x10x1.5"
Living on the coast of Florida, I love going to the beach for inspiration.
The mood and colors of the sea change drastically and often, so you never know which sea you will find.
Some days it is hot and hazy, or choppy or calm as a lake. The color may be blue, green, turquoise or maybe muddy. When a storm moves in, everything changes quickly.
The mood of my seascapes also change. Some of them are full of texture and color, some not so much. This one was quite a challenge for me, I just couldn't mix the colors I wanted or make my brush behave. It took a few tries, but eventually I created a painting I was happy with.

New Orleans Art Trek with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams
Day 1: Fabourg Marigny
Later that afternoon, the light had changed so much on our morning subjects, that some of us had to switch gears and look for a different idea. I loved this tangled oak tree and with the golden light coming on, I set to capturing its vibrant colors before the glow was gone. That evening we went out for a delicious Creole dinner of oysters, jambalaya, shrimp and grits, and other New Orleans favorites while swapping stories from the day and getting to know each other better.

Sparklers
Sparklers
8" x 10" oil on panel
Sparklers was a demonstration painting at my last palette knife painting workshop of the year that was all about painting Christmas. There's something satisfying in creating reflections of light on a curved surface. Especially more challenging when using a palette knife.
Its time to wind down a little for Christmas and allow some rest and relaxation with friends and family. I wish you all a safe, healthy and happy holiday season. I'm looking forward to many things in the new year - new paintings, new roads to travel, new challenges to solve and new friends to make. I hope you'll be among them and perhaps we'll meet at one of my 2015 art workshops.
You can find more of my work on my website Jeanette Jobson Fine Art, my blog, Illustrated Life and on Facebook and Twitter. I've just joined Instagram and am learning the curves. You can find me there at jeanettejobson.
I am a professional visual artist in northeastern Newfoundland and Labrador. I am inspired by the ocean and boats. Reflections and colour are a large part of my work as well as creating the nuances in values that make these things so unique.
I am an impressionist painter working with a palette knife, however, I do use other mediums for small paintings and create original prints in the form of linocuts and etchings.
You can find my larger works on my website www.jeanettejobson.com. The process of creating a piece of art is often shown on my blog http://illustratedlife.blogspot.com through works in progress, tutorials and sometimes giveaways! I also accept commissions and teach drawing and palette knife painting through workshops and privately.
You can also find me on Facebook (jeanette Jobson Fine Art) or Twitter (jeanettejobson). Drop by and say hello, I'd love to meet you and share my journey.

Still Life Bottle Painting, "Fluer de Lis" by Carol Schiff, 6x18x1.5" Oil
I like to collect bottles, so, it is a natural for me to do a still life bottle painting. I like the fluer de lis on the bottle as well as the bold gold color.
Painting this bottle was a challenge for me, but photographing the results was even more frustrating. Try as I might, I could not get the correct background color to show. The image above is much too blue while the one below seems more accurate.
Thank you for viewing my still life bottle painting today and please feel free to pin it if you so desire.

Blue Delphiniums and Peonies - Flower Paintings by Nancy Medina
Blue Delphiniums and Peonies
by Nancy Medina
12X16
Oil on Linen Panel
I have buckets and buckets of fresh flowers in the studio, but the delphiniums won out over the white tulips this evening, since they're hanging on by a .... petal! The tulips might give me one more day if I pour a little flower food in their water and whisper compliments into their little petal ears. The peonies - surprisingly - are still going strong! Although I did buy a new bundle the other day. These peonies may seem especially colorful, since Jill at the flower market told me they are from Chile. It's like a bilingual parade of blossoms around here! Ole!

It's spring.....sigh! The perfect time to paint flowers...........
I don't know about you, but I was beginning to think that winter would never go away! I now what you're thinking...."she lives in Florida???) Well. true, but even in Florida we have seen day after day of piles of snow and cars sliding off the road, although it was on the nightly news. We feel for those of you who had to suffer through it first hand and we are happy that it is gone.
So lets all celebrate a new beginning.
