Sweet Spring, by NY 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.

I was sitting in a grassy field above the harbor in Orleans, MA (Cape Cod) and saw this view. It's the view of the flowers and I liked it better than my view.

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Autumn Landscape, Daily Art, "Tree on Fire", 8x10x1.5" Oil
This time of the year, the mountains are where I want to be. This year, I have been very lucky to spend two months here.
I was inspired to paint this one from the ever evolving show I see each day. It brings back childhood memories of northern Ohio and Michigan.....minus the mountains, of course.
What more could I ask for? It gets better and better each day. Of course, in the mountains it seems the color is climbing to the sky.
One evening we spied a herd of Elk in the meadow. You can hear them bellowing in the woods this time of year.They come down to the meadows to feed at dusk and dawn.. This herd was one make and about 30 females.
As much as I love it here I will be ready to head south to Florida in the next few days. When the trees are stripped bare, and the cold winds are blowing, I will be enjoying the beautiful beaches. Life is good!
Thanks for visiting my blog today.

"Poppy Amongst Lavender" by Lynda Cookson
I've just returned from a visit to my daughter and three granddaughters in the UK. The eldest two girls are old enough to feel special about a day alone with granny. The seven year old, Evie, decided that a day at the Lavender farm, picking armfuls of lavender, was her choice .... but she forgot about all the bees! Never mind, calm reactions meant that the bees were soon forgotten and a paper bag was filled with not only purple lavender, but white lavender as well.
Amongst the lavender, wild Poppies were growing ... which brought this little study into being.
"Poppy Amongst Lavender" is available for sale HERE or click either of the two images below or their titles.

When I was a girl, my grandfather said I had "busy little hands." I'm a lot older now, but I stil have busy hands. I love to paint just about anything and my favorite medium is acrylic. I'm always enticed by the patterns and texture of fabric, which is why I taught myself how to sew. My husband is amazingly supportive and says I'm "crafty, crafty, oh-so-crafty."
I love to poke about in antique stores and my favorite shops are thrift stores and craft supply.
I named this blog after the understated beauty of the Tallgrass Prairie that can be found in the Flint Hills of Kansas. That's the heart of Tallgrass Design: Understated loveliness that provides comfort and inspiration. Thanks for stopping!

"My Rainbow Roots" by Lynda Cookson
This painting has long since been painted over! I came across it today and was reminded of the day I painted it. I was so homesick ... I was living in Ireland (which I loved) but am South African born and anyone from anywhere in Africa knows how it gets in your blood, reaches your heart, and just won't let go! I was longing for the bright colours and the smell of dust.
It was an expressive painting but not one which I felt could be sold ... so it hung around for a while, working its therapy, until the day came when I was brave enough to say goodbye and paint over it.

Small Abstract Painting, Daily Painting, Original Oil Abstract ,by Carol Schiff, 8x8x1.5"
It has been some time since I posted an abstract......this week I was in the mood to do some non-representative work.
I enjoy abstract, at times, as it gives me the opportunity to concentrate on composition and color relationships. No drawing distractions!
I started this piece by creating lots of texture on the canvas, followed by a coat of acrylic cad. red. Then the fun began as I brought out my oils and just pushed paint around until I was happy with the results. It was that same feeling I used to get when I would stomp around in rain puddles as a kid.
I know I will soon go back to representative work, but today, I am happy with this,
Thanks for reading my blog today.

Giclee Print on Sale, Wildlife Art Print, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "Playful Otter" by Carol Schiff, 12x16x.75" Art Print
Otters are one of those cute little animals that we all love to feel have human characteristics. The way they float on their backs, using their bellies for a table. I once read they link paws when they sleep, so they will not float away from each other.

Daily Painting, Sunset Painting, Small Oil Painting, "Marsh Sky", 11x14x1.5" Landscape Oil Painting
Life here in the mountains, of North Carolina, is a slower pace for me, But the days are quickly getting shorter and shorter. The leaves are beautiful, my favorite time of year! It reminds me of my childhood days in northern Ohio, burning leaves, apple cider, hay rides. I wonder if people still do those things.
I am still busy, painting commissions, but I managed to paint this 11x14x1.5" landscape, It is a study for a commission.
It is not easy capturing that "glow" from a beautiful sunset, and I am not sure I succeded here. but it is a start.
Thanks for reading my blog today.

Small Seascape Sunset Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" impasto painting
I don't know how you start your days, but, whenever possible, I love to grab my camera and a cup of coffee and head to the beach to watch the sun come up. With a morning like that, it is impossible to have a bad day!
I like texture in my art and one of my favorite tricks, is to take a failed painting, leave the texture and use the panel again. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
Many artists use their canvases more than once, but convential wisdom is you must sand it down. I
sometimes do that too, but if I want to do a little expressionism, I say, why destroy all that lovely texture?

Working Loose on Peonies, Bowl of Beauties by Marion Hedger
Bowl of Beauties floral still life
by Marion Hedger
Peony oil painting
20x20cm deep box canvas (1.5inch)
Edges painted purple
Painted with a palette knife.
SOLD
Obtaining soft edges with a palette knife is difficult, so I first painted the peonies followed by the background. Where I wanted soft edges, I swiped palette knife across the edge to soften it and mix the paint. Where necessary I added extra paint on the knife before swiping going from the petal into the background and sometimes vice versa.
