This palette knife painting is straight off the easel. It is very wet, so I brought it home from the studio and it is now hanging in our den. It is colorful, full of texture and looks great above our leather sofa....the wall it is hanging on is white, with a leather sofa below. I like the injection of color on that wall...gives the room life. I have not named this piece yet. I have another aspen painting sitting in front of a fan drying at the studio. Thanks for viewing this blog, and have an artful day.
This little study is in my Moleskine...a fun little project where a group of artists exchange Moleskine books and we paint in each other's books. This is my first painting in my book...and I picked the theme, Holy Cow! This bovine beauty was fun to paint, although I love painting BIG on BIG canvases. I painted on a very large canvas yesterday at the studio....I hope to be able to post it soon. Thanks for viewing my blog.
The April issue of Western Art Collector is out! There is an article on the state of art in Texas, and the Artists of Texas are featured. As you can see, one of my aspen paintings, "Discover Aspens" is shown in this ad. It is a 36" x 36" Gallery Wrap Canvas palette knife painting in oils. This painting was sold last week at The Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas. Pick up your copy if you don't subscribe to Western Art Collector. Thanks so much for viewing this blog.
As you can see, I have several paintings going at one time...lots going on at the studio. I hope to get down there to paint today. I also have fifty canvases ready for some mixed media. Thanks for viewing this blog...
I am back, after two weeks of being away from painting. It is hard getting back into the swing of things. I hope to have something more than this to post after today at the studio. Some days the paint flies, and other days it doesn't. I have several commissions to work on, and a few paintings that I am painting for myself. So I am wishing you and especially myself to have an artful day!!!
