Minnow and Toad - Pug Brothers Custom Pet Portrait by Nancy Medina 20X20 Oil on Canvas Custom Pet Portrait nancy@nancymedina.com N ancy Medina Web Site Nancy Medina Art Blog The best way to get a good pet portrait is to meet your subjects in person. I brought my camera and paid a visit to their home to get some good photos of Minnow and Toad, pug brothers. You can see photos of the two rambunctious energetic little guys on my art blog - the greatest bonus in this assignment - getting kisses from both the four-footed models!

this is the last of the coffee series. i really enjoyed playing with compositions. freedom of movement with the paint was also a very important part of the series. they are all for sale please contact me at greenrobinstudio@swbell.net for information to purchase.

Sunny Days by Sheri Jones 10 x 10 Acrylic on Canvas While painting this in the studio this week I was reminded of the sunny hot summer when I photographed this beauty in my garden.

8" x 10" pastel by Niki Gulley Here is a home portrait I recently completed for a Christmas gift. It was challenging capturing all of the architectural details of the house in an 8" x 10" pastel, but I'm pleased with how it turned out and fortunately the home owner loved it, too! If interested in commissioning me to create a unique painting or pastel, contact me at Niki@NikiGulley.com. NikiGulley.com

This painting has a new home in Illinois....this image is a little different from many of my paintings....I toned the color down. It is peaceful. Not alot of movement. I wanted the viewer to imagine that he or she is out on the Texas landscape...far from the city or the hussle and bussle of anyone. The grazing sheep are images that don't have alot of detail because they are small compared to the vast landscape. The canvas has big, open sky on the painting, so I am sure that some people could imagine this being in Montana or somewhere out west. (At least west of Dallas.) My inspiration for this painting was an old photograph out of an album....I really don't know where the pic was taken, and I added the sheep for interest. I have painted three paintings with sheep, and hope to do more. Thanks for viewing this blog, and I will be painting at the studio today and hope to post the rooster that I started yesterday. Dallas is in for more snow and bad weather, so I hope that I can get...

The Bridge Oil on 18" x 18" Gallery Wrap Canvas This painting was inspired by a photograph my husband took as we were sitting in traffic ready to cross the the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. It was a clear, windy day and we had a great time traveling around the California coast! I had researched the color of the bridge...according to my findings, the bridge is painted with a Sherwin Williams color #6328, Fireweed. I went to a local Sherwin Williams to check out this Fireweed color....and I really don't think the bridge is actually Fireweed. According to the paint swatches, Fireweed is a deep, rusty brick red....almost brown. So I mixed my own colors to what I remember and according to our photographs. This painting has a new home in Plano, Texas...it was a Christmas gift to a friend who traveled with us to California. Fun trip, good memories.....so I hope that this painting will be a reminder of our trip when it is viewed. Thanks for viewing this blog, and feel fre...

Limes, Lavender and Sunflowers by Nancy Medina 16X20 Oil on Linen Board Available: Daily Painters Gallery nancy@nancymedina.com Nancy Medina Web Site Nancy Medina Art Blog Limes, Lavender and Sunflowers was a painting that had a name before it was painted. Limes and Lavender sounded like the perfect title for a painting. I tossed in a slice of lemon, too, because things are better with a little twist.

Olives, Pansies and Berries by Sheri Jones 12 x 12 Acrylic on canvas I painted this on Saturday after all the distractions of the holidays were behind me. I enjoyed the process of setting this still life up in the studio. Painting with acrylics on canvas was a different and challenging experience. I like that it drys quicker, but will probably go back to my trusty oils. Available $150.00 Sheri@sheriart.net Sheriart.net Sheriart.blogspot.com ******************************************************

Jackson Hole Chapel Oil on Linen 9" x 12" This is the last painting I will post of the chapel...I like the front door open, so the eye looks thru the building, all the way back to the landscape. At one time I had a path painted to the front door, but decided that it detracted from the chapel. This painting is very handsome in a dark wood frame with a gold liner.

This small 6"x4" oil painting traveled all the way to Europe and back.  I sent it as an exchange to an artist in Europe and the address was wrong. She emailed and said she did not receive so I painted another one for her. She got the new painting and about 3 weeks later this one came back. All in all about 3 months   This one is offered here on my web site BarbaraHaviland We had a wonderful Christmas and hope you did too. Barbara

"Honor Guards", is a Medium size painting, 18"x 24", oil on canvas, unframed. Although reworked recently, this medium size painting was created in July, out on location. It was a foggy afternoon/evening. The light source was muted and unchanging. I was able to work for much more than my 2 hour limit without fear of losing my initial vision due to shadows moving. I have always loved to paint tall daylilies and these were as tall as me. I could look straight at them instead of down upon them, giving me opportunity to put in their landscaped background, the Polly Hill Arboretum ...

Each day that I create a new painting it will be sent to your email box. Other works found at Thaw Malin Art

"Crystal Mill" ©2009 Niki Gulley 14" x 11" oil painting Another snow scene - this one was inspired from a trip to Colorado.

Fredericksburg Hill Country Lane 24X24 Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas nancy@nancymedina.com Available: Daily Painters Gallery Nancy Medina Web Site Nancy Medina Art Blog Hill Country Lane is a rendition of the quiet old roads that cross the miles of hills around Fredericksburg, Texas. There are many historic German stone houses back in these settlements and I often wonder if any of my father's ancestors are among the original Becker family residents. The white Texas stone can be seen in the old buildings and banks downtown as well as in these old farmhouses. I love Fredericksburg at Christmas, and we always bring the pugs when we visit there to deliver art to The Good Art Company Gallery on Main Street .

"Winter's Calm" ©2009 Niki Gulley pastel 16" x 20" This pastel was inspired by one of our few snowfalls in Dallas a few years ago. I bundled up and ran out with my camera in the morning to capture the moment before the sun melted all of the snow later that day. Having grown up in Chicago, I love the beauty and peacefulness from the first snowfall of the year. I just prefer living here so that it doesn't last more than a day and there's no shoveling involved! Visit my website NikiGulley.com Or e-mail me for more information at Niki@NikiGulley.com.
