Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

The reference for this landscape was taken from google maps.  I painted it for Bill Guffey's site,  Virtual Paintout .  Exploring and painting through this technique is fun and a good way to warm up when feeling a bit rusty with the subject.

"Autumn Reflections" ©2015 Niki Gulley 18" x 48" textured oil painting on gallery wrap canvas In Autumn Reflections, I wanted to give you the feeling of a beautiful, peaceful retreat on a colorful autumn day. To create that feeling of being immersed in nature, I chose this long panorama format so that the sanctuary is completely engulfed in fall foliage, a perfect escape from bustling city life. Loaded with uplifting color, still waters suggest a calming effect. One small ripple in the lake's distance lets you know that some ducks just swam by and you are surrounded by wildlife, not a care in the world. If you're in the Dallas area this coming weekend and you'd like to see Autumn Reflections and more of my palette knife paintings in person, please stop by my booth at the Cottonwood Art Festival.

© AnnHoffpauir This majestic Live Oak is in Louisiana.  This tree must have lived through some amazing times.  I know for a fact that it survived Hurricane Ike in 2008.  The water under this tree was around ten feet deep at the time of that devastating storm.  I wonder what else it has lived through? http://www.ArtworkbyAnn.com

Gulf Stream Lights by Mark Nesmith Oil on Canvas 12" x 24" 2015 Click  here  to purchase this painting. I never grow tired of the brilliant sunsets at the coast. I love the way the world dissolves with bursts of color in the clouds and reflected on the ripples of the waves. This 12" x 24" oil painting on canvas is titled "Gulf Stream Lights"and is full of thick, juicy impastos of paint and lush layers of color. "Gulf Stream Lights" was recently featured as part of my exhibition for the Galveston Art Walk at Third Coast Gallery on the island.

M.Allison 'Flowers in the Forest' Original Contemporary Abstract Oil Painting Flowers in the Forest 48 X48 oil and oil pastel M.Allison mallisonartist.com   allison@mallisonartist What's it called - Sfumato?  Well it's the blurring of edges in a painting and I love to paint using this technique.  To me it gives the illusion of reality or the illusion of abstract.  Read what you  want to and your imagination can run away with you!

Delightful Beginnings 9x12 oil on canvas I created this from a photo I took while riding to work.

Looking Forward to Tomorrow 20" x 20" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Floral Still Life Today is  Day #29 in the 30/30 Paint Challenge I just pulled this canvas off my easel in the studio.  It is abstract, colorful and has thick brushstrokes of paint.  I have a new "thing" with this still life series...I put a "halo" in the composition...actually I decided to go with five of them.  I scratch paint off with a tool, then go in and put a color representing a pedal or part of the arrangement falling off.  I have put in two colors for each halo.  There are five halos in this painting.  The floral arrangement is busy and whimsical...giving this piece a fun and happy feel.  The edges of this canvas are painted, so framing is not necessary.  Contact  Kay  for more information on "Looking Forward to Tomorrow".  Thanks, Kay

    All in Time  30"x30"x1.5 Mixed media on canvas Sold   I like to keep a record of the work I've done over the years.  I think it's important to go back once in a while to see what progress has been made and whether to revive some "old" ideas from time to time. This painting was done in 2008.  At the time, I was doing a lot of work with gold leaf and stenciling.  This particular painting has layers of thin washes that reveal under-lying color and texture.

“Scenic Route” ©2015 Niki Gulley SOLD •  Textured Oil Painting on wrap around canvas • 20” x 60” My husband and I love exploring the back roads whenever we’re en route somewhere. We always discover such interesting places, and the scenery is so much more picturesque than along the highway. It’s fun to slow down and enjoy the journey with no agenda, which is what I had in mind when I painted “Scenic Route,” a beautiful autumn drive through the winding fall foliage.

Sometimes I feel like painting but do not feel like starting a large piece. These do the trick. I started painting on these tiny canvases when a friend asked for a painting to place next to her dog's urn. Tiny pet portraits have been, by far, my most popular painting. I then started painting other subjects on them These two paintings are created with acrylic paint and gel medium for texture. When purchased, they come with a small easel for display. These are perfect for small spaces. To see more of my mini paintings for sale visit my  Etsy shop. www.melissaatorresart.com

Reflections At Hermann Park - Original Photography by Texas Contemporary Artist Denise Bossarte Reflections at +Hermann Park   © Denise Bossarte Artist of Texas Signature Member I love these paddle boats that you can take into the lake by the Houston Zoo.

"Interplay" ©2015 by Niki Gulley  36" x 48" original textured oil painting Flickering autumn leaves seem to almost dance in a gentle breeze. I wanted this scene to be filled with movement and energy, so I incorporated a lot of diagonal and curving shapes in the design to suggest that feeling. Contrasting short staccato strokes against blended passages with my palette knives, also increase that sense of motion. I hope you, too, can feel the excitement of walking through the woods on a beautiful fall day, letting your cares slip away and your spirit being invigorated.

This one was developed from a smaller plein air sketch.   For those of you who are interested, this will be the subject of some of my workshops this coming year.  I'll post the schedule in November.  I'm on my way to southern Colorado for two weeks of painting.  When I return, I have a workshop in Georgetown, Texas.  Then, the En Plein Air Texas, annual competition in San Angelo.

"Miss Kim" by Mark Nesmith Oil on Canvas 12" x 12" 2015 Click  here  to purchase this painting. A little over a year ago my sweetheart Elizabeth was manager of the Down Under Bar & Grill at the Stingaree at Crystal Beach. I was fortunate enough to spend lots of time out at Bolivar that summer. The Stingaree Restaurant and marina is a must see whenever you're at Crystal Beach. They've got good food, but what really brings me back are the sights and sounds of the marina. The Miss Kim is always docked just in front of the Down Under (the bar and grill underneath the Stingaree). I've painted her once before at dusk. Here I've tried to capture the incredible reflection she casts at sunset. I worked on this off and on for several days this week and finished this afternoon. It's always a challenge balancing the hard edges and details necessary to be convincing with a subject like this with my love of lose paint and vibrant color, but I'm p...

6 X 8 Oil on Gessoed MDF Board $125 includes shipping in U.S. We are rich in cattle right now - at least by this small farm's standards. Both cows have 2 LARGE calves they are feeding, and it's time for a couple of them to go to other pastures. This little fellow has been a favorite - always friendly and inquisitive with everything around him.  I will miss him when he's gone. He can come home to you, though!
