DIFFERENT STROKES

Always experimenting with how I make a painting is part of what keeps it fun and interesting.  When I'm working experimentally, I usually will use a small panel  (6x8; 8x10…), because I don't want to be fighting the feeling that I may just be "wasting paint".  Removing that pressure allows me to do anything I want.  Also, you can learn just as much experimenting small, and maybe more, since you can do series and multiples.  The purpose of these exercises is to evolve new things I'm interested in trying, such as different color, values, beginning, or as in this one, using thick paint.    MORNING MEADOW ©Jimmy Longacre 2018 8X10 oil on canvas panel Jimmy Longacre subjective realist landscape paintings MY WEBSITE MY BLOG: Paintbox & Easel GALLERY LINKS Fredericksburg Art Gallery_Fredericksburg, TX The Art Gallery at Wimberley_Wimberley, TX

New "Over the Hills II" Bluebonnet Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

"Over the Hills II"  ©2018 Niki Gulley SOLD  • 18" x 24" textured oil painting Just Sold!  Recently we loaded up the car and headed south to visit the Texas Hill Country to see the wildflowers in bloom. While not as prolific as some years, the thick patches we found did not disappoint. It's so exciting to see a massive carpet of blue across our usually green hills, and I love how the bluebonnets signal that spring has arrived! After delivering new art to my gallery, The Good Art Company, in Fredericksburg we ventured north to the Willow City Loop to take in the breathtaking vistas and plethora of wildflowers that normally fill the landscape there. I love this spot as you ascend hill after hill to arrive at the top with beautiful views of the valley below. Erecting my easel along the roadside, I set out to capture the bluebonnets framing the foreground in front of this spectacular view. The road on the right invites you to leisurely drive through the ...

Quince Impression, New Contemporary Landscape Painting by Sheri Jones

Quince Impression 8x10 oil on canvas This started as a plein air painting from the Ft Worth Botanical Gardens in late winter.  I dug it out and decided to slapped more paint on it.  I added more texture with the palette knife. I'm always surprised at the shapes and color you can build up with the knife.  I think I will stop for now and enjoy it's soft colors and lovely design.      This is available for purchase  http:\\www.sherijonesart.com Sheri@sherijonesart.com http://www.sheriart.blogspot.com.  Thank you for viewing my art.  Sheri Jones

INVEST IN YOUR JUDGEMENTS

A study exercise in better discrimination.  Reviewing old paintings that were hopefully examples  "failing forward" :),  I will make a list of everything I can think of that might improve the first version.  When past work has sat in the "oh well" pile for a long enough period of time, bringing it out for close evaluation can be surprising.  What makes it work best for me is doing the study again with a punch list of the things I want to work on.  Like: composition, eye-path, light/dark pattern, focus, color, values…  You get the idea.  Don't just do the mental exercise, invest in your judgements, and paint with a purpose.    TRANSFORMATION ©Jimmy Longacre 2018 8X10 oil on canvas panel Jimmy Longacre subjective realist landscape paintings MY WEBSITE MY BLOG: Paintbox & Easel GALLERY LINKS Fredericksburg Art Gallery_Fredericksburg, TX The Art Gallery at Wimberley_Wimberley, TX

New "Over the Hills III" Bluebonnet Painting by Texas Artist Niki Gulley

"Over the Hills III"  ©2018 Niki Gulley 16" x 20" textured oil painting Recently we loaded up the car and headed south to visit the Texas Hill Country to see the wildflowers in bloom. While not as prolific as some years, the thick patches we found did not disappoint. It's so exciting to see a massive carpet of blue across our usually green hills, and I love how the bluebonnets signal that spring has arrived! For our next stop on our Texas adventure, I decided to paint in Austin since the wildflowers were so prolific there. This field was covered with not only the bluebonnets that I love, but also the Indian Paintbrush and Indian Blanket that fills me with energy and joy when I see a field of all of that red! The blossoms formed such rhythmic rows as they iced the rolling hills that I set out to capture that harmony and movement in this piece. Painted with extremely thick oil paint and palette knives to achieve depth and texture, the resulting image c...
