In October about 18 of us enjoyed an abstract workshop in Granbury TX with Denton's Carolyn Riegelman. Check my blog post HERE to read more about the workshop. Now I've got some Canvas by Canvas friends who are wanting a "texture day" workshop so out to buy more Venetian Plaster and more paint. What fun.  I love red paintings and they just remind me of Christmas, birthdays and happy celebrations. 

If you look closely you will see the painting is not signed on the front so the owner can hang it in several ways. I did not put hanging hardware on it for the same reason and it can be hung over two nails in the wall and will fit flush up against the wall.
Available at my gallery at Daily Paintworks.

Choosing Your Paint Brushes and Caring for Them

The paint brush is an important tool because it is through the paint brush that the painter expresses his or her emotions.

Santa Fe Adobe ~ Plein Air Painting by Texas Daily Painter Nancy Standlee

 

"Santa Fe Adobe"

11" x 14" 

acrylic on board

Framed in a 3" gold leaf plein air frame

In August I painted plein air in Santa Fe with Dallas instructor Niki Gulley. She chose this great spot  just off Canyon Road. The street was shady and lined with trees and friendly folks were going about their daily lives. They would come out of their houses periodically to see the progress of our paintings. Painting with a group gave me courage to think I might do this on my own someday but it is always so enjoyable being within shouting distan ce with some friends. 

I ordered the plein air gold frame from ASW and the painting will be delivered to Visual Expressions Art  Gallery for a fall show. Reception is Friday, November 13, 7-9 and will hang until December 2, 2011.

Acrylic Floral on Canvas ~ "Lavender Blue and Rosemary Green" by Texas Daily Painter Nancy Standlee

"Lavender Blue and Rosemary Green"

12x12x1.5 acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas

This colorful floral with negative painting was first posted HERE and it has a name change and a new photo and is now posted for sale at my Daily Paintworks Gallery. This acrylic painting has some stencil, pencil and sgraffito work.

The painting has a lot of lavender in it and I thought about titles with "lavender blue..dilly, dilly". Remember that song?  Wikipedia has a nice discussion about the old lyrics dating from the 1600's and I chose a line from a later nursery song.
