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.
Typically, oil painters need two kinds of brushes. One is stiff and the other is soft. A painter usually has a range of sizes for both types of brushes.
The stiff brushes [...]

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.

Torn Paper Collage Workshop ~ Graham TX ~ Old Post Office Museum and Art Center by Texas Daily Painter Nancy Standlee

These are two torn paper collages of my children that were used as examples in the Torn Paper Collage at the Old Post Office Museum and Art Center, Graham, TX, October 7 and 8th.My demo which is not finished is of my third child and oldest.  Cindy Parker, one of the Canvas by Canvas members, and her husband, Danny were instrumental in getting this workshop together. 

Cindy used to live in Arlington and she would take us everywhere in her SUV and we loved riding with her because she never got mad when we gave her wrong directions. She is a great painter and was always willing to help one of us with our drawing and she was a hard CBC worker. One day we went to Graham to hang a show, these two (Cindy and Danny) were introduced, their eyes locked on each other, she stopped working, forgot all about us and began a wonderful new life.These two were soon married, she moved to Graham and we don't feel like we've lost her but gained a whole new set of Graham friends through the Parkers. Canv as by Canvas will have a spring show at the museum. 

Paper was just not the medium for Danny as he likes to work in welded metal sculpture and uses random pieces of metal and found art. He has had several solo shows in the area.

 Two of Danny Parker's Sculpture

My next two day collage workshop will be in Granbury November 29 and 30. If you are interested sign up with Diana Littlejohn littlejohndj@charter.net. You don't have to be an artist to attend, but a good attitude willing to take a risk and experiment and enjoy tearing and gluing paper while learning a new technique. Also drop by the Shanley House and see the Fall Festival Juried Show sometime during the month. I have 3 pieces in the show and won honorable mention with one.

The Arlington Museum of Art presents the annual Artist's Showcase and the 6 week exhibit celebrates the vitality of visual art in the metroplex during October and November.The exhibit is varied in media and subject matter and works by amateur and professional artists from the community can be seen in the Main Gallery and Mezzanine. It is located at 201 West Main in Arlington. I have 2 pieces in the show.

Below is a slide show from Smilebox of some of the images from the collage workshop and my first time to use this program. I had used slide.com but they are not in business anymore. The music can be muted.

Where Van Gogh?s Art Reached Its Zenith

According to Vincent van Gogh?s friend Paul Gauguin, Vincent Van Gogh was disorderly and messy. His mind was no different. Disorderly and messy, his mind experienced its first major bout with madness in 1888 to 1889. It was while staying in Arles during this time period that he infamously cut off his ear after an [...]

Kathleen Elsey Workshop 2, Day 3, Sonoma, CA ~ Kunde Winery ~ Texas Daily Painter Nancy Standlee

"Kunde Winery"

9x12 acrylic on birch panel 

I'm back home in Texas writing around a mail cluttered kitchen table between a mix of California and Texas time and wanting to paint but know there are other agenda items. I'm not rushing into anything just going to gentl y ease back into the schedule.

So what do I think about plein air? It would certainly be a go if painting in beautiful Sonoma climate of 70 and 80 degrees with these magnificent pastoral scenes. As I examine the above painting I find the white rose bush is almost as large as the crepe myrtle tree and it will need a little "pruning". Each vineyard has an abundance of rose plants in every color protecting each row partly tradition and as an early disease warning. In humid areas the roses and vines are susceptible to certain mildew and fungal diseases with the rose being the more delicate and the disease will show up in the rose first. 

We painted at the Kunde Family Estate Winery and it was a pleasure and we were invited to the tasting room for a complementary wine tasting about noon. My turkey sandwich tasted pretty blah after wine and chocolate.

It can be very challenging to paint outdoors but when the weather cooperates and a few friends are in shouting distance it was a thrill and a treasured memory. 

Painting advice from Kathleen Elsey, our instructor. "Fix your biggest problem first." Also she likes to start with fresh colors each day. I didn't and loaded up my palette early back in the motel room before we went out and used off the same mixtures all three days. In fact, I had enough paint left over to tone extra boards late one night before I left. I wrapped each board with a piece of parchment paper so the gesso/or painted panels would not stick together. Kathleen advised  not to rush into our painting but bond with the land, walk around, look through vie w finders, take some photos, sketch thumbnails and value sketches.

Equipment:

I am using the EasyL Pro from Art Essentials. When I painted in Santa Fe with Niki Gulley she was using one and recommended it and the Masterson Sta Wet Palette sits on top.

Here is the22"  rolling back pack from Costco by Ful I used as a carry on and put the wooden box in it and carried the tripod in the checked luggage along with a ll the paints that I put in a Glad plastic storage bowl with more plastic. With a broken foot, I knew I'd want to sit a lot so I loved my new camp chair by GCI. 

I decided on 1/4" birch plywood panels, 4 x 8 sheets, for the support to paint on that Niki liked also as they are lightweight. My neighborhood Home Depot, N. Arlington #554, was so kind and cut them for me in 8x10, 9x12, 11x14, 12x16. I sanded the edges slightly and gessoed each one with the Utrecht's Pro gesso.
I also had a backpack as my "purse" with laptop and ticket, etc. in it and a 29" piece of luggage so I was so appreciative of the wheelchair help provided by American Airlines.

This is the easel Kathleen likes. It's a Soltek.

We painted at Oak Hill Farms on Sunday and I posted the painting on my blog. I wrote and asked the name of the magenta plant that was so beautiful.  Stacey Tuel replied it is amaranth as in the grain and they grow it as an ornamental. Check out their blog with my painting included. Thanks again for hosting our group.

On Monday we painted at the Matanzas Creek Winery and I think I failed to give the link. There are some lovely photos of the lavender on the link.

In the next post I'll try to add a slide show of some of the students paintings from the 3 days plein air. Thanks for visiting my blog and check out Sonoma wine country. It is a beautiful place with friendly people.

Textured Acrylic Mixed Media Abstract Triptych ~ "One Common Thread" ~ by Texas Daily Painter Nancy Standlee

"One Common Thread" 11068

30 x 24 in and 2 12" squares Triptych

Acrylic Textured Mixed Media Abstract

I picked up the larger piece Saturday from the Arlington Museum Show, decided I'd missed this companion piece to the two smaller paintings and hung the triptych in my entry hall last night where they will stay for awhile. I had been wanting to do a red painting for some time and wishes were granted in Granbury at the Carolyn Riegelman workshop. One difference, my walls aren't black but I thought these looked more dramatic against a black backdrop with the heavy textured red painting.

Green Bay Packer ~ Aaron Rodgers ~ Torn Paper Collage Painting ~ Empty Easel Article by Texas Daily Painter Nancy Standlee

"Aaron Rodgers ~ Green Bay Packer"

Torn Paper Collage Painting
30" x 24" x 1 1/2"on gallery wrapped canvas

This piece was done for a Sport Show for a gallery opening during Super Bowl week and with a lot of snow and ice there were some problems of attendance and closings. Good that it didn't sell as some of the text combined to make an objectionable word if read in one direction - something that happens when you are in the midst of grabbing up pieces of paper for their design qualities instead of their readability. Now it has been repaired with an additional piece of cheese!

I submitted an article,"Go One Step Beyond Painting - Create a Contemporary Collage" to Empty Easel and it is posted HERE on their site. Empty Easel is an online art magazine with practical advice, tips and tu torials for creating and selling art. Write an article or send in you r favorite art tip and share.

If you'd like to read about other contemporary collage artists I've listed some of the ones I'm familiar with on my blog post HERE. On the above painting I've let some of the acrylic background show, used magazine papers and fewer hand painted pieces. It's your choice to what suits your design the best. With this process you will have fewer paint covered clothes but your house can begin to look like a paper confetti egg toss.

Contemporary Mixed Media Abstract Painting with Epoxy Resin Glaze ~ Antique Roses" by Texas Daily Painter Nancy Standlee

 "Antique Roses" 11057

8x8x1.5" Mixed Media Abstract Painting with Epoxy Resin Glaze 

The epoxy resin glaze gives a clear glass-like finish with lots of depth and it enhances all the colors. These pieces are more beautiful in p erson than what a photograph could ever present. There are several steps that need to be followed in sequence and the resin cures in 8 hours, hardens to full strength in 72 hours. The piece has prepared Tyvek, embellished foils, acrylic paint, Yupo collage and sand/gravel painted gold.

A side view of the cradle I made after 3 trips to Home Depot trying to find the correct wood, finding the right cutting tool, and lots of emails to the artist who introduced me to this mixed media way of work ing, Carol Nelson. I'm returning one tool and ended up cutting with a jigsaw that required a lot of patching with modeling paste!! I think in terms of time I would be better off buying ready made Ampersand gesso panels. It was a big learning curve. Now do I really need to buy a table saw? That would require me cleaning out the garage to find a place to put it and with it 103 in Texas I'll probably keep using the jigsaw for awhile. I used an extension cord and set up shop out in the back yard and I made cradles all day long yesterday.

The Great Wave by Hokusai

Fabulous Masterpieces was asked to paint a fine art reproduction oil painting of The Great Wave by Hokusai for customers in Australia but with a twist. We were asked to paint a fine art reproduction of The Great Wave using two different paintings by Hokusai. The artist was asked to base the art reproduction on the painting below with the golden sky, called A Coloured Version of the Big Wave (minus the birds) but use the colours seen in Hokusai’s The Great Wave. We’ve just been sent an insitu photograph of the finished fine art replica and I thought I?d show you what it looks like. The Great Wave by Japanese artist, Hokusai was originally a wood block print. The Great Wave was actually the first in a series of 36 views of Mount Fiji and is not only Hokusai?s most famous work but arguably one of the most recognized works of Japanese art in the world. The original wood cut of Hokusai’s The Great Wave is actually quite small, it only measures 25.4 cm x 37.1 cm a
nd can be found at the Hakone Museum in Japan.  Fabulous Masterpieces‘ art reproduction of The Great Wave, which you can see in the photo, was made-to-measure to fit the client’s wall space and measured 220 cm x 151 cm. Hokusai (1760 – 1849) loved to depict water in motion and in this seascape, even though it’s stormy, the sun is shining. It is a lovely painting! Would you like to know about The Great Wave by Hokusai?

The Path to the Pink House

Finally  (maybe?)  this painting is complete. I am taking it off of the easel at any rate and giving it a rest, as I feel like I have been looking at it for so long  that I can’t see it properly any more.

“Path to the Pink House”
Oil on Canvas, 18×24″
To purchase, please contact me!

This is one of the many wildly colorful garden paths leading up to “The Pink House” (Monet’s).  I softened the house and left out some of the finer detail because I wanted it to sit back more in the painting. The scene is set in the diffused light that was so typical of the humid atmosphere we experienced during our visit to Giverny.
