Flow Blue and Pansies by Judy Crowe

Flow Blue and Pansies  o/l 10x10

I love to paint pansies.  Pansies and roses are probably my favorite flowers.  I like sunflowers too but pansies are so colorful.  Color is king I think.  :)  This is one of my few flow blue pieces.  Wish I had more but they are pretty expensive so I buy the Wabi Sabi ones.  I pick these up where I can.  Usually they are chipped or the lid is missing or something.  This sugar bowl has no lid but it makes a perfect flower pot.  I like Wabi Sabi things.  If you don't know what Wabi Sabi means, here it is in a nutshell:  Wabi-Sabi is a traditional Japanese idea based on the acceptance of transience. It also means seeing beauty in imperfection, impermanence, incompletion and decay. This sort of beauty can be found both in nature and in man-made things.

Morning Roses by Judy Crowe

Morning Roses 7x5

Wow is life busy.  I almost made the mistake of saying, particularly if you have a family, but I know that isn't necessarily the case.  If you live in today's world and are trying to make a living-whether you have a family or not, you are most probably as busy as I am.  I so would like to move from Houston and have a cottage in the country with a lovely studio!  I am praying for that for the future.  Right now, today, though...I painted.  Yeah.  Here is the painting I produced and I hope you like it.  It is up for bid and this is the first of just a few paintings that I have left to finish my 50/50 project.  I will be counting today to see what I need to do to finish but I think it's about 10...I'll be trying to get these online and up for sale between now and Christmas.  Take care out there!  And as always, thanks for letting me in on your cyber world.

The Austrian Creamer by Judy Crowe

The Austrian Creamer 5x5 oil on gatorboard panel

The Austrian Creamer

I love to collect old dishes and I have several of these small china sugar bowls, creamers, and tea cups.  Some are so intricate and it is a real challenge to paint them and get the character of each one.  This one is so pretty and paper thin, I wish you could see it in person!  It's from Austria according to the lady I purchased it from.  Thanks for visiting my blog.  Please keep all the folks here in Texas in your prayers.  So many homes have been destroyed.  We need some rain so badly...

Porcelain and Roses by Judy Crowe

7x5 oil on panel

Well, I have learned about another Blog Radio show that I think might be interesting.  So I am attaching the link here for anyone that might be interested:  http://www.artistmentorsonline.com/?cat=44.  It is hosted by Kevin MacPherson and Linda Fisler and also looks promising to inspire artists.  I love it!  Today I actually listened to Clint Watson and also Kevin MacPherson on the blog radio program mentioned a few days ago…look for that info below…anyway, both programs were excellent but I’ve decided to listen at lunch or at night though…no more listening while painting. 

The above link FYI has an article about our current economy which I find interesting…so lest you think you are the only one out there struggling to buy materials, etc., read this article.  Whether you are an artist or not, you might find these articles and radio shows pretty interesting…a look into the mind of an artist.  Take care, and as always, thanks for visiting my blog.  Stay tuned this week because I’d like to show you my color experimentations.  I am learning some things by doing these.  Tomorrow I am painting big!

Morning Roses by Judy Crowe

Morning Roses 7x5 oil on panel

Painting early in the morning is quickly becoming a favorite time of day for me because it's cool and quiet in the studio.  I have several rose bushes and this one is a knock out rose.  This summer is so hot, they tend to be smaller but very pretty.  Thanks for looking!

16x20 oil on linen panel

I usually don't paint this large outdoors but I decided this day I would try and was pretty happy that I did complete this 16x20 in one sitting. I think I will be doing this more often because it forces you to work quickly and to not be able to 'futz' with too many details. Is that a word?

It's beautiful this spring....this painting was done at The Antique Rose Emporium, Independence, Texas. Thanks for looking. If you are interested in purchasing, please email me.

PS. For anyone that lives in the Houston area, I will be at The Arbor Gate this weekend (Saturday, My 7) painting and selling some of my prints, small watercolor sketches (for next to nothing!) of Texas Wildflowers from 9 to 4. Lot's going on there this weekend. The Arbor Gate has a website www.arborgate.com It's located just west of FM 249 on FM 2920 in Tomball, Texas. It's so cute out there! Reminds me of the Antique Rose Emporium~
