Peonies, Please by Kay Wyne

Peonies, Please

24" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Still Life Painting

 "Peonies, Please" is now completed!  The beautiful white ceramic vase were provided by one of our studio mates, Robin, and the tablecloths were contributed by Sharon.  The vase alone was fun and pretty.  The arrangement of peonies were absolutely beautiful with stunning colors and beautifully shaped petals. I worked on this painting for a couple of days with the fresh flowers.  After getting called away from the studio, the flowers were long gone when I returned a couple of weeks later, so I worked from memory, and found a photograph to use as reference.  

When glancing at the arrangement, at first glance the peonies were pink.  But if you really studied them, they were magenta, pink, red, coral and shades of white.  Every petal was different and interesting.  I used a #20 Bright Monarch on the whole painting....it was a birthday gift from Sharon, so I felt like I couldn't go wrong with such a great brush in hand!  This contemporary still life is very painterly...you can see the brush strokes if you get up close to the canvas.  

This painting was a challenge between several artists, and it will be interesting to see what everyone created.  This painting is drying at the studio, and is available for purchase.  Contact ME for purchasing info.  Thanks for looking at my blog...Kay

Still Life by Kay Wyne

Still Life

6" x 8" Oil on RayMar Panel

This is a still life that I painted several years ago....and below is a quick study still life that I did yesterday.  I was comparing the two and going over my notes from yesterday's class with Qiang Huang.  He is a fabulous artist, and a very good instructor.

Still Life in progress

9" x 12" Oil on RayMar Panel

Here is my set-up at the Qiang Huang workshop...The photo has glare on it, but you can see the progress.  Painting still life forces you to really focus on the set-up, the composition, the color relationships and lighting.  Qiang is very deliberate with his brush strokes.  He puts on stroke down and leaves it....and it is always the correct color and value.  More photos tomorrow after today's class.  We are having a blast of winter weather in Dallas...ice and snow and freezing temperatures.  It has made it hard to get to the workshop.  More tomorrow.  Thanks, Kay

Grapes Durand - 26"x20 watercolor

GRAPES DURAND

by Debbie Cannatella

26"x20" (unfr) transparent watercolor

Fellow DPOT artist, Mollie Jones, loaned me this wonderful Durand crystal bowl and I had our local art group over my house for a meeting where I did a presentation on still setups focused on elements and principles of design. Then the group used several locations at my house to set up their own still life references and photographed various glass pieces I had, along with veggies and fruit, fabrics, etc. that I gathered for the event. It was loads of fun. This is a setup that I painted from that photography shoot with the crystal bowl and a Venitian glass vase.

Asters in Colorado by Debbie Grayson Lincoln

Colorado Asters 5 X 15 Oil on canvas board $115
Includes shipping and insurance

The snow has been falling all day and the wind has blown like nobody's business. Yesterday it was 79 degrees. I got sunburned working in the garden, and I was inspired to paint flowers!
I awoke this morning to blustery winds, 32 degrees and fat snowflakes, desperately trying to stick on the warm ground.
Mike and I were scheduled to ring the bell for the Salvation Army in front of the local WalMart at noon, so we journeyed into town through the blizzard.
Until today I had been rather glum about this year's Christmas, but standing in the blowing snow and wishing friends and neighbors "Merry Christmas" totally changed my mood. By the time we finished our assigned hour, had shopped and visited a friend in the nursing home, the roads were becoming dangerous so we headed slowly for home. We passed 6 cars in the ditch in our 12 mile journey. (All were being helped.) A long, cold afternoon in front of the fire, listening to old time radio programs, reading and painting loomed. Life is good.
We all need to remember that the reason for Christmas is NOT to have a contest for who gets the biggest pile of goodies that hold our interest for 5 minutes. We need to remember that God only wants us to be more like him every day of the year - giving and FORgiving. And every time we do so, we get closer to him.
God bless ya'll this Christmas and remember to keep laughing at Al Gore - Global Warming hasn't hit Texas yet!
Ephesians 4:32
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
