Gingko Leaves Abstract Oil Painting by Hellenne Vermillion

24" h x 30" w oil on canvas

 This might be my last gingko leaves painting for a while. This one is different from my usual darker contrasting background paintings. It has a little kimono design influence in it.

I'm moving on to painting trees next.

Bulldog Bling by Kathy Cousart

 Bulldog Bling

8 x 10 Oil on Linen

Had to find my blingiest bulldog to ring in the new year with.  This dawg is hunting a party and then a bowl game.  Perhaps Coach Richt would appreciate if we reverse that order and play great in the bowl game on Monday and then party!  Go Dawgs!

This bulldog was put through his paces with several backgrounds.  I kept changing it up like football plays in a scrimmage.  Jim came in for the final touchdown play with a few strategic smears in all that gorgeous paint I had down.  Loved it and glad I had help getting where I was trying to go!

Thanks to all of you that have been a special part of my journey this year.  Happy New Year to everyone and I look forward to another amazing year growing as an artist.

Bulldog Elf (wanna be) Wishes by Kathy Cousart

Bulldog Elf (wanna be) Wishes

8 x 8 Oil on Linen

This Bulldog Elf (wanna be) has all kinds of wishes for the holiday season for all our friends and followers.  I am so thankful for all the fellowship, love and support I have had along the way this year.  I started the year at a Leslie and Dreama workshop  and ended it winning a consultation from Leslie in her 12 Days of Christmas Give Away.  I am thrilled and thankful and just when I am ready to launch a new website.  Suhh-weet!!  

I have been on a warp speed journey and am so thankful to have gotten to learn from teachers like Nancy Franke and Carol Marine and am now in a Jim Richards mentoring group.  The consistent immersed instruction over the last 6 months has made an incredible difference in my art.  I can't wait to see what 2012 brings and look forward to sharing the journey with you all.   

Thank you everyone for teaching me, believing in me, following, collecting my art and most importantly being a friend.  My wish to you all is simply for Merry Everything and Happy Always!

There was a Santa siting at my house today! I caught site of him climbing down off my roof and suspect that before Santa comes down anyone's chimney, he does a preliminary inspection! I immediately got out my palette and paint brushes to describe for you what I have seen!!! If you have a chimney, make sure the damper is open and keep your eyes open for surprises the next couple of days!

Morning Has Broken by Kathy Cousart

Morning Has Broken

11 x 14 Oil on Linen

$250.00

DPW Auction Click Here

I have always loved early mornings out on the golf course just admiring the natural beauty and watching the day get started.  Favorite place to do that is on the Seaside Golf Course at Sea Island.  Many of you may recognize their signature flagstick which is a red wicker basket.  This painting is one of my favorites and I am really pleased with the way it turned out.  I had done a small study and worked from that along with teacher Jim Richards and learned so much. 

This painting made me think of that Cat Stephens song.   I think he said and sang it beautifully.

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the word

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day

I figured I would post the bigger version from the study of the popcorn clouds over the marsh being as that was how I am working.  Loved doing these back to back and working small to then larger.  This water just draws you in and is gorgeous.  I worked hard to get the different shifts in it.  Jim and I talked about how important edges are and I went back and reread that chapter in the Carlson book- yes, they are!  Look at those clouds and check out the shadows and edges in them.  This is a Big Kernel of a Keeper and I hope someone loves it like I do.  Check out the DPW auction above...they are fun!

Who's your hero?  Of course mine are artists.  So it was appropriate to name my series of roosters after all the masters.  Guess I will have to do a series of hens and name them after the female artists I admire.  What do you think?

Madonna and Child by Shijun Munns

Madonna and Child

Oil on canvas board

The beautiful mother and son has been a theme for artists since ancient times. The spirit of the holiday season seems to inspire this eternal idea out of me again and again. This is our most joyful time of year in the west and I hope this painting portrays a little of the joy and love of the Christmas passion for family love. Merry Christmas to all.  

Prints are available. For information contact the artist, artofshijun@gmail.com

Pastel by Marsha Hamby Savage

 "Joyful Exhuberance"

Pastel -- 8" x 10"

I have started a new series of paintings: waves .... from the perspective of standing in the ocean. It was so much fun for several days standing there and watching the waves and taking photos of them in every stage of their coming ashore. These waves are from New Smryna Beach, Florida, which is one of my favorite places to vacation. I hope you enjoy this first one in the series!

Peace in Progress by Cheryl Sameit

Cheryl Sameit Artistry

Using all white and tints is new for me. When I chose this subject (which is the top of a holiday salt shaker!) I knew there would be shadows and highlights to paint. As I sketched the form and became more familiar with the subject, I saw subtle pinks, blues, grays, browns and yellows. I mixed a tiny amount of each color with puddles of white paint and was amazed how more than a tiny amount can tint the puddle too much! Lesson learned :-).

I am happy with the progress of this palette knife painting. The tints are defining the contours of the bird nicely, and the texture is yummy!
