GREEN ANJOU PEAR ON PEDESTAL by OLGA WAGNER

Pear # 6 in my pear series is much less dramatic than it's predecessors, both in color and shape. Here we have the clean lines and distinct egg-like shape of an Anjou Pear. I am thrilled with the colors and lines on this little beauty and can't wait to frame it for hanging..

My whole "P is for Pears with Personality" series can be viewed on my website. Here is the LINK

A Secret Path by Helen Read

Secret Path, 8x10" acrylic on canvas
©2012, Helen Read 
ready to frame

This one is similar to a recent pastel work I did, Glade, but with a different media and technique.  The basic landscape is the same, but I've used some of my abstraction ideas of circles and dots to create a less than abstract landscape!   I love the chance to mix colors by juxtaposing them right on the canvas.   To me, though a tedious application method, really does give a somewhat joyous and carefree outcome!

Rottweiler - original oil by Anne Zoutsos

Rottweiler - 5" x 7" oil on hardboard/masonite

I have just managed to get a better photograph of this painting (well remembered to do so to be honest) and thought I would tell you about the first time I got to know a rottweiler. It was many years ago, when we lived in London near Hyde Park. A couple who lived near us had two young rottweilers and the wife told me that her husband had wanted two guard dogs - they were rather wealthy! - but she had wanted two cuddly, pretty dogs and so they settled on rottweilers as being the perfect match. Well, I never discovered how they were at their guard duties, although I suspect very good, but as cuddly, pretty dogs they were perfect and certainly very friendly to those invited to their house, just wanting to play!

It's a shame rottweilers have developed a reputation for aggressiveness because although very strong, when they are properly brought up, they are lovely dogs.

Landscape Impressions gouache paintings now on Etsy

Landscape Impressions series display

I have now opened an Etsy store to sell some of my daily paintings. See Artbymarion on Etsy

I am starting with my small gouache (5"x7") paintings. These have all been mounted on black MDF to give a border and to fit into a standard photo frame, as can be seen on in the photo. All these paintings have been varnished with two coats of acrylic varnish to protect the surface, making them very durable. This also means that they can be mounted without glass.

Trapped - raven painting by Ria Hills

"Trapped"
12" x 12" acrylic painting 
surface - stretched canvas, finished sides

It doesn't need to be labeled as a surreal piece. I've seen ravens about this size in Arizona and New Mexico. The room could be smaller than an average room. But it is surreal in that it has a dream like quality.
I was stuck with this painting for a while because I couldn't decide if I should add more detail, but in the end I wanted to suggest a feeling rather than create a photo-real painting.

I seem to enjoy the concept of painting birds in chairs. My painting "Raven" is one you might also want to see.

(photo reference for room from Tulay Palaz)
Thanks to Chelsea for naming this painting ;-)
Next painting - some olives in pastel or possibly acrylic. Please stay tuned!


For purchasing information please visit my daily painting blog.
