This is my submission to SOME TEXAS ARTISTS LIKE TO PAINT challenge for August which is Dreams. There are so many thoughts and ideas about dreams that it was difficult to decide what to do until I ran across an old black and white photograph of Sigmund Freud. I need practice with values (as always!) and thought this would be a good exercise and also a really fun painting to do. My husband's undergraduate degree is in psychology and I typed up many a paper with Freud's name in it. I felt I ran across an old friend.

Tinajon and Bougainvillea Oil Painting ACEO


Copyright 2010 Maria Soto Robbins

One of my collectors from New Jersey, recently bought one of my tinajones painting and asked to see more.  He kept repeating that he was from Camaguey in Cuba as if this would somehow justify his desire for another iconic painting of the region.  I fully understand! It's an "añoranza" or yearning for that which we fondly remember and love.  I'm honored that he found something in my creation to satisfy those feelings.

This is another tinajon aceo.  A cute little painting done in oils with palette knife and brushes and it shows a traditional Cuban earthen water jar used in the province of Camaguey. The Spaniards brought these clay jugs to Cuba and it's become a historical, tradition of the region. Actually, it's become a symbol for the city of Camaguey. The little red-pink flowers on the side,  have a raised, thick, impasto finish. It's almost three dimensional!

ACEO stands for Art Card Edition Original, miniature original paintings or prints, a mere 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches in size. They are affordable works of art that can be framed, exhibited on an easel or displayed anywhere you like! ACEO's are a wonderful way to build a collection of art miniatures from a wide range of artists at a fraction of the price of a large-scale original.

Dimension: 2.5.x3.5 x1/8 inches masonite
Medium: Oils

Angel Art Prints by Marina Petro

Angel's Journey
 Dancing Angels
Angel's Garden
All original paintings of these images have sold
Prints are available on paper in a variety of sizes, as well as greeting cards at...


Slowly but surely I am adding to my collection of images of my original oil paintings to Fine Art America...making them available as reproductions on paper and canvas. The angels pictured above and others are available there.  

This has been 'one of those days...' I've learned that my beloved master (painting) teacher, Tom Vincent,  has taken a significant turn for the worse and can no longer communicate. He is in the stages of dying at a small nursing facility. I am grateful I was able to visit with him Friday. His message to me, in a voice that was barely perceptible, was "Keep painting the way you are painting. When you begin each painting, intend it to be a masterpiece." I told him I would always hear his voice telling me..."Be patient...be very very careful.." and my resistance and difficulty with patience. I will honor him, though, and follow his advice. Some of my best work has been under his loving guidance. I was primarily self-taught, until three years ago, when I connected with him. Right now I'm feeling a bit lost without him..

Today's Quotation: "Being an artist is not an occupation, but a lifestyle or a destiny."

Solar Rays
5x7 
Oil painting on stretched canvas
Purchase securely HERE or EMAIL ME for other purchasing options and inquiries.
A Certificate Of Authenticity is included with every painting.

Only one in the entire universe! 
I've had my share of unsolicited nasty surprises and disappointments this year. I'm pretty certain everyone reading this has had their share of them too...that's just life. So...when I know I have the power to create very pleasant surprises, I paint...

Solar Rays is one of those pleasant surprises as are most of the paintings that flow through my intuition and fertile imagination. To bring something into this world that adds beauty and inspiration and has never existed before is quite the experience. I honor the 'Great Creator' with each work that comes forth from me...Today's quotation below is an excerpt from my Bio/Artist Statement. Artist Statements are a general requirement for most exhibition venues and other stuff. I dislike the formality of it all but.....that's life too...

Today's Quotation: "Art enables us to glimpse and experience Divine Manifestation. The "Great Creator" continuing the spirit of creation through the world's artists. Painting, and the inescapable force which impels and flows through me, is my essential link to the sacred."

Com-posers Series Impressionistic Watercolor Floral/ Sunflowers by Pennsylvania Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Com-posers

original watercolor floral/sunflowers: 14"w x 11"h

Good Vibrations

I love the way

on a late August day

the sun reaches down

to gather around

my sunflower girls

with their golden yellow curls

and their skirts made of leaves

shimmering in the breeze...

The birds of the air

and the insects working there

create a vibration

a vibrato celebration

as they all harmonize

their praise to the skies...

I’m thankful just to be

by this undulating sea

and honored so to hear

this music of the spheres

BB’10
