Yes, I'm still in my shoe painting mode! I can't help it, I just love it. Instead of showing you the whole shoe, I wanted something different. I love the cropping, it's obvious that the painting shows a high heel, but then again it has certain abstract qualities about it too. I defenitely like that!

If you want to have a chance to win CL022 you can enter the auction here. Bidding starts at 100,- dollars and the auction ends june 7. Good luck!

kind regards, Gerard

 This is one of the rare acrylic paintings I've created. I began with a base of iridescent copper paint, allowed it to dry and then, as usual with my celestial creations, began to paint spontaneously.   The photo does not do this piece justice. I'm happy with how it turned out. Here's another painting that would be magnificent on a very large canvas....one of these days I will actually do it and stop talking about it...

Today's Quotation: "A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul."
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


"Zangle Sketch" by Kathryn Townsend

"Zangle Sketch", 9 x 12 In, Oil on Panel
I am forever fascinated by the scene in front of me every day. I sit and watch it change from one moment to the next--from the breeze changing the surface of the water to the changes in color as the sun moves across the sky. Sometimes I just sit and watch.

"For the Show" by gerald schwartz

 Oh!, I know... I haven't done my daily posts.  I can't figure out how to paint quite that fast. Yes, sometimes I can and do, BUT this year I found myself needing a change.  No, not moving or lifestyle, but what to paint and how to say it.   It's easy to paint the same thing over and over, it's you know... "safe" SO! for the past seven months I stepped out and away from my soothing, calming, pretty landscapes.  Now, before I go any further, I am talking about my new canvases not my little baby posts.  See, I have this up coming show and everyone knows me for my sky paintings, again, comments  from fellow artists and passerby's or as we like to think of them "Clients" " How peaceful, soothing and calming your skies are" ..... Well I'm here to tell you, all that is bye bye, finished, through.... Is it scary? YES!, but I have to go down that road.  I struggled and labored over these pieces for they did not come easy.  The progression was laborious, but slowly things began to show some promise.  Canvas after canvas a door was opened revealing new thoughts.   I have finished eight canvases and I am "almost" ready for this two month long seven days a week major art show of a new me.
This YouTube  is a one minute summation of seven months.  The image below is a small part of a total... I hope you enjoy my madness.  All bad comments will be held confidential with no names released  hahahaha   :)          

Dalmatian by Anne Zoutsos (Blinken)

Blinken - 10" x 8" oil on hardboard/masonite

Here is my latest commission - or rather the latest finished one - of Louise Clement's handsome boy, Blinken. At Louise's request, I painted Blinken with a black background and his reflection as if he was lying on a shiny floor.

CLEMATIS AND FOG



CLEMATIS AND FOG
8" x 6"
oil on canvas board

I love to go outside in the early morning to see what's perking in my garden.  It's cool and the birds are chattering away and the other noises of the coming day have not begun.  This particular morning there was a deep fog that made everything seem a little myserious.  
My first Clematis of the season struck me as it seemed to be nestled in the crotch of the dark Katsura tree behind.






"Night-Rider"

10x20 oil on canvas
NFS
This is a painting i did last year to donate to "Bria's Ride", a fund-raiser for a little girl in  our city.  Each year, the harley riders gather and do it up big -not only for Bria, but for many other good causes- they are a wonderful and generous group - this was auctioned off and i'm kind of tickled to have been a part of this!

This is a small piece I did in a workshop a few years ago. I stuck it away and forgot about it. But I'm getting ready to hang some new work in the gallery here in Shelbyville, and with fresh eyes, I thought "this isn't so bad." So I'm going to frame it and see what happens.

Impressionsistic Cityscape original oil by Carol DeMumbrum

Saturday in the Park


This was painted from a photo I took in Millennium park in Chicago. We had just had a nice dinner in the park and then it was twilight, that was about six years ago and I still remember the feeling of being in the park that night and the beauty of this garden. I love painting from a photo that has such wonderful memories. I kept singing the Chicago song, Saturday in the Park while painting this hence the title. Today will be a busy day in all the city parks - everyone have a wonderful Memorial Day!! Thinking of those today who have loved ones who gave their life for our freedom.

"Berber Woman" by Kathryn Townsend

"Berber Woman", 10 x 8 In, Oil on Panel
When we were in Morocco we spent three days out on the desert east of the Atlas Mountains. One of our excursions was a two mile hike to a small nomadic Berber encampment. We sat in the tent and drank tea with this woman and her daughter--the young girl I painted a portrait of a couple of weeks ago. Our guide spoke a lot about the history of the Berbers, a people that I hadn't known anything about.
