Portrait of a Cowboy, by Vonnie Kohn, Contemporary Western Oil Painting

2012-02-01T20:19:00.000-08:00

"Portrait of a Cowboy"

20 x 20 x 1 1/2"

Oil on Canvas

John is a remarkable cowboy of our present day. He is tall, lanky, and as a cowboy, he is the real deal. I spotted him seated in this profile next to a chuckwagon during a championship cookout. His cowboy attire typifies the American Spirit...red, white and blue. The contrast of his hat in direct sunlight with face in shadow was an invitation to paint!

Shortly after completing this painting, I learned from some of his friends that he was in an accident with his horse. His firm resolve to survive the broken bones just reinforced my opinion of the all-American Cowboy, quiet, soft spoken, endurance...courage comes in many forms.

This painting is available. You may contact me at:

If I hadn't painted this, I would love to receive it as a Valentine's Day gift for the sole reason that it would be a total surprise and I probably wouldn't have ever guessed what my gift would have been.

I was in a lighthearted mood a while back when I created this painting. The inspiration for the fish came from a piece of fabric and the turtle is from my imagination. The hearts were an afterthought when I felt the painting needed more..,

I absolutely LOVE butterflies! These paintings could be considered "jewelry for the walls," as these were very much jewel inspired. To add a splash of color to any room... place one on a book shelf, create a grouping of these in a child's room, a small powder room or anywhere to add some color! What fun it was just layering and layering colors with thick palette knife strokes.

As you come into 30th Street Station on the train from New York, just before you get to the station, there is this space. Nothing is there except for the shadow, the trash can and a pile of trash. But there are hints of other places. The car is just beginning to cross the bridge, the space under the bridge is leading somewhere, and there are just a glimpse of Philadelphia sky scrapers in the distance. The tracks in the foreground are headed home. It is a space pregnant with possibilities.

I Work For Myself, Solely! By Gerard Boersma

I Work For Myself, Solely!

I always laugh when I hear an artist proclaiming that he only works for himself and his own enjoyment. No, you don’t.

If you would solely work for yourself, you would keep your works to yourself too. There would be no need to show it to others as well, because you already reached your full audience: You.

But of course if you're like any other artist you're quick to show it to other people as well whenever you have a change. That is, if you feel confident enough about it in the first place.

But when you do, you immediately work for those people too. Even if they don’t purchase your work or respond to it in a negative way.

You do, because art is a medium, a way to communicate with others. One of the oldest we have I might add. And just like any other medium it starts serving its purpose as soon as the message is being received by an audience.

There’s of course nothing wrong with that. As a matter of fact that’s how it’s supposed to be: an artist should show his works to as many people as he possibly can. That’s how art receives its true value and meaning.

Of course this can be very frightening or exciting, because you don't control how your art is being received by an audience. As an artist you just hope people are touched, moved or inspired by your work. Or at least feel some type of connection to it. That would be great.

Yes, you should enjoy what you’re making and you should make the best paintings you possibly can. But you don’t work solely for yourself if you show it to other people too. It’s called sharing. And you should enjoy this too.

kind regards, Gerard

2011

Remember my series of paintings for festival Explore The North? This is the first painting I did, but later thought it would be better when I used an imaginary museum as a setting for the series.

You can actually see this image of a stone breaker in my painting Hard Work. The image there looks way larger than it is in real life, but Hard Work has the same measurements as Stone Breaker.

So this painting became a study and I didn't really know what to do with it, but completed the painting anyway. I did, because I like the theme of this piece. A man working hard all day long for my community.

It also closely resembles The Stone Breakers by Gustave Courbet, a personal favorite of mine, but of course they didn't have those nice orange jackets back in the day. And nature got replaced for a shop window. Oh modern times.

kind regards, Gerard

If you're interested in purchasing this painting just send me an email stating the title for more information and price. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Drawing for

Flores de la Ventana

by Leslie Redhead

This past weekend I taught a workshop in West Vancouver, BC on pouring watercolors.

Pouring watercolors is my most popular workshop, so I decided to photograph the process.

The above photograph is the initial drawing.

It is another painting of Spain.

Since pouring is based on understanding values, I find that the white buildings of Spain are wonderful for showing values.

I start off by stretching my paper and then I transfer my drawing onto my paper.

Next I mask the areas that I want to save, which at this point will be the white part of the building.

Then I pours my colors.

The colors I am using are Winsor Yellow, Permanent Alizarin Crimson, and Winsor Blue.

This is what it looks like after it is poured.

Pour #1

Windows in Manyunk

Nancy Herman

6" x 8"

oil on canvas board

This painting was made from a photo taken at the bottom of the Cynwyd trail facing Manyunk. I have an oldish small digital camera and yet it is able to capture the sun inside the window of a building several miles away. I am not a great photographer but the camera is a mighty instrument these days. It was set on automatic, not even zooming in. If someone were in that factory window not wishing to be observed, they would be out of luck and I would have a painting that looked like a Hopper wannabe.

Rottweiler - original oil by Anne Zoutsos

2012-01-27T13:07:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-27T08:47:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-26T19:15:00.000-08:00

"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!

Many of you might have heard about the powerful Solar Flares that have been taking place. Here's a very interesting article "THE GIFT OF SOLAR FLARES" It includes a section outlining a variety of symptoms that might be experienced. I have been experiencing quite a few of them...feeling better today though.

Today's Quotation: "We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls."

11 x 14 Oil Painting on Canvas

Sold - Commission

Painting with The Masters

Art within Art Interiors Series

This is a similar painting commission to a previous

painting that I did " The Spirit of Marilyn".

I never do the same painting twice. However, I will do similar

paintings to those that have been sold.

Many times collectors see sold paintings that they love

and order commissions from them but I like to make each one

an original for the collectors.

In this one I changed the carpet and the print on the walls

and many other small changes. It looks so different and the

collectors is so happy.

If you see paintings that have been sold that you would

like to have as an original please contact me with your

ideas. You can have any size and elements that you wish

or I can design one for you to your specifications.

You can see The Spirit of Marilyn to compare Here

Stacked blue cups by Dave Froude

2012-01-25T11:51:00.000-08:00

Stacked Blue Cups Oil on 16" x 20" wood panel. $500.00

Here is something I have been working on this week, and I think it's just about done, I painted this setup about 18 months ago but really wanted to give it another go ever since. Usually I like to swap out all my objects every few months or so but still kept all of these ones. Sorry for the glare on the right side. I think this one needs a sibling so for my next painting it will somewhat similar. Really happy with this one, not only did this turn out ok but learned a few things along the way, usually it's one or the other.

Feel free to email me here if you want to chat or interested in buying this painting. Comes ready to hang and shipping is included in the price anywhere in North America.

Enjoy,

In Deep Thought (Labrador painting) by Anne Zoutsos

2012-01-25T01:36:00.000-08:00

In Deep Thought - 7" x 5" oil on hardboard/masonite

Well at last I am starting to recover from a horrible bout of 'flu and would like to thank those who sent good wishes.

Before I get working on commissions again, I thought I'd like to create a painting which would show one of the characteristics of dogs which I value very highly and this is their quality of spirit. I do believe that where dogs have lived in such very close proximity to humans for so very long a time, that they have developed a special quality of soul and are capable of a great depth of emotion which we do not normally associate with any other creatures than humans. I think the expression on this dog demonstrates this well.

Technique VS Idea, Ideas, Ideas

As a realist artist I find it funny to see that modern art nowadays puts more emphasis on ideas rather than on technique. In a documentary about a leading school of art in the UK I even heard an art teacher proclaiming that technical skill doesn’t even matter, it’s all about ideas, ideas, ideas!

Well, having a good idea for a painting sure is important. Art should capture thoughts and feelings and having an idea what you want to say or express as an artist sure is the way to go. But saying that form and technical skill just isn’t important sounds outright ridiculous to me.

Let’s say you happen to be a singer and you got the greatest idea for a song ever. You pen it down, the melody sounds like heaven and the words are just like poetry. It’s just great!

But when you’re on stage performing this great song and you just happen to suck at singing, do you know what happens? You get booed off the stage and if you really stink people start throwing beer bottles at you. Or tomatoes and rotten eggs for that matter.

But with painting it’s a whole different ballgame. If you got this great idea, but your performance is just as bad as the singer’s: it’s called a style. People don’t boo you off the stage, they start throwing panties at you for God’s sake.

They appreciate ‘your style’ for your new take on things and daring or innovative way of working. They actually think it’s good or at least are so shocked and confused they're seriously considering it might be good.

No, it isn’t, let’s keep things in perspective here: it’s just a great idea badly executed. It’s like a singer with a great song, but who sings painfully off key. Who enjoys that? I for one can’t and never will.

That’s why technical skill is still important and it always will be. I’m not saying that artists have to work in a realistic style, but they should master their medium and develop their own unique style. To the max, no cutting corners and no slacking whatsoever.

In the end it’s visual art: it has to be visual attractive as well. Combine this with a great idea and you got great art. Now let’s cut the crap and start painting again. Please.
