Happy, Happy Holidays All

Wishing you the very best holiday ever....

"Front Row"

"Front Row"

12" x 16" Stretched Canvas

Early dawn on the rice field in front of my home.  In the summer the sun rises to the left of this old tree, in the winter, it's all the way to the right of this view.  It always amazes me how much the earth tilts for each season.....

Enjoy your day..

Cindy

Re-posting "Strut"

I am so frustrated with trying to upload a true representation of "Strut".  It looks so yellow in my first attempt, and when I try to upload a new photo, it doesn't "take".....so here's the third try:

Third time was the charm....this is very true to the painting.
My day just got better!

Strange Loves

Sometimes, you get tagged as a little weird because of the strange things you love.  You may even think of yourself as a little weird.....but still, you really can't help the things that catch your eye, that you think of as being beautiful.  So, to let you know you are not alone in your strange, funny to others weirdness,  here's my favorite bud vase:

Yes, it's an old "A1 Steak Sauce" bottle.  One of these days, I'm going to paint it, along with another favorite, an old half pint liquor bottle.  I might even throw in a little Waterford, just so the crowd knows I know the difference between good crystal and glass off the grocery shelf!  I could go on and on about the mostly beautiful glass packaging for grocery items, but we are all different, and you may not admire it as much as I do.  

I hope you have a wonderful day,

Cindy

Another GREAT Website for Artists

Here's a second really great website for anyone interested in learning more about painting:

www.svagrikfineart.com

I really liked that he includes lots of videos, along with his paintings, paintings of others, and many, many fine art tips.

Have a great day,
Cindy

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Hope this holiday is one spent doing what you love, with those you love.  Thank you for following my blog, and keep safe,

Dude II

The first time "Dude" showed up, he was dressed in acrylics...this time, he's wearing oils.  From a photo taken at The Turtle Hospital in Jupiter, Fl..  Visiting this hospital of swimming pools was one of my favorite days ever.  Dude is probably back in his ocean home by now.

This egret wasn't worried about me at all.  He struted back and forth on the bulkhead, proud as he could be.  Plummage a little past prime time, but he didn't care.

What a dot can do...

Before:

After:

Like jewelry for your painting....dots used sparingly bring depth and add interest....

Love 'em.  Painting is in process, and not worth showing the whole thing..

Have a wonderful day,

Cindy.

Brushes

Confession --- I own a lot of brushes.  Triple digit a lot.  About half of my brushes are past their useful life, but I just can't throw them away.  The remaining are equally divided between long handles, and short handles.  Of the long handled brushes, some belonged to my mom, easily recognized by all the paint on the handles. These are not used, they are treasured.  Half of the remaining long handles are WORN OUT, literally down to the nub, I use them to sketch out a drawing, or pick up random trash off my wet canvas, or the floor, or whatever.  The rest of the long handles are usable, some bristle hair, a few precious sables, and some artificial hair, flats, brights, filberts, rounds.  You can do the math, or you can deduce from all this dividing that I really need more brushes.  I know I do, I just can't part with any that have served me so long and I think a crisis situation may occur if I came home with any more.  What I need is a brush manufacturer who just produces the head.  Screw one off, screw a new one on. What's wrong with that?  The handle count would never go up!  I'm going to google that.

These are all special, and every painter can understand that!

I hope you have a great day,

Cindy

I'm Fine - No, really!

I snapped a shot of this little garden statue while in Key West last winter...isn't he cute?  He looks like he's had a shock, and is reassuring the poinsettia that he's just fine, really!

"I'm FINE, no REALLY!"

8" x 10", oil on canvas.

The photo was really dark and grainy.  I used photoshop to enhance the colors to the max, and it pixalated bright blue all over him....so I painted him that way.

To quote my husband, "today is your day to be brilliant"!  Make it a good one,
Cindy

Box of Blues

"Box of Blues"

8" x 10", oil on canvas board

What I like about this painting is the transparency at the edge of the water.  It was fun to try to capture in opaque oils, and I spent a lot of time trying.  I finally realized that for it to appear transparent, I had to paint what I saw, not what my brain was telling me!  Dah.  Also challenging was the reflected light bouncing back and forth between the side of the boat and surface of the water.  

Have a great day, ya'll!

Cindy

My Studio

My studio is pretty small, it is about 7 feet square, but it's functional, and I love it.  In the beginning, setting up a standard easel was out the the question, so I bought a small travel easel with collapsible legs.  It is easy to set up, and takes up little storage space.  Still, it hampered me.  It was not convenient enough. Leaving a wet canvas on it meant I had to be careful not to knock it over when using my computer or desk.  I searched the web many times looking for a reasonable, cost effective solution.  Finally, I saw a video of an artist who was painting a huge canvas propped up against a wall and inspiration struck.  I sketched out an easel that would be attached to my wall.  I know now, of course, that wall hung easels are commercially available, but I didn't know it then.

Here's my solution, carefully handcrafted by hubby:

and to show you the truth of my entire 7 x 7 studio:

my little bit of heaven!

Hope you make this day great,

Cindy

Pellie

work in process,

I have ANOTHER cold....yuck..

here's "Pellie", a 12" x 12" oil on stretched canvas..

Rework!

Much Better!

We really enjoyed the fall colors last week, and it inspired me to come home and repair "Fall on the Williams River II".  I kept looking at the last post and became more and more dissatisfied with it, so as soon as we got home, I started painting, putting in all the vivid colors I had just seen.  I also lightened the background hill .....

It's nice to be home.  I hope you have a wonderful day,
Cindy

"Fall on the Williams River II"

"Fall on the Williams River II"

Oil on canvas board, 10" x 8"

Hubby and I are off to the N.C. mountains to enjoy some fall colors.  We always make an effort to go.  The Blue Ridge parkway is a wonderful ride this time of year, full of oranges, reds, and yellows. With stunning long range views, we hit every overlook and never tire of the beauty.  Here in the lowcounty about the only fall colors we see are trees someone has planted in their yard just for that effect.  OK, that's a slight exaggeration, there are some deciduous trees, and of course, we have lots of red sumac, and goldenrod.

Make today a great day,

Cindy

"Seagulls at Sunset"

Finished - well, maybe.

Seagulls in progress...

I am painting, and not turning out anything I feel especially good about.  Switching from acrylics to oils is a big learning experience.  I enjoy the challenge, but I am frustrated with my lack of expertise.  I have started oil painting classes with Joyce Hall, nationally known artist specializing in equestrian art.  Her paintings are out of this world beautiful.  She is a warm, funny, unassuming teacher, who obviously loves painting and teaching.  Here is my most recent non-class effort:

still  a lot of work to do on it, obviously.

Have a great day,
Cindy

Drawing Practice....

Here is a neat little exercise that will improve your drawing skills in a very short time.  I've been doing this for four days, and can already see a difference in my draftsmanship.  Amazing what an hour a day can accomplish.  This exercise is simple to set up, and really challenging,... here goes:

Grab your sketchbook, and a ruler and grid 1" squares four or five across, and five or six down.  Try to get this grid as square as you can. For the first column, first square, place three small dots and connect them into a triangle.  Repeat this down the length of the grid, making each triangle different from all the ones above.  This becomes your control column.  The challenge is to then repeat the position and shape of each triangle across the row it is in.  Begin each new square by placing three dots in the same position within the square as the control.  Use the grid lines and other dots to estimate the position of each dot. To check your accuracy, use tracing paper or wax paper to trace the control column, including the grid lines, and lay it over your drawing.  How ya' doin?  I used a straight pin to poke holes in the corners of my control triangles, and put correction dots on each drawing.  Day one was pretty absurb, but here is day four:

Have a wonderful day.

Knowledge...for free.

I like painting. It is a challenge intellectually, it is interesting, it provides another layer in my world. I look forward to the next one, even while working on this one. I like to see what other people are doing, I like to learn. I always want more and bigger tools in my toolbox - not physical tools, knowledge tools. So if you are like me, go read Stapleton Kearns' blog. Start at the beginning, and don't skip any posts. He has generously shared what it took him a lifetime to learn about painting, being a professional artist, art history, and life. His blog is joyous, funny, sarcastic, and most importantly, full of INFORMATION you will use to improve your paintings. Best of all, IT'S FREE! Here's his website: http://stapletonkearns.blogspot.com Have a great day, Cindy

Well For Goodness Sakes!

Wow, it's been a month since I last posted...I sure am slack! Not really though, I have been studying John F. Carlson's excellent book "Guide to Landscape Painting". He was one of the best landscape artists, and his book is full of knowledge. I found however, it's one thing to "get" what he's writing, it's another to put it into practice. I've finished this:

Well into the painting, I realized my horizontals weren't, and set about to straighten them out. That wasn't fun AT ALL, all that careful work. Anyway, I dug deep and did it. I don't know if anyone has ever stressed this, but really, it should be obvious to us that intended verticals and horizontals MUST be vertical and horizontal to the substrate, or all else fails. This becomes very noticeable when you stick a cattywompuss into a frame. Sounds simple enough but I've seen many paintings that were uncomfortably out of square. I hope you have a wonderful day, Cindy

The Slow Lane

I've discovered the slow lane! A place where there's time to google anything and everything, iron ALL my shirts, not just the one I need to wear, plan meals and grocery shopping to the nth degree, and reread that last novel. It's wonderful. Sometimes, I just sit. I spend quality time in the studio, quality time with husband, quality time with family. I know it's a luxury, and that most people have to go to work, keep kids moving, take care of the household, all that. I did it for years. Finally, I retired, and we started extensive traveling, still in fast lane mode. THEN, this summer happened and I was forced to slow down. Now I'm choosing to stay in the slow lane, I like it here. Here's an update on my latest effort:

. Have a great day, Cindy

Back at the easel......

Lots of wet paint being slung around here, I'm feeling really rusty, but here's a pic of what's on my easel, the paint is very wet, so the shot isn't too good, but I am enjoying myself and wanted to share.

This pretty coral cottage sits on Long Boat Key in Florida. Have a great day, Cindy

Refurbished Brain

The second aneurysm has been successfully repaired. The two that remain do not require surgery as they are very small and will be watched. I am living on bonus days now, or I'm a cat, and have used up three of my nine lives. Whichever it is, I am grateful, humbled, delighted, excited, and so very relieved. I have a week or so for full recovery, then it's back to my normal life, which looks so good to me - even the physical therapy. No more posts now about my health, I'm gonna be better than fine! Thank you everyone for your wonderful support and encouragement.

I Sleep A lot

I sleep a lot. I graze through the kitchen. I hold my husband's hand. I try to find a comfortable position for my head, which is heavy on my hurting neck. I sit and stare at the walls or out of the window. I sip decaf coffee. I am waiting for the next surgery. July 9th. I am waiting for July 9th. There is no doubt that July 9th is years away.

Heart Warming Joy

Joy comes in all kinds of configurations, from a son who drives 7 hours to be by your side during surgery, to a son who brings tacos and grandchildren after work when you get home, a sister who comes in the middle of the night to sleep with you in the hospital, a brother-in-law who brings said sister. Daughters-in-law who check on you, check on you, check on you. Friends who come by, call, or email their support and prayers. My husband, who has been beside me every waking minute since this nightmare started. I couldn't be more blessed, I have the most wonderful people in my life, helping me, willing me to get better, watching out for me. Thank you, guys.

Miracles

After the terrible car accident, I was flown to a nearby trauma center.  A CT scan was done of my head, neck, and chest, which I was sure was crushed.  But no, no breaks or punctures from the crash.  Instead, as a "secondary finding", there were one or two aneurysms in my brain. 

W H A T ? ?

Anyway, it turns out there are four.  The largest one has already been repaired by a procedure called coiling.  This surgery is a miracle.  The thought of the procedure is scary, people poking wires around in your brain; but in reality, for the patient, it's only a 24 hour stay in the hospital, a small incision in the groin, a few bruises, and lots of soreness in the neck.  For the surgeon, it's years of specialized training, and nerves of steel.  I have an excellent, kind, talented surgeon.   

The second largest one will be repaired in a few weeks, and the other two will be watched. The successful repair of the first aneurysm has given me confidence. 

I would never have known about this life threatening condition except for the accident.  I  was given the opportunity to take preventive action, and that is some kind of miracle!  I am thankful and optimistic.

Lock Down

My world is in lockdown....there was a terrible car accident.  A manic driver struck us from behind and sent us flying through the air, rolling and skidding down the interstate highway, over the embankment.  We are only alive because we were driving a new car with a five star crash rating. Today, almost two weeks after "it", I can finally lift my arms level with my shoulders, I can cough without crying, I can lay down and sit back up without an audible moan.  My husband's many cuts are scabbing over, his bruises are turning from purple to green.  We are lucky, so so lucky.
If you are an aggressive driver, if you are an impatient driver, if you honk at slow to move cars, if you have touches of road rage, if you weave in and out of traffic, STOP!  You are not just holding a steering wheel in your hands, you are holding the lives of everyone else on the road with you.  Do you really want to kill someone to save a few minutes?  What if that someone isn't a pokey driver, what if it's a child?  Don't think it isn't possible.  Don't think it won't happen to you.

Lyin' Eyes

I haven't posted in a while, but I have been busy painting ....in oils!  You can correctly deduce by the lack of a posted painting, that I am a long way from competent in this medium.  But I am having so much fun...the colors, the buttery consistency, the extended drying time, I love everything about using them.

Mike Rooney's(www.mikerooneystudios.blogspot.com)  workshop in Bluffton was great.  He is a very relaxed and knowledgeable instructor, who will also serenade you on his ukulele as time permits!  We didn't have very good weather, so most of the time was spent in the studio.  The other artists in the group were all accomplished, and painted in oils.  I quickly learned that acrylics are not easy in plein air, drying too quickly, the large water container was awkward, etc.....so I switched to oils too.  I had a very old set that my mother left me, and once I learned that you can clean up with canola oil rather than turps. I was converted. The other artists all supported my shift, giving me colors I lacked, liquin, and quiet advise.  This was a super group of folks, all very patient of my blunders.


I've churned out three oil paintings so far, and am having a hard time not making mud (hence the title, Lying Eyes), but I'll keep working, I know there's a good one in there somewhere!

Here's to learning new things!

"DAWN"

On my easel this morning, "Dawn", acrylic on stretched canvas.

Still a way to go in the foreground, but I love the sky and treeline.

Next week, I am excited to be taking a three day workshop with Mike Rooney, http://mikerooneystudios.blogspot.com/, a wonderful artist whose easy, relaxed style is anything but easy.  At least for me, I always get caught up in the details.

I hope you have a wonderful day,
Cindy

"Fish Shack II"

Between grandchildren, a lawn run wild, and piled up laundry, I managed to squeeze in time to finish "Fish Shack II".  I have to say that it was challenging, and fun.  I have to say that it kept me awake at night.  I have to say that painting in a larger format requires more than just bigger brushes, (as someone recently told me).  For a control freak like me, there is a lot more opportunity to "fuss" with details.  It was hard to resist, but I did for the most part.  I admit to fussing with the tin roof, the trees, the water, the marsh, well, ok, most of it.  But I unfussed at the end, with larger, more lavish brush work.

Work Continues on Fish House II

AUGHHHH....I continue to work on "Fish House II"...and work, and work.  I keep rethinking bits and pieces, and I know that's not good.  Still, I know I can pull it all together and have a successful composition.

Here is the current iteration:

"Fish House II"

12" x 24" Acrylic on stretched canvas..

The area of concern is the small shack, and adjacent trees.  Fixable, I'm just going to take a break on it for today.  I am happy with the rest, especially the water and marsh in the foreground.

I'm hangin' it up for the day:

 I always wash out my acrylic brushes with Dawn dish detergent, and hang them to dry.  I believe this preserves the shape, and extends the overall life.

Have a great day,

Cindy

On my easel

I am still putting a few finishing touches on a larger version of "Fish House".  I love it when a scene captures my imagination so completely.  I can see a car pulling up in front of this old shack, a family unloading shrimp nets and crabbing supplies, as well as a lantern, cook stove, cots, sleeping bags, and other modern day comforts.  Or, maybe it's me, with my easel, paint boxes, a cooler (of course), add in a generator, since I am no longer one for roughing it too much.  I do love all the peace and quiet you would find in a place like this, the beauty, sun rises and sun sets to capture, herons, egrets, fish jumping, opps, maybe a gator or two.

Home Again, Home Again...

We are home safe and sound.  The coach has been emptied and cleaned.  The house dusted, and restocked.  The windows are opened to a delicious breeze coming off the rice field.  We luxuriate in all the space, and slowly adjust ourselves to a new routine.  It's lovely here, and lovely to be here!

My studio is ready and waiting.....


Make this a wonderful day,
Cindy

Sky Dancers

Florida, Florida, Florida.  What words fit the perfect description of this gulf coast drama queen?  It is just wild weather, wild colors, brilliant light, glowing reflections.  On a sunny day, it is the whole entire 64 pack of crayons.  On a rainy day, it is as dreary and ordinary as anywhere else.

It is almost time to return home, to a much missed family, and another kind of beauty.  I will miss being here, but I can hardly wait to see everyone again.

This latest painting is a work in process.  WAY to much time and effort put into it, and the effort part still shows.  I like my work to look easy, effortless, and my best pictures do.  This one....eech!  Anyway, I'm shameless, I'm posting it, unfinished.

Fun with Florida

Pushed myself to paint "fast"....here's the result.  Later, when I'm all recovered, I'll fix up the obvious ills.....it was fun to have fun with Florida.  This little house really exists, and is located on Anna Maria Island.  What a gorgeous and fun garden...

Sun and Fun Art Show and Sale

Everyone is hoping that tomorrow's art show and sale is a big success.  Most of my paintings are back home in South Carolina, so I only have six to display.  Still, this is a chance to publicize my art and my blog, so I put together this flyer to have on my table:

I used picmonkey.com  to create the collage, and saved it to my desktop.  I used Paintshop Pro (by Jasc software) to add the text top and bottom, and to format it to a standard page size.  I saved this to a flash drive, and drove to a local office supply store, where I had it printed.  In under an hour, and for $25.00, I got 100 5" x 7" flyers.  Technology sure makes it easy to get things done!  

If you are in the Sarasota area, drive on over to Sun and Fun, and give us a visit.

Hope you have a wonderful day,

Cindy

Beach

It's been another beautiful week here in Florida.  The waters of the gulf coast are crystal clear, and mesmerizing.  It's just beautiful.  We have spent a lot of time touring around, and I've spent wonderful hours painting away.  We've seen and enjoyed so many beaches lately, that I am not sure which beach was photographed as inspiration for this painting, I think it was Lido Beach.....

Myakka Mombo Redux

Myakka Mombo 

8" x 10", acrylic on canvas panel

If you visited my blog yesterday, using Internet Explorer as your browser, for some weird reason, you saw the above painting full of white lines and squiggles.  If you used Chrome as your browser, the photo looked normal.  No idea why.   I reshot and reloaded the photo, checked IE, everything looks ok today.  I do know that when I bought a new computer running Windows 8.1, and IE, I could no longer upload photos to my blog.  Searching on line for a solution, I found that several bloggers were having the same problem.  The solution was to use Chrome to blog, and it worked.  I am not a technology guru, the whys and wherefores are beyond me.  But, if you are having the same issues, you might try downloading Chrome to blog with.  You will still have IE, and can choose which browser to use before you go online.
Hope you have a great day,
Cindy

Myakka Mombo

Yesterday, the coast was fogged in, so we took a ride inland to Myakka River State Park.  The park is Florida's largest, and has a designated wild and scenic river running through it.  This painting was inspired by the view from the boat landing.  We came home with tons of good photos, lots of inspiration, and a few insect bites.

Clean Sweep

"Clean Sweep", 8" x 10", Acrylic on canvas board.

$100.00

I love how the dry, windblown sand makes a pattern against the darker, damp sand in this painting.  I was concerned that my camera wouldn't capture the effect, but it did.  This paining appears to be calm and serene, but a closer look will reveal the turbulence of the roiling waves.  I think there must have been a deep drop off, just where the breakers broke (sorry, folks, couldn't help myself with that iteration).

Hope you all have a wonderful day.
Cindy

on my easel this morning....."Clean Sweep"

I started this one yesterday, worked on it today, and will finish up tomorrow!  I am not happy with the three waves in the left center, other than that, I love it!  I found cyan blue to be the perfect color for Florida skies.

On My Easel....

Painting in a motor home is not all that easy, worrying about paint spatters, and consuming more than my share of the space available are just two of the problems.  I do it anyway when it's too cold to move outside.  For anyone else in this situation, acrylics are perfect because they dry fast.  Also perfect is a tripod type floor easel so the limited flat topped surfaces aren't used and unavailable for others.  Another really good painting tool is a small fold away table to hold the water pot, palette, and brushes.  Here's my set up:

and here's what's on my easel this morning

Have a wonderful day,

New Tide

We've been in Florida a little over a week, and it's just now earning it's reputation as a winter hot spot.  Up until yesterday, we had lots of overcast, rainy cool days.  Today is perfection!


I've found three groups to paint with already, and here is my first effort.

Thirty in Thirty

So, I found 26 really good, valid excuses not to paint daily, and complete Leslie Saeta's 30 in 30 challenge.

Some of the categories are:

I don't live in a bubble, other people NEED me (blame others).
It SNOWED here (blame the weather).
I got sick - (blame fate).
I have too much laundry to do (blame time).
I have a new computer, and don't know how to do things like on the old one (blame technology)
The dog/cat ate my brushes (we don't have a pet, but if we did, I would use this one). 
THE TRUTH IS .....once the chain was broken, it was awfully hard to fix.  I skipped a day, and it became easy to not return to the studio.  When I did paint, I didn't post, I became extremely critical of my work, the challenge was on my mind daily, and it just wasn't a good feeling.  I learned about my motivation to paint:
>

It has to make me happy.  It's that simple.



 

MOM, SHE'S NOT PAINTING......

I didn't paint yesterday...I am spending this week at my sister's, she had surgery and needs a little help.  I did bring all my painting gear, and I do PLAN to paint, but we get to talking, there's that jigsaw puzzle, visits from friends and family, and well, all kinds of distractions.  I really love being with her.
Have a great day,
KEEP WARM!
Cindy

DUDE!

I love it when I get in the zone, time stops, and I find myself smiling as I paint.  "DUDE!" is from a photo we took last winter at the Turtle Hospital, near Jupiter Beach, Florida.  This big guy was suffering from hyperthermia, caused by an unexpected cold front which hit near Maryland.  He had been transported in just the week before, and was already well on his way to recovery.

Icky, sickie wimpy wuss

OK, so yesterday, I really didn't feel good, I was, as the title to this post says, icky, sickie, wimpy wuss.....I slept, ate chicken noodle soup, moaned to my husband, and slept. Last night, finally, my cold symptoms abated, and I was determined not to skip a day in the 30 in 30 challenge, so I did a really small, really quick painting of the rice field in front of my house.

 It isn't my proudest, but it is an honest effort to maintain the discipline of painting every day.

"Glow, Baby"

I expect to be posting again later today, it is now day 5 of Leslie Saeta's  (http://lesliesaeta.blogspot.com) 30 in 30 challenge, time to get crackin'.

 

Have a great day,
