Pronghorn Antelope study. Oil on panel.


 
"Pronghorn Antelope study."
8 x 10"  Oil on panel.

Pronghorn Antelopes are just too cute to ignore them!... During our trip to the West we saw those little guys just about everywhere and I'm afraid I gave my husband a reason to think that I'm sort of obsessed with taking of numerous pictures of those creatures!..
Honestly, I just finding them very curious to observe and very good subject to paint.
But I didn't paint any.. till now. This is just a little study, but I'm sure I'll be working on painting(s)
of group of those beautiful animals and with some more picturesque background that just a some dry grass here and there.
I did a quick sketch with a pastel pencil on my canvas and Finished it with oils. Here he is - Mr. Pronghorn !..

"Kiwi plate". Mische Technique. Finished!



"Kiwi Plate" Egg tempera and Oil
11 x 14" Ampersand Claybord.

Last night I worked some more with my kiwi and finally realized, that if I continue, it will be totally different  painting... perhaps a better one, but different, not what I was imagining when I started. 
My original idea came to its logical end. I'm done with this work.

With this in mind I put it up vertical ( yes, I painted in on flat, just one of those things) to take a good look and decide - IF in fact I'm done...
Next what i know: my desk-lamp dropped down from the shelf on my desk, knocked down a bottle with white spirit (what happened to be open) and all my brushes, solvent went all over place!... What a mess!.. But somehow I managed to rescue thee painting!..

It was a sign to be saying to me:  "leave it along already!". So I do. It will need some finishing touch-up with medium, but no more paint. Perhaps when it will be dry, I'll take better picture of it.
No - back to those Gardenias!

Gardenia Trio. Egg Tempera and Oil WIP.



So far my kiwi painting is drying and getting ready for me (and I am getting ready for IT) I'' working on some small projects... something like semi-daily paintings... However I'm quickly getting tired of those. Maybe because in my mind I have something bigger and just that beautiful, that my evening etudes looking small and unworthy... One of my latest (but also very old ideas) was to paint some white gardenia in all their glory... I was looking for perfect composition for a while and finally came up with something what I liked.
I also wanted to give a try to so called "True Gesso" panels. I do not have enough time make those on my own, so I had to order some from manufacturer... and when it came, I knew - those are support for my gardenias and jump-started with this painting the very next day.
So far I'm on tempera- underpainting and trying to get right values down and blend everything to perfection or nearly so...  I have to say: I LOVE the board. I wouldn't event try something else for my tempera works from now one. Tru Gesso panels are turned to be true enjoyment and I'm looking forward to do more, but for today, perhaps it is a good time to stop.

Kiwi painting with more updates.



After some more oil glazing I had to return to my tempera work and make some adjustments. I like it better now and as soon it dries I'll be ready for more glazing. I feel I'm going meet my own deadline for this painting and should be finished till the end of November, what is great, because I have 3 more big projects to finish till the middle of January and I do not have too much time to do it all.

"Turning Gold". Gouache on Canvas panel.



"Turning Gold " 
Gouache on Canvas Board, 3 x 5"

Another small painting for upcoming group show in December... I tried working with Gouache on Italian-made canvas covered panel. Factory stated it will accepts oil, acrylic and gouache... and it did! In a few days I can varnish it and then it will be ready to be framed on the same manner as any Oil or Acrylic painting, what is nice - no messing with glass! 
I have few of those little frames I can use, so this time '2-nd Floor Gallery" will be getting something very new from me. Psst, it is a secret!...

Still Life with Kiwi. Egg tempera and Oil mische technique. WIP. First glaze of oils (not counting underpainting).

Yesterday Night (or was in technically THIS night?... perhaps it was) I finished with first glaze of local color. have few pieces I missed, but I have no concern about it... I will do it later. It was nice painting session. I had to stop around 2 AM, too bad... I just could keep going and going. And now I'll have to wait another few days, till it dries to the point I can continue working. It shouldn't be that long, I went with fast drying medium by Charvin. It DIES dry fast and I really like how it works with my paints (what I couldn't say about their glazing medium, for some reason I had a hard time with that one). 
So... till next painting session!...

Kiwi painting... finishing of underpainting.


I still working on last stage of tempera underpainting... This time - over blue glaze. When I'm done with it, it will be nice gray-scale underpainting, ready for local color. It will be mostly appearing as neutral, but in actually it will be so called "optical gray" - combination of all primary colors.
Very intriguing and I'm getting there.

"Dunes". Pastel on Wallis.

 
"Dunes" 
Pastel on Wallis board 8 x 10" 

Another small work in Western pastel series. While visiting our friends in Idaho, Jim and I went ATV riding in the desert.  I took my little "all weather proof" very outdoorsy digital camera instead my big SLR camera and I was happy I did!.. We got a little big of everything - sand, rain and yes, once again - high heat. But also we got some great photos and videos and had totally wonderful time.
 And I hope to turn some of those memories into beautiful paintings. "Dunes" is a one of them.

"Wyoming's Sunset". Pastel.

 
"Wyoming's Sunset" 
Pastel on Wallis board 8 x 10" 

Magical scene what I saw on a way back from Tenon National Park to Jackson, Wyoming. Just the right place, just the right light, just the right colors... I never would have enough time to paint it on location, till it is all gone, but I had my camera to preserve the moment and painted it just as I remember that beautiful evening.

Kiwi painting... second stage of tempera work.

Not much to say- I finished second stage of white tempera painting over yellow glaze of oil. This stage is more accurate compare to the first one and I like how medium is acting for me much better compare to very beginning of this work. And now. when it finished, it has to dry few more days.

Kiwi in tempera/oil combination. Tempera stage #1.


Beginning of tempera painting over imprimatura is looking exiting and mysterious.  I have to change amount of egg medium to make sure that paint works for me the way I like it... And most of the time it is successful. I can not wait to see this finished, BUT... to have it finished well, I will have to take my time...

New Still Life with Kiwi. Update #1.

I finished my work with ink and sealed whole painting with initial layer of oil. It has to be very correct, but doesn't really have to be totally perfect at this stage... And it is not perfect. Claybord is not the easiest surface for Oil paints, but after it took the primary layers, things will be getting easier and more controllable. I;'m very much looking forward to it.
My next step will be value modeling in tempera. Much more complex, compare to the ink version.
Looking forward to start on it!

Still Life with Kiwi. WIP.

Another show project and it is just what I called it - still life with kiwi. When finished it will be one more Oil painting, but mean while I'm working on underpainting with india ink and now it is more-less watercolor. This stage is the most complicated and most important. I'm working on Ampersand Claybord and didn't make my final choices on how exactly I want to see it finished just yet... 
I still have time, I just wish I would have more of it.

Back from Wyoming.

Soon it will be a month after my last blog post.. This summer keeps me away from posting, one thing happened after another and I only have so much time to do it all. 
This month I pulled my husband Jim off his job to make me a company during my trip to the West.   
 It was very intensive event, lots of driving, visiting  Wyoming and Idaho, staying for a while at art Mecca - Jackson Hole, cruising Tetons and Yellowstone with my new camera.
Trip was totally priceless and it was a great opportunity to finally meet some of my friends with whom we only wrought each other online... for years. But never met in person till now.
After few days in Jackson, Jim and I  went to see   Gary Keimig @ Silver Sage gallery in Duboise.
 If we ever will be at Jackson and will have some extra time to spend this is definitely place to visit. Road to Duboise is all about beautiful scenery and you have a great chance to meet all the sorts of wildlife there... especially if you will  pull of main highway. We saw eagles, grizzly bear and many landscapes to die for. Sure I'm going paint some of it, but not all at the same time. Meanwhile I'm suggesting you to visit (OK, just virtual visit this time, but maybe if next time you are in Wyoming you will stop by to see his beautiful paintings!)

Audubon Artists juried show at Salmagundi Club, NYC.

"Orchids in Ruby Glass" Oil on panel. 

Today I received some great news right out of my mail box... My painting "Orchids in Ruby Glass" was accepted to Audubon Artists annual show @ Salmagundi Art Club, 47 Fifth Ave., NYC. 
It is a great honor to me and.. my first show in NYC! Good news - I should be back from Wyoming right before show will be open and hopefully will be able to attend reception!
Mean while I urgently need to frame the painting and talk with my shipping agent about delivery... complicated part about it is - I'll be out of State when it all will need to be done, but we hope to figure out something.
I see a trip to faming shop in my nearest future!

"Morning" pastel on Wallis.

"Morning" 
Pastel on Wallis board 9 x 6" 
Sometime last week I finished this small painting, I think It came out nice, even at some point paper was giving me hard time, because this was not "museum", but 'pro" grade and it is slightly different and doesn't handle wet applications too well, even it was mounted... Anyway - it is finished, it is... I think nice. And I full of other ideas.

Another pastel cooking!

"Morning" 
Pastel on Wallis board 9 x 6" 

Last night started another pastel painting. Very small, good study size. I took the same subject what I did before in Oil Pastels - scene from the local wooded area... sun-lighted and simple.
I want to keep this one very light without heavy pastel layering and to do so I started with watercolor underpainting. I put all major shapes down last night, dried it and started with some pastels... just like a hint of color to give me an idea what I'll be working with... I like it so far and hope to finish later this evening after I'm done wandering around and do things what have to be done first.

Oil on board 10 x 8" 

My latest painting consisted of some attractive looking Hay Bales we met on a way to our veterinarian office the other day. I had to retun there with my camera and get few pictures. I did some photo adjustments and then painted those round things first in Pastels and then in Oil too.

"Into The Light" Egg Tempera & Oil Cymbidiums. Finished!

"Into The light" 
Egg tempera and Oil on board. 12 x 9" 
I'm happy to mention  that I finally called this painting finished.
 It was one of those works what I just can just keep going and gong.
But sometime it should be right time to stop, even perhaps you could do more with it...
Now the only "more" part I have to do - varnish it and frame it... sometime.
As for now I just have to leave it along and let it dry.
I also will have to start shopping for frame, what is always fun part.
Good possibility it will be a nice California Plain Air style frame...
kind of like this one, what I Photoshopped together with painting , just to see, if I like it... and yes I do!

I'm pretty sure I'm ready for another project now and that one will be a complicated one...
I'm testing some of my new ideas and approaches of handling my Oil Pastels... If everything will work out, how I predicted, it could be interesting new way of painting...
But this will make totally different post for this blog.
