Bucks County Playhouse - oil on canvas 22 x 28"

I really enjoyed working on a canvas this large and enjoyed watching it come to life over the past several months. It was one of those paintings that I would put aside and keep coming back to in-between other paintings. I took the photo last winter (when there was a LOT more snow.) I took it from the Lambertville side of the bridge, looking over the Delaware towards New Hope.

Watercolor Mini At Auction - Deb Watson

Early Winter - Yellowstone

Original watercolor miniature (5 x 7), done on watercolor paper folded in half to form a notecard. I have it matted in an 11 x 14" white mat for framing, but it could easily be taken out and used as a card (envelope included).

I put it on auction at the dailypaintworks site - my first auction there. They have a fun zoom tool, so check it out. The site has a lot of auctions, so I don't know if it will sell or not, but I've sold several regular paintings from there in the two months I've been on.

""Orion"Contemporary Abstract Painting By Donna Holdsworth

This painting is done on 14x11 textured stretched canvas.  It morphed so many times I can't even begin to explain.  After many layers of acrylics, glazes, gels and collage it ended up here!  It reminded me of a constellation so I named it Orion. I named the moths after Orions two brightest stars:  Rigal and Betelgeuse (don't say that 3 times)!!  :)  Visit my BLOG:  Donna Holdsworth Contemporary Art.  Thank you!

Sketches at the Zoo, Maria Kovalenko Leysens

We went to the zoo on Friday. Both of our sons are into art/animation and we all took sketchbooks.  I started with pen and ink on a moleskin watercolor book and did the watercolor washes at home. Next time I will do the watercolor washes on site and draw bigger.  It was fun. Stop by my blog to see links to my sons sketches from the day. (Just a little proud)

"Tomato Seller" by Taryn Day

bid

This man was sitting in his booth at the Reading Terminal Market, surrounded by boxes and boxes of tomatoes, but I decided that a close-up of his face was the most interesting way to look at him.

Early Morning Retreat - Acrylic Impressionistic Landscape Palette Knife Painting by Pennsylvania Painter Pat Koscienski

Early Morning Retreat
14" x 11"
Acrylic on board
Palette Knife

This painting was done using a photograph I had taken when painting on a farm off Wertzville Road in Mechanicsburg, PA. There was a large man-made pond on the farm, but this little pool of water was so much more natural and appealing. I used palette knife and sculpting medium for this painting. If you have any questions, or wish to purchase, contact PAT.

A Day to Remember by Linda Young

6-1/2" x 10" Watercolor
A Day to Remember

March 8, 2012
There's a reason; I believe, for everything.  On this day, I was at this very spot painting when a child in a stroller and her grandmother fell into the Boiling Springs Lake.

I dropped everything and literally, ran to reach for the stroller to pull the baby up next to that bench you see in this painting.  Grandma got out of the water by herself a little farther to the right where the tree limbs bend over the edge. Her cell phone went in with her and I called her husband to come get them.

Then Saturday, I called the husband after I finished working and he told me what had happened.  They were feeding the ducks when the lady dropped a piece of bread by the edge of the bricks next to the run.  Kicking it with her foot, she lost her balance and grabbed for the nearest thing to catch her fall.  Unfortunately, the nearest thing was the stroller the little girl was belted into and grandma and baby went into the lake.  Grandma received two black eyes and had a number of stitches over her left eye which was cut, I think when the stroller fell into her face.  Her glasses fell off into the water too which we recovered.

The ducks flew away when it all happened;  I left shortly afterwards too. Tomorrow is another day to paint plein air at the Lake and many others will be there too.  I think I may take up mud-wrestling if there any more "incidents"!

Untitled...  framed 18x24"
It feels like I have been working on her for ages.
She is a reenactor from the Shaker Village in KY.
A super nice woman who happily posed for me.
Not sure what I liked most...
her face, the folds in her dress or the window...

"Drifting" by SUSIE MORRELL

36" x 48"

oil on gallery wrapped linen canvas

This is a recent commission ~ It's so difficult to capture the nuance of hue transitions in a photograph. You really have to see this one in person. This work looks different in every room of my house depending on how the light hits it. The collector will hang this work on a wall where the sunlight will capture the mass of reflection from the lake. I worked from their photograph taken overlooking the impressive view from their newly renovated home in Doylestown, PA.

THE RED SHED An Original Oil Painting by Claire Beadon Carnell

'The Red Shed'

Oil on linen panel

 9 x 12

Last Summer I painted at the Beech Spring Farm

as part of the Gettysburg Festival.  It's such a

beautiful location, and I especially liked this red

garden shed in the late afternoon light - as well

as that great row of lettuce!  Can't wait to get 

my own garden started this year...fresh veggies...yum.

"Robins Nest" Contemporary Abstract Painting By Donna Holdsworth

This painting is done on 14x11 textured stretched canvas.  Multiple acrylic glazes (I stopped counting after 7!) and washes add depth. For the robin egg I used egg shell, gel and gloss medium.  I tried to use string gel for the nest, but that was a fiasco so I used gel instead!  Spring is in the air!  Visit my BLOG:  Donna Holdsworth Contemporary Art.  Thank you!

"Moonlight-Gold" by Tatiana Myers.

"Moonlight-Gold"

14 x 11" Oil on panel.

I wanted to give another try to my golden orchids. This time I tried few totally new things: new medium, new brushes and some new techniques... And this is what I ended up with and very pleased with results of my experiment. Painting was done in series of very delicate watercolor-like washes with using of so called Walnut-alkyd what I like much better compare to traditional alkyd. This medium is not aggressive and acts as an oil, however dries overnight just like alkyd. Works for me. I think it will going to me one of my favorite mediums.
I am also in love with my new set of brushes and looking forward to do more...
