The Sunny Side_ Minnesota River Arts Fair Plein Air

On The Sunny Side
9 x 12 Oil
©2012 Deb Kirkeeide

Saturday was the culmination of the plein air event at the first annual Minnesota River Arts Fair. This painting is one of two that I entered into the culminating show and competition. It was a brutal
week with the weather being horrendously hot and there were some dedicated painters out there
every day. I admit it, I'm a wimp when it comes to hot weather but I managed to get in 2.25 days during the week. This was painted at the end of the first day. 

The event was held at The Landing – Minnesota River Heritage Park, in Shakopee, MN. This 88-acre living history museum depicts life in the Lower Minnesota River Valley from the 1840s–1890s with authentic 19th-century buildings, demonstrations and a scenic river trail and overlook. It was my first time visiting the park - and I only live 15 miles away! Funny how you never get out to 'site-see' in your own area!

More paintings coming up!

Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshop in Santa Fe, NM - Aug. 12-18

Last year on our Santa Fe workshop, one morning we headed to a quiet street in downtown Santa Fe. It was a beautiful day, and we were all drawn to the unique adobe architecture typical in Santa Fe, the soft morning light, and the vibrant color accents on each home. I chose this periwinkle doorway for my quick demo in pastels, both for the striking contrast against the orange pueblo and also because the russian sage everywhere was so beautiful, and added some balance on the left hand side of the composition. We all thoroughly enjoyed the morning, even if a passing homeowner or two were disappointed that we hadn't picked their doorways to paint!


Santa Fe is the muse of many famous artists and photographers, and that could be you, too. Join us for our Plein-Air Painting and Photography Workshop Aug. 12-18 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. We will transport you to different picturesque locations, where you will be painting and (or) photographing scenes that inspired Georgia O’Keeffe and Ansel Adams. Santa Fe offers breathtaking vistas; sunny, dry weather, world class restaurants, galleries and shopping ensconced in a charming, 400 year old Spanish Colonial city that welcomes the new and exciting and never grows old. This is a not to be missed workshop in “The Land of Enchantment.”

Summer Hydrangeas by Sheri Jones

Summer Hydrangeas
8x10 oil on canvas
This was painted in the Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens yesterday morning. I met up with "The Doug Club" and about 10 other artist. 
  I used water based oil paints and a really limited palette.  I could not mix the right pink, so I  introduced a magenta  for the flowers.  I am limiting my palette and switching to water based paints in anticipation of a trip to Italy. The combination of both made this painting a real challenge. I did paint it with a palette knife and that was familiar. This is available for purchase. $200.00

Palette knife Sunflower Painting by Niki Gulley

"Bathed in Sunshine" ©2012 Niki Gulley
SOLD • 30" x 48" textured painting on canvas

Just Sold!  Inspired by our trip to Provence last summer, I was awestruck by these massive fields of sunflowers blooming. Seeing this brilliant carpet of gold, with its sea of faces smiling towards the sun, just made me feel happy and I wanted you to experience that joy, too. In person “Bathed in Sunshine” practically leaps off the canvas with its vibrant yellow petals and extremely thick three-dimensional paint.

Nothing is more heart warming than to watch children playing. These two boys were captivated with a plastic bottle and what the ocean waves could do to it. I had to capture their joy on canvas.

"HILL COUNTRY PASTURE" – plein air and studio landscape painting by Texas modern impressionist Jimmy Longacre

Today's painting, entitled "HILL COUNTRY PASTURE" is a 16"X20",  studio painting, oil on canvas panel, 
by Texas modern impressionist Jimmy Longacre. 

This one has all the fun stuff I like to find in a subject.  I enjoyed designing and executing my version of this lovely scene.

KMA2809 The Invisible Truth by Colorado contemporary painter Kit Hevron Mahoney

I am anxious to create more of these vibrant mixed media pieces as they have gotten such a positive response. The poly resin I have poured on top of the painting makes the colors rich and saturated, far beyond what a varnish does. This is one I wish you might see in person as the blues in the lower half of the little triptych are iridescent and I think the composition leaves the viewer with lots to ponder in their own imaginations.

Commissioned Fall Palette Knife Painting by Niki Gulley

"Where Paths Meet" ©2012 Niki Gulley
SOLD • 36" x 48" textured oil painting

Just delivered.  One of my new collectors asked me to create a painting for his wife based on one of her photos of a forest preserve in the Chicago area. I was excited to paint this custom piece for them since I've always loved tree scenes. I liked how the distinct curving lines along the path and rickety fence lead you deep into the woods. Playing with autumn golds and oranges contrasted against intense blues and purples in the shadows, I created energetic strokes with my palette knife to create web of texture in the distant tangled branches and dense falling leaves in the foreground. The final painting is full of movement, color and depth and was exactly what my new collectors were looking for!

Textured Birch Tree Paintings by Niki Gulley

"Autumn Gems" ©2012 Niki Gulley
SOLD • 36" x 48" textured mixed media on wrap around canvas

Just Sold!  Shimmering colors of autumn: Birch and Oak trees quiver, their light graceful leaves tremble and quake, silver and gold, scarlet and tangerine, with each light breeze. There is the quiet energy of change coming and vibrant color charges the woods. Crisp fall mountain air, a band of slender straight trunks cut bright strokes of white against a dazzling tumble of amber and crimson. Staccato strokes and shimmering hues add to the feeling of change in the air and suggest the wind whistling through the foliage.
