Beach, Contemporary Landscape Paintings by Amy Whitehouse 18" x 24", Oil, $800 As you know, I could paint the ocean and the beach everyday, and not get tired of the subject. Especially when it's 108 degrees outside as it is now, here in the desert. As I prepare for my new position as Art Teacher for grades K-2 and 6-8 YIKES I haven't had as much time to paint. But this is my latest, and I'm pretty happy with it. I can almost feel the powdery sand all over my feet, and almost hear the comforting sound of the surf. If interested in purchasing this painting. please let me know. amy.whitehouse@me.com To see more artwork: AmyWhitehousePaintings.blogspot.com AmyWhitehousePaintings.com

Blue Hearts Cottage - Flower Painting Classes and Workshops by Nancy Medina Art

http://nancymedina.fineartstudioonline.com/workszoom/1687918

Blue Hearts Cottage
by Nancy Medina
14X14
Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas





Blue Hearts Cottage is the newest daily painting in Flower Mound Studio, a little scene from Coronado Island, California. I took the liberty of adding two tiny carved hearts under the window, the Valentine's Day holiday lasts quite a while here, it seems. Just inside the entryway on the little carved table in the foyer you'll find a box of Godiva chocolates. I saved one of the truffles especially for you...if you hurry it might still be there!

Green Skies, Contemporary Landscape Paintings by Arizona Artist Amy Whitehouse



12" x 16" Oil, $175

This painting has lots and lots of texture.
As I've said before, I love a green sky.
Maybe Vincent was my introduction to a green sky,
who knows?
This scene is reminiscent of my favorite
growing-up  vacation memories
at Atlantic Beach, Florida.
It  also makes me think of the California beaches I've loved to visit.

If interested in purchasing this contemporary seascape,

Garapata California plein air oil landscape paintings

garapata carmel california
Garapata Strength   5" x 7" oil on canvas panel   $100.
I tried to take some photos of work in progress, but like usual I missed a few steps. For this painting I used a cotton canvas for the support, not my favorite. I used some of Gamblin's solvent free get to help move the paint when I first layed in the paint. It helped to spread over the rougher canvas weave.

The second painting was a small barn with a patch of wild mustard.

On to a new location tomorrow. I will be staying and painting with a friend in Redwood City, CA for a couple of days.

Incoming Tide
Incoming Tide 5x7 oil plein air  $100. (I need take a new photo tomorrow. The shadows are the easel)
I had planned to start yesterday, but was ill-prepared. I forgot to throw in a new tube of white paint.
Needless to say, it made it difficult to paint. I had a scraper yesterday and gave up. I waited until the Gamblin booth opened and picked up a big tube of white along with some other colors. In these paintings I used their new grays and whites: cool & warm white, warm portland gray, cool portland gray, and buff titanium. I really had a fun time mixing and painting with all those grays. It was a good day working with grays. It'll help me to prepare for Art in the Open in Ireland.
I'll start posting some more tomorrow. All of these paintings will be 5x7, $100. each.
Talk to you all later.

"Lafayette Reservoir" Landscape Painting by Brooke Crosthwaite


Lafayette Reservoir
Oil on Canvas panel
8"x10"
$160.00

This painting was done on location at Lafayette Reservoir in Lafayette, California in 2012. I loved the different elevations of hills in this landscape. As I was painting the landscape transformed from foggy and grey to sunny and vibrant. I tried to translate that into this painting by using both color palettes, vibrant light in the foreground and blue hues for the background. I find that plein air painting best captures the transformation of landscapes and true colors of nature. Something that a photograph will not capture.

"Monterey Coastline" Landscape Painting by Brooke Crosthwaite


Monterey Coastline
Oil on Canvas panel
8"x10"
$160.00

This was inspired by a photo I took in Monterey, California in 2012. I wanted to capture the warm sand and growing cloud formations. It's my goal to see and paint as many California landscapes as possible. I love how diverse each area of California can be. From the beautiful coastlines to the Rocky Mountains, I want to display it all in my work.

California Dreamin' ~ Beach and Ocean Paintings by Arizona Artist Amy Whitehouse



9" x 12,"  Oil, $60

This is it!  The last day of 30/60 ~
I could have named this Florida Dreamin' or any other beach area...
As much as I love Arizona - and I do!  it's an amazing, beautiful state -
I just think I need to live at the beach at some point.
So California, here I come - for a quick fix "for my daughter"
(somebody has to do it).
This painting has 1.5" painted sides so is ready to hang.
I saved my favorite for last.  If no one wants to buy it,
I'll be o.k.

Just FYI, the prices of the paintings posted during 30/60 will all return 
to the "normal" prices on Saturday.

Day 13, Project 125 Painting Oregon farms

© 2013 Becky Joy       Oregon Farme, Trees and More Trees      oil   6 inches x 6 inches   $125.

I finally made it to my destination in Oregon late last night. It was a light, typical rain almost all through my drive in Oregon.  I slept in this morning, but did get out for a short time later in the day. In this scene I was attracted to the clouds that enveloped the top of the mountain and of course, the green field.

Everything is pretty green right now, and a nice, pleasant temperature. It will be heating up by the end of the week, sounds like record temps to me. I visited with family today and will be seeing friends and more family while I'm here. I'm a fourth generation born in Oregon City (my son was a fifth). You can imagine that I have a lot of relatives here. It's funny every time I come up here, I'm struck by how green it is, certainly compared to the desert. Summers are perfect in the Northwest.

Tomorrow I'm hoping to start getting out and doing a little more plein air, hopefully early in the morning. You'll see what I see tomorrow.

I still have space in my one day workshop in Hood River, OR on Sept 4 during the plein air event that I will be judging. Check out the details here.

I'll be here tomorrow.
