Roses in Terracotta.
Roses in Terracotta
8x6in oil on canvas panel $125. SOLD
Roses left from my gallery opening. Too beautiful not to paint.
Artist Note.
I have been busy setting up the studio/classroom for Tuesdays session.
I am cautiously excited about teaching in the new space.
It will take some time to feel the comfort level I have here, but
the opportunity to have the artists exhibit their work in the studio
on the monthly, First Friday Art Ramble is worth the change. I feel
Art has to be seen and there are not always opportunities available.
I hope to make it a fun and relaxing situation in a true studio setting.
Will report back in September with details and photos.

Another beauty. It is fun how my lines and your structures can look like a mess, or at least an abstract feeling. Take a step back and the motive get so much clearer.
ReplyDeleteGlad you can sense the abstract feeling, Roger. I do aim for that first and then try to move it into a bit of impressionism
Deleteand fracturing.
Fun to look at this painting with the wonderful texture. I know your new studio will be great! Looking forward to more info in Sept.!

ReplyDeleteThank you and I loved your writing as well as your paintings on your blog. That chicken one was a hoot!
Deletebeautiful! also love the painting of your daughter. it took me at least six years to 'get over' not living in the same state as my mother. of course I call her every week and can see her with skype and ooVoo. yeah for modern technology. talk about it whenever you want and continue keeping us all going with your art!
ReplyDeletethanks Myra. It is special when someone shares their feelings and experiences.

Leave it to you Julie to make sure your students can display their art too...what a sweet thing to do for them. I love your terracotta vase...and of course your perfect flowers too.
