Here I used Transparent Orange to do a quick sketch. It is very, very loose at this point..
Transparent under painting has been completed and I am starting to work with opaques to lay in the detail on the flowers.

SUNFLOWER DAISY FLOWER ARRANGEMENT by OLGA WAGNER
Taking the workshop with Dreama totally re-energized my mojo ans infused it with new life. Her message to me was that I need to paint what brings ME joy and that the joy would come through in my work. Well, I LOVE flowers and flower arrangements, I always have fresh flowers on my coffee table and my garden (thanks to my hubby) has a large variety of flowering plants and bushes. I guess, what I am trying to say that you will be seeing more florals from me in the future!

I started with a quick sketch in transparent orange.
In this step, I laid in all the shapes
using transparent colors. notice the bright and yummy colors that I used to cover the canvas
Here is my new and greatest Glass Palette. I took an old and beat up floater frame with a grey gessoed panel, then had Lowes cut me a piece of glass to fit over the panel. I used some silicone to seal the edges and viola, it's perfect! The glass size is about 22x18, which gives me a large area to mix my paint...

MORE COWS by OLGA WAGNER
Continuing with the palette knife vs. brush exercise.
Again, I taped two 6x6 panels side-by-side to a larger panel. Then I sketched the same cow on both panels. This time, however, I started the palette knife painting first followed by the brushes. Also, I gave myself permission to play with the background and change it.

I also started this larger version of yesterday's cow. This one is done on a 24" by 24" Gallery Wrapped Canvas. The canvas was first prepared with modeling paste and orange gessoe. I used to use mainly black and grey gessoe, but now Orange is my color of choice. Holbein makes some really nice colored gessoe.
Work in Progress - Started putting down color.

COWS, COWS AND MORE COWS by OLGA WAGNER
Well, actually it is the same cow done done 2 ways... Yesterday, I was feeling well enough to spend several hours in my studio...And..Wow..I had some serious FUN!
I had this idea to work on the same subject, but in different styles...Those of you who follow my work on a regular basis, know that I love working with palette knives as much as with brushes. I felt it would make for a great exercise to take the same subject on the same size panel and work one with brushes and one with knives and then to compare the end result.
So this is what I did yesterday...
First, I taped two 6x6 panels side-by-side to a larger panel. Then I sketched the same cow on both panels. I started with brushes and completed the cow on the right first...For no particular reason...I grabbed the brush first, so I went with it.. Once done with cow #1, I grabbed a small palette knife and started on cow #2.
I love the end result. I did find that working on a small sized panel, the brush makes life much easier. You have more control to mix the paint right on the panel. I will do this exercise again..Next time I will start with the palette knife and finish with brushes...
So which one of the two is your favorite???

CONTEMPORARY COW PAINTING
Still fighting a sinus infection and cough...Antibiotics did not seem to resolve the issue..It's getting a bit old!
I managed to rework of of my larger cow paintings. After looking at it, I decided that I really did not like the original background...We artist have the right to change our minds...What worked for us originally, might not work as well after further scrutiny.

REFLECTION OF PEAR AND ORANGES in ACRYLICS
This one was painted in response to the January Challenge from the DPIAG Blog. The title of the challenge was "Reflections" - Entries will be posted on January 15th. This bad boy was done with acrylics on a highly textures canvas. I wish there was a good way to capture the 3D texture and depth of the various layers of color. Seems like I could benefit from photography classes!

CONTEMPORARY COLORFUL COW IN PALETTE KNIFE
This beastie was on my easel waiting to be finished for the past few weeks...I was hoping to finish this painting in time for my December Group Show at the Focal Point Gallery in Chapel Hill, but my mojo failed to cooperate. I guess, last night the stars aligned just right and a colorful cow was born!
Hanging to dry on my dining room wall. It really livens up the room!

GIRL WITH RED RIBBON PORTRAIT
This is a a rather large portrait (large for me) of my niece. It's 30inches by 40 inches and has been painted on a Gallery Style Canvas. Not only was I thrilled with the likeness that I was able to capture in this portrait , but also with the dimensionality of the hole that she is standing in. It really looks and feels like a hole.

In couple of weeks, NCDCTA is holding their yearly Dressage Championships in Williamston, NC. I will be there as a worker and also a Sponsor. This painting, which I absolutely LOVE, will be given out to the highest scoring Adult Amateur on Saturday!

ACRYLIC ABSTRACT - Black Cat
Sorry for being away for over a week. I took a few days off to visit my family in upstate New York. Had a great time seeing my parents, brother, sister and my cutest little nephew!
I have been working on a few abstract paintings and have several that I need to photograph and post on the blog. My camera, however, has not been feeling up to producing decent images for me. Even with the photo cube and good lighting, I have been getting less than stellar photos. Maybe for Christmas I will look at splurging on a Digital SLR camera - something like Nikon D40...
Here is a non-representational little abstract that I had a bit of fun with. Notice the kitty in the upper right hand corner?

What a cutie! - He is 8 months old and ALWAYS smiling...
