ORIGINAL CONTEMPORARY PANDA BEAR PAINTING in OILS by OLGA WAGNER - "12 DAYS OF GREY"

I started working on a little piglet, but my heart was not in it... Maybe tomorrow...

Here is another little Panda Bear. This one has more texture and also more color. Have you noticed how that color has been creeping back into my "Grey" Paintings...

SEPTEMBER COW - ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING and SUNFLOWERS

This one was finished in September, but life got away from me and I never posted him... There is something about the look on him that has grown on me tremendously. Such soulful eyes on the little man.

I was able to pick up these gorgeous flowers at my local supermarket. Can you believe the color combination on these sunflowers. Needless to say, there will be some sunflower paintings coming up in the future.

WORKSHOP WITH DREAMA TOLLE PERRY Day 1 - SOLD

I was extremely fortunate to be able to attend a most fabulous workshop with Dreama here in North Carolina. It was an inspiring experience to watch Dreama in action and  be able to paint in company of so many gifted and wonderful artists.  Big thank you goes out to Lynda Chambers for organizing such great event and to cook amazing lunches for us all!

Dreama provided some wonderful photos for us to use as reference. She trully has the most amazing eye for composition and color... Here is a bouquet of pink petunias and white daisies in a gorgeous blue glass vase. I must admit, I was a bit intimidated the first time I glanced at the reference photo, but after few quick demos by Dreama the paint started flowing!

To all you Artist's out there - If you ever have the opportunity to take a workshop with Dreama - Jump on it!!!

BASSET HOUND PAINTING UPDATED

What a day...Both, my hubby and I are sick, but what's worse is that my boy Nacho is quite a sick little kitty...It's really hard getting into the mood for painting when everybody is feeling rough, but one of my new year's resolution was that I would try and do something in my studio every day - even if it's just cleaning up or priming panels.
I went in to try and reorganize some of my clutter...that's if clutter can really be organized..During the shuffle, I came across a painting of the Basset Hound that I did few months back - It talked to me and asked for more color.. It is amazing how a mere action of cleaning up can lead to picking up a brush! The negative side of course is that now I lost interest in cleaning up my studio...Well there is always tomorrow...

RED DRESSAGE HORSE STUDY

This is a small color study that I worked on list night. I have had a 24 by 24 canvas sitting around for a while that was primed and ready to go, but was not fully sure the direction that I wanted to push the colors to... This glowing color combo is for sure one of the current forerunners... I have also entered this one in this weeks Daily Paintworks Challange which calls for using different color combinations to depict the original image.

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!

DRESSAGE HORSE IN PALETTE KNIFE

I had another 16x20 canvas that was ready to..Actually, it was a failed painting from few months ago, that made for a perfect surface to work on using palette knives. The hardest part of this painting was deciding on the color combo for the background. Originally, I was going for something with more drama, but in the end I decided on this eye pleasing combo.

PALETTE KNIFE BRIGHT WHITE HORSE PAINTING

After finishing the lily in powerful shades of red, I wanted to continue with more reds. This painting is based on the Venice Horses of St. Mark, the bronze statues of chariot race horses with the cutest roached manes. Love...Love the power of this color palette. I wander what this would look like on a much larger scale...

WILD PONY - ABSTRACT HIGHLY TEXTURED

My hubby absolutely loves this wild creation. It's one of the pieces that will be going with me to the Art Festival ion Chapell Hill on October 2nd. It is a bit scary to think that the festival is almost here and I still have few more pieces to put together for it. I really need to clone myself!
