Art in the Kitchen

I love this theme and I loved the show of artwork based on the theme that is currently at the Peninsula Art Academy.  The Ohio State Chapter of the National Kitchen & Bath Association are partnering with PAA to sponsor the exhibit of art for the kitchen. 
Of course I was there! And of course I brought along a few paintings.

These two fruity pieces are  5x5" on ampersand board. (And very special board it is. Nationally known artist  Don Getz has embarked on a year long teaching tour and in preparation for that he sold ALL his art supplies. For me the sale was like entering a cave of treasure. I'm hoping that the canvas and board I bought have a little Getz Magic on them.) 
 I entered this little (5x7")blast from the past. And I had to explain to my grandson just what it is:

Autumn

The evenings are cool and we've had a lot of rain lately. Signals that Autumn is here. I love the serious, adult colors of Fall and used the grays and mauve and violets in some new ACEOs. I've also painted a full size painting based on "October Light" (photo coming soon)

All three ACEOs are on ebay now:

       "October Light "

"Cranberry Evening"

"Purple Evening"

100th Birthday

Here in Hudson we are marking the 100th Birthday of our iconic Clocktower. A party is planned by the Hudson Heritage Association and they are including an auction of original art work.
I was happy to donate a painting for the event!

I thought of all the years it has been standing on the Green, chiming the hours and welcoming folks Hudson. I decided to paint a nocturne and I called it "Night Sentry"

               
For more information on Hudson, the Clocktower, the party and the auction visit this link to our local paper,  The Hub.

Tinkers Creek

This painting is 10 x 10 on gallery wrapped canvas. The beautiful parks that circle Cleveland are known as the Emerald Necklace and they are an inspiration for artists. In this painting I wanted to capture the sense of water moving and against the still serenity of the woods and rocks. Thalo green, hookers green, sienna, ochre and umber are the main colors used in the painting.

Coneflowers

These pretty yellow flowers bloom all thru the late summer here in Ohio. They are officially Rudbeckia aka BlackEyed Susan or  Coneflowers. I like to grow them because they are pretty indestructible, make for nice arrangements and are great subjects to paint. These aceos are two my newest pieces. 

Yellows

The marriage of gray and yellow makes a soft dreamy palette. There is a rewarding challenge in mixing beautiful grays and they bring out the best of yellow.




This painting is 9x12. Price on request.
