Acrylic Floral on Canvas ~ "Lavender Blue and Rosemary Green" by Texas Daily Painter Nancy Standlee

"Lavender Blue and Rosemary Green"

12x12x1.5 acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas

This colorful floral with negative painting was first posted HERE and it has a name change and a new photo and is now posted for sale at my Daily Paintworks Gallery. This acrylic painting has some stencil, pencil and sgraffito work.

The painting has a lot of lavender in it and I thought about titles with "lavender blue..dilly, dilly". Remember that song?  Wikipedia has a nice discussion about the old lyrics dating from the 1600's and I chose a line from a later nursery song.

Textured Acrylic Mixed Media Abstract Triptych ~ "One Common Thread" ~ by Texas Daily Painter Nancy Standlee

"One Common Thread" 11068

30 x 24 in and 2 12" squares Triptych

Acrylic Textured Mixed Media Abstract

I picked up the larger piece Saturday from the Arlington Museum Show, decided I'd missed this companion piece to the two smaller paintings and hung the triptych in my entry hall last night where they will stay for awhile. I had been wanting to do a red painting for some time and wishes were granted in Granbury at the Carolyn Riegelman workshop. One difference, my walls aren't black but I thought these looked more dramatic against a black backdrop with the heavy textured red painting.

Inn at Loretto - Mangiamo Pronto, Santa Fe ~ Plein Air Painting by Texas Daily Painter Nancy Standlee

Loretta Inn - Mangiamo Pronto - Santa Fe

9 x 12 Acrylic on board

Framed in a 3" gold leaf plein air frame

In August I painted plein air in Santa Fe with Dallas instructor Niki Gulley. She chose this great spot near Canyon Road. We were secluded from the traffic and street noise beside a small steam and a picnic table. I took a few liberties in painting the Inn at Loretto. and Mangiamo Pronto. The yellow umbrellas on the patio were a charming scene.
The group painted on Friday morning until lunch and we were free until our 4:00 critique back at the hotel. I chose to forego lunch and start gallery looking on Canyon Road. Scott Williams took me to the top of the hill in the van and I was ready for pickup about 3:30 PM. Any person needs a good 3 or 4 days to explore the Santa Fe galleries and now I'd like to go back. Scott and Niki are a great husband/wife team to lead a workshop. Scott, the photographer, would be so patient to carry us to sites and bathroom breaks; however, it did take some cajoling to let us stop for 5 minutes at the art store at Artisans. Scott said it would be like herding cats to get us all back in the van. It was.

I ordered the plein air gold frame from ASW and the painting will be delivered to Visual Expressions Art Gallery for a fall show. Reception is Friday, November 13, 7-9 and it will hang until December 2, 2011. 

New Art Supply:
I always like to share new art finds. This is a great oil stick marker for mixed media work. It is used for livestock marking. The sticks come in several colors at very reasonable prices. I found this company online with a Google search. In some areas, limited colors could be found at local feed stores. Try QC Supply for LA-CO all weather Paintstik markers. 
We used similar sticks in the Carolyn Riegelman workshop in Granbury.

Santa Fe Adobe ~ Plein Air Painting by Texas Daily Painter Nancy Standlee

 

"Santa Fe Adobe"

11" x 14" 

acrylic on board

Framed in a 3" gold leaf plein air frame

In August I painted plein air in Santa Fe with Dallas instructor Niki Gulley. She chose this great spot  just off Canyon Road. The street was shady and lined with trees and friendly folks were going about their daily lives. They would come out of their houses periodically to see the progress of our paintings. Painting with a group gave me courage to think I might do this on my own someday but it is always so enjoyable being within shouting distance with some friends. 

I ordered the plein air gold frame from ASW and the painting will be delivered to Visual Expressions Art  Gallery for a fall show. Reception is Friday, November 13, 7-9 and will hang until December 2, 2011.

"Fort Worth Billy"    SOLD

8"x8" painted paper mixed media collage on canvas board

"Fort Worth Billy" was exhibited and sold at the historic Shanley House Gallery in Granbury, TX. I will be teaching a 2 day portrait collage workshop there November 29 and 30. See my blog post HERE for additional information.

Plein Air:

I have recently been posting about painting plein air and suggesting materials and equipment that is suitable for painting outdoors. During the recent workshop in Sonoma CA with Kathleen Elsey she had a cart that carries a lot of supplies if you drive to the location but it might not be suitable if flying. Jerry's Artarama has it and the seat can be used for sitting or a display of your art supplies. Click HERE to read more about the ArtComber.
