My work connects the texts, and ideas, in the vintage book, music or correspondence pages, with images those words evoke to comment on how the past still resonates, whether we are aware of it or not.
I’ve only been painting for five years and am mostly self-taught. Oil painting has become my passion. When I paint, I do not feel that I paint the painting; I feel that the painting paints through me.
As a realist painter my motivation is to share my visual experiences; to bring the outside in and pay tribute to the natural world while reminding us how rewarding it can be to reconnect with nature.
I paint for the sheer joy of it. I love to combine paint and pastels, charcoal, ink, and pencil into most of my paintings. For “Early Summer Riot,” I was dreaming of July while immersed in a snowy Massachusetts January.
Viewers of my work will hopefully experience some sort of remembrance or connection that’s uniquely theirs. I love the process of creating with oils, always seeking a harmony of color, texture and space.
My approach to creating is both experimental and intuitive and based on personal life experiences. I feel that each of us is a vessel and carries thoughts, feelings, joys, sorrows and dreams. We are the container.
Often color is the impetus for my painting, but my background in dance and sculpture quickly comes into play. I love to explore movement, mass, void, rhythm, line and shape.
I like texture, color and combining unorthodox elements into a cohesive composition. Working in an abstract style helps me complete an inner connection with viewers in that private space that assumes priority over words.
I am a watercolor artist who loves to paint florals. I am working on a series with a more graphic approach. I like to see lots of contrast with value changes.
I strive for essence, reacting to how an event or object makes me feel, rather than attempting to show how it merely “looks.” Always, the process leads me, not the other way around.
I love to use bold colors and layers of transparent paints to show the beauty and textures in the world around us. I aspire to leave the viewer with positive emotions that trigger good memories and feelings.
My creative process evolves intuitively from what I can only describe as a blissful “altered state.” Blending my chosen colors directly on the canvas leads the way and adding my signature whimsical dots completes each journey.
I paint landscapes, seascapes and wildlife captured in strong colors with stirring sunrises and sunsets. A buyer once said my art is “like looking out a window.” I’m good with that.
The play of light and shadow always intrigues me. I enjoy bringing the beauty of nature and fascinating faces to the attention of the viewer.
My art is inspired by nature which I interpret in my unique abstract style. Subjects include flowers, trees and landscapes. I often feature a lot of texture and metallic paint. Creation methods include scraping, palette knife, fine tipped applicators and sea-sponges.
I enjoy evoking questions in the viewer’s mind by using color and composition in an unusual way. This image is from a collection of abstractions formed by details in manmade objects which I found not only colorful but thought provoking.
I am a colored pencil artist who creates whimsical art using a palette inspired by the Impressionists. When people view my artwork, I hope it brings a smile to their face and brightens their day.
Photos, collage, laser prints—these create a pulse as grounds in my paintings, a continuous call-and-response. That click of significance—Richard Dreyfuss shaping mashed potatoes in Close Encounters, insisting, “This means something.”
My objective is to capture the moment, mood, or characteristics of an amazing place and share it with the viewer. I want people to engage in my photos, to see the beauty, and receive a sense of peace and calmness.
My process is a dance with the painting—layers of free flowing colors are added repeatedly, then permeated with various chemicals. Using this method, I am able to achieve unique results.
In an impressionistic, tonal style I hope to convey an emotional connection. My greatest hope is that my work gives its viewers this same sense of comfort and connectedness; a gentle place to rest. This process is transcendent and I am grateful.
A late-life sudden career change renewed my creative spirit. My imagination is enhanced by the randomness of fluid acrylic pour. Each image is unique with a subject created specifically for that pour.
I meld traditional art principles with exploratory techniques and materials. By using a cold wax medium, it is possible to build layers of color, light and movement, adding intrigue to mundane subjects.
I believe that inspiration is a “state of being.” My integrated art style serves up vignettes of life’s fleeting moments that would otherwise pass us by. I absolutely thrive on a roving aesthetic and its constant spark of re-invention.
Growing up surrounded by beautiful islands and marshlands, I developed a love for nature. A realism style artist, I strive to capture my subject’s true beauty, from the sun casting its glow to the shadows dancing below.
Photographs preserve memories and can be used as art. I love using photographs as a form of decoration and as a way to celebrate memories. It’s art that has meaning to those who see it.
As a recovering perfectionist I am finding that the simplicity of living in the Midwest is teaching me to enjoy wandering in the performance and mood of watercolor – so come wander with me.
Colours and experiences on travels worldwide motivate my oil paintings. Subjects include human portraiture and African animals. Using textured content, I help to create “an experience” for my painting purchasers to enjoy for years to come.
My current body of work explores the precarious fragility of nature and how precious it is to me. I am portraying a natural world that is spiritually and physically in balance; yet facing potential peril.
I do acrylic on canvas painting mixed with digital effects. My art is driven by my own experience with OCD.
Linda Steele’s 3 Flamingoes is still one of my favorite paintings. Her unique pour method has also captured my interest in other current paintings she has done, and they are very appealing.
Thanks for your comment, Mary. Linda really does transcend this technique by blending it with images of nature. I love the organic look of her backgrounds and also her use of color.
