"Blue Ridge Mountain Cabin" by Diane K. Hewitt

"Blue Ridge Mountain Cabin" by Diane K. Hewitt

11x14" Oil on Canvas

My family has spent many wonderful long weekends over the past 12 years at this Blue Ridge mountain cabin in the Northwest Georgia Mountains.  It is set between Ellijay and Blue Ridge, GA, and is across the main road from the entrance to Springer Mountain, which is the location of the terminus of the Appalachian Trail.  We are not big hikers, although we have ventured there a time or two.  There are only 3 other homes in our mountain “neighborhood”, and we are especially fortunate that some of our best friends are our neighbors on the mountain.  With hardwood trees as far as the eye can see, and views that rival the very best boasted in Gilmer County,  much of our time at the log cabin is spent either lounging around the back deck viewing the year-round beauty of nature,  or by the wood-burning fireplace on the screened porch that we built onto the cabin years ago.  I’m glad that I have finally painted this family treasure!

Angel Painting by Judy Mackey

"I Know That You Feel Me Somehow"

8" x  8", Oil on Board

Drying on my easel right now.  Yippee!  I am feeling crazy happy right now.  I have a two commissions for "angel walking" paintings!  And the Gallery in Roswell, GA is asking for more angel paintings.  So this one, as soon as it dries is headed to Muse & Co...I like the colors in this one - gray and somber with a punch of yellow/orange in the frock.

Trees In Art by Jill Saur

Dramatic and emotionally engaging, this powerful painting emanated from the depth of my soul.  Filled with metaphor, this 20"x16" acrylic painting is titled, "Paso Doble".  It reflects the dance of life.  Sometimes the dance is soft and melodic, while at other times the dance is so dramatic, it requires the fortitude and strength of a matador.  

"Paso Doble", along with a Certificate of Authenticity, can be acquired from Contemporary Fine Art International, by clicking HERE.  To see more of my work, please visit my website at www.JillSaurFineArt.com.

ATLANTA IN 1970 - BY VICKIE MARTIN

ATLANTA 1970 - Collage and Acrylics

This is part of a series I began several years ago taking inspiration from old photographs of Atlanta to organize my paid.   This was collage with a loose interpretation of what the skyline of Atlanta looked like at that time, and painted over.   This was when the tallest building was the Regency with blue Polaris on top.  Some of the collage items used are old monoprints, airline tickets, newspapers.  Hope you enjoy!

"Simplicity"

8" x 8"x 1.5", Oil on Canvas

Muted soft colors.  I've been noticing in home decorating magazines and catalogs that they are displayin a vase of branches, without flowers, just simply branches.  So I've painted just that.

Pinks, Monica Burnette, Oils on Canvas

I do love painting on my lunch hour once or twice a week. I've found a great empty parking lot where the dappled light is fabulous.  The bad thing is that there are many empty parking lots in front of many empty buildings to choose from in the office park. Darned economy.

Country road by Diane Hooker

I have always loved country scenes
For their peaceful quality, vastness,
And simplicity.
In my quest this year to paint larger,
And a bit' out of the box' this work
Was done with plenty of paint and texture using a palette knife and brush,
In the spirit of the impressionists.
It is 16x20 on a panel, and almost
Finished!

"I Miss You" - White Flowers in a Blue Vase painting by Judy Mackey

"I Miss You"

16" x 12" x 1.5", Oil on Canvas

Today is a quiet day.  It's been raining quietly, hushing the usual day sounds, even the birds' chirping is muted.  That is why the title seemed to linger in my thoughts.  White flowers on a dark background.  There are a lot of colors in the dark background from rich warm browns to blues and grays.

"SOIREE II" by Kathryn Morris Trotter

"SOIREE II"

24x24" oil on canvas

by Kathryn Morris Trotter

www.kathryntrotterart.com

       This was a commission piece for a couple who wanted to surprise their daughter for her 21st birthday! How fabulous to start an original art collection at the age of 21!!  Coincidentally, we have the same birthday...how serendipitous! The only request is that I slip their daughter into the painting;0!

       This painting was based off of another painting of min that sold a few months ago.   These days, almost 100% of my commission work is based off of paintings that have sold.  As the artist, I don't mind doing something that is similar, but I have to be able to have creative reign and make changes that need to happen as I see fit.   As far as my fashion ladies are concerned, I have to be able to dress them according to the personality of each lady, and it would be an absolute faux pas for my ladies to ever show up in the same dress for a social occasion...hence, you will see some of the same ladies make their way into different paintings but never donned in the same dress.  They have a plethora of dresses, gowns, and outfits to choose from when it comes to a special soiree.  Cheers!

SWAN REPOSE I by Cathy McIntire, 14"x 11"

Swan Repose I, Oil on Linen
See my Blog

This original oil of a Mute Swan is painted on 3/8″ linen gallery wrap canvas. I think I am attracted to swans because they are white, as well as the fact that they are just such graceful and beautiful birds.

Painting white images requires a bit of understanding of warm and cool colors, and how they can be used to show depth and dimension, giving the subject a three dimensional quality. White is never just white, and that is both the challenge and the fun!

A lovely rose as my first commission was quite the task!  I love how the shadows developed to show the folds of each petal.  The client was very pleased with the creation!
