Trees Will Bow Down by Tracy Haines, Colorado Painter of Colorful Landscapes

This 6x8 oil is one of several studies I did on a 3 day solo painting trip in the mountains. I had a series of crazy mishaps, but still had a wonderful time. On day 1 I got caught in the rain and lost my keys, searching for them about 40 minutes. I had no cell coverage and was stranded and scared.

Southwest Art Cover



I am very excited to be chosen for the cover of the October 2010 Southwest Art Magazine. The painting featured is an Acrylic landscape Summer in Colorado 48 x 36 and is available at Brushstrokes Studio Gallery. The article entitled " Focus on Rocky Mountain Artists also features some of my landscape work.
I know this blog is usually a venue for my daily paintings but I thought it would be nice to let everyone know what is happening in my day to day art life.
I'm in partnership with two incredible Denver artists Kit Hevron Mahoney and Anita Mosher. Collectively we own and operate Brushstrokes Studio Gallery. It's a working studio gallery located in Denver Colorado. We have had the good fortune of creating and showcasing our work at the gallery for the past eight years and plan to continue our artistic destiny. We are having a show entitled The Landscape Personified and will open Friday October 1, 2010. Check out our web site to see the paintings for the show.

Enough for now and back to daily paintings next week!

KMD2523 Willow Creek Loop by Kit Hevron Mahoney (landscsape, Texas Hill Country, original fine art)





I have wanted to paint this scene since finding it last spring on my visit to Texas and the Hill Country when the bluebonnets were in bloom. I was drawn to the amazing red cliff in the background that contrasted all the brilliant spring greens in the grasses. I loved the serenity of the slow flowing creek in the middle of the scene.
I have painted this larger and am showing it in our upcoming "Landscape Personified" show this Friday at Brushstrokes Studio Gallery.

"Blue Sky Day in the Rocky Mountains" by Karla Nolan, framed glass painting

ALERT: You are about to view art of a different nature. These are paintings on glass -- that is, painted directly onto glass with specially formulated glass paints. They are always framed for the protection of the glass. The paints often are transparent and sometimes opaque, giving a stained glass appearance under good light. They, like all fine art, should not be hung in direct sunlight. The photographs do not do them justice -- my colors are very vibrant. Close ups are available, just e-mail me for information (see below). In most instances, click on the actual image for an even larger image to view -- you'll see lots of different items such as marbelization, transparent or opaque parts of the work -- try it and see! Commissions are accepted.

"Blue Sky Day in the Rocky Mountains" , 9"x32" edge to edge glass, sold framed as shown. There are so many hues in the sky, many of them shades of blue, that I just could not resist putting them all into one scene! Paypal accepted, $995 plus s&h to be determined at time of sale.  Write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information and thank you for looking!

"The Skies at Capitol Reef (Utah)" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting

I painted this art piece some time ago and was never satisfied with it; something about the skies, too flat and lifeless. Don't you think the skies have a lot of life in them? I do. When I was younger and we'd be driving somewhere as a family, I'd just space out in the car, looking at the skies, seeing only blue. I was anything but observant. Yeah, there were a few white clouds around...but just blue and white in the sky. Now my take on it is that artists should be especially observant, but I wasn't an artist back then or even considering becoming or imagining being an artist. The sky was blue, that was that, no more to say. As hard as it is to say: I was wrong! Very wrong. The skies have so many colors in them on a daily basis, it is amazing....light blue, cobalt, cerulean, aqua, turquoise, sea mist greens, of course whites, greys. Looking back now, I realize that there's far more to art and observance than meets the eye, no pun intended! Open your eyes!!!!!

Yesterday my plein air group painted at a new location, a house and garden new to us, anyway.  The house is at least 100 years old, and the house, garden and all the sheds and greenhouse were so well maintained.  I was drawn to the shadows and light on the shed wall.

Joe in Paris 7 x 5 Acrylic Urban Landscape of Paris France








$100.00 $10.00 S/H

I don't usually know the people that are in my urban paintings but this time my good friend Joe was contemplating getting a cup of American coffee in this little cafe. I can still remember him saying that all he was craving from America was a big cup of coffee with cream. We went inside the cafe and were treated to a wonderful late but alas we would have to wait until we got home for that large cup of Joe.

The Talk About You

Be yourself and choose subjects, painting approaches, colors and styles that you prefer. By doing this, I believe "YOU" will shine through your paintings, as only you can. As great as other painters may be, you don't really want to be them. Be your authentic self! You may not please everyone, but is that what your really want or do you want to be happy and pleased with your own paintings?
