A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words by Pamela Blaies
12" x 16"
oil on canvas
Yesterday, I delivered some of my newest paintings to Steve Beasley, a professional art photographer in Dallas, to be photographed. There is no way to fully experience a piece of art unless you are viewing it right in front of you. But sometimes viewing artwork on a screen is the only option. Lighting, color preciseness and glare was always the biggest struggle when capturing my artwork on camera. Compare my best photo just below (which took forever to adjust on Photoshop) with the professional photo - need I say more.

Dreaming of Autumn by Pamela Blaies
24" x 36"
oil on canvas
I had a dream last week of autumn leaves falling which inspired this painting. I gathered a few of my late hydrangea blooms, some sprigs of shrubs and fallen leaves I found in my garden to put this composition together. The bright red pomegranate was the perfect punch of color for all of the subdued earth colors. Looking at this piece gives me the fresh, warm feeling I always get when the cool weather of Autumn comes around.

MAGNOLIA-OLD AND NEW BUDS by Dottie Martz, dottiefromvirginia
Day 2 and finished painting of the magnolia buds. New flower bud and the last bud going to seed which are red.
Technique Demonstration by Pamela Blaies
20" x 16"
oil on canvas
After a workshop this fall and some experimenting over the past few weeks, my technique has begun to evolve a little. I used to do a pencil sketch before painting to make sure I was pleased with my composition. Now, instead I abstractly "block in" my composition with a large brush. I was able to adjust and make the silver pitcher smaller after the block in showed me how to make the composition stronger.

Gallery Tour in my Hometown by Pamela Blaies
10" x 8"
SOLD
Georgetown, Texas is my hometown and of course I love to see a thriving art community. This past weekend they hosted a Gallery Georgetown Tour, which saw a great turnout to the galleries around town. I was so happy to hear from the Stinger Studio Art Gallery that my painting Sunflowers and Red Verbena sold that night.

I'm looking forward to the Artists of Texas Annual Show at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas. It opens this weekend with a "meet the artist" reception this Saturday, November 3, from 11 am - 4 pm.
