God Bless America! by Pamela Blaies

Blushing Basketful

6" x 6"

oil on linen

I hope you enjoyed Memorial Day weekend. It seems inadequate to say "Thank You," but how thankful I am to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for my freedom. God Bless America!

My Petite Painting Project - 100 paintings in 100 days is coming right along. I think I am getting close to painting #60! These roses didn't last very long and I had too many commitments, so I wasn't able to paint them enough. I think I will go to the market today and get some more!

Rose Care Tip by Pamela Blaies

Heirloom Pinks

6" x 6"

oil on linen panel

Love these Heirloom garden roses I found at the market! The way the petals curl inward toward the center is so charming. I put them in this footed glass bowl which perfectly shows them off. I am keeping ice cubes in their water, so they won't open up too fast (warm water makes them open up sooner) and hopefully I will be able paint them for several more days.

"Under The Surface" Original Still Life Floral Painting by Colorado Artist Nancee Jean Busse

I belong to local CSA. When we pick up our weekly allotment of produce, sometimes we are allowed to pick a bouquet of flowers from an unruly patch of Colorado wildflowers. I gathered this armful of blooms, brought them home, and placed them in a plain glass vase and put them on my windowsill. I loved them! The star of the show for me, though, was how beautiful and delicate the stems under the water’s surface looked. The background is a series of glazes, all whites, off-whites, beiges, pale pinks, and browns. The flowers are, well… flowers. This painting received an honorable mention in the Artist’s Magazine annual competition: 7800 entries–18 winners. Even though the original sold fairly quickly, the prints are wonderful!

This painting is sold, but prints are available, contact Nancee at njovmc@gmail.com

Poolside Plein Air by Pamela Blaies

Backyard Begonias

4" x 4"

oil on linen panel

I don't do much plein air, but this afternoon was so gorgeous I couldn't resist painting poolside. It was warm with a light breeze - just enough to keep away the bugs! These cheery begonias were in a little shady spot with just a bit of light filtering in.

Yesterday's Rose by Pamela Blaies

Yesterday's Rose

6" x 6"

oil on linen panel

I cut this rose to paint a little while ago, but didn't get to it that day. Today, I decided I wanted to put it in my composition. Alas, it was to pooped to party and began dropping petals left and right. I still loved its graceful shape and decided the fading beauty was the heart of this little piece.

"Putting on a Show" Original White Iris Still Life Watercolor Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

Pick of the Day by Pamela Blaies

Bashful

6" x 6"

oil on linen panel

This red rose came from my garden. I placed it in the bud vase facing away from me, because I liked the way the leaves turned. It almost looks shy, so I named it Bashful. I was excited that yesterday it was chosen as the Facebook Pick of the Day by DailyPaintworks - Yea!

In A Pickle by Angela Sullivan

I find glass jars quite the challenge. It is interesting to decide where you will let the background

color peep in to add reflection and light. I liked manipulating the paint to form the texture on the pickles. I originally planned to make definate bumps but opted to leave them as they were. This painting is much

more beautiful than this photo shows.

Colorful Cast Shadows by Pamela Blaies

Daylilies in a Ball Jar

6" x 6"

oil on linen panel

I painted this one pretty fast and loose and it was a lot of fun. I think I'm getting the hang of cast shadows from colored glass. I also like the scumbling effect I got with the highlights of the white napkin. It gives it nice texture and a feeling of energy.

Daylilies and Cobalt by Pamela Blaies

Daylilies in a Blue Bud Vase

6" x 6"

oil on linen

I had to cut these Daylilies, from my yard, pretty short for this little bud vase. But I really wanted to put them with cobalt blue for a striking combination. I put the light source behind the setup and down pretty low. It not only made the cobalt glass cast vivid shadows onto the white napkin, but also illuminated the top Daylily from behind which gave it an orange glow.

What's Your Favorite Morning "Pick-Me-Up?" by Pamela Blaies

Morning Coffee

6" x 6"

oil on linen panel

I sit with my morning latte while posting this blog. Coffee - I love everything about it. The cups, the smell, the flavored fixin's, etc. I splurged last year and picked up a Nespresso machine, which makes the perfect latte - my morning drink of choice. I like to try new flavors and this morning I am trying some Almond Joy flavored creamer with my milk. It's nice with just a touch of flavor. Share your favorite morning drink of choice!

You Have to Know These Things When You're a King by Pamela Blaies

Farm Fresh

6" x 6"

oil on linen panel

Why are some eggs brown and some are white? Apparently, it's all about the chicken. Hens with white feathers and earlobes produce white eggs and those with red feathers and red earlobes produce brown shelled eggs. I didn't even know chickens had earlobes! My husband often uses this appropriate Monty Python quote, "You have to know theses things when you are a king."

Red Tulip Painting

Do you love the many hues of red? I do and I paint with them often. The color red stirs excitement, passion, and imagination. My 36"x36" acrylic painting on canvas, "Rhapsody In Red", was a labor of love. Reds can be very difficult to work with when blending their many hues. Those who know me know that I never give up. This painting was no exception!
