Labor Day Break? by Pamela Blaies

Texas Lilacs and Lemon Slices

24" x 18"

oil on linen

I am enjoying spending time with my family this weekend. Mostly fun time, but today we are working on cleaning out the garage together. WAIT! Isn't Labor Day supposed to be a day to take a break from labor? Oh well, it's fun doing it together! Speaking of satisfying labor, this painting is one I finished last week. My focus on creating a more loose feel in my work is really inspiring me. It requires a careful consideration of edges and thoughtful placement of brushstrokes.

New Video Demo by Pamela Blaies

Antique Roses

8" x 8"

oil on linen panel

So excited to be chosen as Daily Paintworks' Facebook Pic of the Day!

Click HERE to watch the video demo of this piece.

My videos are proof that out of the hours I spend on creating a piece of artwork, only a small fraction of time is spent with the brush actually on the canvas. I do a lot of intently looking at my subject, standing back to look at my work and and one of the most important steps....drinking coffee:) This was probably around Petite Painting #15, but I saved it to post until after the video was completed. Hope you enjoy!

Little Pink Teacups by Pamela Blaies

Bowl of Buttercups

6" x 6"

oil on linen panel

I've been admiring the buttercups along the road and went on a quest to find some to paint yesterday. It was a little too windy to paint outside, so I brought them in. I love the light play on the petals, they are like little, pink teacups.

Is Perfection the Enemy of Good? by Pamela Blaies

Tea on Tuesday

12" x 16"

oil on linen

I got up early yesterday and painted until late in the evening. I'm working on loosening up my style a bit. I tend to be a perfectionist and it is difficult for me to stop adding details and "perfecting" my paintings. For me, I find that some detail is necessary especially in the focal areas. But too much detail can take away from the experience. I did a couple of quick studies of these irises to get myself warmed up, then completed this painting. They are such a pretty color. I'm headed to the studio again today hoping they still look fresh so I can paint them again.

Romantic Reflections by Pamela Blaies

Be Mine

9" x 12"

oil on linen

I'm a little late sharing this one, but my sweetie gave me a dozen beautiful red roses for Valentine's Day. He knows how much I love flowers. I painted three of them scattered on a silver platter, which was a wedding present over 15 years ago. I see lots of symbolism in this painting. Even the reflections of the freshly cut, romantic roses in the slightly tarnished silver platter seem to say things to me.

Dreaming of Autumn by Pamela Blaies

Autumn Bouquet

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.
