Don't Miss the Cottonwood Art Festival by Pamela Blaies

Knockout Roses and Flow Blue

6" x 6"

oil on linen

I am looking forward to Cottonwood Art Festival this coming weekend. It will be Saturday and Sunday, October 5th and 6th, in Richardson, Texas. Don't miss this festival as it is ranked as one of the best in the nation and is always a top-notch show! I've been busy framing and packing and doing paperwork in preparation, but I always manage to get some painting time in. Here is one of my newest Petite Paintings up for auction.

Life's a Bowl of Cherries by Pamela Blaies

Bowl of Cherries

5" x 7"

oil on linen

SOLD

I love to paint cherries, but had a hard time getting my hands on any to paint over the winter and spring. The other day I was so excited when I found them at the market. I promptly bought 2 bags - one to eat and one to paint. Then I went on a little cherry painting binge. "Bowl of Cherries" just sold, but check my daily paintworks gallery to see more cherry paintings!

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!

Taking Time to Smell the Roses by Pamela Blaies

Antique Rose and China

6" x 6"

oil on panel 

SOLD

This sweet rose came from an old-fashioned climbing rose I have growing on my fence. Over the past few days it has been filled with tons of beautiful, sweet pink roses. I brought an armload in to enjoy, they have a beautiful scent that has filled my studio. I hope to paint several paintings of them, because I know I won't get the chance again until next year. This one is sold, but if you love antique roses as much as I do, keep checking because there will be a few more!
