OPA National Exhibit in Vermont this Summer by Pamela Blaies

Warm Glow
18" x 14"

I'm thrilled that my painting, Warm Glow, was accepted into the Oil Painters of America 2014 National Juried Exhibition of Traditional Oils. This year it will be held at the Bennington Center for the Arts in Bennington, Vermont. On display during the months of June and July, it will be a great time to visit Vermont and enjoy what I know will be a beautiful exhibit to see!

Demonstration Ad Nauseum? by Pamela Blaies

Still Life Study in Light
12" x 9"
oil on linen

I promise this will be the final blog about my first venture into demonstrating in front of a live audience. Since my last two blog posts discussed the upcoming event, you might have guessed I was a little apprehensive about it. But once I started painting, the nervousness just melted away. I only had about an hour to work, but the Weatherford Art Association was a great crowd and it was fun discussing my process as the painting unfolded. Here is the painting from that night.

Warmth on a Cold Day by Pamela Blaies

Warm Glow
18" x 14"
oil on linen

Painting light and air around these objects gave this whole composition a warm glow. I had an intentional purpose in exaggerating the light and reflections around the orange. I wanted to make sure the edges of the metal pitcher right up against the dark of the background drew the eye into the focal point, but didn't steal the focus. I love the drama it created of intense light. After I finished up the painting, I had to get out to run some errands and it was cold! Below freezing. I wanted to be back in my cozy studio in front of the "warm glow."  Hope you are all keeping warm!

New Year's Resolution by Pamela Blaies

Bright Rosy Morning
24" x 18"
oil on linen

Playing, staying up way too late and sleeping in was fun over the holidays, but I'm glad to be getting a little order back in my life. My New Year's Resolution is to work on keeping a peaceful balance in my life between all that I am trying to juggle. I find when I am disciplined about the time I spend in the studio, I am able to keep my art from taking away from my family and "mom" time. It worked pretty well this week, except I ignored all housework. Oh well - I guess something's gotta give!

Looking Forward to 2014 by Pamela Blaies

September Reflections
20" x 16"
oil on linen

Taking a break from the studio to spend time with my family over the Christmas holidays has been rejuvenating. It may seem a little early to begin thinking about spring, but I'm already getting excited about planning my schedule. I received invitations to exhibit in the Bayou City Art Festival Memorial Park in Houston, Texas and Southlake Art in the Square and I'm thrilled. They both rank at the top of the list of the best fine art festivals in the United States. I'll be participating in a few group exhibits this spring as well. Looking forward to the new year!

Process in Reverse by Pamela Blaies


In Season
12" x 16"
oil on linen
Click any photo for purchase information.

I usually do small studies before painting a larger piece, but this time my process got all turned around. As I set out my composition, intending to focus only on a couple of pieces of fruit, the still life just seemed to put itself together inviting me to create the larger painting, In Season. I liked the colors and light so much, I left the composition right were it was overnight and painted two Petites (6" x 6") the next day. Fun!

Two Oranges, Original Still Life Painting by Paula Peacock


While painting, I learned rather quickly that the peeled orange rinds in my still life set up start to droop and lose their shape almost right away. Especially under the hot light I had focused on it. I either had to paint very fast (which I can't) or peel more oranges. Though the title is Two Oranges, the reality is it took about 5 oranges by the time I finished.
This original oil painting on canvas titled,'Two Oranges', measures 9" x 12" and is enhanced beautifully by a wide, dark cherry wood frame.
