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!

New Video Demo by Pamela Blaies

Antique Roses

8" x 8"

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.

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!
