"Sunflowers" Contemporary Still Life Oil Painting by

Arizona Artist Mary Opat

 

7" x 5" Oil on Panel

 

This small painting is a study for a much larger one.  I tried to push

the contrast on the closest flower to depict the sun shining on it.

Busy Weekend Filled with Beauty by Pamela Blaies

Antique Roses - SOLD

Two art receptions kept me busy over the weekend. I was thrilled with the gorgeous opening reception for my solo show at the Goodrich Gallery in downtown Dallas. There was a nice turnout and several pieces sold during the opening including "Antique Roses."  If you didn't get a chance to make it to the opening, stop by and see it sometime this month - it is worth the trip!

At the Breckenridge Fine Art Center, I got to visit with other artists and collectors at this year's stunning national juried exhibit.  It is on display through September 7th and I'm honored to be included with my piece "Apples and an Antique Pitcher."

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.

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.
