Living in the scenic Pacific Northwest, my current paintings are observations and interpretation of what I see while walking nearby trails, visiting beautiful locations or bringing the world indoors to my studio. I currently work primarily in oil as a painter of landscape, still life and portraiture.
Attending the Plein Air Convention and Expo in San Diego in 2016, fanned a flame to paint outdoors as much as possible. What a difference outdoor painting brings to vibrancy in color and observing the delicate colors of shadows in an outdoor scene! Seeing demos by some of the world’s top plein air and landscape artists was a uniquely inspiring and educational opportunity. I have also taken painting and drawing workshops from other award winning artists; such as, Mitch Baird, Thomas Jefferson Kitts, Eric Jacobsen and Yer Za Vue.
I started out with a degree in Commercial Art from MATC and worked in Los Angeles for several years creating business graphics for a management consulting firm. Returning to school, I earned a degree in art from Cal State Long Beach and then a Master’s Degree in Art Therapy from Loyola Marymount University. After moving to the Pacific Northwest, I eventually was invited to paint a 70-foot mural at my church and turned my attention to fine art permanently. Creating art through painting has been a lifelong passion that I now have the opportunity to devote myself to fully.

9 tips for picking the perfect paint
Color accounts for 50 percent of our responses to an object or place, according to research, so choosing the right color for your living space could mean the difference between a feeling of cozy happiness and one of discomfort. Choosing the right color for you takes a lot more these days than just asking for blue or white paint. Within each color band, exist hundreds of varieties from “Twilight Blue” to “I Dream I Can Fly.” (Yes, that last one is actually a name of a paint color from Benjamin Moore.) If picking paint colors raises your blood pressure, check out these nine tips for making it a little easier:
1. Like it first
Before you head to the paint store, pick a color you already know and love in something you already have. New computerized paint mixers can match any color on just about any object you can drag into the shop.
2. Paint a portion
Paint a small part of your room or an outdoor wall, whatever you are painting, and see if you like it before committing to buying by the gallon. You might even want to live with it a few days before making a final decision. Even less of a commitment would be to paint a poster board and hang it in the room.
3. Seize the mood
Decide the mood of the room you are painting. Bedrooms should feel restful and soothing, a dining area should be sociable and stimulating. You might want a vibrant kitchen or one that looks productive and industrial. If you are looking for excitement in a room, go for warm, bright colors. Restful and soothing room colors should be picked from the cool, pastel palettes.
4. Consider the lighting
Natural daylight shows the truest colors, while incandesent lighting brings out the warm tones and yellows. Fluorescent lightings creates a sharp blue tone. See if your paint store has a light box for you to use when comparing paint chips, and consider the type of lighting that will be most dominant in the room.
5. Learn the lingo
Hue is the color, while saturation refers to how dark or light the color is. Intensity refers to the brilliance factor in color. For a more active space, you’ll want more intense color. For light-colored rooms, consider colors that are more saturated, off-white or light pastel. They won’t feel so stark or bright.
6. Think outside the walls
Whatever your ceiling is made of, a nice tint can change the entire look and feel of a room for the better. Going with a strong color on the ceiling adds drama to the room.
7. Roll with the color wheel
Use a color wheel to illustrate the visual temperature of a color and open the door to new mixes and spectrums. You’ll find new ways to mix and match and bring out the real personality of a room.
8. Color relations
Go bold with monochromatic schemes that use colors from the same family, highlighting walls and trim differently in the same space.
9. Finish with a flourish
Choose different finishes that will complement your rooms and highlight the beauty of a wall or color shift. Matte next to glossy or semiglossy can create a cohesive look in a room with little wall space.

Looking to give your home a new, revitalised look without breaking the bank? You don’t have to splurge on a range of new furniture and fittings to achieve this. A fresh lick of paint can help to refresh and update any room.
We spoke to painting expert Kevin Coghlan, managing director of award-winning paint and painting tool supplier MRCB, about getting a professional finish when painting your home yourself.
Preparation is key
Before you start, it’s vital you properly prepare the room.
Our expert says: Move all furniture away from the walls toward the centre of the room and cover with sheets to keep safe from any paint splatters that might occur.
Lightly sand your walls to ensure a smooth surface. Make sure all walls are clean and as dust-free as possible. The areas around light switches and sockets may need particular attention when cleaning.
If possible, remove your curtains while you paint. Place a drop cloth or layers of sheets on the floor to keep it protected. Tape around windows, doorframes and skirting boards.
Plan ahead and have the necessary bits and bobs to do the job.
Our expert says: It is essential to have a good quality roller brush, with both a sturdy head and frame - spending a few extra euro is really worth it! It means that more paint is picked up by the brush and you won’t need to re dip the roller as often. Ultimately, the paint will be dispersed more evenly, resulting in a flawless finish.
Equip yourself with a good selection of brushes; a smaller brush is perfect for cutting in around ceilings, doorframes, windows, cupboards and skirting boards.
Beware very cheap masking tape - it can tear paint when being removed or leave behind some adhesive on the wall.
Have you ever painted a room in your home– only for 24 hours later the colour to change? What was once a springtime duck egg is now turquoise.
Our expert says: A key consideration here is to know the orientation of the room you are painting, because of the impact of natural light on colour.
East-facing rooms will receive natural light in the morning, whereas West-facing rooms receive natural light in the early evening – considering the time of day you spend most time in this room could influence your colour choice.
If the room is either East or North facing, natural light can appear somewhat blue, so choosing slightly warmer tones to balance this is be recommended.
If the room is South or West facing, then slightly cooler or neutral colours are best, although South-facing rooms can work with most colours.
The colour of your flooring can also come into play. If it is a dark or intense colour it can reflect somewhat onto the walls and change the tone every so slightly.
I’d recommend buying a sample pot of a colour and test it out at home because the tone can appear different on the colour chart or under the lighting of the paint shop. Avoiding cheaply made paint means your chosen paint will be more pigmented and thus will interact with light better.
There are numerous paint formulations to choose from. Do you know your matte from your gloss or eggshell?
Our expert says: The most popular paint formulation in Ireland at the moment is a matte finish – and for good reason! Matte is fantastic for hiding imperfections and giving your walls an overall flawless appearance.
Pro-tip: Some mattes cannot be cleaned however so check this before purchasing. Washable mattes are available for just a little extra cost and are very handy to just give a quick wipe down when cleaning, without risk of removing or damaging any paint on the wall.
Soft sheen and eggshell finishes are also worth consideration as they very easy to clean. However these finishes can sometimes show up imperfections on your walls and some lighter colours run the risk of appearing clinical.
For woodwork a satin finish is recommended over high gloss.
Number of coats/formulations and priming
Certain colours may require more coats, with priming as an option.
Our expert says: Always budget for two coats of paint as this is recommended for the best finish. This can vary, depending on paint quality, as a cheaper paint may need three or even four coats to achieve a consistent look.
While primers are not essential, we highly recommend using them if painting your home yourself - they really help in achieving the perfect finish. A good primer will also prevent damage to paint if cellotape or blu-tak is used on the walls and later removed.
Water based paints are dominating the paint market now as they are less damaging to the environment, dry faster and have a less overpowering odour compared to oil based paints. With water based paints you have less need for white spirits as they clean up with water instead. They also hold their colour better than oil based, so you have a lower risk of yellowing, over time.
How much paint to purchase?
Let’s face it, we’ve all been there – that moment you realise you haven’t purchased enough paint for the job, or the frustrating feeling of having loads left over and feel you’ve spent excess money.
Our expert says: As a rule of thumb, you can expect to cover 12 square meters with one litre of paint. Make sure to measure the width and height of your room, taking into account the size of any windows or doors in the room. Then, when you’re at your local, independent paint shop, they will be able to calculate the approximate amount of paint you need. Remember to factor in two coats of paint.

Definition:(noun) - Abstract art can be a painting or sculpture (including assemblage) that does not depict a person, place or thing in the natural world -- even in an extremely distorted or exaggerated way. Therefore, the subject of the work is based on what you see: color, shapes, brushstrokes, size, scale and, in some cases, the process (see action painting). Abstract art began in 1911 with such works as Picture with a Circle (1911) by the Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944).
Kandinsky believed that colors provoke emotions. Red was lively and confident; Green was peaceful with inner strength; Blue was deep and supernatural; Yellow could be warm, exciting, disturbing or totally bonkers; and White seemed silent but full of possibilities. He also assigned instrument tones to go with each color: Red sounded like a trumpet; Green sounded like a middle-position violin; Light Blue sounded like flute; Dark Blue sounded like a cello, Yellow sounded like a fanfare of trumpets; and White sounded like the pause in a harmonious melody.
These analogies to sounds came from Kandinsky's appreciation for music, especially that by the contemporary Viennese composer Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951). Kandinsky's titles often refer to the colors in the composition or to music, for example "improvisation."The French artist Robert Delaunay (1885-1941) belonged to Kandinsky's Blue Rider (Die Blaue Reiter) group, and with his wife, Russian-born Sonia Delaunay-Turk (1885-1979), they both gravitated toward abstraction in their own movement Orphism or Orphic Cubism.
Wassily Kandinsky, Concerning the Spiritual in Art (Über das Geistige in der Kunst), 1911.

Art and painting for kids is a truly enjoyable activity for children. Many students take to painting while at Dikshant and gain a lot of expertise under the guidance of our Art Faculty. The best paintings are on display in the school corridors and are also specially exhibited during Parents-Teachers Meet.

Art plays an important element in formative minds and encourages creativity and alternative ways of looking at objects.


(WJET/WFXP/YourErie.com) — Nighttime line painting is being planned for area roads this week.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that both westbound and eastbound lanes of Interstate 90 will see nighttime line painting. The painting will be from the Ohio state line to Route 6N, east of Route 18 to about Route 832, and east of Interstate 79 to Route 531.
Nighttime line painting also is planned at Presque Isle State Park this week.
PennDOT said motorists should stay at least 500 feet from equipment, not pass any paint trucks and not cross any wet paint lines. A PennDOT news release noted that paint trucks periodically pull over to let traffic pass.
According to the news release, the paint dries in about 90 to 120 seconds under ideal conditions. In less than ideal conditions, it could take several minutes for the paint to dry.

Art: Liberate and create direction
Painting is an alchemy process for me. I liberate everything that is around me and within me as much as possible and at the same time I create direction with all kinds of potentials that integrate harmoniously with each other.
The paintings reflect the deepest reality that I am aware of and can possibly experience. I use all my senses in this process. There are many dimensions between these experiences, perceptions and feelings, and the moment the paint hits the canvas. This results in different layers of abstraction in the work. If you look well you see several paintings on one piece of canvas. I use metaphors, figures, symbols or just colours. The impressions are perceived as classical, contemporary and very futuristic. I consider time frames as concepts and parts of the potentials, which you can choose to step into or ignore. Obviously, there is always movement in the paintings, because in reality everything continuously evolves and changes.
Nowadays, people that want to be free is a recurring theme in the world around us. I believe liberation is a continuous and natural process for individuals, organisations and societies. The awareness of this process is increasing.
Therefore, the overall theme of my work is freedom. This becomes visible in the way I paint as well as in the diversity of impressions in my work. Depending on the perception and choices of the viewer, something different can be experienced. This makes the paintings very dynamic, original and always fascinating.


The Picture "Madonna della Loggia" will be Shown in Two Russian Cities
OREANDA-NEWS. Sberbank will present Sandro Botticelli's painting "Madonna della Loggia" in his office at the Far Eastern Federal University during the Eastern Economic Forum (WEF), the bank's press service said on Thursday.
The painting "Madonna della Loggia" by an outstanding Italian Renaissance artist left the Uffizi Gallery for the first time. The blind and the visually impaired can touch the masterpiece. Together with the original painting "Madonna della Loggia" put up a tactile copy of the work.
Madonna della Loggia is one of Botticelli's early works. Standing in front of the arches of the loggia, which gave the name to the painting, the Madonna firmly presses the Infant against her cheek. In the early works of Sandro, in particular, in the picture in question, the influence of his teacher Fra Filippo Lippi is noticeable.
A catalog with articles by Maria Sframeli, Daniela Parenti and Tatyana Kustodieva has been prepared for the exhibition.


Since 1997, I have been painting with oil colors because their rich colors and unlimited textures are a source of boundless delight and challenge. I have been encouraged to become an artist since a very young age, and enjoy other mediums such as charcoal, acrylic and pastel.
My style fluctuates between my passion for classical realism and an other-worldly, dreamlike surrealism. I strive to represent both real and imaginary places, creatures and objects.
Early in my career, I received merits such as the Walpole High School Art Award, The Boston Globe Scholastic Art Awards Silver Key, and the Anna Maria College Statewide High School Art Exhibition First Place Ribbon.
I dedicated myself to painting and graphic design at MassArt and the American Intercontinental University. During this time I earned a place on the Dean’s List as well as received grades of High Honors. I have been exhibiting since 1995, been sought after for commissions since 2003, and have collectors in MA, NH, RI, VA and NC.

Arrangement in Green and Black, Portraits of the Photographer's Mother
This series had serendipitous beginnings. I found a small print of Whistler's painting, arrangement in Grey and Black: Portrait of the Painter's Mother, at a neighborhood garage sale. The same weekend, I found leopard coat and hat, a 1950;s cat painting, and what looked like the exact chair from Whistler's painting. That started me thinking about the idea of portraiture, the strong compositional relationships going on within Whistler's painting, and the evocative nature of unassuming details.
The series incoporates traditional photography techniques, yet becomes richer with the treatment of hand painting. It is my intent to have the viewer see the work in a historical context with the addition of color, and at the same time, experience Whistler's simple, yet brilliant formula for the composition.
My patient 85 year old mother posed in over 20 ensembles, but unfortunately passed away before seeing the finished series. I am grateful for her sense of humor and the time this series allowed us to be together.

(Excerpt from the poem, “Your Life, Your Death” by Sean Sexton)
In conjunction with the Florida Literary Arts Coalition “Other Words” Conference and on the occasion of the recent release of his book of poetry entitled “Blood Writing,” the Crisp-Ellert Art Museum is proud to present a group of works by artist Sean Sexton. The exhibition will include paintings, drawings, etchings and ceramic objects as well as writings that span the past 25 years of the artist’s career. Sexton divides his time between painting, writing and taking care of his family’s 600-acre ranch near Vero Beach, Florida. These works contain images of the land, cattle, tools, fruit, vegetables, skulls and bones among others. Shown together they provide the viewer small glimpses into Sexton’s daily life and give a sense of his many years working in the Floridian landscape.
The artist often takes years to finish a painting in order to capture the effect of a certain time of day, or season. This is apparent in one of his large canvases, entitled “Spring Morning” that depicts a stand of palm trees. To the right we see a watering trough with cattle and in the distance a view of Sexton’s ranch. The artist successfully conveys the feeling of being in the crisp air on a spring morning as the sunlight filters through the trees; a sense of stillness pervades everything. In many of his paintings, Sexton takes his cue from the Hudson River School. But his works depart from the pastoral landscapes of artists such as Thomas Cole and Martin Johnson Heade, whose monumental paintings often comprised of many scenes put together to create one idealized vision. Rather, Sexton’s views are intimate and extremely personal.
Another common subject for Sexton are the objects that show up in his daily life, particularly in his studio where he spends so much of his time. In “Allegory of Work,” the artist has created an elaborate table setting of fruit, raw meat, animal skulls and tools of his trade such as barbed wire and part of a 60-year old fence-stretcher. These are Sexton’s “storehouse of things,” the bits of every day detritus that give us a window into his existence. Dutch still life painting from Northern Europe has clearly influenced the artist here, as he carries on the tradition of vanitas, in which the objects presented serve as both symbols for the pleasures of life as well as the certainty of death. If the appearance of fruits and vegetables speak of the abundance of the land in which he is so closely linked, the skull and bones must also be a symbol for death that is always close at hand, or “present every moment,” as he writes in the poem “Your Life, Your Death.”
These paintings will be displayed alongside prints, journals with his daily musings, and raku-fired ceramic pieces made after objects that have accumulated in the artist’s freezer over the years. Each work serves as inspiration for Sexton’s writing practice, and has a corresponding poem. Collectively, these works begin to tell us a story of the fullness of Sexton’s life as an artist, a writer and a rancher. His is a life that is full of hard work and labor, death and decay, but a life that also includes many quiet moments of beauty.
Sean Sexton lives and works in Vero Beach, Florida. He has been included in exhibitions at the Gulf Coast Museum of Art in Largo, Florida and Creadle School of Art in Winter Park, Florida, among others. His works can be found in the individual and museum collections throughout Florida, as well as at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois.


My painting is a venture inside and outside of myself seeking freshness and change. I thrive on challenge, action and awakening in my painting. I am intensely curious, exploring the micro and macro levels of the natural ecology. When the image begins to “break up” or erupt, my excitement rises. I transfer this excitement and freedom to the viewer through movement, color and texture of paint over surfaces. Here in the process of painting I allow myself to break all the rules. Trusting my intuition I can let go of the “work of art”. The painting is just a place to free myself – to surrender to process. The medium of paint speaks stronger than words. Clarity is distilled out of movement and change. The paintings come as gifts.
The elements of earth, water, fire, air and space give form to all life and play a prominent role in my inspiration. By exploring organic natural forms and the visceral textures of paint with spontaneity and freedom, I play at mark-making and application while trying to stay ahead of my grasping mind. Through close observation, my art explores imagery living in the natural world – insects, birds, reptiles, mammals, plants, trees, flowers and minerals in myriad ways. I am overcome by the abundance and beauty of nature. If I can allow my paintings to run free then I can find delight and joy.
My aim is a constant search for subtle and not so subtle energies in our visual world as well as the tension between things and expression. Painting is a way for me to move through life having a relationship with the Beloved. The paintings are the record I leave behind of my journey into spirit. They are in gratitude for my life.


In this tutorial we will see how to create and paint Necron bases in a simple way, which we can use for our Necron miniatures or alien planets.
In the previous tutorial I showed you how we could create these lava bases quickly. In this second tutorial we will see how to paint them easily
As I told you in the previous tutorial, these bases are ideal for use, for example, as bases for Salamanders (warhammer 40k space marine chapter).
That said… Let’s start with the tutorial on how to paint lava or volcanic bases!
In this simple tutorial, we will see how to quickly create lava bases for our miniatures and wargames. In my case, I will use these lava bases for the Salamanders Space Marines chapter, from the Warhammer 40k game.
In a previous article, I showed you how to create custom bases for your Warhammer 40,000 Tau army,where we used a GreenStuffWorld textured rolling pins to create them. In this second part, we will see how to paint step by step these great bases.
I’ll show you 2 ways to paint these bases. Firstly a very fast technique and then another slightly more elaborate way,so that you can see different possibilities.
Would you like to give a special touch to your Tau army? In that case you will like this tutorial, we will see how to create custom bases for the Tau army of the Warhammer 40,000 wargame.


Resting on a ledge against a plain white wall in an otherwise empty room, it looks from a distance like something you might have picked up at Art-A-Whirl, brought home, and haven’t yet decided what to do with.
Except it’s a Raphael. The very small (about 9” x 11”), very famous, very beautiful and priceless “The Madonna of the Pinks,” more than 500 years old.
On display in the Cargill Gallery at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts through August 9 and on loan from London’s National Gallery for part of the MIA’s 100th birthday year, the painting was revealed this morning to board members, staff and donors. It’s the second of three surprise exhibitions in the museum’s “Masterpiece in Focus” series. The first was Vermeer’s “Woman Reading a Letter,” now back home at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
You’ll see “The Madonna of the Pinks” better here than you ever would in London. You’ll get closer here than there — near enough to see the soft blushes on the cheeks of the Madonna and the Christ Child, his baby-soft hair, the impossibly thin, gleaming edges of the haloes above their heads, and the translucent wisp of her veil.
Part of the plan for “Masterpiece in Focus” is to give Minnesotans quiet time with great works of art. “Since we’re a free museum,” MIA director Kaywin Feldman said, “people can actually just run in and spend ten minutes with a masterpiece all by themselves. It’s really a special experience.” There are no Raphaels in the MIA’s collections.
Named for the sprigs of pink carnations the mother is offering her child, who is seated on a pillow on her lap, “The Madonna of the Pinks” dates from 1506-7. Raphael was just 23 when he painted it, probably as a commission for a nun from a prominent family in Perugia. Its size tells us it was meant as a private devotional painting, a portable aid to prayer.
The painting has a beguiling backstory that Rachel McGarry, the MIA’s associate curator for prints and drawings, shared at the reveal. You can read it on a label on the wall when you visit. (Abbreviated version: Super-famous painting is bought by English duke. German scholar says “It’s a copy!” Disappointed Duke banishes painting to a hall in his castle. British scholar says “It’s not a copy!” Duke sells painting to the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Alarmed British government bans its export. Huge public appeal raises enough cash for National Gallery to buy it.)
The Getty is welcome to visit it while it’s here at our MIA.
With the arrival of “The Madonna of the Pinks,” the “Masterpiece in Focus” series has brought us two peaceful, intimate domestic scenes. What about the third surprise, due in September? “It won’t be that,” said Patrick Noon, the MIA’s painting curator and chair. An actual hint! Stay tuned.


This gallery is for BVAA member Don Iacovelli.
I am a retired public school music teacher who treasures the arts in all its formats. I am also a composer and performer.
When I retired from teaching I turned my creative energy to painting. My style is folk art and was influenced by the works of Grandma Moses and her great-grandson Will Moses, who has become my mentor.
The folk art style brings to mind a kinder, gentler time of community, family, activities, and love. My paintings try to incorporate children and adults at play, cozy homes and neighborhoods.
I spend most of my time painting and creating new scenes that depict activity of past times. A child mischievously tossing a snowball, people skating and sliding, just having fun. Summer picnics, kids fishing, barn dances, and many other wonderful joyful times. Clustered homes with windows aglow with warmth and a sense that in their world everything is all right.
My paintings hang in many homes; some have been customized with that home in the scene. My paintings are at the Milford Public Library, Sutton Town Hall, Countryside Nursing and Rehab Center, Draper Place, and more …

Pittsboro artist Onicas Gaddis is known for his deeply expressive paintings. After moving to North Carolina in 2016 from Florida, Onicas wanted to find a community that would meld well with his artistic endeavors. It was the people of Chatham County who attracted him to this area. “Wherever I go, I’m looking for the artists,” Onicas says, “and Chatham County has a lot of beautiful people.”
Growing up, Onicas moved from foster home to foster home, and credits his early life with shaping his work. “My art is the reason I’m still alive,” he says. “I could have been doing so many other things, getting in trouble, but instead I was drawing.” Onicas grew up in Alabama and started his career as an artist with pencils and charcoal as his two primary mediums.
It wasn’t until he spent time at the Alabama Art Colony under the tutelage of artist Sarah Carlisle Towery that he began his journey as a painter. “She taught me how to paint and not think of a finished painting, and that the painting will tell you what it wants to be,” Onicas says. That idea imprinted deeply on Onicas’ own work, which he characterizes as “spiritual expressionism.” “I feel like I’m more of a vessel,” Onicas says, elaborating further on the label. “When I paint, I’m really not in control of the finished piece. It’s more like, ‘heart and soul.’”
He may not feel fully in control when immersed in painting, but “whatever I’m experiencing in life goes on the canvas,” he says. “Good, bad, ugly, sad, it all goes on the canvas.”
Chathamites can find Onicas work online at onicasart.com and displayed throughout our area, including past exhibitions at Blue Dot Coffee and The Modern Life Deli & Drinks, and at his studio on West Street. He’s currently looking to display his work again in early August.


Revitalise Your Home with a Great Painting and Decorating Team
One of the true joys of owning your own home is having the ability to make it into your own personal masterpiece. When you rent a home, apartment, or condo, you’re never really accorded the same chance. After all, when you rent, you are subject to the laws and whims of your landlord. You don’t own anything. By contrast, when you own your own home, you’re able to take ownership of it and therefore customise every last inch of it, allowing you to really let your creative side shine!
And what better way to show off that creative side than with a fresh coat of paint? Whether you’re looking for a quick touch-up, a complete redecoration job, or something in between, you’re going to want to work with the best painters and decorators in Oxfordshire.
Why Painting Is Worth It
It’s worth taking the time to ask – why is the whole rigmarole of adding paint to your home worth it, anyway? There are actually several reasons for this, including the following:
- Painting can actually help protect the bare wood surface of your home from the elements
- It offers you the creative outlet to do something new and exciting with your home
- It gives you the possibility of being able to add to your home’s overall appeal and thus value for potential future buyers
With all those reasons and more, the impetus to paint and redecorate your home becomes clear. Once you’ve decided to do so, you’ll want to work with the painting experts in Oxfordshire. They ensure that only paints of the highest quality are used, and that said paint is applied cleanly and evenly, giving you a first-class finish every time.

Sherry Cobb & The Painted Horse Studio
She was raised on a ranch, still lives on one, and had a leg up and over the saddle by the time she was four, as soon as she was big enough to hold on to the saddle horn. For Sherry Cobb, life has been a life-long love affair with horses. She started painting and drawing them not long after her first ride. “My mom used to give me a pencil and paper to keep me busy,” she says. “Some of those paintings I did, back when I was seven or so, still exist.”
Sherry is still at it, only now “I paint from my own studio and run cattle and horses on my own ranch,” she explains. Her dad lives across the creek, and she and her dad run 198 pairs (a cow land calf is a pair) on the Uncompahgre Plateau and BLM land near Montrose and Delta. Collectively, these are Sherry’s biggest delights – horses, ranching and painting. “My favorite subjects graze just beyond my kitchen window!”
When Sherry isn’t branding calves or checking the fences, she paints. If she isn’t painting or ranching she might be showing her artwork at a variety of western events. Sherry exhibited this past year in Scottsdale, Las Vegas (the Cowboy Christmas), Cheyenne and other places around the West. She enjoys meeting the people, and being in the public gives her a chance to meet her buyers, learn a little about them, and to educate the public about art and ranching.
Authenticity is important to Sherry, as is mastering the light. Working from her own sketches and photos, she develops contrast, patterns and composition. “The Queen and Her Court,” a signature piece, is an outstanding example of Sherry’s mastery over light and shadow. Her paintings tell a story that keep the viewer attached. And her skill in telling that story attests to her love of riding, ranching and horses.
Sherry studied art at Prescott, Ariz., and for a time lived in Cody, Wyo. There Sherry exhibited her paintings in the Bighorn Gallery and painted wildlife and western art. She returned to Delta in 1995. Sherry continued exhibiting in galleries but felt there was too much control over her subject matter, and her time. “In Cody I was painting from 12-14 hours a day. I felt like I was chained to the easel,” she says. When her mother died in 1997, Sherry quit painting for two years. It wasn’t until a friend asked her to do a portrait of his four colts, that she got excited about painting again. “See Spots Run” is a running view of the horses that shows each personality in exquisite detail. Sherry credits this painting as bringing her back to art. Now she is determined to paint horses. She will not paint anything that she is not passionate about, and she is passionate about horses.
“I can’t imagine life without riding,” Sherry says, explaining that she became involved with the Dreamcatcher Therapeutic Riding Center when a near accident driving over Kenosha Pass made her realize how important riding is to her, and as a way of helping others. She donates her artwork for fund raising, and supports the center in its pursuits. Her love of horses is the focus of her art and her heart.
Sherry Cobb’s paintings and prints are available at the Apple Shed in Cedaredge, Finishing Touch and Stockyards Restaurant in Delta, South Townsend Galleries, Coffee Trader and Painted Canyon in Montrose, the Rockaday Home Accents in Fruita, Wickenburg Gallery in Wickenburg, Ariz., and at her studio, The Painted Horse Studio and Frameshop, which is located eight miles southwest of Delta. She may be reached at 970-874-7105.

Kelly Kotary is in the midst of a painting career that almost wasn’t. Since her childhood in Ohio, she knew that she was an artist. She dreamed of finding success like her heroes John Singer Sargent and Richard Schmid. When she received her BFA from Wittenberg University in 1998 and relocated to beautiful Colorado, she thought she was on her way. A year later, however, she put her painting aside and turned her focus to finding ‘more practical’ work.
In 2008, she impulsively took a part-time job at a gallery. She was invited to sit in at a workshop with James Biggers and Cathy Goodale, who had studied with Schmid. From there she was lucky enough to meet several other prominent local painters who were combining abstraction with landscape paintings in ways that just electrified her. It was a new way of thinking about painting – representational work based on abstract structures! — and she knew it was the essential connection that her earlier work had been missing. The final piece of the puzzle was the discovery of plein air painting. She feels blessed and grateful every day for the chance to share her work with the world.
Kelly is a Loveland, Colorado based painter whose award-winning oil paintings can be found in public and private collections all over the country.read Kelly Kotary’s Artist Statement

"Finding the light"
My Happy Place
Oil on canvas
100cm x 100cm
The beauty of the rockpools down by Brighton Marina was my sanctuary during lockdown earlier this year. You can explore, clamber out to your own rock of solitude and stare at the endlessly changing ocean. Bliss.
The depth in the oil painting is due to the many layers of oil and texture as it does love. It also allows the painting to feel as if it moves and changes in the light as does the landscape in reality. It draws you in and offers sanctuary.

Artistic Process: Xerox Transfers
Xerox Transfers are definitely one of my favorite things to incorporate in commissioned paintings. It's a cool way to add old photos into a painting and give them a nostalgic sort of feeling. All you need is a photo, a xerox machine, some Liquitex Matte Medium OR Modge Podge, a brush and a cup of water.
Pictured [to the left] is a photo from a painting I did for a couple I know a couple years go who had just gotten married. They provided me with ADORABLE photos from their childhood, in which I transfered onto the background of the painting. I then painted a superimposed current picture of the couple on top of the transfers. It's like their very own collage/photo album that sits on the wall in their new home. (It's also a great gift!) The original painting is below, along with a couple other examples.
Above (Finished Painting) Mr. & Mrs. Jon Michael and Angela Chandler, Oil, Acrylic, Gold Leaf Powder and Xerox Transfer on Hardboard. Details: Wedding Vows ghost written in the background.
To the Left: Mr. & Mrs. Oscar Jordan. My very own granparent's 65th Anniversary. Oil, Acrylic, and Xerox Transfer on Hardboard.
Details: Transfers at the top: Top Left Doris in her 20's, Top Right Oscar in his 20's during World War II. Middle: their 25th Wedding Anniversary. The bottom portion are painted portraits of their youth.

(Continued from Part 1 on prepping your helmet and removing the helmet visor area)
Painting Your Helmet
Mandalorian helmets are painted in various stages. Usually, they include a primer coat, metallic base coat, and it’s common to have a 3 color paint palette. For a chrome-like metallic helmet, do a primer coat, a glossy black base coat, and Alclad airbrush paint. A graphite rub over gloss paint can also be used for a metallic-looking helmet. Stenciling can also be added on if desired, and the paint job is finished off with weathering. A top coat sealer is optional. Beware that top clear coats usually dull metallic finishes. Most people don’t do a final clear coat. But some people do choose to use an automotive 2-part clear coat like Spray Max 2K clearcoat. Chrome-like finishes are challenging to do so you may want to consider just buying a Hasbro Mandalorian helmet instead.
Before you start painting wipe off any dust on your helmet, tack cloths are handy for this. Be careful handling your helmet since its structural integrity is reduced without the visor, and it’s easy for it to roll off a table. Try to support your helmet on a stand. A paper towel holder or wooden stand is handy.
Decide if you want to paint the interior of the helmet. If the helmet will be worn, darkening the interior helps reduce the potential of your face being visible through the t-visor face shield. If it’s just for display on a shelf, you can skip painting the interior.
If you’re not sure what color combinations you want on your helmet, this MandoCreator tool is handy for trying out different color schemes. It’s a good idea to have a color plan before you start painting.
If you’re not sure what color section to paint first, consider working from light to dark sections. It’s easier for dark colors to cover light than for light colors to cover dark. And if you’re using masking fluid/toothpaste masking, add it after the silver base coat.
Tape off any areas you don’t want paint entering, like the open visor area or the inside bottom edge if it’s already painted black. Scrap paper, plastic bags, kitchen cling wrap, and painters masking tape help protect areas where you don’t want overspray. Paint the helmet earpieces, rangefinder, or other parts separately. When they are dry, attach them to the painted helmet before weathering. For more on weathering your Mandalorian see here.
Wet sanding with 400 – 800 fine-grit sandpaper after paint coats helps to remove overspray and get a smoother finish. When wet sanding your helmet, feel the surface with your fingers for any roughness. Use progressively finer grit if you’d like to get a glass-like surface.
The most important painting tip is probably to do multiple light thin layers to avoid drips. But remember if you do get paint drips, it’s not a big deal, just sand the spot and re-paint it. Also, read your spray can instructions for recoat times and avoid painting in humid weather. For more painting tips read this post on painting Mandalorian armor.
To paint the curved cheek area, you have a few options. You can “tip-toe” your tape, use vinyl flexing tape (or electrical tape), curved tape, or you can make a cheek template. Place wide painter’s tape on the cheek, trace the cheek outline, remove the tape and cut the curve with a razor. Apply your template, cover the other areas, and you’re ready to spray paint. I’ve tried a few options and found that electrical tape cut into slim pieces worked well.
After each paint coat, let the helmet dry/cure for at least 24hrs. This will help prevent the painters’ tape from lifting or peeling off the previous paint layer. Apply tape after the paint has fully dried, but remove the tape while the paint is still wet or tacky. You may want to use Frog Tape for delicate surfaces. Or you can clear coat after painting if you’re really worried about the tape lifting off paint. Personally, I think some paint peeling adds to a natural weathering effect.
Once the helmet is fully dry or cured, you can add stencils if you like. You can easily make your own helmet stencils by tracing an image straight from your computer onto wide painter’s tape. Then carefully cut out your stencil and apply it to your helmet. There is no need to buy expensive stencil templates or helmet decals unless it’s a very detailed design.
Once done painting I suggest you move the helmet to a spot to dry where there is less chance of dust/dirt settling into your fresh paint job. This is why I prefer using spray paints that dry faster, like automotive spray paint Duplicolor. When the helmet is dry attach the earpieces, range finder or antenna, and back key slot vent before the final weathering.
To finish off your helmet, consider adding weathering. A weathered helmet looks “in-universe”, and more authentic. A final paint wash or dry-brush of burnt umber can transform a good-looking helmet into a realistic-looking, great helmet. A dirty graphite rub on top of rub n buff also looks great. Try to keep the weathering consistent with the weathering you use on your body armor. And if you feel your weathering was too much, you can use rubbing alcohol to gently clean it up a bit. You can read about other weathering techniques and tips here.

Last summer, a photo of a painting was spotted on the set of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Fans quickly noted that it looked like Watchmen star Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Could he be re-teaming with director Zack Snyder?
Last night Morgan was guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live and he was asked if it was indeed a painting of him on the set of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Based on his not so sly response, it certainly seems like it! Check out the interview below.
Fans have speculated that the painting is of Thomas Wayne, but Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s role is still unconfirmed at this time.


The painting is called "Salvator Mundi," Latin for "Savior of the World." It is one of fewer than 20 works by the Renaissance painter known to exist. It sold at an auction on Wednesday.
Before Wednesday, the highest-known sale price for any artwork had been $300 million for Willem de Kooning's painting "Interchange." Businessman Kenneth C. Griffin bought it in a private sale in 2015.
在周三之前，售价最贵的艺术作品是威廉·德库宁（Willem de Kooning）的画作《交换》，售价达到了3亿美元。商人肯尼思·C·格里芬（Kenneth C. Griffin）于2015年在一场私人交易中将它收入囊中。
A Pablo Picasso's painting "Les femmes D'Alger" held the previous record for artwork sold at auction. It was sold in 2015 for over $179 million.
The sale of the da Vinci painting took place at Christie's auction house in New York City. Bidding for the piece opened at $75 million. The bidding lasted 19 minutes.
People inside Christie's cheered as the hammer came down to mark the end of bidding. The record sale price includes money that the unnamed winner must pay to the auction house.
Jussi Pylkkänen was the auctioneer and is Global president of Christie's. He told the Reuters news agency, "It was a moment when all the stars were aligned, and I think Leonardo would be very pleased."
The 66-centimeter-tall painting dates to around 1500. It shows Jesus dressed in Renaissance-style clothing. His right hand is raised in blessing and his left hand holds a crystal ball.
The painting was in a private collection of King Charles I of England. It disappeared from view until 1900, when a British collector bought it. At that time, it was thought to have been painted by a student of Leonardo rather than the master himself.
In 2005, a group of art dealers paid less than $10,000 for the artwork. It was badly damaged and partly painted over. They restored the work and proved that the painting was done by Leonardo da Vinci himself.
Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev bought the restored painting in 2013 for $127.5 million.
Christie's said most experts agree the painting is a work of Leonardo da Vinci. But critics say the restoration of the piece affects the work's authorship.

Behind every painting is an artist and behind every artist is a story that’s waiting to be told. Rorie Tan-Aradanas was first exposed to art during her high school days. Even if she was already drawing during those times, she said that she still didn’t have the interest and enthusiasm to pursue the art field. Her affair with painting bloomed when her father passed away. Accordingly, it became a form of therapy for her. She was able to express her grief through painting.
When she finally decided to break away from her feelings of grief and bitterness, she started painting flowers. She said that doing this brought her happiness. One of her mentors was Saudi Ahmad, who taught her techniques in watercolor and oil. Aradanas did not depend on others to improve. “I tried my best by helping my own self.” She was her own critic, finding the flaws in her paintings and striving to improve them.
The subjects of her paintings are usually her thoughts and emotions. It’s through painting that she finds relief and tranquility. If she doesn’t want to voice out her feelings, she puts them all in painting. According to Aradanas, “You learn to forgive, to love again.” Speaking of love, she said that being an artist means always being in love and always admiring things. She said that without these feelings, you can’t paint. Through painting, she also feels closer to God because she learns to appreciate the beauty of his handicraft.
When asked what inspires her to continue painting, she explained by making a glass of water as an example. “I can do more than this.” she said. She said that if she placed it on canvas, she could make it look even better with a stroke of her brush.
When you are into painting, according to Aradanas, “You keep on growing—growing with your thoughts, growing with your concept, your techniques.”
Expression from the Heart will be her third solo exhibit. It will officially open on June 8 at The Gallery of the Peninsula and the Archipelago in the Ateneo de Zamboanga University La Purisima Campus. The exhibition will be open until July 30.

I spent about 10 minutes painting this horse for the 54mm Cuirassiers. I paint all my horses like this; regardless of scale. I usually go to Wal-Mart and pick up an "eggcrate" mattrerss pad. I still have pieces of the last one in my horse painting box I bought several years ago. Here's the process. It has worked consistently since 1980. Thanks to Ed Johnson (gamer from the Royal Guardsman in Dallas), Ken Ray (still gaming in the DFW area) and Ruben Aguilar (he is no longer with us...) for taking the time to teach me the technique. You may not like this and may like to use multiple "washes". To each his/her own. This is what works for me and I'ma stickin' to it.
I use Windsor and Newton Water Soluble Oils for all my horses. In this case, I used Ivory Black as "Cuirassiers were big men on big black horses". I use Payne's Grey for my trumpeters and then add horse details straight from my old copy of the Imrie-Rimsey "Model Soldier Book".
I glop the paint on the miniature with a large flat or round brush and let it set on the miniature about 5 minutes. If I'm in a hurry or just want to get stuff done; I'll set the miniatures out in the spa room to enjoy the Tejas summer heat. Tends to cut the set time in half.
After letting the paint set for a few, I "pull the paint" off the figure with the foam. One doesn't have to crunch down on the figure when pulling the paint; just pull it gently. You'll use several pieces of foam. The art form here is to get a finished look that contain glops, streaks and or looks stupid (you'll have to figure out of what I speak).
You can see the finished horse in basic Black. I like to let the paint set overnight just to make sure I can paint over it with acrylics. I'll detail the horse by painting its face, eyes, horse furniture, mane and tail and hooves. After finishing the horses, I'll paint the riders.
Here's a little more of a close up. Bottom line, I usually paint 20-30 horses in a setting or a unit in 54mm. In All the King's Men, that is 8 figures per unit. They look good en masse and are quite easy to paint and time-efficient to boot! Let me know what you think. I never use washes, or paint the horse colors "up" like a polka-dotted dark to light effect (Dallimore's method). That looks like crap in a larger figure and is not time-efficient. It took longer to develop this post than it did to paint the figure!

Why Hire a Residential Painter?
Residential painting contractor is someone who does painting on the interior and exterior walls, porches and trim of a house. With a professional painting contractor, they have the skills and knowledge on the right type of paint to use for the job they’re working on and even additional details to be used on the project like texturing or borders.
Then again, some uses equipment which make it possible for them to reach high places or hard to reach places like window shutters, second stories and so forth. Their main job is to offer paint applications in different homes. They may be working for a builder painting the house being built.
And mainly because of the fact that majority of the homes are using paint free vinyl siding, most homeowners decide not to have it painted. Truth is, there are homeowners who prefer to achieve authentic wood and may still have exterior painter to get the job done. Some residential painting contractors have their own business and hiring subcontractors if they are either rushing a job or so busy. In some cases, they might do everything on their own so they can generate bigger profits.
There are benefits as well to hiring a residential painting contractor than homeowners doing all the paint job. Not only the fact that there are less painting for homeowners, the contractor uses special tools and equipment that could help in finishing the job fast, the paint job will look more professionally done and the contractor might have employees to assist with the work. Some example of special equipment and tools they use include specialized ladders or lifts, extensions to attach to paint rollers and help them reach higher areas, the knowledge to do decorative details and many more.
Oftentimes, residential painting contractors are skilled in doing different tasks in addition to painting. They’re well versed of preparing the walls for painting like by sanding and priming it, filling in cracks and holes so when it is painted, it does look like nothing was wrong in it.
While in the process of enlisting a residential painting contractor, you must make sure that they have the experience and skills in getting the job done. You can also find local contractors to hire by just asking for references of your family and friends, checking the local phone directory or even looking online. When seeing one, be sure that they are providing you with their license number because there are areas that are requiring painters to take exam similar to the ones that are taken by a general contractor.

Join us at our DUNDEE tasting room where each month we will be featuring a local artist on our new art wall! View and buy art from a local artist while enjoying wine, cocktails, and slushies. September's artist is Jake Jackson. You can meet him and discuss his art at our Meet & Greet on September 18th.
Jake is a self-taught artist from Monroe, Michigan. He specializes in surrealistic portraits invoking a sense of wonder.
Sample of his work:


During Paris Gallery Weekend 2023, the Galerie Le Minotaure will present a retrospective of Vladimir Baranoff-Rossiné, avant-garde musician, painter and sculptor, born in 1888 in Ukraine, in Kherson, in a Jewish family and died in Auschwitz in January 1944. This exhibition – bringing together works from the family as well as from important European and American collections – will retrace all periods of the artist’s life.
Exhibition from May 13 to July 29, 2023.
Galerie Le Minotaure was created in 2002 by Benoit Sapiro, a member of the Compagnie Nationale des Experts and of the Comité Professionnel des Galeries d’Art, and vice-president of the Photo Saint Germain festival. Our first gallery is located on the former site of the famous Surrealist bookshop of the same name. In February 2023 we opened a second space 23 rue de Seine. Like its director, the gallery specialises in the artists of the School of Paris and in the avant-gardes of Central and Eastern Europe, from the 1910s to the 1960s. Its considerable collections have made it a regular collaborator with major museums such as the Russian state museums, including the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts.
In an art market increasingly obsessed with events and sensationalism, the gallery works to ensure that the work it presents are impeccable
• in terms of art historical significance.
• for their quality, resulting from a keen eye brought to bear on the constant flux of propositions from both private sources and auction houses.
• by their optimal price-quality ratio, with quality and provenance a constant priority.

How to make your House’s Exterior More Fantastic with Residential Painting, Exterior Painting and Staining
Is the painting on your house’s exterior getting too unpleasant to look at? Or Is the paint starting to peel off and fade? If that is indeed the case, it will also be unpleasant for the passersby to see and you should definitely consider residential painting, in particular, exterior painting to make your house look brand new. The exterior of your house is the first thing that people would see, after all, and if you are conducting a business inside of your house, it will also attract more clients since it is all pleasant and nice.
But before you start with the makeover of your house’s exterior, check first if you have the budget to buy the paint, the painting materials and if you are planning to hire a residential painting company, make sure that you also have the right budget to pay them. Hiring a professional is actually one of the choices most especially if you have no time to do the painting yourself because of your busy schedule. But either way, you still have to prepare the money since if you get short, your project will definitely be a failure and you will be more inconvenienced.
You can start right away with the makeover of your house’s exterior once you have canvassed the paint and all tool that will be needed and of course, the money necessary to buy them. The color of the paint must complement the rest of your house, so make sure that you do no use any color that will make your house look like a joke. The colors should always match, but it doesn’t mean that you have to change the original color of the walls; in fact, you can use the same paint color, but for a change, you might consider using a different one and the same goes with the staining of your siding. If these are all done well, you can expect a good result, that is, a beautiful and fantastic exterior of your house.
Finding Ways To Keep Up With Experts
But then again, if you can’t do the painting, yourself, for various reasons, don’t hesitate to hire a professional. Don’t forget though that there are residential painting companies and staining companies that don’t very much cater to the needs of their clients, so make sure you choose the one that will provide you with the best service. In choosing for a good residential painting company or staining company for that matter, make sure that when you look at their website, all the information necessary for the clients to know is included in there. Because a client’s testimony will give you the idea what kind of services this particular company offers, make sure to also read those reviews and comments online or you can ask them in person.5 Uses For Experts

This series of paintings is a heartfelt poem to the darkness, the chaos, and the unknown. Each of these Liminal Beings defines an acknowledgement and acceptance of the unfamiliar and the different, the deep-down, rawness of humanity that all of us share but so many stifle or cast aside. If these paintings have stirred a curiosity or a pause to wonder for a moment, then they have evoked a response that could lead to the possibility of a broader acceptance, a connection, and becoming a bit closer to what humanity truly is.
Like with humans, there is a story in these beings that shifts and evolves as the viewer spends time experiencing them. Liminal Beings are the threshold, a bridge to an acceptance of the unknown and a chance at understanding one another.
There are 24 paintings total. These are just a few of them, but you can view them all at Copro Gallery in their web preview in Past Exhibitions.
If you'd like to read more about the paintings, I've posted a few articles on Muddy Colors about them here:

I'm very grateful for the opportunity to show these paintings, and so motivated by the experience to keep exploring. Stay tuned for more! And thanks for reading :) For more frequent posts with my art, WIPs, upcoming shows and workshops, visit my Instagram acccount @vanessalemen
