Leonid Afremov is one of the most distinguished contemporary artists known for his unusual painting manner and a powerful emotional impact his artworks have on a human soul. A man of great talent and imagination, he tries to find inspiration in simple things that can sometimes hold more meaning than the loudest words. Looking for new impressions and fresh ideas, Leonid has travelled to numerous countries taking in everything he saw to tell it in the language of color on one of his bright, eye-striking canvasses. Creative, cheerful and dreamy like himself, they convey a strong positive message filling your heart with peace, harmony and delight.
We opened this online art gallery to give art lovers all over the world a chance to enjoy and buy Afremov paintings in an easy and convenient way. But before you proceed to the first page, let us tell you a little more about this wonderful artist and his peculiar style!
What makes Leonid Afremov paintings so special?
After years of creative experiments, Afremov has developed his own painting manner that makes his pictures immediately recognizable and uniquely appealing. How is it different from what we usually call art?
To add volume to his works, the artist uses a very peculiar Impasto technique. By laying oil paint in thick overlapping strokes, he creates a layered texture that gives his paintings a distinct three-dimensional sense.
Instead of brushes, Afremovwields a rather unusual instrument called palette knife to achieve spectacular visual effects. Pressing the blade down at different angles allows him to apply strokes of different size and shape, from large chunky splashes to the finest lines drawn with the very tip of the knife.
Afremov paintings strike the eye with a rich color palette. They resemble motley patchworks where all shades of the spectrum are combined into one cheerful mixture, so vivid the eye can barely hold it. That’s why people find his canvas pictures so fascinating and positive.
In Afremov’s manner, color obviously prevails over shape. Here you won’t find photographic details or precisely reproduced outlines. His artis the world of imagination where how you paint is much more important than what you paint. Each artwork in this gallery is a reflection of Afremov’s soul that captures meaningful moments of life in all their inexplicable charm and striking profundity.
What genres and motifsare represented onAfremov paintings?
Like every artist, Leonid has his own creative preferences. While striving for versatility and trying his skillful hand in different genres, he predominantly paints:
Vibrant cityscapes depicting rain-soaked streets, quiet autumn parks and lover couples strolling down lantern-lit alleys.
Captivating and thought-provokinglandscapes.
Imaginative flower sets and still lifes.
Impressionist-style celebrity portraits.
During his long and prolific career, Afremov has created hundreds of remarkable art samples many of which already found their buyers in the face of private collectors and public establishments. On the pages of his vast art gallery, you’ll find numerous paintings available for sale, from original canvasses to 100% hand-painted recreations of earlier works. While constantly producing new material, Leonid also keeps revising and tweaking his old sketches in line with his maturing vision. Even in dull copy-making routine, we see the work of his ever-searching soul.
Fill your home with color and joy!

I received my painting this week and it is now the focal point of the living room. The colors are vibrant and the workmanship is perfect. I will definitely be buying more!
Chester Feb 21, 2015
I just received my painting in the mail and it is absolutely amazing. It looks even better than it does on the website. I love all the vivid colors and being able to see the intricate brush strokes in person really gives the painting a sense of movement and passion. Can't wait to get it framed and put up on my wall. Keep up the great work! I hope to buy another piece soon.
Steven Franchino Feb 27, 2014
I received Rain's Rustle today (early) and couldn't wait to post. It is perfection in expressing a mood with a visual appeal that crosses time and space. I happened upon and instantly fell in love with this image and searched to find that to my sheer delight I could order a painted copy by Mr. Afremov. I am beyond happy with my painting and will be ordering a companion painting very soon. Thank you sir.
Author Kate Perkins Apr 23, 2015
Only after ordering City By The Lake did I watch a video of you painting a recreation and read some reviews. One review in particular had me worried. I didn't expect the painting to be as detailed as the original but I hoped I hadn't made a mistake placing the order. I have just received it. I am thrilled to say it has MASSIVELY exceeded my expectations. It is almost as detailed as the original and without a side by side comparison could be mistaken for it. It is truly stunning. Thank you so much.
Ian Smith Jan 16, 2014
Received my painting today. So very beautiful. The lovely combination of colors are so pleasing to the eye. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. This will be an anniversary gift for my husband. I would not hesitate to order again. Thank you. Patricia Burns

Beksiński’s masterpiece breaks ‘2 million’ auction record – The First News
A painting by Zdzisław Beksiński sold for a record figure of almost PLN 2 million.
Entitled ‘Postać’ (Figure), the oil on cardboard 89x89cm with the artist’s signature on the back has been sold for PLN 1.6 million to ‘Fantastic Art. Auction of surrealism and magical realism held at Desa Unicum in Warsaw.
Once the buyer’s premium was added by the auction house, the value rose to PLN 1.92 million, which is a final sale price more than double the value of the previous record for a painting of Beksiński up for auction.
Writing on its website, the auction house said: “The growing popularity of the painter and the whole trend in fantasy art over the past decade has increased the value of painting nearly 27 times.”
Created in 1978, the painting was auctioned by private collectors having previously been exhibited at the “Beksiński in Warsaw” exhibition held at the KONESER Praga Center in Warsaw.
Beksiński, born in the southeast of the town of Sanok in 1929, was known for his specialization in dystopian surrealism and is considered to have two distinct periods of his artistic work.
The first took place from the mid-1960s to the late 1970s, which the artist himself called his “fantastic” period.
His later work focused on a central image with simplified backgrounds.
At the end of the 1990s, he discovered digital photography and photo manipulation, which interested him until his death.
His final years were filled with personal tragedy which he expressed in his art.
In 1998 his wife died of cancer and a year later his son Tomasz, a music journalist, committed suicide.
At the age of 75, Beksiński was stabbed to death by the teenage son of his housekeeper, to whom he had refused to lend money.
Ten years after his death in 2005, 40 short stories he had worked on but remained unfinished were published.
Beksiński’s influence on modern culture has moved beyond the worlds of art and literature with a number of metal groups using his paintings as cover art, as well as several recent video games heavily influenced by his style and his paintings.

Curator-Led Tour: "Vermeer and The Masters of Genre Painting: Inspiration and Rivalry"
At the height of the Dutch republic’s economic and artistic power (1650-1675) Johannes Vermeer worked within a network of Dutch painters who inspired, rivaled, and aimed to surpass one another. They shared a focus on meticulously painted “high life” scenes that depicted the daily lives of men and women of the elite class. Similarities in subject matter, style, composition, and technique may be seen among their greatest works. Study paintings by Vermeer and related artists and discover what they most admired in each others’ pictures.


Hockney-inspired landscapes at Prep
Year 5 girls are working together to create landscapes inspired by one of the most influential British living artists.
In Art lessons, the girls learned about how David Hockney creates textures using a range of art equipment.
The pupils cut up landscapes they had found online and worked in groups of two and three to divide them. Next, they drew their section of the landscape and used oil pastels to follow the style of David Hockney. Once completed they put their work together to make one large landscape. What fantastic results!

Painting as meditation
August 1, 2014
A new exhibition at the Ujazdowski Castle Center for Contemporary Art in Warsaw looks at the history of geometric abstraction and avant-garde 20th-century painting through the eyes of painter, draftsman and photographer Tycjan Knut.
Entitled Old School, the exhibition comprises pictures in which Knut makes references to Polish avant-garde painting of the 1960s and 1970s, when a major role was played by abstraction and a quest for transcendence
Knut’s work is often subtle and abstract, echoing the geometric style, but it also shows that the artist wants to move beyond this tradition and the limitations of the style. Knut is driven by intuition and likes to set his imagination free, so that his paintings have a lot in common with meditation.
The exhibition runs until Aug. 24.


Today I want to introduce a blogger and an artist. Alexandra Matos is a young portuguese artist and painter. She is also the author of the beautiful blog Alexandra Matos Design, a blog that focuses on interiors and on wall art mainly. I am really happy to introduce her works to my readers and give you an idea of her creativity. I simply love her works, they are contemporary, colorful, original and safe, because Alexandra Matos realizes her art using acrilyc paint. Those who follow my blog know that I simply have a crush on that kind of paint because it is not toxic and above all because it is very easy to apply on canvas and on whatever base you chose for your wall wart. Have a look at some of her creations. I love the striped exagon, it would look great in a contemporary living. I just hope Alexandra enriches her blog by showing some of her art hanged in real interiors and demonstrate how a piece of geometrical art can adds value and character to a room. Alexandra, I can’t wait to have a look at your pictures!


Why should you hire a professional contractor for your painting work?
Flexibility in Time
If you are a working professional, or a businessman working day and night you will naturally have no time to paint your home. Painting work is usually done in the daytime and you must allow the paint to get dried before it rains. What it means that you have very limited time to paint your house as an individual. When you do it through a professional you have flexibility in time and your routine schedule will not be disrupted as a result of it.
Professional Painting Services in Dubai gives wonderful results. You cannot match the quality of professional painters when you do the painting all by yourself. They have all the equipment and tools to do it smoothly. The paint they use is carefully adjusted according to the demands of an area at your home, for example, the kitchen or the exterior.
Fastness of Service
Professionals do their task in a faster manner and your painting work may finish earlier than expected. They use large screws that help to do a lot of work all at once. They use sprayers, long-handled rollers which you may not be familiar with.
Safety in Service
For high rise building, you will require moving the ladder every time you need to color the different angles. There will be long handles on your paint rollers which you must use with caution.
When you hire professional painters for your job, they guarantee to the work well which means as a homeowner you are no longer responsible for any mishap during the job. Choose a company which is properly insured. Suppose if it starts raining excessively while doing the exterior painting, they will come back to finish their task. Similarly, it helps you when there is any damage occurs to your property during the job. Though the damage is unintentional, sometimes it happens and you cannot prevent it. If it happens by any professional, you can claim for compensation.


I have been repainting the kitchen/dining room of our house.
Here are some before/after pictures. The art work is not hung up yet, just sitting on the table. But I found it while out shopping and it matches PERFECTLY!!! We were quite surprised at how "orange" the paint was on the bottom of the walls at first and thought seriously about repainting another color. But after finding this artwork we have decided to leave it. The orange matches the orange on the awning in the picture on the right. It really changed the whole appearance of our kitchen!!!!
now off to paint the living room since most of the rest of our house is boring beige/cream colored!!!
BEFORE: (note the lovely plaid wallpaper!)
AFTER: (Keep in mind it is not totally furnished yet!!!!! And our table is not centered...)
Update: I hung up the pictures!
Here's the old look in case you want to compare old/new


Bev Searle-Freeman was born and raised in the beautiful country of Zimbabwe. Art became her passion early in life and at the age of five, in kindergarten, she won her first art competition. The painting had been done on brown craft paper. It was a large loosely-painted tree with a big brown trunk and curving branches covered in layers and layers of leafy foliage in a myriad of greens & golds. One could not miss it placed amongst the other paintings of "lollipop trees" as her teacher, Mrs. Barnard, described them, and she encouraged Bev's parents to push her towards an artistic career.
Bev's natural talent and versatility have given her the opportunity to explore the many avenues and flavours in artistic expression, along with different mediums, each with their own unique qualities and characteristics to add variety to her work. Her work is constantly evolving.
Bev’s work is in private collections in Canada, the USA, England and South Africa.

If you are interested in getting your house painted, you will need to find out what types of paints are available. These include Eggshell, Satin, and Primer. You will also need to determine how much it will cost to complete the work.
If you are looking for an affordable way to give your home a fresh look, consider getting a new coat of paint. Not only will you be able to enhance the curb appeal of your house, but you can also help prevent mold from growing on the exterior walls. The cost of a professional painting job can vary depending on the condition of the exterior of your home. Some factors to keep in mind include the size and style of your home, the amount of trim, and the materials you use. For example, a typical two-story house may take between 70 and 120 work hours to paint, while a single-story home might require fewer. In addition, you can expect your costs to rise if your home has structural repairs, partial second stories, or unique architectural details.
If you are planning to paint the exterior of your home, you might need clarification about which primer to use. Here are some tips for choosing the best primer for your project. It would be best if you chose a high-quality primer that will last. Using a low-quality one can lead to wasted money in the long run. Also, it is important to choose a brand that the most trusted manufacturers make. For instance, you can find paint and primer in one product made by Glidden, Zinsser, and Sherwin-Williams. Some paint and primer in one product may also have other useful properties, such as stain-blocking capabilities. They can be a great way to simplify the painting process, but be careful to get one that is meant for the type of paint job you are doing.
Eggshell finish paint for exterior home painting is a popular choice for many homeowners. This type of finish offers good coverage, a smooth finish, and a hint of reflective sheen. It can also hide minor drywall imperfections. Eggshell is less durable than satin or high gloss paint, but it is easier to clean. Eggshell is also less expensive.
While eggshell is a favorite among professional painters, there are better options for kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas. For this reason, it’s an ideal option for first-time painters. On the other hand, it works well in more moderate-traffic rooms. Although it’s a popular choice for homeowners, it’s less durable than high-gloss paints. In addition, it isn’t as resistant to moisture.
Satin finish paint for exterior home painting services is one of the most popular finishes for exterior walls. It adds a pleasing sheen to any surface. A satin finish is also easy to maintain. Choosing the right finish is very important. Exterior surfaces need a durable and protective coating. The right sheen will hide imperfections and make the colors pop.
There are several different types of sheens. You can choose from satin, gloss, and eggshell. Each type works for different surfaces and needs. These sheens are easier to clean and hold up well under weathered conditions. Satin paint for exterior home painting services is great for siding, trims, fascia, and gutters. This versatile finish is especially good for hot and sunny climates.
Caulking and masking your home before painting is an important step. It helps protect the surface from paint spills and makes it easier to clean the area after the painting is finished. You’ll need to follow some specific guidelines to do a good job on the caulking and masking part of the project. For example, you’ll want to know the types of the proper material. You can find various types of tape, and wide varieties are made specifically for caulking. They include painter’s tape, which comes in various degrees of tackiness.
The cost to paint the exterior of a house can vary widely depending on a number of factors. It’s a good idea to get three estimates. You can also ask for references. In addition, make sure the estimates you receive are in writing. Some contractors offer a low bid for the sake of winning the job. While that’s a great way to win a contract, there are better ways. If you want to do the work yourself, a DIY solution can save you thousands of dollars. When estimating the cost of an exterior home painting project, you’ll need to factor in the size of your house and the material you’re using. As a general rule of thumb, larger homes will be more expensive than smaller ones. Also, the more prep work you do, the more your painting job will cost.

Bold Strokes. The complete paintings of Vincent van Gogh.
The works of Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) are among the most celebrated and well known in the world. Paintings such as Sunflowers, The Starry Night, and Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear. We recognize an artist uniquely dexterous in the representation of mood and texture, light and place.

This comprehensive study of Vincent van Gogh offers a complete catalog of his 871 paintings, along with writings and essays, charting the life and work which continues to tower over art to this day.

Growing up in a house full of antiques with life tinged by the Victorian era, my memories are of a quiet and elegant time.
In my own classical still lifes, I try to recreate those special feelings by lighting various flowers, fruit, heirlooms, and drapery until
I am satisfied that the overall setup conveys a sense of tranquility...paintings that can be enjoyed for many years.
WHY I PAINT LANDSCAPES:
I am a realist seeking the peace and quiet of earlier times. I am fascinated by the undulating hills, the green vistas, the soft blue mountains, and the rich historic areas around me.
Through both my plein air and studio paintings, I try to give an emotional response to these ever vanishing landscapes constantly in danger of suburban crawl.
The painting at right, Alabaster Horse, was featured in a recent exhibition "Indoors and Outdoors" at American Painting Fine Art in DC.
My procedure is to set up the objects in my studio until I get an arrangement that I like. Sometimes it takes many hours over several days. I had my eye on the horse for years...it was my grandmother's and I remember it from my childhood. After many adjustments, I finally was pleased with a set-up that complimented the graceful steed.

Everything You Need to Know About Surface Preparation
If you recently purchased a boat or you’ve already had one for a long time, and you feel like it needs a repaint job, you need to know that good surface preparation will help you achieve that seamless look that you want and ensure that you can enjoy it looking brand new. By preparing your boat for paint stripping and eventually painting, you can guarantee the best results and make sure that your new paint will last for a long time.
But what exactly do you need to know about surface preparation for your boat?
- Clean your boat thoroughly. Before you do anything to your boat, make sure that you give it a thorough wash, especially if it’s been on the water for a long time. Cleaning will help you get rid of dust, dirt, saltwater and other components that could affect the way your paint sticks to the surface. This will also give you the opportunity to check for any dents and cracks that need fixing before you start the repainting job.
- Decide on the kind of topside paint that you’ll use. Marine topside paints are either air dry, one part or two part activated products, so you need to decide on the best option for your boat and budget first since the kind of paint you’ll use will determine the type of surface preparation needed for the job. Also, make sure that you choose the right primer that’s compatible with the paint system that you choose.
- Hire the paint stripping professionals. Although paint stripping may sound like a fun DIY job for the summer, it’s still best to leave the task to the experts who have the right tools and techniques to get the job done right the first time. Paint stripping can also become quite messy with all the dust and debris that you need to clean after. But when you hire a professional paint stripping service like Minutemen Mobile Blasting, LLC, you can guarantee that everything will be done properly and without any hassles. Look for our paint stripping service done using Dustless Blasting technology, so you don’t need to worry about the dust and dirt, especially if you’ll be repainting your boat in your backyard.
- Think about your primer. Depending on the paint system that you’ll be using, you’ll need to prime the surface first to help the paint stick and last long and to give that extra coat of protection to your boat’s surface. Make sure to ask your paint supplier on the right primer to use for this job to ensure that you won’t go through any problems later on.
Repainting a boat is one of the easiest ways to make it look brand new and ready for the summer when you will be using it a lot. But to ensure that you get the best results, make sure that you prepare its surface properly through cleaning, stripping and priming. Hire the experts for these tasks so you won’t need to go through the hassles yourself. Contact us at Minutemen Mobile Blasting, LLC to learn more about the different services we provide!


Ben Georgia, City Lights III, 2009. Oil on canvas, 48 x 60 inches. Courtesy of the artist.
For painter Ben Georgia, abstraction offers the possibility of a fresh mode of communication. Georgia seeks a language that surpasses representation and the fleeting concerns of the moment, reaching towards expressing the emotional depths of human experience. Georgia writes, “I work to create something on the canvas which is not of this concrete, external world, and imaginary vision which I see from the start on the blank, white canvas and where the beauty and strength of the painting compensate for and counteract the tragedy and decay of life.”

For a while, I haven't really felt like taking on any new projects at the house. Once your house gets to a certain point, it's easy to ignore the minor things you had on your to-do list. And actually, that's a really nice feeling. But, recently I decided that I do want to finish our master bedroom soon. I decided that a room that we spend so much time in should be loved just as much as all of the other rooms I've decorated.
My first vision of this room is to have a bold wall color with neutral decor. We have a lot of pale and pastel colors elsewhere in our house, so I want something different on the walls here. I'm thinking a navy or slate blue, with light gray, taupe and white accents. So this weekend, I spent some time picking paint samples and painting.
We will probably keep our bedding, at least for a little while, so I decided I need to pick a color that goes well with that but can be flexible, if we change it in the future.
At first glance, my top contenders for paint were: Benjamin Moore: Mysterious, Evening Dove, Blue Note, Normandy, and Hale Navy, and Sherwin Williams Granite Peak.
I narrowed that down to BM Evening Dove, BM Mysterious, and SW Granite Peak and painted samples of those on posterboard.
|L-R: BM Evening Dove, BM Mysterious, and SW Granite Peak|
Our favorite is the one on the left, Evening Dove by Benjamin Moore. We will probably paint this weekend (hopefully!) since Sherwin Williams is having a 40% sale (I usually color-match BM paint to SW, since their store is closer to us).
So, what do you think about this color? It's dramatic, but I think it will be a nice change from boring white walls. With three windows and a vaulted ceiling in this room, I don't think it will be too dark. Other things we hope to do in the room such as paint or swap out furniture will also add contrast, so I think it will be pretty.
Here's a picture of BM Evening Dove in another room. I am pretty excited!

Today Leo’s Rabbit visited Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and explored expressive, colourful work and eventful life of Vincent Van Gogh. Throughout the exhibition Rabbit followed in the footsteps (pawsteps) of an artist who was intent on improving himself and deeply engaged in the artistic developments of his day. He was an artist who above all strove to create a new kind of art. Rabbit thought that, indeed, he had succeeded in that quest, but as for the beauty of his art...? Rabbit is not quite sure...
He viewed Van Gogh’s artworks on display with mixed feelings. He certainly wasn't impressed with the artist's early efforts, especially some of the portraits. He thought that they expose lack of experience and technique. In some of the paintings, he noticed disfigured faces with big, unnatural noses. A lot of the other artworks looked to him like a kind that a secondary school student (or even a rabbit) would have painted. He wasn't also keen on bold colours, vigorous swirly brushwork and objects being often outlined with thick black lines. All in all, our ignorant small-town Rabbit didn't appreciate the works of Van Gogh, one of history's greatest artist. Well, what one small Rabbit knows about art anyway?
He felt however a huge admiration and respect for Van Gogh for his continuous quest to improve himself, his wide experiments with various styles and his persistence and perseverance in finding his own unique identity as an artist. Van Gogh found his true calling as an artist at the age of 27. Without knowing whether he had any real talent, he set to work with unbridled drive and great determination. He thought himself the rudiments of the craft by studying the art of others. He worked furiously and in his short life, he produced over 2,100 artworks, including 860 oil paintings.
Rabbit also liked the fact that Van Gogh was trying to find the beautiful and the magical in the every day, often choosing as the subjects of his studies ordinary, hard-working people. He focused on peasants' life and their honest and humble existence in the face of encroaching industrialisation. His paintings also convey his love for the nature, that Rabbit certainly shares with the artist. He really appreciated a series of paintings of Orchards in Blossom, but wasn't that kin on a famous Vase of Irisis painting.
Rabbit was saddened to learn about Van Gogh's struggles with mental illness that eventually led him to his suicide at age of 37. The first in a series of artist's mental breakdowns occurred couple of years prior to his death when his friend, Paul Gauguin, came to visit him in Arles. Their personalities clashed, and after a quarrel, Gauguin left the house. He later claimed that Van Gogh had pursued him and threatened him with a razor. After returning home, in a state of a total confusion, Van Gogh cut off his left ear. Rabbit held his ears tight listening to this terrifying story.
In spite of his mental illness, often accompanied by anxiety and hallucinations, Van Gogh did show a tremendous appetite for work and he produced hundreds of paintings in his final months. Was his creativity driven by his mental illness? Who knows...?
The painting thought to be Van Gogh's last, found unfinished in his study, is the one of Tree Roots. At first sight Rabbit thought it is a jumble of bright colours and fanciful abstract forms, but after a closer look he realised that, indeed, it shows a slope with tree trunks and roots.
Our small-town Rabbit was grateful for the opportunity to explore Van Gogh's artworks and he enjoyed his visit to the museum. He did not, however, develop admiration for artist's style and use of colours, and to the terror of numerous art experts, who proclaim Van Gogh as one of the greatest artists of all times and a forerunner of the expressionist movement in 20th-century art, Rabbit could not understand popularity of the artist.
Leo's Rabbit 'lives' in my handbag and he travels with us everywhere we go. He has pictures taken at various locations, tourist attractions and places we visit. As a part of this blog we will describe Leo's Rabbit Travels to share our personal experiences from these visits. Hopefully couple of people (apart from us :-) ) will find it interesting and may even feel encouraged to visit one of Rabbit's destinations.

I am working with a limited palette so it is hard to get some of the colors (violet, bright red, pink etc). The second is with some photoshop retouching.
Palette: Venetian Red, Golden Ochre, Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Umber, and Titanium White.
I like the paint. It behaves a lot like gouache. It is a little more forgiving if you go back into it after it dries. I am also tired of working with a limited palette. :) I need to buy some more colors.


As a child, Stephanie Rose Bird moved from the urban environment of northern New Jersey to a rural one, in southern New Jersey, and it changed her life forever. Growing up on an outcrop of the Pine Barrens, living in a wetland, among forest creatures and lush vegetation, continues to inspire and inform Bird's work today.
She began working as an artist utilizing the landscape as a teenager. Many of those early paintings where of the lake on which Bird grew up. Later, she went further afield and painted the local fields and barns of Salem, Cumberland and Gloucester County. Then Bird turned indoors, to still life. Utilizing the tomatoes and eggplants that give New Jersey its name, the Garden State, she found a subject matter that continues to fuel her imagination.
As a stay-at-home Mom, Bird went on to become an author, again sharing her passion for nature, while hopefully inspiring others to engage. Her books center on herbalism, aromatherapy, and plant life. She was brought into the realm of herbalism from her interest in art and craft, inspired by her parents who were entrepreneurs and makers, who lived close to the land. She delights in making soap and healing balms, as well as handmade paper from plants, and even her own paint, at times, derived from sea creatures, roots, herbs and minerals.
Living in the Midwest with her husband and family, she has found fresh material from which to work. Her recent work has returned to favorite topics: flowers, fruits, vegetables and the landscape specific to the area. She never paints from photographs, preferring instead to work using direct observation of life. Bird enjoys her daily challenges working from still life and en plein air, which captures the particular light conditions of the day, wondering if it will be windy, warm or too cold to work outdoors. She utilizes a variety of different materials to explore her subjects including sumi-ink, India ink, oil pastels, chalk pastels, conte crayons, and aquarelle pencils on a variety of papers, and oil and acrylic paints on canvas.
What intrigues her so much about plants and the land, is the energy and power they have over us all. They shape and mold, whether we are aware of this power of not. She makes a deliberate attempt to convey the power and wonder of nature in her paintings and drawings, inviting the viewer to take a closer look at what was once familiar.
The genesis and inspiration for Bird's paintings and drawings are shared in this Artist Statement

Former AU professor Alan Feltus describes Susan Yanero's paintings as
"close to abstraction while being, at the same time, fascinating images of her interior world made through the magic of the immediacy of her brushstroke laying down color in such a way that drawing and painting and surface exist in equal measure, strong, direct, and unfaltering. We see something created spontaneously in the act of painting, without fussing or attempting to fix or to polish.”


SEE THEIR ART ON THE WALL NEAR THE LIBRARY (MONTECITO CLUBHOUSE)
I was born in the mid-west. At the age of three my parents joined the State Department and we moved to what was then called Siam . . . Thailand now.
Until the age of 22, I lived and was schooled in Panama, Ecuador, Bolivia, Kenya, Germany, and Brazil. I have continued to travel internationally extensively all my adulthood.
When I retired four years ago I knew I needed a hobby and decided to try to learn to paint. We lived in Kansas City and I was able to take lessons from Mark Weber, a premier painter of the Grand Canyon, who lives and teaches in Kansas City. Mark enjoyed teaching real beginners – which I was.
My husband and I both love art and we enjoy collecting local artists on our various trips abroad. I draw inspiration from nature and look forward to painting the beautiful landscapes of this area that remind me at times of Africa.
My husband, Bob, finally retired at the end of 2016 and we moved to Shadow Hills full-time.

Interior Painting Guidelines: Geneva & Lausanne
Painting the interiors around the house or your office means some prep work will be required in the process. Ceiling spaces can be a bit more challenging, but you can still do it fairly easily. Interior decorating can sometimes depend on a good painting job done around your home just as much as other smaller elements. The following preparations will help get you off to a great start:
- Begin your work by checking the walls and making sure you clean them up as part of your preparations for the coming painting project. With dust and grime often getting in the way means this will make the job a lot harder than it needs to be. You will need to make things work from the beginning, so this means you need a pristine clean surface if you want to have some really good results. A soft sponge, hot soapy water and a bit of work and you will have them dried out completely.
- The next step you will need to take is covering your floors in some plastic sheeting to protect them from paint drips. You can make use of fabric in certain cases, but the paint may sink right through if it happens to be thin so plastic sheets are the safer bet. The last thing you really want is to have to deal with messy floors after the job, so make sure you avoid that entirely.
- Cover all the door frames of your home, as well as the windows and trimming, protecting them from dripping paint on the walls and ceiling of your home. You can work on removing the tape as soon as you complete the paint job, but before your paint is dry or you can peel it off from the wall by accident.
- After this step is complete you will need to prime the walls so your paint coverage can be a lot more efficient once the job is done. According to the professionals house cleaners from Cleaners Kentish Town Ltd this will help keep them in a uniform colour so you can have a steady hue all throughout the job without any areas that could end up peeling later on.
- Use a roller to paint most flat surfaces, such as the walls for faster cover and a much more efficient solution. You will still need to use angled brushes and other types of brushes for the finer work, but with a good roller you can get a lot done without it becoming too annoying to deal with.
- You would do well to work by laying down a W-shaped set of patterns as you work on painting. This will let you cover the walls with almost no streaking in the process. It will take you a decent amount of work to deal with all of this but it will be far easier to complete than going up and down.
If you require some help to strip old paint, wall paper or interior painting, call Mr Fix It.

Sitting with Clothes Unbuttoned and Legs Stretching Out
The term originally referred to the appearance of an artist who is concentrating on painting. It has been extended to mean an unrestrained state of mind free from external interruption when an artist is doing creative work. The book Zhuangzi describes a painter drawing freely with his clothes thrown open and legs stretching out. “To unbutton one’s clothes” is to expose one’s chest and arms; and “to sit with legs stretching out” indicates a casual posture while one is concentrating on painting. This term stresses the importance of a relaxed state and complete freedom of mind to the successful creation of quality artwork. This concept had significant influence on subsequent development of theories on calligraphy and painting in later generations.
Once when King Yuan of the State of Song was to do painting, all the painters came. Half of them, after paying him their respects, stood submissively to prepare brush-pen and ink for him. The other half were waiting outside. One painter, however, arrived late and was casual in manner. After receiving the king’s instructions, he returned to his hostel instead of standing there respectfully. The king sent somebody to check on him, and he was seen sitting there painting attentively with his chest and shoulders exposed and both legs stretching out. The king exclaimed, “Yes, that is a real painter!” (Zhuangzi)
When doing painting, one should unbutton one’s clothes, sit with legs stretching out, keep himself free from all external interruptions, and ignore spectators. That way, one is able to obtain miraculous creative power, draw inspirations from heaven, earth, and nature, go beyond the rules of previous painting masters, and freely use various painting techniques. (Yun Shouping: Nantian’s Comments on Paintings)

Two years ago when my first grandchild was born, I decided to paint something especially for her -- to be hung in her bedroom. I wanted the subject matter to be something she wouldn't outgrow quickly, and include things she'd encounter during future walks around her neighborhood.
|My painting for Ember Rose, Nov. 2009|
My plan was to continue the tradition as each new grand baby came into my life. That happened almost exactly a year later, and I have been so busy playing with these two babies that I haven't finished the second painting...
But...I have a goal to finish it before Nov. 1st when my novel-writing challenge begins. I thought it would be fun to share the painting-in-progress with you.
|painting for Tristan|
Here's what it looked like in June.
|Here's what it looks like today. |
The letters in his name will be painted over and around the creatures.
If I don't finish it before Nov. 1st, at least I will be close.
Happy Creating Everyone!

Untreated wood is soft and porous, and one of the hallmarks of mahogany wood is its open grain. Unfortunately, this means that when paint color soaks into the wood, it can be difficult to remove completely. You ought to be able to remove the majority of the paint from mahogany wood, although this might require sanding or stiff brushing to get it out of the wood grain.
After you’ve removed the paint color, chances are you’ll have a lighter area on the mahogany. With a little creative stain matching, you can blend the light spot with the surrounding surface.
- Drop cloth
- Rubbing alcohol
- Paint remover
- Mineral spirits
Protect the floor beneath where you’ll be working with a drop cloth or old sheet.
Pour a generous amount of rubbing alcohol over the paint stain and let it soak into the wood fibers for about five minutes.
Scrub the stain with a soft toothbrush, rubbing only in the direction of the grain. Pour on more rubbing alcohol whenever it appears to be drying out. Periodically wipe the area down with a clean, damp rag. Continue with this if the paint color appears to be coming out — it can take some persistence.
Clean the stain with a damp rag and apply some paint remover if the stain is particularly stubborn. The City of Beaverton, Oregon, recommends citrus-based paint remover because it is relatively non-toxic and effective.
Allow the paint remover to work as directed on the label. This is typically from 30 to 60 minutes. Remove it with a wet brush, such as a toothbrush or soft scrub brush. It may take two or more applications to get rid of the paint color.
Match the color of the mahogany wood with some oil-based stain — stain is available in a wide range of wood tones, including mahogany. Mix it with little mineral spirits and rub over the lightened area you’ve been working on to blend it in.


Watercolor paintings are a type of painting that uses water-based paint. The paint is usually applied to paper, but can also be applied to other materials, such as fabric or wood.
Watercolor paintings are usually created by wetting the paper or other surface first, then applying the paint. The paint can be applied in a variety of ways, including brushing, spraying, or dabbing. Watercolor paintings can be very delicate and beautiful. They can also be very difficult to create, as the paint can be difficult to control. It can actually be a great way to learn and improve your skills. By studying the work of another artist, you can better understand the use of color, brushstrokes, and composition. And, of course, it can be fun to try to recreate a beautiful painting. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned artist, watercolor paintings to copy can be a great source of inspiration.

What is copying a painting called?
Copying a painting is called “reproducing” the painting. When you reproduce a painting, you are trying to create an exact replica of the original painting. This can be done by either painting the scene yourself or by using a printing process.
Can you duplicate a painting?
Yes, you can duplicate a painting. You can either use the same materials and techniques as the original artist, or you can use your own materials and techniques. If you use your own materials and techniques, your painting may not look exactly like the original, but it can still be a good copy.
Can you watercolor on copy paper?
Yes, you can watercolor on copy paper, but the results may not be as good as if you were to use watercolor paper. Copy paper is thinner and not as absorbent as watercolor paper, so the paint may not go on as smoothly and the colors may not be as vibrant.
How do I transfer watercolor to digital?
There are a few ways to transfer a watercolor painting to digital. One is to use a scanner to scan the painting and then save it as a digital file. Another way is to take a photo of the painting with a digital camera and then upload the photo to a computer.
