Evening in Paris and Welcome Home

Evening in Paris in a small oil painting of a young woman sitting in a wooden chair. She is dressed and ready for an evening in Paris. There is something very sweet and rich about that time when Europe was thinking of the new world and everyone was all a buzz about it.

The other is a larger acrylic painting with a white unpainted edge. It is called Welcome Home. The house sits among the trees in a peaceful and beautiful spot that is covered in lush greenery and wild flowers.

It is a much needed retreat for rest and renewal. A charming abode awaits.

Lilies for Lian

Lilies for Lian

This is a vivid acrylic 11.5x12inch painting of random huge Lily blooms.

I was so inspired and impressed when I saw a painting by Lian Quan Zhen where he had painted lilies in a photographic demonstration and painted all the foliage in nutmeg, butternut squash, black and brown (my colors). It was most beautiful and very cool. There was something about that style that was classic and true to form but then that unexpected twist. Painting the stems and leaves black, brown, and gold gave this lovely piece a fresh funky feel that was most appealing and attractive.

Lian Qaun Zhen teaches Chinese and watercolor painting workshops, which I would very much like to take part in. To see his work and learn more about this artist and his work just follow the link below.

Songbird

Red-winged Blackbird

This is a painting I did in acrylic from a photograph of a male blackbird perched on a branch over the water. The Red-winged Blackbird is a wetlands dweller and is also a songbird. The female Red-winged blackbird appears more like a sparrow.

I first made this painting 12x12. However, I found a textured linen colored mat and brown wood frame and decided to trim it down, cutting off much of the water. It is now all contained in a 8x10 frame and is adding cheer to my home.

Here is a link to follow to learn more about this bird or other birds. http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/Red-winged_Blackbird.html

Some Spring Morning

Some Spring Morning

by Beth Sebring

Some Spring Morning is an 8x10 Oil on Canvas board. The Yellow blooms seem to be everywhere and you can almost feel the warmth of the sun streaming through the branches, not to mention the glorious fragrance.

There's really something special about that spring morning sun, its almost blinding to the eyes but so healing to the muscles and bones.

King of the Hill

King of the Hill

This is an abstract acrylic painting of my ex neighbors house. I could stand on my front porch or on the side deck and look up the hill and see his large A-frame house. It didn’t really have many trees or bushes or landscaping to anchor it. It looked a little strange and isolated up there in the moonlight on that hill.

No Show in New Hope, PA

New Walls for New Hope

As long as the in-scene art world has willing and able participates that cooperate with the gallery owners and pay the fees and submit to the terms, and are willing to play the game, the in-scene-art-world managers and makers will continue to hold the trump cards and win. They will decide who gets seen and who doesn’t. who’s in and who’s out.

If the artist would fire the Gallery owners and art promoters then the beautiful people wouldn’t have anyone to exploit.

That would really change their in-scene-art-world and their pockets and their posture, in fact how would they pay their rent???


You too could succeed in becoming a professional artist in the in-scene-art-world if you know the right people and have the right look and know your place, and have money to spend.

ART with a PURPOSE

A Blog thats VASTLY Different

What’s all this blogging about? Who’s reading all this stuff? Everyone has a blog these days. And it isn’t just blogs, there are so many little groups and clubs and links and favorites. Information overload really. There’s My Space, and Facebook, and Squido and Stylehive and Flickr and on and on. There is an unsearchable amount of information in the world and case in point, on the internet. Who could keep up with all this flurry and really who would want to?

Do we really need all this zoom, zoom, zoom of facts and links? Good question. And again, I am not going to blog about blogs. Blah, blah, bloody blah!
Sometimes it makes me want to go inside and shut the door.

But when you find a resource that is lovely to look at, chuck full of helpful information, and is also entertaining, now that is a blog worth reading.

Take VAST for instance. Here you will find an absolutely beautifully, well done group blog that has a high grade quality look and an intensely creative pulse about it that could make even the most uninspired and non-artistic person want to paint a ceiling and grow a beard.

V.A.S.T is a collective group of creative souls, who make up the Visual Art Team at Etsy. (which by the way, rhymes with Betsy. In case you were wondering.) VAST members are shop owners at Etsy who choose to congregate as a collective body, a Team.

Take a second to check us out by clicking the link below. Get the hazelnut brewing and relax a minute. This is a blog worth reading.
