Post 256: What's on Your Easel Right Now?

What's on Your Easel Right Now?

Most months I send out an email to the Prince William Art Society members and ask this question to help launch new artwork coming out. Let's see who took a moment to snap a picture this time...

1. Ann McCarty

I am struggling with this behemoth and wondering what the heck was I thinking.

I got written permission to transform the image onto canvas. I got the bulk of it on and still need to figure out how to work the features of the deck as well as put more details on the rope.

I'm currently working on Christmas Ornaments mini paintings with glittery sparkly thingies that I plan on submitting for the Open Space Arts Christmas tree. Some are 3x4 (with easel), some are 3x3 and some are 2.75x2.75.

From top left to right:

1. Temptation (cat eyeing Christmas tree) - could have called it "Pre-launch"
   
2. Mini Charcuterie
3. Paint Palette 1
4. Milk and Cookies
5. Snowflake
6. Bethlehem
7. Paint Palette 2
8. Wreath
9. Cardinal in Snow
10. Good Aim (Snowball about to hit target)
    
11. Toys!
12. Poinsettia 1
13. Poinsettia 2
14. Wrapping Paper
    
15. Hung Stockings... with more to come...
    

3. Otis Stanley

I am in the early stages of a new project and have not transferred anything to the canvas at this point.

So much to do right now. I have a solo gallery show that I am trying to get ready for coming up in January, and pet portrait commissions. To be honest,  some days I just want to paint something that is not on my "to do" list. 

Right now, I just completed one painting of a horse and working on a commissioned "drawing" of a sweet doggy portrait.

The story behind the horse is that a friend of mine's barn burnt down and her 12 year old son's horse died. This was in September. She said that her son has been just devastated. The horse was his first competition horse and they exceeded well in dressage and jumping. I was moved so much, I remember how I felt when I lost my first pet. I painted this small painting of his horse as a gift to help him through his journey. 

3. Elena Cheney Jochum

I am working on 2 canvas paintings at the moment. The first one is a Live Wedding Painting studio retouch. I spent 5 hours working on the live painting at the wedding and then completing it in the studio space. The second one I am working on is an oil painting of Mason Neck Park.
