Post 238: What's On Your Easel Right Now?

What's On Your Easel Right Now?

I do love seeing (and showing) what artists are working on in studio. Whether its on my easel or for one of my fellow PWAS member's easels - as artists, we just can't help ourselves. We are happy to "show it off" (most of us at least!) So, to help show off what the artist members are currently conquering in their art spaces, here is a peek before it hits the regular air waves. 

I suppose I outgrew my mom's refrigerator a long, long time ago...Looks like some folks art outgrew the refrigerator too.

Let's See Who is Working on the What

Zee Berrios

This is what is on the easel right now.. it is 4’ X 3’, acrylic on canvas


Donna Liguria

What's on my easel right now? A couple of projects besides LOTS of new mini paintings.

I'm glad these minis are easy to store, they are EVERYWHERE! AND I have a couple of pieces started for Paint Manassas with pARTners.

Linda S. Nedilsky

I always enjoyed Albrecht Dürer,'s drawings,  so I decided to go back to my younger days when I drew more than I painted. Lately, I have been doing about 50% of both. 

I had not used toned paper in over 40 years, and thought I would give it a shot again with the subject being a white horse I met a few weeks back. He was a "pistol" of a personality and what better way to show his feisty attitude, toned paper with graphite and white pastel pencil. I am thinking I will do a few more of these in the near future. 

Title? "White horse" I don't really title most of my work, but since you asked..

Since it is domestic violence awareness month, I am doing a series about the feelings of being in that situation. It is acrylic on canvas, both are 30”x40”. I am going to add an acrylic gloss finish to the first one, and the second one is in progress. It is a subject very important to me, and I believe that making art about it helps people to know they are not alone in healing or trying to get out.

 

Katherine Owens

In response to the post by CJ Davis post here is a portrait of a domestic violence abuser, a subject also important to me.  Just off the easel. 

The title is John: A Fractured Soul. 

He tried to fracture the souls of those around him, sometimes with success sometimes not when he encountered a more resilient soul.

Bruce Fasick

Just started “Dupa” - Part of my upcoming Duets show … a mix of mediums and a common subject. (ie watercolor and a sculpture)

Shannon Seaberg

Commission piece for someone who recently lost a close family member. She wanted something that empowered her everyday to be strong for the rest of her family and of course herself. This piece is so special and so is the other one I am working on which is her daughter!! Art can be such an impactful way to brighten peoples lives and give them endless joy every time they look at it. Giving others a piece from the heart is beyond rewarding!!!

Post 214: What's on Your Easel Right Now?

What's on Your Easel Right Now?

PWAS Members show off what's on their easel (in the studio) right now.

PWAS Member's Artwork on the Easel in September 2022

The Prince William Art Society members are periodically asked this question for this blog and they graciously answer with a sneak peek into their studios to have a look at what they are currently working on. Some pieces look nearly finished, some are in the beginning processes. Let's have a look at what some of the PWAS Members are up to.

Anna Gatling

What Anna is working on...Strawberry 11x14 watercolor

On My Easel: Hydra, Acrylic on canvas

I just returned from a vacation to Greece and fell in love with the beauty of the land and people so I decided to try and recreate what I caught with my camera. Telling a story with words and photos is my passion. 

Note from Donna: I'm going to do the next Artist question on Where did you go on your most recent vacation? I several of our authors went to lands far away so I will include Michelle's pictures of Greece there.


My secondary Greek project: A Children's Cat Book. The island of Hydra is known for the cats who reside there. Ran the photos through the cartoon mode on the app Prequel. I'm working on a story line now. https://michellebakerart.wixsite.com/artwork Instagram @MichelleBakerArtwork

I am currently working on a color pencil drawing 14x20 of a Shih-Tzu. I am using Mixed Media Strathmore Paper and a various brands of my favorite color pencils.

CJ Davis

I am CJ Davis, a Mexican American artist working out of the PWC area. Here are my responses!

I'm currently working on a 16 painting series, I am halfway through at 8 paintings. The overall theme is 'Why I do art'. The first line is called "For survival" and the second line is called "To grow and heal". The third line will be "To love" and the last will be "To live". They are meant to be presented 4 paintings by 4 paintings, and each canvas is 12"x12". cjdavisart.com

My easel is now producing a feature of a mystique woman who is making a journey to a river. A title for this painting "River's Maiden" is in my mind. On a 16X40 canvas, I am painting this piece in the acrylic medium.

Thank you to all the PWAS Members that reply - look for the next Blog Question!
