<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;">As you may know, my family and I live in Central México. While were wedged between the two storms and got a lot of rain last week, we were spared the brunt of these storms. As we began see reports from the affected areas we began to think of a way that we could help, beyond just taking a few canned goods down to be donated, we want to try and help in a bigger way. I can't imagine losing everything and or losing friends and family members in a disaster like this. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;">I decided to make the small gesture of putting a few of my paintings up for sale at specially reduced prices to raise some money for relief. To take that money and buy necessities and non perishable goods to donate to the <b>Mexican Red Cross</b>. The Red Cross has the best infrastructure for getting donations where they need to be.</span></span></div>

This project continued to grow with the more than generous support from friends who wanted to help. </span></span><br />

love the design in this piece. It has a little bit of everything, the
people sitting on the benches, the green tarps on the fruit stands and
pieces of several buildings in the back. Some of the same buildings that
are in the painting above this one, but from the other side. Thanks

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 22px;">This
painting of a Huizache tree and a nopal cactus was done mostly on
location. I worked on it a little more in the studio. I was especially
attracted to the back lit thorns on the cactus. The orange on the tree
is not the Huizache flower, it is an invasive parasite vine that is
growing on the tree. I like the color though.</span><br />

is a colorful little plein air painting by Jerome Greene. I really like
how he captures some architectural flavor as San Miguel as well as the
vibrant color. Jerome has been a good friend of mine for many years and
he is a frequent visitor to San Miguel. He has done a lot of painting
here, and this one was painted on the spot during one of his
visits.Thank you Jerome!</span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 22px;">Painted with oils on an oil primed linen panel. The buyer
will receive the painting safely packaged and ready to frame or hang as
is. <br />
This landscape painting is a view looking up at a sunlit wall against a
deep azure sky. I really liked the rich colors and strong contrast in
this view. <br />
Painting #22 in the series of Italian paintings from our recent trip to central Italy<br />

"Bomberos" 5x7 Frank Gardner ©2012 SOLD<br />
$475. Framed and 100% is donation for the volunteer Fire Dept.<br />
<br />
I painted this as a donation to a fundraiser at my gallery. We are raising money for the Fire and Rescue of San Miguel de Allende.<br />
This piece is still available and I will pay shipping to the US. <br />
<br />
Our fundraiser was last night and despite the rain, lots of people came out to show their support. There was a sock monkey tree, with a whole clan of handmade sock monkeys by our friend Ruth. There was a sculpture donated by a local artist Terra Mezwa. And the featured event was our "Hearts on Fire" project where we ask 20 local artists and other people to decorate a heart shaped nicho that I provided. We had a great assortment of nichos, many with Valentine or Fireman themes. The ones that are left will be on display at the gallery until they are all sold and 100% of the proceeds are for the Bomberos ( Fire Dept.) Our whole family was there helping out and the old International Fire Truck in this painting was parked out front. Sold lots of Valentine's cookies, brownies and meringues too.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pics of the nichos. Maybe I can post more. We decided to go with "suggested donations" instead of a silent auction because of the rainy weather etc.. some are still available. We will be purchasing things from the "wish list" of the firemen and hope to deliver the donations next week some time. We are over $2,000. Dollars now and still have some work to do to grow our total by the end of this week. <br />
<br />
We are also taking donations via Paypal from out of town friends. <br />

One of our friends that braved the rain in the afternoon to come show support. Well, braved is not the best word. He and his brother enjoyed playing in the rain on the fire truck and putting on all the gear. They actually geared up with boots pants, coats and helmets.<br />

Was real busy, so did not get many shots of when it was hopping in there.Frank Gardnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02011564146411771531noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398982987918743636.post-29246966868151183392011-12-30T14:44:00.059-06:002012-01-03T20:38:18.927-06:00"20 Representational Painters to be Inspired by in 2012" My personal list of paint that inspires me.To welcome in the New Year I've put together my personal list of 20 painters to watch in 2012.<br /><br />I am not an art critic and don't pretend to be up on everything that's going on out there in the art world. These are painters that inspire me personally. Painters that I will be following in 2012 in my quest to become a better painter. They inspire me to push myself artistically and experiment with new things. I chose them from a huge list of favorites as painters who have developed a personal style.<br /><br />I'm inspired by so many painters that my list was very hard to narrow down to just 20. I had to leave out many others or maybe I just forgot to include some. This is just my personal list. I in no way mean to slight anyone else or give the illusion that these painters deserve more than the rest. I'd like to add students in the <a style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);" href="http://vkontakte.ru/album-16966189_139714254">Academies in Russia.</a> to the list of inspiration. Holy Guacamole!<br /><br /><br />"To Watch" lists are often about the up an coming "new" thing. However, I believe that representational painters evolve into their own style over time, as they become more fluent with the language of paint. So my list is made up of painters from all levels of their artistic careers, not really "newbies". I chose them for a variety of reasons. I can't go into everything I like about each of these, but I'll try and add a sentence or two about each one.

I hope none of them mind.<br /><br />I hope you enjoy MY list of 20 Representational Painters to be Inspired by in 2012.<br />Listed in no particular order.<br /><br /><br /><br />1- Susan Lyon. <br />Sue is amazing. Her drawing is impeccable. I was totally blown away be her little figure sketches on velum that she did this year. She has some downloadable instructional videos on her web site and you can check out a <a style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nr2OhzCKM0">link to promo for video here.</a><br />Inspiration: draw well, keep experimenting.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVzsBkQx9koHvfoOMqVxSlua44q3dvZzHKk9BflgXt9j56ryJBpWTmKcb5OX6SexlBFTPEFcluUdwDsyFR4VhFYkXXr81ZrvkUHCI43z0Q9HJLxrVhkN4Qb227yevWdSgtWx1qd1WIISc0/s1600/figureincharcoal.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 304px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVzsBkQx9koHvfoOMqVxSlua44q3dvZzHKk9BflgXt9j56ryJBpWTmKcb5OX6SexlBFTPEFcluUdwDsyFR4VhFYkXXr81ZrvkUHCI43z0Q9HJLxrVhkN4Qb227yevWdSgtWx1qd1WIISc0/s400/figureincharcoal.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692311986179978162" /></a><br />Susan Lyon, Figure in charcoal.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHAdYpnMH4UvA9pa8jqdh8ARugeP0XoqMAADabN1ElqP0b56Wo8z55aGcYH_HWde9AVezs4T3_CQNzr8muPP3824WPYhvYn_PBNkhXm8vL2asukhTmqm9tPVKJIvZSHFVfmvInTqXAhsRs/s1600/25.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 374px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHAdYpnMH4UvA9pa8jqdh8ARugeP0XoqMAADabN1ElqP0b56Wo8z55aGcYH_HWde9AVezs4T3_CQNzr8muPP3824WPYhvYn_PBNkhXm8vL2asukhTmqm9tPVKJIvZSHFVfmvInTqXAhsRs/s400/25.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692311678106605138" /></a><br />Susan Lyon, figure sketch on velum. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />2- Ignat Ignatov.<br />I love Ignat's work. He is also one of the happiest upbeat guys I know. I love his portraits, but watching him paint one is the best treat. He starts with a loose sketch of light and shadow and pulls the likeness out bit by bit. His paint handling and color inspire me. Inspiration: Paint better portraits.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsF8UOGAVnZkSOJulh6nxC2xGFjyY61wqOR1H9JgoYI6azM9dGsKgyDXngPf-D2Ov60IEZg4kB0jd-BzfFrXKUPh_njvyXHLbd0EV5sJyYTyE67-SLXWnFOr9FMlQf7SmQbOAX-i3J-Yrz/s1600/254515_10150206920403183_744108182_7181546_3413731_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 310px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsF8UOGAVnZkSOJulh6nxC2xGFjyY61wqOR1H9JgoYI6azM9dGsKgyDXngPf-D2Ov60IEZg4kB0jd-BzfFrXKUPh_njvyXHLbd0EV5sJyYTyE67-SLXWnFOr9FMlQf7SmQbOAX-i3J-Yrz/s400/254515_10150206920403183_744108182_7181546_3413731_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692319177775747218" /></a><br />Ignat Ignatov 2 hr demo<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipal7lmEKo5Er1hT5z4Zeknas9f7uyYFKPDcN9CjxjiUmyjg9spIXcuxLG6w7ElZddQirqiEQTu3HfhsURK0uhPS5MwgMBub9C9TqueHUwEq09hwyi3kh9JPMJ-dhzqdASVU3q8wfnDvmB/s1600/383662_10150469761563183_744108182_8787415_112190255_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipal7lmEKo5Er1hT5z4Zeknas9f7uyYFKPDcN9CjxjiUmyjg9spIXcuxLG6w7ElZddQirqiEQTu3HfhsURK0uhPS5MwgMBub9C9TqueHUwEq09hwyi3kh9JPMJ-dhzqdASVU3q8wfnDvmB/s400/383662_10150469761563183_744108182_8787415_112190255_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692319025596790050" /></a><br />Ignat Ignatov, portrait of Alexey Steele<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />3- Paul Oxborough.<br />Paul is just a kick ass painter. I love his seemingly effortless brushwork. Reminds me of Sargent, but with a twist that I really enjoy. There are a bunch of great images on the Eleanor Ettinger Gallery web site. Check out the night scenes. Inspiration: Paint better.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUkBfNIA3wLD7u2FmCp8IqRrBX6sHWg8DAQKJ7qzR77HrN3ein1vOpli6KgyM9nClgbHozDgEPs2YT_U7gz8AoEthNs0HTQ0BwWn5QmGk9-OD0RVeGvwk-jhTYfJUqa4rKxj7XgSMohMoS/s1600/oxb015.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 386px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUkBfNIA3wLD7u2FmCp8IqRrBX6sHWg8DAQKJ7qzR77HrN3ein1vOpli6KgyM9nClgbHozDgEPs2YT_U7gz8AoEthNs0HTQ0BwWn5QmGk9-OD0RVeGvwk-jhTYfJUqa4rKxj7XgSMohMoS/s400/oxb015.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692334679497506290" /></a><br />Paul Oxborough, "First One Up" 34x44"<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVbnnQLtkkI3NNqRMkaSl9AR33AJ_d7BnqftT-mM1vgysvXpDifnMUzFdlwV0KX4MJmYKhbqQ6mP7hcPj1W4evW8zZYp154BrnMO904L7gBa4fav7w8p70u_r6K79bUbzuMHo2Ky8kHaip/s1600/oxb214.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 273px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVbnnQLtkkI3NNqRMkaSl9AR33AJ_d7BnqftT-mM1vgysvXpDifnMUzFdlwV0KX4MJmYKhbqQ6mP7hcPj1W4evW8zZYp154BrnMO904L7gBa4fav7w8p70u_r6K79bUbzuMHo2Ky8kHaip/s400/oxb214.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692334278587776162" /></a><br />Paul Oxborough, "Dinner by Lamplight" 5x7"<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3a64pwYoAl7L4nQBxVVF6E5Mv8zcQTwmFQp4psx_UlN6sL49u__3dZk7EgtfoorKvx-FY2X0RGlnjMmwJmxfng2qm5KpU3JLjr2q0x8_skcTQWSH3QPjCJ_nwRvq5i8AVk6ZOxUyodqf-/s1600/oxb189.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 398px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3a64pwYoAl7L4nQBxVVF6E5Mv8zcQTwmFQp4psx_UlN6sL49u__3dZk7EgtfoorKvx-FY2X0RGlnjMmwJmxfng2qm5KpU3JLjr2q0x8_skcTQWSH3QPjCJ_nwRvq5i8AVk6ZOxUyodqf-/s400/oxb189.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692333465882547154" /></a><br />Paul Oxborough, "Sailors" 36x48"<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />4-Eric Merrell.<br />Eric has a great eye for color, it really blows me away. He has developed a totally unique style. You really need to see his stuff in person to get the full impact of his brushwork. Not sure how he does it. He has kind of a light handed, very textural, short stroke that enhances his style. Inspiration: Get a better eye for color.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhquH-MK-ZBp5ac1F7zxUATK4ukksHwii3UbXl0DUv5qm3DfQGT7H2skXAqsGo2Musg6i9ps2moUz26_m4SxQAghpoVA8N7leTx_15eG6cR-tsBjn1Zbh62qxJKVv4MfbNtMqjilun-mebx/s1600/eric+merrell.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 332px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhquH-MK-ZBp5ac1F7zxUATK4ukksHwii3UbXl0DUv5qm3DfQGT7H2skXAqsGo2Musg6i9ps2moUz26_m4SxQAghpoVA8N7leTx_15eG6cR-tsBjn1Zbh62qxJKVv4MfbNtMqjilun-mebx/s400/eric+merrell.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692312779723274418" /></a><br />Eric Merrell<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiNGDAbF33nltAevXTpAfLQLMnQkMQbf83oIC0vYo0wmeysNDUe7oa_tqsZbiOqhRnepgx_giANkYpq_WfMRpYGzGLroYCnhjmznw9wY-_s-JQJxbeUJdKQyBl6FWC-lr6IJOHsBLgkADa/s1600/388206_10150468287987737_735657736_8906752_1860313279_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 294px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiNGDAbF33nltAevXTpAfLQLMnQkMQbf83oIC0vYo0wmeysNDUe7oa_tqsZbiOqhRnepgx_giANkYpq_WfMRpYGzGLroYCnhjmznw9wY-_s-JQJxbeUJdKQyBl6FWC-lr6IJOHsBLgkADa/s400/388206_10150468287987737_735657736_8906752_1860313279_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692312503994006594" /></a><br />Eric Merrell<br />"Weight of the World" (Temple Crag and Third Lake, Sierra Nevadas) 30" x 40"<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQS_tNhaNuZzDbSSUUBdyLJOlQbmp4o3Fyfjvl8J2bzP-VZqI1XtA_9rh_wEPWEnZdTxIEdQgvB0cq_-GbHEMQr3m3_EP0PjqpsOxml_4GtKHR05A_N6nPByYBRBh9Md0pPUn-RPZGen-r/s1600/28603_417435222736_735657736_4625203_6882093_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 293px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQS_tNhaNuZzDbSSUUBdyLJOlQbmp4o3Fyfjvl8J2bzP-VZqI1XtA_9rh_wEPWEnZdTxIEdQgvB0cq_-GbHEMQr3m3_EP0PjqpsOxml_4GtKHR05A_N6nPByYBRBh9Md0pPUn-RPZGen-r/s400/28603_417435222736_735657736_4625203_6882093_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692312216399666258" /></a><br />Eric Merrell<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />5-Vadim Zanginian.<br />I love the controlled chaos of Vadim's work. I'm into the way the images just seem to appear and fade back into nothing. It's something that I have been trying to incorporate into my work, so when I came across his paintings I was instantly drawn to that aspect of his stuff.

I'm really drawn to her designs and subject. I've seen some step by steps on line and I think that is the reason she made my list. She starts with what seems like a chaotic mess and pulls the image from that. You may see a pattern in my choices for that approach.

The painting below, "The Trapper" won an award in the ACOPAL open competition this year. The I saw this still life on his web site. Dang! love the mad skills as well as the color harmony and the choice of objects. He and his wife Kate Stone, ( who is also amazing, so there is an extra fav thrown in there ), have a cool blog: Painting Stuff to Look Like Stuff. Check it out. Their combined sense of humor guaranteed David's spot on my list.

He has inspired me for years. For this list it is his brushwork and unusual color combos that get me inspired. I've chosen two details of larger paintings below to show what I mean. Scott and Sue are two of the nicest most generous people I know. Inspiration: Don't be afraid to make bold color choices. Want brushwork? Then make some.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo13rV5iCeWITzNO1FBrfKwlTtnhg5BVDCWG4Il2RIUtEyXBvM9HWJ0C7z6n6nHFaMMaoyqBUY0msvVRKcKw5bs1zDE0jH4MSBWCWCdy9PFdsU8Bzg9-WVKAIT-eR3StU8WcrsQw_xTdVf/s1600/eBurdickEdizaSnrise.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 316px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo13rV5iCeWITzNO1FBrfKwlTtnhg5BVDCWG4Il2RIUtEyXBvM9HWJ0C7z6n6nHFaMMaoyqBUY0msvVRKcKw5bs1zDE0jH4MSBWCWCdy9PFdsU8Bzg9-WVKAIT-eR3StU8WcrsQw_xTdVf/s400/eBurdickEdizaSnrise.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692322304255458210" /></a><br />Scott Burdick, "Tent with a View" 11x14"<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaazZPM3AtF2Rc4DWRXk4I-Ziu93VBBK8cRm-bbIMfPlhaF1sVdY6G4Sycrf6j_sLpFQR_caAOez7av6qUMuEA1BFu_QrFp4A18y9hgd3wDz0YcF8_Y21LAZJLykp9lZvZ3Uu5lJiUcylx/s1600/emailAbstract2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 358px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaazZPM3AtF2Rc4DWRXk4I-Ziu93VBBK8cRm-bbIMfPlhaF1sVdY6G4Sycrf6j_sLpFQR_caAOez7av6qUMuEA1BFu_QrFp4A18y9hgd3wDz0YcF8_Y21LAZJLykp9lZvZ3Uu5lJiUcylx/s400/emailAbstract2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692322087763902050" /></a><br />Scott Burdick, detail<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikjnk3Le0CFTVFs7AOf-mp4twgGbtt9QjZfjwCCzTDaBIsdZKkH2rC3WQ3rTjQVa6KYKnPrtuIIXpYR0qGk21B4Y_vlHvY0vuqp-Yh1XCo3ekRWovx9vGbYOLlL6iNLcqv2D8H2pRZJF_T/s1600/DSC_0545.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikjnk3Le0CFTVFs7AOf-mp4twgGbtt9QjZfjwCCzTDaBIsdZKkH2rC3WQ3rTjQVa6KYKnPrtuIIXpYR0qGk21B4Y_vlHvY0vuqp-Yh1XCo3ekRWovx9vGbYOLlL6iNLcqv2D8H2pRZJF_T/s400/DSC_0545.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692321765699272466" /></a><br />Scott Burdick, "Colors of Africa" detail<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />9- Colin Page.<br />Colin has a unique style, but the way he can pick any subject and make it sing is one of the things I admire about his work. I'll be watching his progress in 2012 because I know some of the things he is working on. Our work and thoughts on painting and things we are trying to experiment with are very similar right now. I enjoy getting together to paint with Colin or discussing our work in emails. Inspiration: Anything is paintable. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh2vohRsC-kfYUfaQYvHu5lvtOJP0XnvptmT3O3E_e-4_yW2JGThnSySQiQ1Emkcgx5IoMPd1aK-4fKZ6QLZ_TTtSja-s6A_yohnGnpZwYh5jD1H1F2xvjBDW0IpE63JGeOHkAdiD63jO5/s1600/Diesel-or-Unleaded-sm.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh2vohRsC-kfYUfaQYvHu5lvtOJP0XnvptmT3O3E_e-4_yW2JGThnSySQiQ1Emkcgx5IoMPd1aK-4fKZ6QLZ_TTtSja-s6A_yohnGnpZwYh5jD1H1F2xvjBDW0IpE63JGeOHkAdiD63jO5/s400/Diesel-or-Unleaded-sm.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692321556159076930" /></a><br />Colin Page<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6KMBiyVcAMGGw8MLjG2LwuB6_YEbSq-x6vFn0hHMiDbcPKxBQFBPXL0Mt6R7xjwxzpIDACpCiRpbDmH03wm3lZ8p3wQQ6SanzdArFV_FapYMr4ucSgnUkdgbGf6GHQVgWHbYhE2gMHwzH/s1600/Blue-Oceansm2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6KMBiyVcAMGGw8MLjG2LwuB6_YEbSq-x6vFn0hHMiDbcPKxBQFBPXL0Mt6R7xjwxzpIDACpCiRpbDmH03wm3lZ8p3wQQ6SanzdArFV_FapYMr4ucSgnUkdgbGf6GHQVgWHbYhE2gMHwzH/s400/Blue-Oceansm2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692321410059800850" /></a><br />Colin Page<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPICH7nBdjXqED78qW2VR0UR_UmG-P7aJd77-njzSD5HPrk3VY-IFexkiIhtMWBU_8mr-bqmN7LOu4G9glhh3gjvLfwizu8W5LbaVwkO5_qWMDN4dbzW0GmCIpnPPjESxhLQmSXBnRP-xH/s1600/Camden-Flowers2sm.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 287px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPICH7nBdjXqED78qW2VR0UR_UmG-P7aJd77-njzSD5HPrk3VY-IFexkiIhtMWBU_8mr-bqmN7LOu4G9glhh3gjvLfwizu8W5LbaVwkO5_qWMDN4dbzW0GmCIpnPPjESxhLQmSXBnRP-xH/s400/Camden-Flowers2sm.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692321264380470338" /></a><br />Colin Page<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />10- Randall Sexton.<br />I'm really attracted to Randy's brushwork in his plain air landscapes.

I'm putting together a powerpoint presentation for my workshop in March where I will use lots of these step by step progressions and talk about my thought process in more detail. There are just 3 spots left in that class if you are interested.<br /><br /><br />In step one I used a limited palette of Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Red and white. I was just concerned with getting the drawing accurately sketched in and varied my color and values a bit to suggest the depth of the painting. Everything in this stage is pretty much just the shadow shapes.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM0X4BakG-FlCo5aBu9R0qS6eUe8R_5RknqvS5Xp3oUHU2MGJuQ8KvBw3eEwODOKG2gUQnJoeIfiyOMnlr_Z8MAfjQdl3WbMM-FZR5NLOqUGsvGqQdCSBhpI3zaDlyIwyTeL1Cg-CXjgGg/s1600/step+1+dusty+ride.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM0X4BakG-FlCo5aBu9R0qS6eUe8R_5RknqvS5Xp3oUHU2MGJuQ8KvBw3eEwODOKG2gUQnJoeIfiyOMnlr_Z8MAfjQdl3WbMM-FZR5NLOqUGsvGqQdCSBhpI3zaDlyIwyTeL1Cg-CXjgGg/s400/step+1+dusty+ride.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677597347262453154" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />In step two I began to introduce a little bit of yellow to the palette. I began to paint the shapes in direct light, and continued to adjust some reflected light and local colors in the shadow shapes.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWWGb8d9aPqzdVd9Haz8Ldq07JIKp3F9-DlKIM87erAUIwqqEaIKBuij2CCC_12Xn111pSNqQNslavWY4gyt5LLUmQ5gAQqHjO1PJRL28xUFrkJg14mfu4LCa-dgRhj2qy-ZFt9F9j1mCo/s1600/step+2+duty+ride.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWWGb8d9aPqzdVd9Haz8Ldq07JIKp3F9-DlKIM87erAUIwqqEaIKBuij2CCC_12Xn111pSNqQNslavWY4gyt5LLUmQ5gAQqHjO1PJRL28xUFrkJg14mfu4LCa-dgRhj2qy-ZFt9F9j1mCo/s400/step+2+duty+ride.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677597488212014098" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Step three is the finished painting. The reference pic had a bright blue sky, but I went with a dusty pink to accentuate the color harmony and effect that I wanted. There are a few spots of slightly stronger color in just a few areas. I let a little of that green tone <br />of the board show through in the final piece. I think it is a nice subtle compliment to the reddish pinks and goes well with the "rough" look I was after.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsZ1Ic6D4oniBJynll5uVNwOqBCeUMxCSlXjUz_eX208JQ491yw7Le1T2zD1KRTiLIqbOQt_DEKwYZCoPwf2uWgzSssxRRcI7joVY2IpvFRKzUevfxnF7616MPgmOfMGTl7xFr7IPyoHdR/s1600/final+dusty+ride.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 399px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsZ1Ic6D4oniBJynll5uVNwOqBCeUMxCSlXjUz_eX208JQ491yw7Le1T2zD1KRTiLIqbOQt_DEKwYZCoPwf2uWgzSssxRRcI7joVY2IpvFRKzUevfxnF7616MPgmOfMGTl7xFr7IPyoHdR/s400/final+dusty+ride.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677597654498656722" /></a><br />"Dusty Ride" 6x6" oil on board <br />Frank Gardner © 2011<br />$475. framed available at Randy Higbee Gallery<br />SOLD<br /><br /><br />This pieces is part of the 6" Squared Show at the Randy Higbee Gallery in Costa Mesa, CA.

This show offers a glimpse into the more meditative and contemplative moods invoked by autumn on Cape Cod.<br /><br />“I lingered on, and as the year lengthened into autumn, the beauty and mystery of this earth and outer sea so possessed and held me that I could not go.”<br />— Henry Beston, The Outermost House<br /><br />Opening Reception<br />Saturday, October 29<br />5:30 to 7:30<br /><br /><br /><br />There is also the Grand Opening Reception for the RS Hanna Gallery in Fredericksburg, TX.<br /><br />I'm proud to be part of this new gallery that opened last month. Shannon and Thad Hanna have put together a great set of artists. It's been a while since I've shown in Texas, but I have a lot of great collectors there that I am really looking forward to catching up with. We will be heading up to Austin later in Oct. and will be attending Grand Opening on Saturday Oct. 22nd.<br />If you are in the area I hope you'll try and make it out there for the show. A lot of their artists will be in town and it's sure to be a fun weekend.<br /><br /><br /><br />I'm also starting work on a few major pieces that I'll be sending up to M Gallery in Charleston, SC. They will be heading into their busy season soon and it's a great time of year to visit Charleston. <br /><br />I'll keep you posted as new work heads out to these galleries. As always, you can check their web sites or mine to see what is available there.Frank Gardnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02011564146411771531noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398982987918743636.post-11748679086471396402011-09-26T19:45:00.008-05:002011-10-30T08:48:51.958-06:00September 26 - mini series paintings<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvOtjHe4CViYcIxb8JSrCoAuL1yJB1mFdObncl7wKNu27Rh6ALUG-UgZul25hQKmzzg2L0WP3ey3gxIniWvYyaZ4B2gK6tJo5nOxcwJDBQmDbMd9dS5hXhjV-O4Ji4O3SFNN6XvYZsTVai/s1600/View+of+SMA+5x7+fgardner.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvOtjHe4CViYcIxb8JSrCoAuL1yJB1mFdObncl7wKNu27Rh6ALUG-UgZul25hQKmzzg2L0WP3ey3gxIniWvYyaZ4B2gK6tJo5nOxcwJDBQmDbMd9dS5hXhjV-O4Ji4O3SFNN6XvYZsTVai/s400/View+of+SMA+5x7+fgardner.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656834425558702578" /></a><br />"View of San Miguel" 5x7" oil on board.

A small group of people carrying a few "santos", figures of different saints. These pieces will help me decide on a design I'd like to use. It helps me to visualize how it will look in paint and think about it before committing to a large piece of linen. The detail is suggested, it's the value relationships that I'm interested in with these little guys. I may even end up painting something similar to both of these. They each have such a different feel. <br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxmH3U4OGYi6wVmUqvjzNUQPoIZmIc1tyWPz3Q_DltAqxOAMfNO5xeJ30C1reVluJ_ZyD9FUdlqJNVd_MheZ4H_17NKkD4-ozW6I3WlMN9iTQIVSdNu7RojB9sOgPdGfkCIqRw4bAks9hx/s1600/study+1-+6x6+fgardner.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 399px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxmH3U4OGYi6wVmUqvjzNUQPoIZmIc1tyWPz3Q_DltAqxOAMfNO5xeJ30C1reVluJ_ZyD9FUdlqJNVd_MheZ4H_17NKkD4-ozW6I3WlMN9iTQIVSdNu7RojB9sOgPdGfkCIqRw4bAks9hx/s400/study+1-+6x6+fgardner.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656093194098101954" /></a><br />"Santos" study. 6x6" oil on board.

I felt like I needed to break away from those photo references for a while and push my subject matter way out of my comfort zone. I don't paint many still lifes, so I thought that would be a good choice. A little girl's stuffed animals seemed an unlikely subject for me, so it was perfect. I wanted to still use some of the rougher scratchy strokes that I have been working with, but painting from life. I set up in our dining room today to paint these. <br /><br /><br />The first piece is a stuffed animal that Erin sleeps with.

Her house is a total loss.<br /><br />They will get back on their feet, but now would be a great time to add one of her terrific paintings to your collection.<br /><br />Her sense of design, confident brushwork and her eye for painting reflections are just some of the things that draw me to her work. We have a couple of her pieces in our private collection at home and really love her work. <br />As always, we would be happy to arrange shipping anywhere. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigg4_t1GATH70g5VDOXyryvYW1io4-Ec_bRKa6zytR_5vsgAICIPAqIBVQK5cY5OFqIu0QsqUvGNjDrVC1uUKLOJMwVt-NKdFe6vYcSFR3kGfyHaVltdpE_CCqzCQIhpkEmXXnZ4n7Mf_9/s1600/peppers_and_apples.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 388px; height: 275px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigg4_t1GATH70g5VDOXyryvYW1io4-Ec_bRKa6zytR_5vsgAICIPAqIBVQK5cY5OFqIu0QsqUvGNjDrVC1uUKLOJMwVt-NKdFe6vYcSFR3kGfyHaVltdpE_CCqzCQIhpkEmXXnZ4n7Mf_9/s400/peppers_and_apples.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650045468302924146" /></a><br />"Peppers and Apples" 20x28" oil Carol marine ©<br />$1,600.
