Sept 28th mini paintings - Bicentennial Collection

Muchas Gracias to everyone for their support and encouragement on these.

Today is the LAST day of the mini painting challenge celebrating the Mexican Bicentennial.
I have two today. Wish I had time for more, as I know there are still people trying to get these.

Eventually I will have some free time to make a blog post or two on my thoughts about doing this mini painting challenge.
One thing is that it's tiring getting the paintings done, photographing and posting them each day.
I wish that I could have dedicated all of my time this month to painting these, but there were just too many other commitments this month. Did the best I could.

Will ship most of the dry ones tomorrow. Thursday I leave on a paint trip for a few weeks. I'll see if I can post a few pictures of the gang painting. The wet paintings will need to be shipped when I get back in October. I'll let everyone know if their paintings were shipped tomorrow or not.

Don't forget that there will be an opening reception at Addison Art Gallery in Orleans, MA on Sat. Oct 16th, 5-7pm.
It will be a select group of paintings from our trip and a lot of the artists will be present. Stay tuned for more info on how the trip is going and any other related events.

Also, the M Gallery show in Charleston on Nov. 5th, is now a One Person Show. Please tell all of your friends about that one as it is my first introduction to the Charleston art scene. I hope it goes well.

Sept. 27th mini paintings

Well, finished boxing and shipped 20 paintings for my show at M Gallery.
Shipped another box with two others that had sold.
Have most of the minis signed, varnished and painted out on the sides so they can be float mounted. On the back of each they are signed, dated, and I numbered all of them in the order that they were painted for this special series.
Example: Bicentennial Collection #25.
Will start to ship them tomorrow.

I'll try and post some info on frame suggestions for the minis before I leave on my trip Thursday.

I'm going to be painting with about 15 guys for two weeks. Addison Art Gallery in Orleans, MA will be hosting a fresh paint show of some of the work. Please stop by Saturday Oct. 16th between 5 and 7 if you are in the area. There is a link in the sidebar on the left hand side of this blog or on my web site for directions. A lot of us will still be around at attending.
There will be another show of all of the finished work in Feb, 2011 at Addison and at the Cape Cod Museum of Art.

I'm bringing a lot of large canvases on the trip. 16x20s, 20x24s, and a few 24x30s.
That's a big size for me to paint on location. After all of these mini paintings I need to swing the brush from the shoulder again and paint BIG.

Three minis for today. Remember, tomorrow is the LAST day of this Bicentennial Celebration of mini paintings.

"Silent Shadows Across the Road"

Today was sent wrapping up and boxing the paintings for my Nov. show at M Gallery in Charleston, SC.
I didn't even finish it all, but my studio looks a whole lot cleaner and emptier without those 20 paintings. I can almost see one part of the floor all the way up the wall. It was getting crowded in there. Since I recycle my packing materials there are a few less big boxes in the way too.

Tonight I'll be signing and titling the backs of all of the mini paintings. I'm also painting out the sides of the panels black so they will look real nice if you float mount them in a frame. That is what I suggest so you can see every little bit of the painting. I'll explain all of that later in a post. I'll also email all of that info the people who purchased minis.

Since there are no mini paintings for today I'll post another of my favorites for the show.

Sept 25th mini painting - Bicentennial Collection

Very busy today with other business, so I only had time for one mini painting.
It is of a horse sharing some alfalfa with some chickens and a rooster.

I am also re posting two mini paintings that have not sold yet.
Maybe they got lost among all the others, so here they are again if you scroll below the info on purchasing.

Tomorrow is making boxes and packing paintings day. I'll try and have at least one mini for the evening.

Sept 24th Minis

Three mini paintings today.

I wanted to paint loosely on these three. Part of this project that I am enjoying is painting a little looser than I have been on the larger paintings.

I haven't painted any minis of down by San Miguel Viejo, so I wanted to get in a few before this project is over. The first two are from down there.

I am kind of rushed for time by having to post these each night. So I'll come back after the Bicentennial Collection project is over and talk about some of what I've learned by doing This painting challenge.

Tuesday will be my last post of these minis. I'll be leaving on a painting trip early Thursday, so I'll need to wrap it up. Some of the paintings that are not dry enough to ship before I leave will be shipped after I'm back in San Miguel, around the 20th of Oct.

For those that are interested, there will be an opening reception at Addison Art Gallery in Orleans, MA on Sat. Oct 16th.
I'll be part of a Fresh Paint exhibit of some select work that me and the guys will be doing on our painting trip, and a lot of us will be around for the show. I'll post more info on that trip and exhibit later.

The third painting, "Time to Go Home" was photographed after the sun was going down, so the color may be a little off. I'll change the image tomorrow. You'll like it more with the better color.

Show Preview

I just didn't have time to paint minis today. Tomorrow is my last painting day before I have to ship paintings for my Nov 5th show at M Gallery in Charleston.
I wanted to have something for you to see tonight. So here is a peek at one more painting for that show.

Sept. 21st mini painting - Bicentennial Collection

Just this one mini today. The rest of the day I spent working on the bigger paintings.
I'm pretty much in the final week of the mini paintings. I'll be heading to the US for a painting trip on the 30th, so I'll be ending this Bicentennial Celebration around the 28th.
I know there are still a lot of people interested in purchasing a few of these, so I'll do my best to get as many done between now and then as I can.
Thanks for all of the great response to these!

Sept. 20th mini paintings - Bicentennial Collection

"Colores del Campo" ( Colors of the Countryside) is a real loose one. I'd like to try and get this look in a 30x40.

The second is a horse named Tornado. I worked two sessions on it to get the look I was after.

I'll try and paint at least one mini tomorrow, but I'll mostly be working on paintings for the M Gallery show. It's my last week for getting things ready for that show.

Sept. 14th mini paintings - Bicentennial Collection

Felt like I was in a good groove painting today, no frustrations.
Really tried to keep the brushwork loose and simple. Just the important stuff.
One of the things I am enjoying about this challenge to paint as many mini paintings as I can this month is that it is keeping me moving. Forcing me to move on and not overwork.

Sept. 13th mini paintings - Bicentennial Collection

I still have a lot of work to finish in the next two weeks for my show in Charleston, plus, I started 30x40" yesterday that I hope to include in the show. It is inspired by one of these minis.
But, as promised, I have a few mini paintings from today to post.

The first is a view of San Miguel, early in the morning, when the sun is just starting to light up the buildings in the center of town. This was a really hard subject to fit onto a 5x7" board. It had me frustrated for a while, but I like how it ended up.



"Early Morning" 5x7" oil on panel, Frank Gardner © 2010

I wanted to switch the subject matter up a little, so I painted this hen and chicks walking along a wall. The bougainvillea adds a little brightness in contrast of the subtle colors of the chicks against the wall.



"Pollitos" 6x6" oil on linen panel, Frank Gardner © 2010
Unframed $110. USD + shipping
SOLD


The last one for tonight is of a mariachi group playing in front of the church in the main square. The color is off a bit since the sun was going down when I photographed it. I'll switch this photo out for a better one tomorrow. I think the color in the painting is a little stronger and the green mariachi suits are a bit darker than it shows here in the pic. There was some cool reflection from the sky that I could not get rid of in the photo.

Preview of Nov. 5th show at M Gallery, Charleston

I'm not going to be posting any mini Bicentennial Collection paintings this weekend.
Taking some time to wrap up work on my pieces for my show at M Gallery in Charleston, SC.
It is a two person show with me and Gladys Roldan de Moras. We will both have a selection of paintings with Méxican themes and assorted other goodies. I've been working all summer on my paintings for this show. It's going to be good.
M Gallery just relocated to Charleston from Sarasota, FL. so Gladys and I are not well known there yet.
Please help spread the word to any family or friends that live in the area or enjoy visiting Charleston. There are going to be a lot of great paintings.
Below are two of my favorites that I'll be including. Contact M Gallery of me if you're interested in setting one of these aside for your collection.

I really like the color and light in this one. It's going to end up being a larger painting. Feels like a lazy evening walking slowly into the setting sun.

I'm starting to feel more comfortable with arranging and painting still lifes.

I did a painting similar to this about 12 years ago. Never sold it and I'm kind of glad. It was way too dark. I think I did better this time. Love this old truck.

Sept. 9th mini paintings - Bicentennial Collection

Two for tonight.
I've gotten quite a few emails from people saying that by the time they look at my blog the pieces are sold. I try and post around the same general time each night as I can. I really can't show preference or pre sell these. There is no fun in that, and it's not fair to everyone else. Still only in the second week.

The top one is another Charro. So to make it a little different for myself today I used a limited palette of colors. Just red, yellow ochre, ivory black and white in this one. I'm happy with how it came out. There is a little glare in the photo, but you can see the real subtle color notes in this one better, so it's the one I went with.




"Charro II" 7x5" oil on panel, Frank Gardner © 2010

Canelo again, from the other side. I like the looseness in this one.
I painted this guy with my friend Scott Powers last summer. He just kept moving around and around that tree looking to eat the scraps of cornstalks. Much easier to paint from a photo.

Sept. 8th mini paintings - Bicentennial Collection

Last night I painted two still lifes, so today I am posting 5 paintings.

I rigged something up in my studio that is a pretty good still life base. Now I just need access to Carol Marine's fancy colored paper and fabric stash to use as backgrounds. I borrowed her idea of putting a sheet of glass under the set up to get nice reflections.

Sept. 7th mini paintings - Bicentennial Collection

Today completes the first week of the mini marathon.
I'm feeling like I should have more than 13 completed.
That's more like a 10K than a marathon.
I'll call it pacing myself, and will try and pick it up a bit the second week.

These have all been painted from reference so far. I'll keep doing those, but want to try and move on this week to include some done on the spot and some still lifes. I tried to set up a still life last night but got frustrated at my lack of experience with those and decided to go to bed instead. I'm going to give it another shot tonight after posting these. Maybe I'll actually get some paint on the board this time.

September 5th mini paintings

Had time for two of the mini paintings today.

Danza del Venado translates to Deer Dance. The Yaqui from Sonora perform this dance, but I believe it is performed in other places too, down into Guatemala. Yes, that's a deer head on his head.
I embedded a video of this dance at the end of this post.

September 4th mini painting

Had some other things to do today and a family get together this evening, so only one painting today.
But it's a nice one.

You may have noticed that I am trying to get some red, white and green into some of these. The colors of the Méxican flag.
I moved things around and came up with his clothes, the red blanket behind his saddle and the nopal cactus in the background.

Had a hard time getting good color in this photo. I may try and re post the image tomorrow.
Taking good photos of artwork is hard. Any artist will tell you that having to rush is not the best way to get good pics. I shoot in the sun, so I'm relying a bit on the weather and time of day. Wet paintings give glare, and if I shoot in the shade I don't get the color and texture I like. Doing my best to get a good representation of these.

Hasta Mañana.
