Geraniums on a Ledge - Palette Knife Painting

"Geraniums on a Ledge"

8 x 10 inches, Oil on Raymar Canvas Panel

I am excited!! Crazy happy, can't stop smiling, feeling on top of the world. A couple of days ago Katherine who writes "Making a Mark" Blog mentioned the new group blog I started "Palette Knife Painters".

We have a wonderful group of palette knife painters contributing to it. I love opening the daily email updates I received from Feedburner to which I'm subscribed even though it's my own blog. Each artist is so talented, I look at the new paintings and I'm immediately inspired and ready to squeeze some fresh paint on the palette and do another painting.

You might notice the little widget on this blog for StatCounter. It lets me know how many visits I have to the blogs. I'm please to say that the stats for visitors to the palette knife painters blog has been really good fright from the beginning.

The painting above is a new one and is available for purchase by clicking HERE or on my website www.judymackey.com.

Arboretum Plein Air

Monday morning I went with fellow artist Barbara Woods to the Dallas Arboretum to find something to paint for their May Paint-Out. There are so many beautiful scenes it is almost a little too overwhelming. It would have been nice to take a visit a day before to scope out the place and get a feel for what to paint.

After walking around a bit both Barbara and I set up our easels in front of the DeGolyer Home and painted the door. I love doors so it was appropriate, I felt although the painting does not feature a lot of flowers.

So I did a second painting of a trio of pots that were near the Cafe along the walkway the lead to the DeGolyer Home. The combination of white, read and blue flowerpots were beautiful. It was full of Geraniums and Petunias.

Geraniums - SOLD

Geraniums remind me of Spain. Years and years ago I had an opportunity to live in Southern Spain where geraniums decorated every window box, patio, hanging pots, planters...

This one with the pink blooms is titled "Geraniums". It is sold.

This one on the left with mostly red blooms is called "Potted Geraniums". This painting has sold.
