Train-ing

I feel the need to work with a warm palette in the cool days of winter in the desert.  I'm also enjoying working on cradled wood panels,

Enjoy!

Everwish

In August I participated in Art Unraveled, a series of art-related workshops which lasts for a week in Phoenix.  I had the pleasure of taking a workshop with Sandra Duran Wilson.   The painting below was begun during the workshop and finished at a later time.  I enjoyed Sandra and the information she relayed. It was an excellent workshop.

As a bonus, I happened to be the winner of the grand prize offered at Art Unraveled!  I was gifted with a huge basket of original artwork, jewely, art prints, supplies, stencils, stamps, etc. - all uniquely crafted and/or supplied by participating artists and vendors.  

If you have ever wished you might be the recipient of a wonderful surprize - here you are - Everwish...

View from the Forest Floor

If you look closely, you will see the subtle, raised texture of the leaves and plants of the tropical vegetation - as seen from the unique perspective of the tropical forest floor.  The use of light molding paste provides an interesting tactile experience for the hand and the eye!

Serenity 

I'm changing speeds today - veering from the intensity of color to something a bit quieter. Pure and simple, this is my favorite palette: Quinacridone  Gold (otherwise known as Azo Gold) and Phthalo Turquoise.  I felt the need for some deep serenity today and this is what poured forth...

Mt. Muchmore

Mt. Muchmore? - well OK.  This painting vaguely reminded me of Mt. Rushmore - but there is much more happening...so you get it. It is painted with acrylics on mineral paper with its unique soft, suede-like qualities - which evoke the look of a pastel.  It is mounted on a black panel.  I particularly like the colors peeking out in the sky.  Click on the painting to view its many details...

Enjoy!

Under the Deep Blue Sea

I have cooled the palette down a bit to include the other side of the color wheel - with blues and purples.  HOWEVER, as always with me, there are many complex layers of unexpected hints of color that draw you into the painting and allow you to swim deeply into the sea.

The piece is printed and painted on paper and affixed to canvas.

Enjoy exploring the multidimensional aspects of the painting!

River of Life

Today's painting has been in the works for a while.  Usually my paintings evolve rather quickly.   This one took it's time.  It includes a bit of mono-printed paper, foil, and layers of paint.  Note that the source of the river of life is...you guessed it...a Sri Yantra.

Enjoy!

Red Towers

We have journeyed from the powerful standing stones of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland yesterday to the ethereal Red Rocks of Arizona today.  It was a nice trip, right?  

This piece is painted on 140 lb. watercolor paper and mounted on a wood panel. It is the latest addition to my Arizona Inspired Artwork Collection...

Sedona - Chapel of the Holy Cross

This commissioned piece held great heart-felt significance to the person who commissioned it. As the artist, I felt very strongly directed from an inner source with each brushstroke and choice of color.  It was a very beautiful and calming experience.  Artists often talk of 'being in the zone' while creating.  With this piece I was not only in the zone, but also felt as if I were lovingly inspired throughout.  It is what I refer to as the divinity of creation.

The side view shows the deep cradled edges which were painted with a Venetian Red Gesso to visually reiterate the red of the rocks in the painting.

Arizona Inspired Artwork

Arizona Inspires (and Perspires)!

It might be the heat...it is only 117°...  

I have a deep affiliation with the Arizona desert and landscape.  I am often inspired to paint it in its many forms.  I have decided to devote an entire  collection on my website to Arizona Inspired Artwork.  

                                      http://cagleyart.com/collections/89793

This collection contains pieces done in various media - using watercolor, acrylics, ink and/or mixed media.  I will expand the series as the spirit of the sun inspires. The piece below is heavily textured and portrays the intensity of color and feeling evoked by the heat of the Arizona sun.  Let me know what you think.

Enjoy!

Day 30 - 30 Paintings - 30 Days - January, 2016

Sunset in the City

As of today, the sun is setting on the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge -  January, 2016. The experience of making the commitment to produce a painting per day may aptly be termed a challenge in the midst of the happenings of 'daily life' - especially if the process is outside of what one normally does.  

What I love about the process is that it moves you out of a place of the severe inner critic and allows you to accept the goodness of what you produce as an unfolding.  some days I loved what appeared on the canvas/panel/paper and other days it was more of an acceptance and learning of the potential of what could evolve in the next painting.

I also love the interaction with my many painter-friends - many of whom have become wonderful 'cyber-friends' and great supporters.  I have learned so much from each of you - old and new.  Thank you so much!!!  Thanks also to Leslie Saeta for being the catalyst to allow this all to happen.

Gilded Diamonds

The Harlequins strike again!  The series keeps expanding.  Today's painting includes warm and transparent Quinacridones paints along with metallic Gold.  Unfortunately the deep and shiny Gold is difficult to capture in a photo.  It truly exudes a rich and warm glow in person!

Lemuria

Lemuria is the name of a hypothetical lost land deemed to be located in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.  It was thought that the continent sank beneath the ocean as a result of a major geologic event such as a pole shift.  

For whatever reason, this painting seemed to choose its own underwater name.

Southern Cross

The constellation Crux also referred to as “the Southern Cross” - is the smallest constellation in the sky but it has held an important place in the history of the southern hemisphere.  For centuries, it has served as a navigational beacon for sailors, an impactful symbol to the Egyptians and played an important role in the spiritual beliefs of the Aborigines and many other cultures.  The constellation has been used as an insignia on the flags and stamps of many southern hemisphere nations, including Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Papua New Guinea and regions of Chile and Argentina. 

Having navigated by the stars while on a sailboat, this galactic beauty showed up in my painting today...
