Day 30: 30 Days - 30 Paintings - Feb - March 2018

Inside the Hive

I have worked with bees and bee products for many years.  The plight of the bees over the past several years - which has resulted in the dramatic demise of the bee population due to toxic chemicals - is alarming.  

My 30th painting in 30 days finale today represents my homage to the bees and the work that they do to serve humanity.  To me, the bees provide the proverbial light that allows us so much of the food we eat, as well as the plants and flowers we cherish.  I wanted to portray the sense of light that the bee community provides for us all.  Hopefully, I have achieved that in my painting 'Inside the Hive'.  

Check back tomorrow for a compilation of my 30 paintings over the past 30 days.

Enjoy!

Day 21: 30 Days - 30 Paintings - Feb. 2018

Gothic Quarter - Barcelona 

The walls of ancient cities carry with them character, aged materials, and beautiful muted colors.  The Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, Spain is a warren of narrow streets bedecked with imprints, designs and hues that reflect centuries of use and wonder.  This painting  celebrates the mystery of the old building walls in the meandering, narrow streets of this beautiful, unique city.

Enjoy!

Pueblo in Winter

I don't often use such a cool pallette, but here is an exception.  Winter arrives in the pueblo.

Gold Leaf Canyon

This painting contains a good deal of gold leaf and therefore has shiny components that unfortunately do not photograph well.   I prize the traditional combination of Venetian Red Gesso and Gold Leaf - and then using it in an abstract composition.  I worked with the design elements off and on for a few weeks until producing this - with which I am pleased.

I hope you enjoy it as well!

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.

Day 27 - 30 Paintings - 30 Days - January, 2016

Going Green

At times I shy away from working in green because it seems to oftentimes be a very fickle range of colors.  Then, I get my hands sloppy with paint and delight in the variety of shades of green that can be mixed - and I have a great time.  Here I'm peering through the illusion of a barrier that holds me from playing with greens...before I decide to just have fun and go green...

Blooming Love

Today's painting uses heavy bodied and liquid acrylics on a gold gessoed canvas.  It is smoothly textured with fiber paste.  The gold gesso captures the light and gives a warmth and soft glow to the piece, making it both eye-catching and heart-warming.

Compilation - 30 Paintings - 30 Days, September, 2015

Compilation of the 30 Day Painting Challenge

I thoroughly enjoyed the September, 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. Thanks to Leslie Saeta for hosting it.   I love how the exercise of daily painting  pushes you to the depth from which the paintings emerge.  It's not always easy but it is always productive.

Below is a compilation of most of my 30 paintings.  Due to size restrictions, I eliminated a few.  You can review all 30 paintings by clicking on each day in the Blog Archive on the right of my blog: http://cagleyart.blogspot.com

 Thank you for following along.
More important updates coming very soon...keep following...

Enjoy!

Day 30 - 30 Paintings - 30 Days, September, 2015

Seattle Sun

I rarely know what is going to manifest before I begin the process of creating an abstract painting.  For me it is a very intuitive unfolding that may begin with a fleeting thought, a shape, a color - pretty much whatever.  For the final day of this 30 day challenge, I can't honestly explain how or why the notion for this particular painting found its way to my studio - but it did.  

Perhaps because something about the composition reminded me of the Space Needle, the title 'Seattle Sun' emerged.  As a former Seattleite, I have an intimate knowledge of the feeling of the city.  

I have very much enjoyed this 30 Day Painting Challenge.   It was a joy each day to see what was going to make itself known.  

Thanks to all my artist friends - former and brand new - for your comments, ideas and encouragement during these 30 days.  
It has been great!!!
