Arizona Women's Expo

Join us at the Arizona Women's Expo!

If you happen to be in the Phoenix area next weekend, October 10th and 11th, feel free to join us on the Arizona Art Supply Stage at the Arizona Ultimate Women's Expo at the Phoenix Convention Center.  



I will be working with and demonstrating Golden's new Qor (pronounced 'core') watercolors both alone and in a multi-media setting.  They are  highly pigmented colors that differ from all other watercolors in that they do not contain traditional gum arabic as a binder - but instead use something called Aquazol®.  The result is a beautifully vibrant, resilient palette that can be utilized in any fine art application.

Come join in the festivities!

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!!!

Day 29 - 30 Paintings - 30 Days, September, 2015

Keep Swimming

During this 30 Day Challenge I have seemingly alternated between hot desert scenes and cooling water scenarios.  An underwater scene popped up today, using mixed media on paper.  Enjoy!

Day 28 - 30 Paintings - 30 Days, September, 2015

Spiralocity

The spiral is a common shape found in nature and an ancient symbol in many cultures. It can have several meanings such as growth and evolution or it can represent a person coming back to the same point in one's life, but with new and enhanced understandings.  The symbol of the spiral can encourage a viewer to become more flexible and have trust when things change.

Enjoy the journey.

Day 27 - 30 Paintings - 30 Days, September, 2015

Harlequin Haven

This painting might also be titled Harlequin #5, as it is a recent addition to the opening Harlequin Series from Days 1 - 4 of this September Challenge.  It is unfortunate that the camera cannot sufficiently capture the shiny metallic painted areas which present contrasts of bright, yet muted softness in the painting as experienced when viewing it in person.

Day 26 - 30 Paintings - 30 Days, September, 2015

Stonehenge of the Southwest

One of the most unique and awesome features about Phoenix is the downtown Burton Barr Public Library.  In 1995, architect Will Bruder built an amazing structure to house the educational written word (among other things)  for the community.  

On the Summer Solstice - through deliberate, perfect geometry and intricate architecture - the expansive top floor Great Reading Room is miraculously transformed into a truly awesome experience.   Precisely at Solar Noon on the Solstice, the Great Reading Room's walls, glacial blue skylights and soaring pillars morph into a huge sundial and become illuminated from the sunlight directly above causing an outrageous ethereal light show.  The tips of the 28 pillars suddenly resemble freshly lit candles and the stone side walls begin to glow.  The visual effect lasts only a short time, but is enough to take your breath away.

To actually witness a celestial event because of the very intentional, pre-meditated design of a huge public-use building is phenomenal.  Sometimes referred to as the "Stonehenge of the Southwest", the Central Phoenix Library is something to be acknowledged and lauded.  Very cool...
