White Hydrangea Palette Knife Painting by Judy Mackey

Like everywhere else in the U.S., we're getting ice and snow.  For my birthday in December, my friends bought me a selection of canvases of various sizes.  This one is an 8 by 8 by 1.5 inches deep gallery wrapped canvas.  I think the snow has influenced my choice of colors as I kept it soft and white.

Dog Study - by Palette Knife Artist, Judy Mackey

"Dog Study - Stella"

6" x  6", Oil on Board
Available on my Website, click this sentence to be sent there

This is from a photo I took of my dog, Stella.  I wanted to practice painting her because I might add it to a painting I have in mind.   Stella loves to go for walks even if it's to nowhere in particular.  She senses that it might be a walk if I put on either my tennis shoes or my gardening shoes. 

And as I go outside, she'll usually walk a few steps ahead of me though she has no idea where I might be going.  I like indulging and walk a bit even if I' wasn't planning on taking a walk just to make her happy.  She has a "happy" walk, almost a skip sort of walk when she's walking with me.  And when I took this photo she didn't even know I was capturing her to use as a model some day in one of my paintings.

Ardent - Palette Knife Oil Painting by Judy Mackey

"Ardent"

6 x 6 inches, Oil on Board

$90.00 - Available

Click HERE to purchase.

I've been painting angels and angels and angels it seems and this one was going to be a study for another "couple angel".  I had it sketched with my brown pencil but I didn't quite like it....it sat around in my stack of 6 x 6 boards waiting it's fate.  

So this afternoon as I was looking for another board to tone to get ready for more painting I grabbed this board and was going to wipe the pencil sketch off with some turpentine when I realized that the posture of the two was rather nice.   I outlined it with some brown paint and then the next bit was to put down red for the dress - suddenly it came alive.  I didn't want to mess with it and lose that "feeling"....because it was when I painted the red the word "Ardent" popped in my head.

This painting came together so quickly and I'm really pleased with it...I hope you will feel the same way too.

I'm Here - Angel Painting by Judy Mackey

"I'm Here"

8 x 8 inches Oil on Raymar Board

Available - CLICK HERE

Another from my series on Angels.  this started as an angel holding an umbrella but I was not really happy with it.  So actually this is a re-do - repaint - fixed up - painting.  I still wanted the angel to hold an umbrella - maybe I got that idea from an insurance ad, nonethelsss,

I think angels do look out for us......so here is one holding out an umbrella to protect us from the storms.  I changed the postion of her arms and her body and changed the color to a more soothing softer shade using the same pallete as the painting I'd done earlier called Angel Thoughts.  

The arm positoning was a suggestion from my painting buddy, Barbara whom I paint with nearly every week.  It's good having a painting buddy to paint and talk art with.  In a sense, she's my painting angel.  So if you haven't got one, do find someone to paint with.  It "makes" you paint - which is a good thing.

Thank you!

Angel Thoughts - Palette Knife Oil Painting by Judy Mackey

"Angel Thoughts"

10 x 10 inches, Oil on Raymar Board

Available for purchase.

This particular painting started out with an Angel doing something else and I actually drew the arms up and outstretched but after staring at this piece for a while, I decided to tone down the colors, making it misty and keeping the angel a little closed and pensive.  Sometimes painting over textured paintings is difficult because it's hard to "take away" the textures.  And sometimes the texture works and in this one, I'm hoping it works as there is quite a bit of texture all around.

Available for purchase -- Click Here.

I wanted to paint something "quiet" more dreamy - so I did this very lavender/blue painting of glads.  There are just a little touch of red here and there but it may be a little tough to see in this smaller photo of the painting.

Seashells - Palette Knife Painting of a Child on a beach - Judy Mackey

"Seashells"

6 x 4 inches, Oil on board

This was a little study I did for a client that requested a commission.  Just a little add-on gift.  It was fun to paint.  My paintings are not representational, they are more abstracted impressionism.  I like being able to tell what the painting is about but not being rigid and to have to explain too much in a scene.
