“Ready to Roast,” Original Watercolor Painting I will be showing my original watercolor paintings (and maybe a giclee or two) at GoodBean Coffee this year! My show begins March 1 and continues through March 31. I’m not yet sure which paintings I will bring, but there will be a selection of framed paintings from the pieces you see on my website. I hope you will find time to stop by and enjoy a cup of the GoodBean’s wonderful coffee and a treat from their bakery while you enjoy my work. If one of my paintings captures your heart, please contact Hannah West, the GoodBean’s art curator, at 541-899-2012 or email [email protected] to inquire and to make your purchase. If you find that one of my paintings captures your heart, please contact Hannah West, the GoodBean’s art curator, at 541-899-2012 or email [email protected] to inquire and to make your purchase. You might be interested to know that one of the things I love about showing at the ‘Bean (as it’s affectionately called) is they do not take a percentage of the sale price! Many galleries charge 40% or even more. However, the owners of the GoodBean have never intended to profit from the art that’s shown in their café, and they leave it to the artist’s discretion as to whether and how much they might want to donate to Mrs. West for her efforts. The GoodBean is located at 165 South Oregon St. Jacksonville, OR 97530. Currently, their hours are 6am-6pm. The post Linda Abblett Show at GoodBean in March appeared first on Linda Abblett Watercolors. New paintings added to lindaabblettwatercolors.comI recently completed two new works and discovered another that had not previously been added to my website. There are now three new paintings added to lindaabblettwatercolors.com for you to see! Click any image to learn more. 
Biscotti and Lavender
First, a new watercolor painting named “Biscotti and Lavender.” I’ve been experimenting with new ways of rendering my subjects. This one introduces a bit of transparency into subjects of the still life, a ceramic biscotti jar and vase with fruits, vegetables and lavender flowers. For those who love purple, this lavender-centric watercolor painting is the one for you! 
Music Under the Night Lights
Next, another new watercolor named “Music Under the Night Lights.” This painting was inspired by an outdoor music festival under the stars and lights of an Italian village called Bonasola. I experimented with pouring the paint on this one. This resulted in a different style for me, but it’s a fun effect and I’m happy with the results.
Sweet and Sour in Sorrento
“Sweet and Sour in Sorrento” is another painting inspired by my travels in Italy. I loved the contrast of the yellow and red when I saw this fruit hanging on a road side shed. It is not one of my new works, but was inadvertently left out of the images I sent to webmistress Hannah West when we created my new website last year. I currently have more paintings exhibited in the “Celebrate” show at Art Presence Art Center in Jacksonville, Oregon for June and July. Please visit the gallery to see my paintings in the show. The reception will be Saturday, June 11 from noon to 3pm – do join us, I would love to meet you! I hope you will also enjoy looking through my website and considering a purchase for you home or professional office.

The post New Paintings appeared first on Linda Abblett Watercolors. Prices Reduced on Original Watercolors!Over the past few weeks I have been sifting through all my original watercolors. There are many beloved pieces in my collection of originals, but there are older paintings that need to find their permanent homes. After looking through them all, I felt I needed to clear some of my inventory out to make room for new paintings, so there were more pieces that got price changes as well. These selections include some of my favorite paintings from places I have traveled around the world, as well as Oregon summertime paintings and some beautiful florals and still life pieces. The end result: when looking through my online shop, you will find many prices reduced on original watercolors…over half of them! Some paintings have been repriced with a modest discount of $25, but others will yield savings of up to $175 over the original price. I hope that, after looking through my watercolor offerings, you will find that the ones you love most are the paintings with new, lower prices. The original prices are no longer shown on the website. However, below is a gallery that will give you a peek at the paintings which have had their prices reduced (viewing the enlarged version in the gallery pages will show you the original price). Beneath is a list of titles in the same order with links to the shop where you can learn more, see the new prices, and make a purchase. Sorry we couldn’t provide the links in the captions…we tried and it caused problems elsewhere on the site.

First Plein Air Outing for Linda Abblett’s Art Students!I am continuing to have watercolor classes in my home studio. I have a great group of mostly beginners. It’s so fun to see their excitement and their emerging talent! Last week I took the group on their first field trip. We went on a plein air outing to the Antelope Creek covered bridge in Eagle Point,to practice the skills they’ve been learning in the studio. The Eagle Point covered bridge proved to be a great subject. Here are some pictures of my students working on their plein air paintings and the wonderful results of their efforts.

Praying Angel, 11 x 14 watercolor and ink collage As my website was being renovated, I created a praying angel painting for the GoodBean’s Angels show! And now that I have a new blog, I wanted to make this praying angel painting the subject of my very first post. This is the GoodBean’s third annual December Angels show, but the first I have participated in. Their call to artists says that the angel art artists submit does not have to depict traditional angels, or even Christmas angels, but artist’s interpretations of angels. The assignment is very interesting and results in a great variety of different kinds of angels for the exhibition. I didn’t have a painting of an angel ready to share, and though the angel I had in mind was a more traditional Christmas angel, I thought I would take a different approach to create one for the show. This angel is 11″ x 14″, a watercolor and ink collage. I wanted to paint a praying angel, and began by working on the background in watercolor. Separately, I created the angel, adding details in ink on top of the watercolor. Then I trimmed her and collaged her onto the background, which adds a nice dimensionality to the painting by making her “float” in the starry night sky. I am really happy with the heavenly effect. My Praying Angel painting has already attracted many lovely compliments, and will be on display with the angels of other southern Oregon artists at GoodBean Coffee in Jacksonville, Oregon until the afternoon of December 31, 2015. GoodBean Coffee Co. is located at 165 South Oregon St. Jacksonville, OR, 97530. If you might be interested in giving this angel a home, she is $250.00. Please contact Hannah West at 541-899-2012 or [email protected] if you would like to make your purchase before New Year’s Eve. After the end of the exhibition, please contact me. Merry Christmas! ~LindaThe post Praying Angel Painting appeared first on Linda Abblett Watercolors. |
