Penned in Pear (NA)

Penned in Pear by Sandra Galda (NA)

4"x6" oil on canvas board

The solitary painting process provides the time for the food items to reveal their obscured relationships. After staring and painting this set up for an hour, I observed what seems to be a huge drama occurring with the appearance of the far right tomato...am I the only one who imagines this sort of interactions?

Pear and Cherry on Napkin

Pear and Cherry by Sandra Galda
5"x5" oil on masonite

I am just returned from a nice Easter visit to family, so I am posting a small painting completed last year. I see areas in this small work that I would handle differently after almost a year 0f blogging. I have found the daily painting practice to be beneficial to my art! I hope to have a new one for tomorrow! If interested in purchasing, contact my email address sgalda@aol.com Thanks for looking, tell me what you think-leave a comment!

Memoir

Memoir by Sandra Galda

4"x4" oil on gesso board

Seemed a fitting theme this Easter week! After looking at this all day, I think I will adust the top profile edge of the bread and the top right side of the glass....I painted this in one half hour, maybe less. In the process my proportions are just a bit ...off. I may "fix" this little work and repost it....

A Passion for Painting Award

Here are a couple of sketches from my small purse sketchbook. I hope to paint the cup and bread sketch idea soon. It is ironic on the day I am probably only going to be able to post sketches, I am going to write about a painting award....

My blog was awarded a "Passion for Painting Award" by a wonderful daily painter, Karen Bruson . She is very talented and has a terrific ability to detect even the most elusive color hiding in a subject. Thank you Karen! She is one of several regularly art blogging artists that I met at a recent Carol Marine workshop, with whom I maintain contact with and share mutual encouragement; they are: Annelein, Katie Wilson-Bernatas Tim Cavanaugh, Rob Hazzard and Marina Petro (click on their names to check out all their art blogs). Kudos to these supportive, encouraging and very talented art friends! Kim Ratigan originated the award. It requires the recipient to list 7 things we love and the pass the award along to another 7 passionate painters.

My list of Top 7 things I love (mostly art-related, lest I list 70....)
1. The greatest designer of all, God!
2. License from my supportive husband and kids to paint.
3. My pets, especially my dogs. They are my constant friends while I work.
4. The study of endlessly abundant fine art information in books, workshops, and on the internet. 5. The art of John Singer Sargent
6. Living near the art Museums of Boston, Ma., especially the Boston Museum of Fine Art. I do not tire of wandering around and admiring the tremendous collection of art in this city. Art Museums are my thing. I visit art museums in any city we travel to.....
7. Art Supplies.............lots of them.
My list of Passionate Painters. There are so many who inspire me. My list is composed of the art bloggers who initially had a tremendous influence in my daily painting. (Actually, they continue to influence me, daily)
1. Aaron Lifferth's
2. Carol Marine's Painting a Day
3. Jeff Hayes
4. Michael Naples
5. qiang-huang, a daily painter

6. Duane Keiser

7. Karen Jurick

Friday's Foible (NA)

I keep a small sketchbook and some sketching pencils in my purse for attempts at regular sketching--at least once a week. These boots will be today's post unless I finish a small painting later tonight. Below is a better photo of yesterday's small painting. I am amazed at what a difference lighting can make. I took this photo when I got home from an all day outing today, but by the time I got home and took the picture, it was thundering and raining. Yup, you guessed another bad lighting moment--but better than late last night... I took it anyway, came in the house and promptly dropped the painting. Yup, jelly side down....alas it is just fine because the paint was well set and almost dry. but still.......what a foible.....

I painted this in a hurry, causing the exercise today seem pretty perfunctionary. Despite the rush it turned out ---not too bad.

Green Company (NA)

Green Company by Sandra Galda (NA)
6"x6" oil on Raymor board

If interested in purchasing contact my email address sgalda@aol.com Thanks for looking, tell me what you think-leave a comment! I am done with the sets for the high school musical The Sound of Music. The students, and even some adults, were eager helpers! I designed and applied the outlines and filled in the windows, they filled in the extensive areas of flat color. I suppose a musical is more fun than algebra and history for most of the kids! It is a great production, so many talented young actors and singers, competing with the best of Broadway in my opinion! I am so proud of the school. Here are some shots of just one of the three large sets:

Number Two Pencil (NA)

Number Two Pencil by Sandra Galda (NA)

Oil on gessoed masonite

Here is an idea my daughter and I had--a long formatted painting of a number two pencil. I forgot to measure the size and will add that information later. Oil on gessoed masonite board.
Thanks for looking, tell me what you think-leave a comment!

Above are two pictures of the Song of Music sets the kids at the high school, the director of the musical and I are working on for the musical this Thursday. They are such a good painting team! I designed and painted on the outlines then guided them to the application of the best colors to apply. We have lots more to do, but the lion's share is done. The director of the musical is an amazing girl, as is the fellow who built the sets!!! I will post more of the sets later.

The Edge of Cup (NA)

The photo on this cup is too fuzzy...will have to get a better shot. Today is my Sound of Music painting day....when I am oulining some large expanses of flats for a high school musical production. I will post pictures thru the process, hopefully later today. I worked next to a very nice artist during the workshop and we just exchanged links to our blogs...a first for me! Her art blog can be found by clicking here or look to my blog list on the right side of this page listed under other blogs I follow. more later ...

Ok, so here is the set. I just got home and I am tired. I drew it on the flats with charcoal and then solidified the correct lines with dark acrylic paint with a brush. Now the kids will fill in the "coloring book" with really big crayons...I mean small size rollers with Opps paint. Then I hope to get a chance to finish it over with some sprayed on shadows to give it some modeling, shading ect. Only three more this size to go! The show is this Thursday...... By the way, another wonderful artist contacted me from the Carol Marine workshop and we also exchanged links to our blogs, her name is Karen Brunson.

Workshop exercise: Green Apple

Green Apple by Sandra Galda

Oil on gessoboard 6"x6"

I have learned so much in the Carol Marine workshop, and met many wonderful and talented artists there! We explored many concepts that artists must grapple with in order to produce attractive significant small paintings. If anyone would like to see the artblog of Carol Marine, click here ! I have been out of town since last Thursday through late Sunday night and only posted drawings and one painting. Since gettting back home I have been taking a three day workshop. Therefore, if you are visiting my blog for the first time, look thru my previous posts to see my work completed before the above mentioned happy interruptions.
