Sweep me away: 6 new landscape oil paintings

June 15, 2021 By admin

This collection of 6 landscape oil paintings explores some of the beautiful vistas in Newfoundland that just “sweep me away” with their raw energy, swirly rhythms, and incredible beauty.

The original landscape oil paintings in Sweep Me Away are now available for purchase. They are all oil on canvas, mounted to cradled wood panels with the sides left natural wood, and waxed. They can either be hung on the wall unframed for a clean and contemporary look, or be custom framed if desired.

The 12″x 12″ paintings have sides that are 1.5″ deep. The 11″x14 have sides that are 3.4″ deep.

Day 1 of the 30 in 30 painting challenge

September 1, 2017 By Irene Duma

Pastel painting of a house in the Battery, St. John's

Today I signed up for 30 in 30, Leslie Saeta’s “paint 30 paintings in 30 days” challenge. The event is  devised to get artists painting every day during the month of September. Today was Day 1 and I made this little pastel of a house in The Battery, the old fishing village in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

I have to give a call out to Karen Margulis whose blog I am devouring:  it is just loaded full of cool tips for painting with soft pastels. I have learned tons from her.

On this painting I did a little gouache underpainting on watercolour paper which I then painted over with clear gesso. The clear gesso gives the paper some “tooth” so that the pastel will cling to the paper surface.

Not only does it work like a charm, but I am really liking the way that you can get some extra texture and energy into the artwork by painting on the gesso with strong expressive brushstrokes that follow the marks on your initial underpainting. Check out the swirls in the sky.

I love this daily painting challenge. It’s part of my new commitment to devoting myself to my art practice: an important tip I got from Alyson Stanfield’s art biz coach newsletter. (How did we ever learn things before the internet? I just dunno.)

Bring on day 2.
