New Oil painting Ballet Dancer Edgar Degas inspired

 

Edgar Degas Art reproduction “My version”

 

The female form has a certain informality and much beautiful to paint that males, enjoying the poetic rhythmic strokes in each and every drawing and painting that Edgar Degas has done, thought to make something close to honor the master painter.

Enjoying the fall colors and the fiery crimsons that some of he’s paintings have, colorful and full of energy, no wonder he became so popular with he’s ballerinas. But then again, he grew tiresome and moved on to the next stage of he’s life as a painter. This, some did not understood.

As painters we understand why, it is very difficult to limit ourselves to others content, to bend and to please for the sake of others. Even more difficult to deal with ignorance and arrogance sometimes, specially when  the Art is not for the walls, but for the emotion of been able to do it, that art becomes very real and colors have a different meaning, and yes it is ok to abhor our own work and understand is all part of  that process and reaction that only art produces in us, with color and emotion!

Still life oil painting flowers and vase sketch on canvas paper

 

Titled: “Recovery”

Well just like the titled of the painting that is what is happening in my own life, learning to do everything and each and every day is a new experience, yet I have learned to appreciate even more the value of life it self and how beautiful is been able and share my talent with all whom care.

For the upper painting chose one of the life arrangements that a dear friend of mine got me to cheer me up, looking at the vase noticed how blue is the predominant color so chose that to be the theme of the painting, a lighter background, focusing in the petals and the pink ribbon surrounding it, the second painting has more a darker background as well and is titled “learning”, Shadows come to play and a mix of raw sienna and burnt umber played a big role in both paintings.

Grateful to be able and continue with Art and to share this with you, knowing that there’s more progress to come and my life has been completely rearranged for the better.

Taking me away from painting and enjoying my self as well as making everyone else's lives impossible, because of mood swings etc.

What does this has to do with my paintings, well the inevitable which is an surgery has to come and I would not be posting until my recovery. Both of the stores will be closed, the artworks sold this week will be the last ones to be sent out.

However posting the last paintings sold, this week for you to view and to keep my blog as for what it is for, Art.

ACEO kitten miniature oil painting

 

“The long slumber”

Very happy to introduce the new miniatures oil paintings, this one in particular is a 2.5” by 3.5”of two kittens taking a nap, very interesting, because of the way these two kittens are portrayed in a simple moment, and in a miniature style, this proves also how versatile working in miniature art is. This also teaches us, how different techniques can also be incorporated in to a miniature, and not just leaving it out for a single subject.

With hopes  that you learned to love, and appreciate this works as many have, which is an awesome way of doing art, thought also would be a good example for those who are starting out doing miniature works.

As usual, for more information about this and other new miniature and bigger size paintings. You can visit   http://myworld.ebay.com/vargasartstudio

This was a simple setup of an orange. Oil on canvas board 9” by 12”

The children wanted to use the blender today, which got me a little nervous since is the first time they are allowed to use it, expecting having blue berries, strawberry smoothie all over the walls.

Wile drinking the mixed berries, asked them if I could borrow one of the oranges to paint, they all agreed at the same time, and say uhuum… and this still life was born. .

Art original oil painting First Harvest Cherries on Canvas

 

 

 

Titled: “First Harvest” 16” by 20” Oil Painting Sketch.

Cherries!  first harvest of  May, farms of South New Jersey.  For this portrait an experience made in to a memory. One of the goals here is to  invite You the viewer to experience the moment and enjoy it as much as the  character, different tones of blues, complementing, and lines that  are used to take you to the center subject, which are the cherries.

From the background down, points out to the center, in return once you get there, the leaves invites your view to stop and jump back and look at the background.

Color an important Psychological part of any painting.  Part of technical, The artwork focus rather in having fun, and enjoyment! Yes skill is required, but should not be  the overall important thing, errors and mistakes in my case are acceptable, because no matter how many years of experience we have, there is always room for improvement.
