when we owned an art gallery in Idaho. My love for painting has taken me
to Europe, Asia, Mexico and western United States. I am a watercolorist first, but my move to Arizona influenced both my style and media when I became a serious oil painter. These paintings now reflect the brilliant colors of the Southwest.artbyarlenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14445357188064148441noreply@blogger.comBlogger29125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-820600972954086422.post-68684309802421380922015-05-25T21:32:00.000-07:002015-05-25T21:37:15.198-07:00Whitefish River<blockquote class="tr_bq">

It was developed as a refuge for birds of all kinds. It is a beautiful and peaceful place to walk or rest, located on several acres of city property. This is a 14 x 18 oil painting with an exquisite gold frame<em>. </em>All paintings in my collection are original, many painted on location and the majority of them are for sale.artbyarlenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14445357188064148441noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-820600972954086422.post-35940681342019192082011-09-30T15:18:00.008-07:002011-12-31T09:41:29.704-07:00Dry Dock Boats<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTYJRIWC8QMmxgYdKqc2PFAmBM5ARCfFhs9ilLX0nooLwknGlALVYU7IutzPJ9X5GlhbP8Dq4FdQywRzYfahZqD81DT8vsBLVdcN4N6rlCBQeZmYlYaBh9jtehNCXQGK0vWe53AWrIoSgv/s1600/boat+test.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 322px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658281844715046610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTYJRIWC8QMmxgYdKqc2PFAmBM5ARCfFhs9ilLX0nooLwknGlALVYU7IutzPJ9X5GlhbP8Dq4FdQywRzYfahZqD81DT8vsBLVdcN4N6rlCBQeZmYlYaBh9jtehNCXQGK0vWe53AWrIoSgv/s400/boat+test.jpg" /></a> Boats at Alsea River, Oregon dry dock waiting for repairs.

Idaho's well-known Charley's Garden located on Payette Lake is a beautiful area of the canyon driving north through the mountains. This gorgeous impressionistic watercolor was completed after a road trip through McCall, Idaho. Size unframed is 10" x 13". Just add mats and the beautiful gold filligree frame and it measures 17" x 20". One of the artist's favorites.</div>artbyarlenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14445357188064148441noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-820600972954086422.post-71483592471503621532011-03-13T16:13:00.003-07:002012-05-09T16:09:00.018-07:00Southern France<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpa-T-oDqPyM9EhxcMXIOXXHKaYEEhyZlzFaGpOm4abb3VhS7mQFQmQNXG4jmy4TKxR8-rAhZkfOk5HejkR0WD7d-HmkThTgP2uTZHgbyY5EJqsDtLsZmCXwy9XAzYBsVwQka1T_2D6N8E/s1600/Southern+France.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583707114673639714" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpa-T-oDqPyM9EhxcMXIOXXHKaYEEhyZlzFaGpOm4abb3VhS7mQFQmQNXG4jmy4TKxR8-rAhZkfOk5HejkR0WD7d-HmkThTgP2uTZHgbyY5EJqsDtLsZmCXwy9XAzYBsVwQka1T_2D6N8E/s400/Southern+France.JPG" style="cursor: hand; float: left; height: 300px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 400px;" /></a><br />

A watercolor painted from a photo by Sandy Marostica in her travels to the south of France. Sandy was a wonderful photographer and artist living in Boise, Idaho. I had asked her to take some photos for me when she and her husband Larry visited in France. Sandy was a great mentor and friend who visited in Arizona. She brought her shows to Scottsdale, New York and the Pearl District in Portland, Oregon. She will be missed by art community and her many friends. This painting is "10 x 14" unframed and is available also as a print or giclee.</div>artbyarlenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14445357188064148441noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-820600972954086422.post-5674629755655614932011-03-13T15:35:00.003-07:002014-05-06T16:47:54.617-07:00Spring Tulips<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg-CMLAX8Ppvr4T5bi3MN4SKQaeBiEOQRJd-Lry42GrvmlYwR-58w-6RhOrArGGDqfY9Z_H1oyIOYWS2aombf0mWsprEx_qmp_uTXTwTeg9-usOUh3TkUaKkRf2sQ0dKIm2SX-6cv43ubD/s1600/003.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg-CMLAX8Ppvr4T5bi3MN4SKQaeBiEOQRJd-Lry42GrvmlYwR-58w-6RhOrArGGDqfY9Z_H1oyIOYWS2aombf0mWsprEx_qmp_uTXTwTeg9-usOUh3TkUaKkRf2sQ0dKIm2SX-6cv43ubD/s400/003.JPG" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583697931114922274" style="cursor: hand; float: left; height: 400px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 300px;" /></a> This image is from an acrylic painting completed for a "floral" show.

Amorgos is one of the many Greek islands in the Aegean Sea. When I was in Greece painting, it was all about watercolor. It lends itself to watercolors which can be done on location making it unnecessary to bring home so many photos. It would be easy to translate this to oils, but it may not have the freshness of a watercolor. It's another wonderful place for an artist and I may go back and work harder since I wouldn't have to be a tourist the next time.<br />
This watercolor image is "14 x 20" but has a triple mat, blue liners and large off white mat with a silver frame which as another 6 inches to each side. It was a breathtaking scene on a pristine island.</div>artbyarlenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14445357188064148441noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-820600972954086422.post-21282997819597758912010-12-08T22:11:00.003-07:002014-04-23T14:56:19.025-07:00A Day In Venice<div abp="843">

This is the typical picture of Venice. I photographed the canal and have painted it several times. Adding the gondolas seemed to give it some life. Like most every tourist, I could go back to Venice and sit down and paint forever. It was a great pleasure to walk around, cross the bridges and take in the sights and sounds of this famous city. My pictures continue to get larger since there is so much one can put in them. This size is 24" x 30" gallery wrap which requires no frame, beautiful from four sides plus the painting. </div>

A waterfall that is part of Thousand Springs on the Snake River in Idaho. It falls into a beautiful pristine creek that flows into the Snake River. It is located in the Nature Conservancy. With special permission John Killmaster and I spent a day painting this beautiful area. This is an oil painting taken from an original watercolor. Prints and cards have been taken from this image. I could return to this location and spend a summer painting. This is one of Idaho's most beautiful areas.artbyarlenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14445357188064148441noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-820600972954086422.post-3323964834386020462008-12-05T14:02:00.004-07:002012-05-23T15:31:21.151-07:00This Is Tuscany<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5mNdlYLJiiaLXY-QO60YrK-VO_dr8DN6OE4WUKfPIn3X9HasT-fDCEJtYbMrICqW90UJERqquO8kXf9qGE_CN41tQ-5ebn5msyalUWfY2Ikbmpcopa8HPyCow4Hvxq9RfrnQhvXJ3Jj87/s1600-h/October-November+art+006.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276415485303610066" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5mNdlYLJiiaLXY-QO60YrK-VO_dr8DN6OE4WUKfPIn3X9HasT-fDCEJtYbMrICqW90UJERqquO8kXf9qGE_CN41tQ-5ebn5msyalUWfY2Ikbmpcopa8HPyCow4Hvxq9RfrnQhvXJ3Jj87/s320/October-November+art+006.jpg" style="cursor: hand; float: left; height: 320px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 240px;" /></a><br />

This is Tuscany. Although this is a composite of several images belonging to the artist, they are near Assisi and Chianti hills It's a reminder of the evening light, vinyards and farmhouses.<br />
<br />
The gallery wrap is 24 x 30. Its companion, a painting in progress will measure 30 x 40. Both are unframed and ready to hang. This is a series of "Tuscany" paintings and other landscapes of Italy.<br />
Since putting the Tuscany paintings on the blog they have been taken by a collector in California. With memories so fresh, they will be painted again, redesigned in another format which will improve the composition. Designing paintings and their composition becomes an exciting and creative process.<br />
