Cedar Creek Lake House Painting Retreat '09

CANVAS BY CANVAS

A group of artists who paint individually

and collaboratively

The CBC Artists went on a four

day painting retreat the end of October.

We stayed at a Lake House on Cedar Creek Lake.

What fun we had being focused for several days on

just painting! We had a ton of fun laughing, talking and ate some

wonderful meals. Artists are good cooks, too.

Some of the group went to Canton's First Monday and

shopped till they dropped bringing back bargains galore!

We were quite productive during our painting time. About 30

pieces of art were produced including drawings, oil, watercolor and

acrylic paintings, pen & ink sketches, collage and pastel.

I've posted two acrylics and a pastel I painted on the retreat.

"BLACK STALLION"
40" x 40"
Acrylic on Textured and Gold Leaf Canvas

The "Black Stallion" painting was a commission painted for a

newly redecorated home. It will hang over the fireplace in

the large "lodge type" big room of the home owned by

a lovely lady named Della!

The colors in the painting blend with the rich warm

tones in this huge room with exposed beams, wooden floors

and two rock fireplaces. I am so pleased that this painting is at

home in this wonderful room and will be

viewed by Della's family and friends.

The painting process on this 40 x40 inch painting was different from

my regular painting surfaces. First I added a textured surface

with a palette knife and a thick compound to give the

surface lots of rough bumps and crevices.

Then my friend and co-hart in crime, Connie, helped me

apply gold leaf sheets in an abstract pattern on the surface.

After painting warm burnt sienna, gold and orange colors as a

base which toned down the gold leaf, I painted the horse from

a photo of some friends horse whose name is "Bugs".

This painting was a challenge but very exciting and fun

in so many ways. I kept the subject matter simple but there

is a lot of interest in the painting surface with

all the textures and colors.

Hope you have enjoyed the painting, the process and it's home.

Come back soon to see what 's new!
