I'm inspired to these sorts of intimate scenes by the work of Julian Merrow-Smith. The compositions are interesting, and as a 'foodie', the subject matter delights my taste buds.

I have a few Duane Keiser paintings, and a couple of my favorites (Pasture Rose, Pine Cone) involve still life set ups on a window sill. Definitely an inspiration for this piece.

This painting arrives matted and framed with overall dimensions of 16 X 20 inches. The mat and frame add to the overall price a bit, worth it for the effect it delivers.

I painted a version of this on site in Choteau Montana this summer. The earlier version is here.

This is the first painting I've done in the studio based on a field study and supporting photographs . I enjoyed the process, and felt much closer to the subject than if I had painted from just photographic source.

I'll probably do this scene again, considering what I learned from this painting.

I just updated my main website: jasonwaskey.com and I desperately need a squadron of eagle eyes to give it the once over and report bugs/problems.

I will give away two paintings... one to the first person who reports a bug, and the next to the person who reports the largest number of bugs.

What counts as a bug? Broken links, failed image loading, 404 File Not Found, that sort of thing. Basically, if it looks wonky, let me know.

Typos count as half a bug. Two typos = one bug.

If you choose to accept this mission, you have until October 24th to report your bugs. Send me your bug reports !

Please feel free to pass this offer along to your eagle eyed friends!

You may have noticed some deviation from my fairly regular 5x7 sized pieces. I've been preparing for an end of year show at Brackenwood Gallery, and I've been trying to vary things a bit. This is a nice sized stretched canvas, floating in a box frame.

It's my birthday! :)

I love Julian Merrow-Smith's tightly cropped little masterpieces. When I found this earthenware jug/pot, I knew it called out for something similar. One of the few sunny summer Seattle days we had gave nice reflections of sky and lush greenery.

It has been a while since I've painted fish. I had a hankering to do another-- and I wanted to try something a little more ambitious. I headed to Pike Place and found this beauty.

Here's the first painting of my recent road trip to Choteau Montana.

I set up at a gas station/bar/casino along highway 200. Mary Jo went in for a meal and a drink while I hacked away at the canvas. It's one of the larger pieces I've attempted plein air, and a little ambitious for my first of the trip.

I mentioned in a post last week (Hazy Studio View) that often when I do studio view paintings I focus on a small, distant sliver of the horizon. This is a little closer to what I actually see out to my immediate left.

Angel Gallery Opening Report

2011-05-22T10:59:00.000-07:00

Last Friday Mary Jo and I drove on over to Coeur D'Alene, Idaho to attend the May art walk. I was the featured artist at Angel Gallery, and was asked to do a painting demonstration during the event. We had a very nice time-- the weather and setting were each beautiful, the company couldn't be beat. In the picture above, you can see my art in a corner of the gallery, and Mary Jo, looking stunning, chatting with one of the nice Angel Gallery folk.

I found a pretty little Degas dancer reproduction, and decided to focus on that as my subject.

My joke was that was probably as close as I'll ever come to hanging next to Degas, so I should probably take advantage of it.

I staked out a little spot that wouldn't interfere with foot traffic too much, and began painting.
I was working without a net... nice jeans and shirt. No apron.

There was a large turnout, and I did my best to engage and interact with the crowd.

After 3 hours or so of painting and talking, the final piece:

And I didn't even get paint on my clothes.

Thanks to everyone who turned out, Mary Jo for her lovely support, and to Angel gallery for hosting the event!

Whenever I paint the view from my studio, I think I make it seem like I have this awesome view of mountains and trees. Nothing further from the truth. This is the tiny little sliver of horizon I see through tree branches, wires and rooftops.

I've really been meaning to get back into figurative work, and I think I'll make Friday posts figure related. Expect to see more self portraits than you probably want to, as I am the cheapest and most easily available model. For now, Mary Jo has been kind enough to pose on occasion.

Please note that this painting is for sale, but it is unframed.

I've been sketching a bit more as of late, so a good mix of work and home in these pages.

I've painted this before a couple of years ago. Thought it'd be worth a revisit to see what's changed over time...

I had planned for this painting to be posted next week, but Keiser just posted something with similarities, and I'd hate to feel like folk think I'm just picking up after him... ;)

Inspiration Sunday

2011-05-01T11:02:00.000-07:00

I know I owe the third part of this series:
Notes on becoming an artist... part one of three
Notes on becoming an artist... part two of three

But it's my blog and I reserve the right to give my self an extension on part three. :)

I did mention that Sundays are for inspiration. Normally I'll probably focus on a single artist to keep these posts short. The following three artists though are sketch artists-- so here's a quick outline of each...

Nimit Malavia-- check out the "process' section of his website.

Donald Colley-- and his website.

James Jean-- website

Select a year, then use the "previous/next' buttons below the image that pops up to explore the sketchbook.
NOTE: many of Jean's pages contain nudity and/or sexual suggestive imagery, and would be considered "Not Safe for Work." They are also amazing-- you can spend hours looking at these.

There's a petting zoo in Tillamook Oregon on the way to Lincoln City, and since Mary Jo loves the animals... I get a sketch stop.

I usually leave the flowers to those more capable, like Sarah Sedwick, but every now and again...
