    If you haven't seen the two-DVD set, "The Impressionists", you don't know what you're missing!

    the-impressionists.jpg


    I rented it from Netflix and absolutely loved it. It is an enactment of the lives of Monet, Renoir, Manet, Cezanne, Degas, and other Impressionist painters living at that time around Paris. Fascinating and eye-opening!

Water Lilies after Monet — Miniature Painting

Posted by Jamie on November 19th, 2011

111117-Lily-Pond-mini-450

1.25×3.75″, excluding white border
SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

This is another Mini Monet from my “Jamie’s Jewels” line of miniature paintings. Since these tiny gems are so challenging to paint, they are done on a commission basis only. Be sure to make your requests soon (Like, yesterday!) if you want them for the holidays. They can be done based on any painting in my available or sold inventories, or of any painting in the public domain, or a scene of your choosing if you can provide a photo.

This one is being shown without a frame, since my handy client is making his own miniature frame! Most I frame myself. The paintings are sent in gold gift boxes, and I provide a miniature easel with each purchase.

It’s been so gorgeous out these past few days! I drove down to Hastings-on-Hudson to paint along the waterfront. I thought I’d be there painting alone, but three friends decided to join me and we all had a wonderful time enjoying one of these last amazing, warm fall days.

Deep in the woods is a stunning waterfall with clear water, rusty colors, and striking rock outcroppings, set in a hemlock grove. I often hike there with my husband, but this was my first time going with paints and an easel. I also used the opportunity to test drive a new easel setup, which I loved. More on that coming soon!

Here is my easel and painting at the scene when I was almost finished. You can see that by then the sun had shifted quite a bit. Much is in shadow in the photo that was very visible to the human eye:

Now that I know I can easily hike there with this easel, I’m looking forward to going back and taking on a bigger painting!

Golden Fluid Acrylics on Bristol Board
SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

Here’s another of my postage-stamp-size miniature Monet Impressionist paintings. They are so much fun to paint, and I always learn something new about the chosen “master” when I do one of these. I wish you could all see it in person. So much is lost in these digital representations of artwork!

These miniatures are done on a commission basis only, so if you’re interested in one, just email me at JamieWG@aol.com.

Below is another image of the painting. This picture is about twice the size of the actual painting:

The Hudson River from Plum Point

110628-Hudson-River-Plum-Point-12x16-450

12×16″, Oils on archival linen panel
SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

We had a really moody day on Plum Point last week, with the sun peeking in and out of clouds and an occasional threatening-looking cloud passing overhead. This is the view looking south through the Hudson Highlands, with Storm King Mountain on the right side. You can see the cut in the mountain where Route 9W winds around it. Fortunately the rain held off and I got to not only finish my painting, but complete a sketch for The Sketchbook Project 2012 too!

Rip Van Winkle Sunset

5×7″, Oils on oil primed linen panel
SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

Anybody who’s ever driven across the Rip Van Winkle bridge over the Hudson River has been treated to this fabulous Catskill skyline vista. It’s even more dramatic at sunset, with the colors springing up from behind the distant mountains. I’ve been going there recently to take photos. I like the way the islands in the river enhance the composition at this location.

Hudson Valley River of Grass

5×7″, oils on archival oil primed linen panel
SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

I was painting up in Amenia, New York today. This distant view looked like a winding river of grass through the hills! There were a lot of clouds in the sky, which were forever changing the lights and darks in the landscape. I liked it best when the light illuminated the “river”, and tried to capture those moments in the painting.

Spring Serenity Above the Hudson River

SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

Every spring I go to paint the Cherry Blossom trees at Boscobel Restoration, high above Constitution Marsh and the Hudson River across from West Point. This spring I was sure I’d missed the boat in terms of the cherry blossoms, so I was thrilled to see a few trees still in full bloom when I arrived there yesterday morning. The marsh still has its nice spring color — orangy red in the morning, turning to dark violet by late afternoon as the sun marches across the sky. In a few weeks, that will all give way to the greens of summer, and all of the extraordinary color will be gone.

This is the view from Boscobel Restoration in Garrison, New York, looking down the Hudson River, with West Point Military Academy on the far shore.

Woman with a Parasol After Monet

110422-Woman-Parasol-After-Monet-MM-450

1.5×2″ (unframed size), Golden Fluid Acrylics
SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

Here’s another of my tiny “Micro Master” paintings, this one after a Monet favorite. Figures are especially difficult in this diminutive size, but I love the challenge! The quarter in the photo is for size reference, so you can see how small these really are.

These miniatures are so difficult and time consuming that I only do them on a commission basis. It’s a labor of love! If you either have a favorite painting by a Master in mind or would like me to choose one for you as a commission, you can email me at JamieWG@aol.com.

La Troupe After Tolouse-Lautrec

Posted by Jamie on April 19th, 2011

110419-La-Troupe-after-Tolouse-Lautrec-542

About 2×2.5″, including frame
Golden Fluid Acrylics
SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

The image above is probably showing this painting at larger than real life on your screen! This is postage stamp size. The painting itself is about 1.25×1.75″. The quarter is there for size reference. I love Tolouse-Lautrec, and it so much fun to do these Micro Master miniature versions! I had to do some editing and use my own artistic license for this teeny tiny size. For instance, I’d never have been able to do the lettering that was on the painting in this itty bitty format!

These tiny master renditions are generally done only on a commission basis, so if you’ve got one in mind that you’d like to order, just drop me an email at JamieWG@aol.com.

Water Lilies After Monet — miniature painting

Posted by Jamie on April 5th, 2011

110405-Water-Lilies-After-Monet-1x4-4501

1×4″, Acrylics on Museum Board
SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

The quarter in the image above is to show you how tiny this painting is! I think this is the most challenging miniature I’ve done to date, though it was also really fun to work on this!

Haystacks After Monet

110202-Haystacks-After-Monet-easel-625v

1.75×2″, including frame
Acrylics
SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

These little Monet interpretations are so much fun to paint! This was my first go at one of his many Haystack paintings. I wish you could all see it in person, because it looks so much better than this digital representation!

These framed miniatures come with a mini easel to set them on, or can be hung salon style from a gold thread or ribbon. They are sent in gold gift boxes with gold bows to complete the “gem” effect!

Sunset at the Beaver Pond

110125-Sunset-at-the-Beaver-Pond-16x20-450

16×20″, Oils on archival linen panel
SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

This is one of my favorite places to paint. I’ve done several paintings of this beaver pond in all seasons, both from photos and on location. I never get tired of it! You can click here to see images of the painting in progress.

The subtle colors and textures are so much nicer in the actual painting. A lot doesn’t show up in the photo, but if you’d like to see a larger picture of this painting, click the image below:

Sunset at the Beaver Pond — Work in Progress

I liked the little square 6×6″ Beaver Pond Sunset so much that I did a few days ago, that I decided to do a larger, horizontal version of the painting. Above is the work in progress. You can see my photo reference taped to the top of the easel, and the small 6×6 painting on the lower left. There’s still lots more to add and adjust, but it’s off to a good start.

Below is an image showing the way I started this painting. The underpainting was done just with burnt sienna, beneath where the greens would go, and following the values and brushwork that I’ll be laying over the top with different colors.

6×6″, Oils on Ampersand Gessoboard
SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

One summer evening, I was sitting in my house upstate at sunset when the most amazing color started to form in the sky. I grabbed my camera and ran out back to the beaver pond in time to catch the blues, violets and pinks reflecting in the water. I’ve been meaning to paint from that photo ever since!

Foggy with Chance of Rain

Posted by Jamie on January 5th, 2011

110105-Foggy-with-Chance-of-Rain-5x7-450

5×7″, Oils on canvas covered hardboard
SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

I opened up my little 5×7 pochade box, and nestled inside was a painting I’d totally forgotten about. It was a painting of my driveway upstate on a foggy morning, but overall the painting was too light, and didn’t convey the heavily overcast, dull atmosphere as well as I’d like. So, I took it out and completely repainted it. Much happier with it now!

Kaaterskill Falls 7×5

Posted by Jamie on January 3rd, 2011

110103-Kaaterskill-Falls-7x5-GO-500v

7×5″, Golden OPEN Acrylics on canvas covered hardboard
SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

This is my first painting of 2011. It felt great to get back to my brushes again after a rather extended holiday vacation! This painting of Kaaterskill Falls was done from two studies done on location plus a photo reference. I think I’ll do a 20×30″ or 24×36″ version of the scene soon.

Kaaterskill Falls is the tallest waterfall in New York State, and was a favorite painting spot of the Hudson River School painters. It’s one of my favorite spots too!

Itty Bitty Version of a Monet Sunrise

1.25×1.5″ (excluding frame)
SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

These Monet Minis are so much fun to paint! I loved working with the orange and blue complements he used for his sunrise painting. Since it’s so tiny, I bumped up the saturation a bit in my version. Postage stamp size paintings tend to disappear if there’s not enough color and contrast! Here’s a closer view:

101209-Sunrise-After-Monet-quarter-425

These tiny copies of works by famous painters tend to get done on a commission basis, so if you’ve got a favorite you’d like done that is now within the public domain, let me know. They are sold framed and with a small easel stand, and come in a tiny gold gift box with ribbon.

Simple Elegance — Yellow Rose in oils

Yellow-Rose-oils-4x6-framed-600ns

4×6″, Oils on sealed, primed hardboard
SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

Every once in awhile, I forget to post a painting. Sometimes I don’t realize until years later, when somebody requests a painting of a certain subject. In this case, I was asked if I had a painting of yellow roses. In searching through all my yellow rose paintings (and believe me, I had no idea I’d done so many!), I came across this one, which never got posted to my blog. This ended up being the chosen painting. I’m sorry about the glare in the photo. (It’s a good thing I’m a painter and not a photographer!) This one’s off to a new home tomorrow, but there are more yellow rose paintings floating around the studio if anybody else is interested!

Remember, there’s still time left to get that special someone a beautifully framed 5×7″ painting at a Holiday Special price with free shipping! Many still available. Click here to see them and for details.

101116-Tarrytown-Lighthouse-Tappan-Zee-from-Rockwood-5x7-framed-800

I was painting at Rockwood again, this time from up high on the hillside, looking southward downriver. You can see the Tarrytown Lighthouse from there and the Tappan Zee Bridge, with the New York City skyline in the distance. It’s a spectacular vantage point on the river. Unfortunately, a huge development has been built along the left shoreline. I took it out of the painting so I could view the scene the way it used to be!

My friend Deborah and I went to paint at Rockwood today along the Hudson River. This may well have been the last of the Great Fall Days, and we didn’t want to miss it! The temperature was around 60 degrees, and the park was loaded with friendly people and happy dogs. Deb and I were pretty happy too!

This sailboat stuck around in the field of my painting for about a half hour, tacking back and forth in the river. Just before I finished, a couple got up on the large rocks to admire the view, and I popped them into the painting also.

Here’s a photo I took of the scene as we were getting our gear set up:

This tree in my yard is next to the bright yellow one that I posted a couple of days ago. I set up on my patio to grab the morning backlighting. The dark background and light filtering through the tree made for a bright, fall spectacle. It’s a fall version of a Christmas tree!

Peach Sunrise in Cold Spring

SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

Today was the annual Artists on Location paintout for Garrison Art Center. I drove down from upstate at 5:50am with two artist friends and we decided to spend the morning painting in the beautiful waterfront park in Cold Spring on Hudson. There was a pinky glow on the horizon suring the sunrise, and when I was about half way finished with the painting, some beautiful, wispy pink clouds moved into the scene just at the right time to pop them in. This photo was taken about a half hour before finishing it, so it’s pretty close to done here. We had to deliver the completed paintings to the Art Center by 2pm, and they were all auctioned off in a live auction at 5pm.

Visiting Thomas Cole

SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

I’ve been wanting to paint this view of the Thomas Cole house from the garden path for years! I had some friends visiting from out of town, so I finally got to do it while they took the house tour and strolled around the grounds. The flowers were so gorgeous, and the yellow exterior of the house glowed, even under the porch roof! That honey locust tree really is that huge; it’s 200 years old! There were a dozen on the property in Cole’s time, hence the name of the estate— Locust Grove.

Boscobel Glow with West Point

5×7″, Oils on canvas covered hardboard
SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

Today was Artist’s Day at Boscobel, and in spite of the exquisite weather, it was surprising that only about six other painters were there. The sun glistened on the facades of the buildings at West Point on the opposite hillside, and the glow of the sky reflected in the Hudson River. I’m sure going to miss this awesome weather in another six weeks or so!

For the past few days, I’ve been very attached to my little 5×7″ Guerrilla box. I just can’t let go of this thing! It goes everywhere with me, and I’m starting to enjoy this very small format again, especially since it’s a standard frame size.

Sailing-Past-Poets-Walk-12x16-450

It was a gorgeous day today, and even though I was finishing up this painting from a photo instead of on location, at least I got to do it out on the patio and enjoy the gorgeous weather! This is a scene from Poet’s Walk in Rhinebeck, New York, along the Hudson River. It’s very close to where Chelsea Clinton got married recently. The mountains on the other side of the river are the Catskills.

I enjoyed all the layers of color in this painting. They add so much depth, and it’s always a great challenge to keep so much warm color and contrast in reserve for the foreground as I work from back to front and push the distances.

Here is an image you can click on to see a slightly larger photo of the painting:
