This week I am featuring Oklahoma artist Jonelle T McCoy.
I absolutely LOVE her horses...and you will too...I will post new Jonelle T McCoy paintings each day for the next three days..so be sure to check back...
'Jonelle McCoy, the artist and creator of the beautiful paintings on McCoy's Gaited Horse Artworks, grew up in Upstate New York where her innate talent to create was evidenced at an early age. She states that her love of animals has always existed, and that they are the main focus of her drawings and paintings. As a child, she even made her own patterns for stuffed animals she sewed. It was her Hungarian great grandfather from whom she inherited her artistic inclination. In her words, ' I thank my great granddaddy for passing on the artistic genes to me; he is my guardian angel. His plain gray easel, spotted with his past smears, dots of painting, and little holes from pinning his reference materials to it is what I use; it makes me feel close to him. I still have some of his brushes, well-used, worn-out nubs that they are. One of my prized possessions is his pencil self- portrait. His favorite story told over and over when we visited him was about Van Gogh.'

This week I am featuring Texas artist THERESA BAYER.
I have fallen completely in love with her work..and cannot wait to own a piece.
Her work makes me long for the innocence of childhood, and at the same time..stirs me to "believe" in the impossible.....even now!!
Her paintings are "Whimsical, Imaginative and Lyrical".......
"I’m a full time artist who paints whimsical fun art and imaginative realism in acrylics.
Imaginative realism calls for both a wild imagination and for skill in rendering realism. Figure drawing, plein air, and painting studios are a great way to get a fix on realism, and so is daily sketching. Then it’s time to combine the real with the imaginary, which calls for loads of doodling around to get ideas going and put them into a composition.
Travels to Guam, Japan, Mexico, Ukraine, Poland, and California have all contributed to the databanks of my creativity. I live in Austin, Texas and am happy to say that Austin has many fascinating people, places, and things that inspire artists." Theresa Bayer
I will post more of Theresa's work tomorrow, but if you just can't wait that long...

I usually feature other artists work here, and will again very soon....but today I am posting an autobiography I just finished reading on Kaffe Fassett...One of my goals for this year is to ALWAYS be reading a biography or autobiography of someone who inspires me...preferably in a creative way. I designed a line of clothing and accessories for years...before giving it up to pursue painting fulltime...my favorite items and best sellers were my one of a kind accessories....crocheted scarves, beaded handbags, hats, wraps, and lap blankets....I have been itching to get back into textiles...I LOVE fabric and yarn...and after reading this wonderful book.....I ordered a boatload of YARN....can't wait for it to arrive. Kaffe Fassett is a very interesting man/artist and his story is ultra inspiring...he NEVER gave up...and boy did he succeed....

California artist Mark Adam Webster is my current Featured Artist. Click HERE to visit his website. I will post a new "Webster" painting each day this week, so be sure to check back.
"I wanted to convey the depth of motion of the human figure, landscape, or still life both active and at rest. The result became a form of sculptural abstract imagery of not only the subject itself, but rather the time and space that it occupies in a single moment, or several single moments reducing the form into less complicated shapes. After several drafts I begin developing areas to gain the effect of either greater tension or greater flow. This combined with an edge on edge effect is what gives my work a dimensional depth. The result is a juxtaposition of organic and artificial forms giving my work a sculptural presence."

"I am inspired by the light and color in my environment: the western outdoors.my home and garden,and travels near and far. I am fortunate to have found my passion early in life, and to have lived in a home where art was present and encouraged. My love of art through teaching and painting, has been a part of me always."

July24th,
Colorado artist Carol Hein has been a great inspiration to me this year.
She had a major surgery on her right hand (her painting hand) which is to require about a year of recovery. Many would have thrown down the paintbrush, thoroughly discouraged, but Carol decided to use this time to challenge herself as an artist. She decided to explore the world of Abstract, which is very brave of a traditional representational painter. She began painting abstracts with her left hand, and I LOVE them!!
Below you will see one of my favorite traditional paintings of hers, as well as some of my favorite abstracts.
Carol's Abstracts
Love , Love, Love this piece below....

This week I'd like to know how the smell of Fall in the air inspires you in a way the other seasons do not. Please email me., and I will post your thoughts here along with a link to your blog!!
If you'd prefer to leave your thoughts here under COMMENTS, feel free to do that as well:)
Illinois Artist Gloria Zucaro Says:
"Fall is my favorite time of year. I suddenly think of soup and warm crusty bread. I have painted three Fall paintings already with pumpkins, sunflowers and a small one with a Halloween decoration of a pumpkin, cat, and crow. I love crows!"
Click HERE to visit Gloria's blog!!
Colorado Artist Saundra Lane Galloway Says:
"The smell of a fall day is so sharp and clear it always
inspires me to create my aspen collages.
The sharp contrast of the shadows to the white of the bark is just as
crisp as the air. Fall brings colors
that we don’t see other times of year, so being a colorist I am in “fall
heaven”.
