"Day Sailer" Bainbridge Island oil painting by Robin Weiss

"Day Sailer"   10x20 oil on panel  $950   
Available through the J G Gallery, Winslow WA
206-842-2063

 

I used a lot of pallet knife in the execution of this painting.  Things were not going good from the start but I just didn't want to give up on it. So I used the old trick of scraping the whole thing down and coming back the next day with a fresh eye. I was still thinking of washing it and starting over when I picked up the pallet knife and started noodling around. I didn't care if I ruined it or not. That seemed to do the trick. The painting started to come to life... Life is like that sometimes...  Cultivate the ability to adjust your attitude and expectations a little in uncomfortable situations and the joy may return.  =]

This painting will be a part of an all gallery artist group exhibition titled "Offshore" at the J G Gallery in Winslow on Bainbridge Island for the month of March. There will be an opening on Friday, March 6th during First Friday Art Walk. Hope you can Make it!!

"Winter Driftwood" plein air landscape painting by Robin Weiss

"Winter Driftwood"  9x18 oil on panel  $850

 

I came home with a plein air painting on my last trip out that I liked but the drawing was off in my opinion. Also it seemed chalky and washed out. I went right to the studio easel and painted this version from the plein air study and the photo which had quite a bit more contrast. Think I should try one more to see if I can split the difference....Painting is hard!!  But so rewarding when vision, eye and hand come together to create a painting with heart and soul.  I can't help but keep chasing it!

"Washington Coast at La Push" Seascape painting by Robin Weiss

"Washington Coast at La Push"  15x30 oil on canvas  $1400
Available through the Scott Milo Gallery  360-293-6938

 

When I was looking through my photos from a recent painting hike to Second Beach on the Washington Coast the design of shapes in a series of images taken on the edge of this tide pool really caught my eye! I  painted a small study and it was just as striking so I decided to take it larger and longer. 

The challenge for me in a painting like this is to attempt what might seem impossible. To paint the illusion of air between the viewer and the distant objects. In other words the atmospheric distance. You do it by carefully adjusting edges and color. Bluer and softer in the distance, warmer with more contrast as you move into the foreground.

See this painting in person along with many others at the Scott Milo Gallery in March.  Joining me as featured artist for this exhibition will be Rowen Carey, Lorna Libert, Bithia Bjurman, Donna Nevitt Radtke and Ron Radtke.
