New Paintings from Pati Payne

Starting

I started "Around the Pond" and "Playing with Pumpkins" by drawing directly onto 300 lb cold press watercolor paper from photographs I took. 

 

 

 

"Around the Pond"

Then I used liquid acrylic paint to lock in my darks.

 

 

 

From there I used loose watercolor strokes to bring color and life to the paintings.

"Playing with Pumpkins"

 

 

Both paintings can be seen at the Renaissance Art Gallery in Huntington, WV.

Artists of the Renaissance Art Gallery had both a relaxing and successful weekend. Pati Payne got lots of complements on both her hand painted bookmarks and the cards she paints at the Renaissance Art Gallery. Laura Moul also had a great time interacting with fellow artist and the public.

Pati Payne

It seems we were just gearing up for this welcoming show, but now it is down to the last 6 gallery days of 3 Media, 3 States show. It has been a wonderful show, but now it is getting time to move onto our 11th Annual National Minaiture show.

Another look at the show is provided by a local On-line Newspaper, the Putnam Live site.

You can read the really nice article they posted here:

Pati, Linda and Laura did a super job of putting this show together. It is a great mix of ideas and representations. Comments from visitors have been very positive, with people really enjoying the different media.

There is still time to see all the wonderful works by these three artists. 3 Media, 3 State will hang until Oct 16th.

New Art Show a Success!



All three artists at the Reception, Laura Moul, Linda Harbison and Pati Payne

 Sunday's Opening reception for "3 Media, 3 States" was a big success. Many long time gallery friends as well as new visitors crowded the 2 rooms of the Renaissance Gallery enjoying both the art and fellowship in our Gallery. Linda Helgasson again hosted a beautiful reception.




Admiring Linda's work.



All three artists, Laura Moul, Linda Harbison and Pati Payne got the accolades they deserved while welcoming friends and family to The Renaissance Art Gallery. The artwork flowed from Laura’s landscape photography to Pati’s intimate watercolors through Linda’s “Camden Park” series. Linda sculptures added an interesting punch to the show.
