Hi and hello! I’m going to keep this brief, and mostly picture oriented, because we’re all such busy creatures. Contained in this here post, you’ll find the following: Notes about a couple shows I’ll have work in this month, the scoop on the latest Herbert the Owl painting I’ve completed An Art Auction at Live…
Well, hello there. Just a little update from my little corner of the world. I’m finally coming down a bit from the high of having sold seven of the eight seascapes I churned out for the show I had last month at 4th Street Fine Art (which is also where you can find my studio)….
I have this memory: I’m very young, maybe 3 or 4, and I’m in the ocean in my mom’s arms. The water is maybe chest-high on my mom. I’m not frightened, despite the churning, rushing bar of whitewash heading toward us. She tells me to take a deep breath and to hold on, and together,…
I’m really excited about the way this painting came out. Another from an Instagram shot. I tried to keep it pretty loose… I definitely have a tendency to fuss until I bludgeon every ounce of freshness from the painting. I’m happy to note that I didn’t do that here. I kept the values lighter than…
So this was a tricky painting. I’m not entirely sure that I feel like I pulled it off. I was driving up to go for a sunrise hike and saw the moon peeking over a hill – it was setting quickly. I barely managed to get this picture of it, but I wanted to try…
Yesterday I needed a bit of a break from the real world, so I shut myself in my studio in my pjs and pushed paint around all day. I’ll share the results over the next few days, but what resulted were 3 very different seascapes based on Instagram photos I’ve taken. A friend suggested I…
I started and finished this little painting last night. I got so wrapped up in the clouds that I didn’t realize it was 1am (way past my bedtime)! I snapped the source photo on a hike around the Bay. I can’t help by feel incredibly fortunate to be in such a beautiful place. I’m really…
This little painting morphed a number of times before arriving at it’s final finished state. Getting the glow of the mist/fog in the background was a bit of a trick – sometimes getting white to be bright is a challenge. Also, switching around with mediums is also a challenge. I’ve been working with oils in…
I’m going to try and paint a little painting every day. Nothing too complex, just something to keep my painting muscles a little workout. If you want to claim one for yourself, I’ll be listing them in my originals section. This little painting can be found here: http://maggiehurley.com/product-category/original-paintings/land-and-sea/
