CampbellJane's Profile

Bio

I live in Northern California right in the heart of Gold Country. My home is just miles from where apples are grown, wine is made & gold was first discovered. I was born in South Carolina & spent my early childhood there before moving to Japan , Arizona & finally California. I'm still a Southern girl at heart. My travels add to my varied taste in art. There isn't any style that I don't like! I love painting angels, mermaids & mermaid angels. My art is inspired by sweet things in my life, my loving family , my friends and sometimes by my goofy sense of humor. My life is filled with music, artful things & loving people. I have enjoyed painting for 37 yrs. I am basically self taught but have studied art on my own & taken classes. After losing my job in the mortgage industry I decided to devote myself to my art. In addition to my love for painting, I am a crafter. I learned to crochet at age 7. I was mesmerized by Japanese sparkly yarn! This was the beginning of a lifetime of crafting! I enjoy crochet, knitting, sewing, embroidery & other needlework, perfume making, cake decorating, wood crafts, clay work & decorative painting. So in addition to my paintings you never know what you might find here! I am a member of the Folk Art Society of America & Swell Sister Society, a new group of Sacramento women artists. **I'm also a member of the Etsy CAST Team My art has been sold all over the US and internationally. www.folkartbycampbelljane.blogspot.com www.alteredpages.blogspot.com TWEET! www.twitter.com/folkartjane

Female, Born on June 21 Critique- I must admit that I ignored the works of Campbell Jane when I first saw her works in the early stages of this blog's existence. But when I took a second hard look at her art works, I was astounded by the quality of her masterpieces. I was reminded of the great renaissance works of Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael. My favorite is her Brown Eyed Angel. It was love at first sight. I am always reminded of the Madonna works of the great masters by the sheer quality, color and vividness of her work. I highly recommend her art works to all art lovers and I would give her a very high rating of 9.5 in a scale of 1 to 10. She has a great fondness for angels and mermaids a testament to the creative spirit in her soul.

Jean Levert Hood- Great Artist and Photographer

Jean Levert Hood Texas Hill Country Painter

I paint with bold, clean strokes, thick with rich, sometimes surprising, colors that express what I see and feel when painting. My hope is that in the end I have engaged the emotions those who view my work.

I begin long before I pick up my brushes using design and composition principles to outline the work. I then paint with abandon and joy. The resulting work shows my personal application of impressionism with a minimalist quality.

Often inspiration comes from what I see walking on my ranch on the historically rich, brushy edge of the Texas Hill Country. Here daily, I encounter constant contrasts and variety in texture and color - the dichotomy of harmony and discord; lushness and barrenness; serenity and energy.

My challenge is to show the complexity of creation by painting intimate, personal portraits of nature. Whether choosing a landscape or still life, close observation reveals the ordinary as extraordinary.

Critique-

Jean Levert Hood describes best her artwork- they show her personal application of impressionism with minimalist quality. Her artworks can be considered extra ordinary for its tones, vibrant colors and creative spirit. She reaches out with her heart and soul each time she paints and it seems that she is always teeming with inspiration. Her range of subject is so diverse that it seems that she learned to commune with nature at its deepest level. Her impressionist paintings are incredible and brings to memory the masterpieces of the impressionist masters of the past like- Renoir, Monet, Cezanne and others. Truly her works are a delight to behold. I highly recommend her works of art which are still very affordable.

Pat O'Neill - Propagating The Art of Encaustic


Country - United Kingdom

Personal Profile - I love encaustic art or "playing" and painting with wax. This medium has a history that dates back some 2000 years although it is enjoying renewed popularity due to modern technology which allows the artist to use hot electrical tools to manipulate the molten wax. I have a book entitled My Encaustics- Art in the Wax which is available from http://blurb.com/user/store/onawhimsey. I also have a couple of soft back copies available in my Etsy shop http://onawhimsey.etsy.com

Encaustic art?

What is it?

The name encaustic comes from the Greek for ” burnt in ” …..

It is claimed that the art of encaustic wax painting is at least over 2000 years old and that it was practised by the Ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians. Since it has lasted, in some cases, over 2000 years it is considered a very durable form of Art. Around the world there are examples of portraits which have been painted on wood.

Examples of encaustic tomb portraits from Roman Egypt bear witness to the durability of the medium, which is thought to have been widely used in ancient times. Pliny describes the process in which hot liquid colors were applied to the wall by means of heated irons. It is believed that the waxes used to be heated in containers over a charcoal fire until molten and then applied to the wood with brushes or perhaps heated spatulas.

Nowadays, artists have the use of modern technology and thus are able to produce beautiful works of art with electric tools.

True encaustic painting is produced through a process in which the coloured wax is permanently ‘burned’ into an absorbant backing such as plaster, canvas or some woods. However, today, the technique of laying wax on a non absorbant support is generally regarded as encaustic art.

The amazing attribute of using the molten wax is that whenever the hot implement such as an iron touches it, the wax will melt and thus can be re-worked. So, you can alter the image until you are satisfied.

The waxes can be of many types. However, they are usually specially formulated to provide art quality colours in a safe non toxi form which is designed to be used when melted. This wax melts at 40 degrees Fahrenheit ot just over 60 degrees Centigrade. The most popular for the beginner is wax made into manageable blocks or sticks. Otherwise, wax can be melted, different pigments added according to requirements etc.

The main tool is the painting or encaustic iron. The base plate is used to smooth and texture the wax whilst the edge can be scraped or made to slide through the medium. Again, the tip of the iron can be used to draw in details. Encaustic art painting card is specially impregnated and enables the wax to slide around the surface without allowing too much absorbtion. The card resists heat damage and is tough and flexible.

Other tools can include an encaustic art stylus, scribing tools, hot air guns. Whatever comes to hand.

Other supports can be used creating different effects such as wood, fabric, plastic or metal.

It is an exciting medium which is not difficult master has limitless boundaries. Only the imagination can stop you!

Quoted From The Blog of Pat O'Neill

Critique

I must admit that this is the first time I heard of Encaustic art and I am very excited about it. It is a revolutionary way of artistic endeavor using molten wax to paint your desired subject. Although this has been used for over 2,000 years now, it is now widely propagated by Ms. Pat O'Neill with outstanding results. Her works are simply fantastic and have the quality and flair of works by the masters. It is to her genius that she can get carried away in molding the desired patterns and forms in her masterworks. The Aceo cards are also very recent forms of art that were used before in cigarette packs and baseball cards. All art connoisseur should take advantage of the very cheap prices of these artworks before they become widely accepted and their prices will rocket to sky high.

Maeve Wright Nottingham UK Hello and thank you for taking the time to visit my gallery. I hope you will enjoy viewing my work. Please feel free to contact me with any comments you may have about it. All the artworks are available for sale (unless it says the work has been sold in the description). If you wish to purchase my work, please visit my website or email me from the links at the top of the page All of my art work is dispatched unmounted and unframed Limited edition prints of my work are available. Please visit my shop at etsy. My artwork is inspired by realistic subjects which I then abstract or stylise. I particularly enjoy using buildings and plants. I may use photos or my drawings-often computer drawn ones- as a basis, but will then change the colours and add details from imagination or memory, or simply just use the latter to construct a picture. I love taking a quick glance at a scene and simplifying what is in reality very complicated, often by placing a mental "frame" around it -a skill etched on my memory from City and Guilds Embroidery courses. I also enjoy making fantasy artwork, again from my imagination or what is my idea of characters from myth, legend and stories. I work mainly in watercolour-paint and pencil, felt and gel pens, coloured pencils, inks. I sometimes add texture in the form of a magazine cutting, or other papers or threads/fabric etc. My cats enjoy my art and will help by drinking excess paint flavoured water, sitting on a painting to keep it warm, and grabbing my hand or brush to just make a mark where they see fit. I don't think anyone buying my work would want a subtle cat-hair texture however, so I carefully remove this before offering it for sale! I would like people to enjoy my art in the sense of seeing a different way of viewing things, and experiencing hopefully the atmosphere and mood that I'm trying to convey.

Critique -

Kristen Stein has one of the most remarkable artistic style that ranges from cubism to whimsies to expressionism. Her range of style is so wide that she can be truly noted for the genius of her works. The colors of her works are vividly depicted in flashing colors and innate expression of her feelings and moods. Truly she reaches out from the depths of her heart and soul every time she makes her wonderful masterpieces. The results are nothing short of superb masterful art works that can truly be equated with the masters. I strongly recommend her works which can brighten the mood of any private art gallery. Her deep attachment for her child shows the warmth and expression of love of this remarkable woman.

Critique -

Never have I seen such a proliferation of talented and upcoming artists that are spread all over the blog world. I owe this awareness of mine to the numerous friends and fellow artists of Pat O'Neill and Diane Clancy. Now, here is one of the best among the new crops of upcoming artists- Katherine Ladd who goes by the blog name of Heronkate. Her artworks are simply astounding just like the works of Pat and Diane. These ladies started out with just a passion for expressing themselves and they end up churning out one masterpiece after another. Heronkate's works are visually appealing for she combines vividness of color and expressions. There is an inherent joy in her works just like her photo where she celebrates life with gusto. There is no message of pain or hurt in her works but just the masterful colors imbibe in her consciousness by her Creator. I highly recommend her works to would be art collectors and hobbyists. Her works are worth their weight in gold.
