Nancy Medina

About Me

This is the account of life in an art studio in Flower Mound, Texas, where there resides one artist and three wrinkley faced, four-footed studio assistants. I am an award winning artist whose works are collected around the world. I try not to go 24 hours without creating something new and colorful. Stop by often. There is always something drying on the easel and I am constantly running out of wall space. My original landscapes, florals, architectural renderings and portraits are available in galleries in Texas and California, but can also be purchased directly through my Daily Painters Gallery. See more at my web site at www.nancymedina.com. Come by or send me an email at nancy@nancymedina.com! The pugs and I love visitors.

Nancy Medina artworks focus mainly on flowers and other beauties of nature. Her style is beautiful in its simplicity and the use of myriads of colors. Her works seem to have a life of their own speaking softly from within the canvas. Her artworks are a testament to the beauty of life and the exuberance of one's existence. The writer highly recommends her artworks to serious buyers of contemporary works of art.

ABOUT MY ART:

My art revolves around four elements: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water.

Earth is one of the four classical elements , which represents the realms of the cosmos wherein all things exist and whereof all things consist. The diversified landscapes along with their multitude of layers; colors , the components comprising it , the environment that swathes and enfolds it and the forces affecting it. This will be an extensive theme which I will portray through my Digital Abstract Art. I will begin with the "Hues Of Earth", wherein the Medley Of Hues begins to unfold.

Air is often seen as a universal power or pure substance. An element connected to the soul and the breath of life. The colors of Air are the colors of spring, bright sky blue, the white of wispy clouds and the yellow of the rising sun. It is also the gentle summer breeze and wind that can turn destructive. In my Graphic Designs the various colors and properties of air are depicted along with it's power to create and destroy life.

Fire is commonly associated with energy, assertiveness and passion. An active force that has passion to create and animate things. When on one hand it provides comfort on the other it's flames are capable of total destruction. Employing Digital techniques I will depict it's occurrence , it's containment , it's flickering and flashing into a blaze revealing it's supremacy.

Water is one of the most vital elements of life. Its occurrence, be it in the form of springs or oceans, rain, rivers or streams; its significance cannot be overlooked.
In my graphic designs I have projected its infinite vastness, motion and beauty, not forgetting how crucial it is for our very existence.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Digital Abstract Art most commonly refers to art created on a computer in digital form. It can be purely computer generated such as fractals, and algorithmic art or taken from another source such as scanned photographs or images drawn using vector graphics software. The Digital graphic designs that I have created so far have been constructed using mostly my original paintings of landscapes, to which I have incorporated digital imagery creating multilayer ed , textured abstract images. The hues and colors reflected are mostly the one's I originally started with, improvising on tones where needed. In some I have made use of scanned images and photographs pasting them to create custom effects and a more realistic picture pulsing with life. There are several advantages attached to Digital abstract art. Using high resolution high quality images can be printed. There are no concerns about the paint drying up or clean up. Errors made are easy to rectify and storage and inventory costs are eliminated. In short we can say that in employing digital techniques one can let imagination run wild producing effects which are often surprising.

When painting conventional art I use Acrylic paints which are made from pigment that has been suspended in an acrylic polymer emulsion. Extremely versatile, fast drying and can be used straight from the tube or thinned with water and used like watercolors. The amount of drying time can be altered with the aid of extenders or retarders making it possible to blend colors more easily. Once dried they are also highly resistant to water which helps protect and preserve the final piece.

ABOUT ME:

Seven years ago my nine year old daughter and I decided to brighten up our kitchen by adding a mural; she left soon after while I completed my first painting. The result sparked an unrecognized awareness and what commenced as a hobby soon developed into my passion. With the aid of Acrylics I enjoy capturing the vibrant hues found in landscapes and seascapes .

Digital Art is where I contour these thoughts to design abstract images; the results are often surprising more like exploring a whole new world shown through my blog "Medley of Hues" at http://sadiapaintings.blogspot.com/

Am blessed with a family who have always supported me in my pursuits. My special gratitude to both my parents who have been a great motivating factor in achieving those pursuits.


Critique-

Sadia Hussain's art is best described as digital abstract art. It is computer generated. Her art form is best described by herself in her explanation above.

About Me

My paintings mirror the joy and energy I feel when creating works of uninhibited color, movement and emotion. My mission is to make the viewer fall in love with my paintings by sharing my emotions, drawing them in and engulfing their experience with feeling, whether it’s bold, in-your-face, good will, exuberance and passion or a more subtle introspective mood. My technique is highly improvisational, painting off the top of my head with little or no plan in place, using only the emotion of the moment and the mental pictures from my life’s experience.. Many of my collectors fall in love with my work, because bold art reflects how they live their lives. They are successful, confident individuals with passionate, artistic, and outgoing personalities who know what they like and own it.

I consider myself a self-taught artist, obtaining a wealth of knowledge by osmosis from many talented, artistic family members, in addition to study and training on my own. I will be painting as long as I can hold a brush. It's a passion that will not be lost to retirement. I live with my husband in Canyon Country, California


Critique- The paintings of Nancy Eckels are mostly abstract modern in style with vibrant acrylic colors of diverse moods and expressions. The strokes are bold and expressive mirroring the deep sentiments and emotions of the painter. As she says, her style is improvisational and is dictated by her deep moods at the moment of the painting. The writer highly recommends her painting which are modestly priced.

Joan Yoshioka - Upcoming Contemporary Artist














































Joan Yoshioka

About Me

I'm an outdoor-lovin' optimist, biologist/botanist, and habitual creator of art-stuff. I believe that the key to our most fundamental and truest part of ourselves is found in nature and I constantly draw on it for inspiration.

Why does the taste of pennies remind you of losing a tooth?

Yuck! Why would you be tasting pennies!?!

Welcome!

This blog is my opportunity to share my daily paintings and drawings with family and friends locally and abroad. Graphite pencil is my medium of choice but am delving into watercolor, pen and ink, and colored pencils and am loving them all. ................................... New artwork is posted every day (well, almost every day) so I invite you to visit regularly and feel free to leave comments. It's always nice to get feedback. And feel free to subscribe to my daily posts, below. Thanks for visiting! Please come again!



Critique

The works of Joan Yoshioka were done because of her love and reverence for nature. Because of her work as biologist and botanist, she had been exposed to the beauty and wonders of nature which she vividly captured in her paintings and sketching. The colors of her works are so alive and vibrant and show so much promise. Her brushstrokes are firm and steady and she knows how to paint from the emotions of her heart and soul. She loves life as embodied in the myriads of colors of nature and she captures them in the canvas of her mind and paintings. You can see her works of arts in her own blog- Drawing on Nature.
