But every now and then, I just have to bust out of my work space and venture into new territory- either outside in nature, or throwing paint at the canvas just for fun. Here are a few pieces that I did just for the fun of it, and they're available through my studio, so they're discounted from my regular work!</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtDBOilMghm84Kpwd3k9PJGwTLjMuu8VP5-bg3GVJ6phjdrsoHzUy_LnUFVqe5Od235mheiPwYKLQ6nxB49-ItGEKgJugHYFxejgh4Qf5bBuXSxQxvHOKnMiZVtC2v4rl3K63JR_XKaZINt9-VZhtR28UriYvOtleEk2hrkBOkYVV6TL8FKtwkrVHSJIo/s3299/IMG_4268.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3299" data-original-width="2760" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtDBOilMghm84Kpwd3k9PJGwTLjMuu8VP5-bg3GVJ6phjdrsoHzUy_LnUFVqe5Od235mheiPwYKLQ6nxB49-ItGEKgJugHYFxejgh4Qf5bBuXSxQxvHOKnMiZVtC2v4rl3K63JR_XKaZINt9-VZhtR28UriYvOtleEk2hrkBOkYVV6TL8FKtwkrVHSJIo/s320/IMG_4268.jpeg" width="268" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><b>"Cascade", 14" x 18", Oil on Canvas, $850</b></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><b><br /></b></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I thought I'd try my hand at a purely abstract painting, but couldn't resist adding some very realistically rendered roses on top of it.

The trail's edge is often chock full of wild flowers and tangled grasses that are a joy to paint. For this painting, I took a brush full of paint and swiped it across a textured panel, letting the drips become roots. I picked out the leaf and flower shapes when the paint was still wet, and then added a few bits of color at the very end. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Creating these paintings was like a breath of fresh air for my brain and for my spirit.

The headliner is that we've welcomed a brand new member of the family- Maya Jacobs, born August 27 to daughter Emily and her husband Doug. Nothing could prepare me for the tidal wave of happiness that comes with being a grandparent. Some of my excitement has found an outlet in creating paintings for her. Here are a few pieces that I painted for her nursery:<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg52AOk8IGCoQJ392AaENyWSNBZR2UDPpFChMDFboFEKiyUgu7NIKAKizq0xL4RajKFHR-i4PdYqiNjLIwmyEpr2RldtHhkUcpIBKiN0Ah0rOBS28hlVbu7L7KzTnU1YMboe6aC7QjNCO48ccAo0297ra5PSNBRv92hNRW3y6aY3b4GbXfrVij8JvMx=s3947" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3947" data-original-width="2878" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg52AOk8IGCoQJ392AaENyWSNBZR2UDPpFChMDFboFEKiyUgu7NIKAKizq0xL4RajKFHR-i4PdYqiNjLIwmyEpr2RldtHhkUcpIBKiN0Ah0rOBS28hlVbu7L7KzTnU1YMboe6aC7QjNCO48ccAo0297ra5PSNBRv92hNRW3y6aY3b4GbXfrVij8JvMx=w146-h200" width="146" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgS8-gWHmXLo9pvOc61WI7Pp3PznZlRGwxsZeoXidYGelibAfMYyHyfn_9xHJQorXyGLdnHtGpmswiP3xOI5st9rVZKoXqbM2ewSl1QXuQSBvodu8_O6LeoZot2WscPUErQ9XW_z1geyFhWEiqbNBETnyv9ZOj7_CUSVEW6p-PsTR7_BvQJDTZESDMI=s3139" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3139" data-original-width="2878" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgS8-gWHmXLo9pvOc61WI7Pp3PznZlRGwxsZeoXidYGelibAfMYyHyfn_9xHJQorXyGLdnHtGpmswiP3xOI5st9rVZKoXqbM2ewSl1QXuQSBvodu8_O6LeoZot2WscPUErQ9XW_z1geyFhWEiqbNBETnyv9ZOj7_CUSVEW6p-PsTR7_BvQJDTZESDMI=w183-h200" width="183" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhUwWP3KpgzqmNIarLPdJb80vfDLGcIFskfEwqITWCFq4Ibl-WR4DOlNlDRXTR-uEVdqXBD5terQbJ6WTYNxgE7Ds_SVEJgVNM3FGjOeRj1gdDsricoSDqY8l7qBWl3UAgheygxMzK86TSN3rgtA5uB4kCOfYbsOrEGi0mnDpqlA1nGIotYPEOQWY_B=s3987" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3987" data-original-width="2905" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhUwWP3KpgzqmNIarLPdJb80vfDLGcIFskfEwqITWCFq4Ibl-WR4DOlNlDRXTR-uEVdqXBD5terQbJ6WTYNxgE7Ds_SVEJgVNM3FGjOeRj1gdDsricoSDqY8l7qBWl3UAgheygxMzK86TSN3rgtA5uB4kCOfYbsOrEGi0mnDpqlA1nGIotYPEOQWY_B=w146-h200" width="146" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjppGG6nDNWbEYhBiVvdKUJQuBa6A_UTz62HRr5tFWTMLf8qI7Sm41tUl4fj9WOSClZKuGliCg9c6srQcejL5PpoCzet-hHoLtsJp0bmVv74dj5NT5L9iyeJI0LzJV-JSbBHGUInwMFXX4H2Mu366a6lxvYWOzJJDTIlLJvzxfrdskSLFK3QWAv7wkd=s3976" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3976" data-original-width="2934" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjppGG6nDNWbEYhBiVvdKUJQuBa6A_UTz62HRr5tFWTMLf8qI7Sm41tUl4fj9WOSClZKuGliCg9c6srQcejL5PpoCzet-hHoLtsJp0bmVv74dj5NT5L9iyeJI0LzJV-JSbBHGUInwMFXX4H2Mu366a6lxvYWOzJJDTIlLJvzxfrdskSLFK3QWAv7wkd=w148-h200" width="148" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Another new development on the family front is that we're now dividing our time between Denver and Steamboat Springs.

This year has tested my resolve to produce art and to continue creating; it's thrown many opportunities and obstacles my way. Here's how it all turned out:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Just over a year ago, I moved into a large studio space in Denver which allowed me to work bigger. This was not a gradual change- my canvases ranged from 3 feet square to 4 feet x 5 feet overnight. Seeing my work take up the majority of the space on a wall was thrilling and terrifying at the same time. I was used to presenting my work in smaller, quieter formats. Now, my paintings were seeming to shout from across the room: "Hey! Look at me!". This exposure made me feel a bit off balance.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My new space allowed me to continue working through the pandemic. I found new focus and a drive to work every day, 7 days a week for months on end. The silence and solitude encouraged me to dive deeper into new subjects. Some paintings came easily and almost painted themselves, while others required relentless reworking and angst for months on end (are you listening, "Skscapes"?). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I knew that these larger format paintings would not sell themselves. I needed help from galleries to promote them. Smaller paintings can be purchased from photos on the internet, but large investments should be seen and experienced in person. I started to reach out to galleries to tell them about what I was working on, and to generate interest in selling them when they were finished. To my relief, my galleries in the midwest and two new galleries in Colorado were interested in working with me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">By the end of July, I had amassed a very large stack of very large paintings. I had an exhibition in Saugatuck at the J Petter Galleries in August, so I stuffed my paintings into my SUV, and drove from Denver to Michigan, dropping off paintings along the way. Mary Williams in Boulder, The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, The Hildt Gallery in Chicago, and J Petter all took paintings for their walls.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After the journey, I was exhausted physically, and yes, emotionally as well. Would this new batch of paintings be received well? Will this year of work be worth the effort? I came back to my studio and its bare white walls, all my colorful paintings gone. If my paintings don't move, how would I find new energy to develop a new body of work? At this point, I questioned everything about my life in art. But I decided to wait and see.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To my utter shock, my phone started to ring a week or two later- galleries telling me that my paintings were selling- particularly my largest pieces that I was most uncertain about. My anxiety and exhaustion started to lift. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My studio walls are still empty. I need to dig deep now and find my creative self again. I hope to have new work to share with you again soon. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for following me and supporting me through this journey. It really does mean the world to me to know that you are out there.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To see my latest work, please visit my newly revamped website: <a href="https://www.annfeldmanartist.com"> Annfeldmanartist.com</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2WJJG5y8qn_lLk9y2XuOhBW0NG-cYE89YK7hbovG_bqVfr-7lvXoKdajwjqvR9qCOvDna-DhCj-vOVzQTdIDs0qpCngMX3kEX6o70B63BCKJxsENJ9PVJ554p-zzkrEmR3OzmdsynPFw/s2048/Ann+Feldman+sold+2.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2WJJG5y8qn_lLk9y2XuOhBW0NG-cYE89YK7hbovG_bqVfr-7lvXoKdajwjqvR9qCOvDna-DhCj-vOVzQTdIDs0qpCngMX3kEX6o70B63BCKJxsENJ9PVJ554p-zzkrEmR3OzmdsynPFw/s320/Ann+Feldman+sold+2.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxMgWnWJFj56TktXORaWUE7RM-uT2a6sny6ME8eTVuWtDGg-Ffl0tena0A1OJrirgnErTdnPWKdMExaBU4ycPv9rcuLxU_iuHZuBoBt-hAb3-x1komW9MY-lJAY2UYpri2lyyIO4jurQ8/s2048/Ann+Feldman+sold.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxMgWnWJFj56TktXORaWUE7RM-uT2a6sny6ME8eTVuWtDGg-Ffl0tena0A1OJrirgnErTdnPWKdMExaBU4ycPv9rcuLxU_iuHZuBoBt-hAb3-x1komW9MY-lJAY2UYpri2lyyIO4jurQ8/s320/Ann+Feldman+sold.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i>Sold work in 2021- An Astonishing Year</i></b></div><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Thank you for your interest in my art!

If you plan to attend, please drop me a line so I can look for you.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">As part of this Open Studio Event, I'll be offering some paintings for sale at greatly reduced prices. "Just Peachy" is part of this sale. This painting was framed in a rather formal frame, so I think it wasn't showing at its best.

I just got word that this rather ginormous painting has safely made it to the Petter Gallery in Saugatuck, Michigan. After I painted it, I took the canvas off of the stretcher bars, rolled it up, and trusted my friends at UPS to treat it kindly on its journey to Michigan. I always have an uneasy feeling when I send a painting off into the stratosphere, especially one that I spent about a month working on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It has arrived and been stretched and framed by my good friends at Petter. I can rest easy now and concentrate on the paintings in my studio yet to be launched!</div>

For me, I've been contemplating the beautiful, simple things that are usually right in front of me, and I feel grateful for the hours of quiet concentration they give me. Do you love peonies as much as I do? The way they catch the light, the subtle color shifts, and transparent petals keep me transfixed for hours.</div>

For this painting, I took a lovely old panel that I had gessoed thickly with a palette knife many months ago. I had started painting on it back then, but that painting never really got off the ground. A week ago, I took sand paper to it, and to my surprise, some lovely shapes and colors emerged from underneath! I very slowly built up the peony shapes on top of all this lovely found texture, and was careful not to completely cover up what was already happening.</div>

We're all looking for ways to run away without leaving home these days! For my son, it's sitting for hours, composing the perfect software code. For my friend, it's baking loaf after loaf of bread, in search of the perfect flour. What's your escape without leaving home?</div>

I love spring for many reasons- not the least of which is the first bloom of peonies. Today is Mother's Day in the U.S., and wherever you are, I hope that you're feeling some extra love today!</div>

How many weeks have we been under this "shelter in place" order? I've honestly lost track. I do know that it's necessary to find some means of escape- if only in my mind. I love going back through my photos and finding great memories, especially of the outdoors! As I painted this one, I thought about how the air felt that day (bracingly cold), and how the snow crunched underfoot.</div>

I have to admit that even in this very difficult and sometimes scary time, there have been some silver linings. Perhaps you've found a few too? I'd love to hear about them. John snapped this photo of me (I had no idea- look at that concentration!) on our pandemic walk in the neighborhood. Note the facemask and my Lockdown Locks of untouched hair! </div>

I feel very fortunate that I came through the Corona virus unscathed. My symptoms were mild enough to stay at home, but it was not a fun time! A lovely friend dropped some flowers at my doorstep, and they brought a smile every day while they lasted. I used them to inspire this tiny painting, and now they will live on! Please stay well my friends!</div>

My friends, I hope you are all staying safe and well during this pandemic. While we're staying close to home, my attention is turning to the objects that we see everyday, but are quite interesting in their own right. I painted this avocado quickly before it was plopped into our salad. </div>

Here is a piece I just finished for the Petter Gallery in Saugatuck, Michigan. I treated this painting as an abstract piece, playing with colorful fabrics and round objects until I found a composition that rang true. I painted it with this vertical orientation, and I liked the result enough to hang it outside my studio door when it was finished. </div>

Here's a reason I love working in a space with lots of creative people: Richard, an artist and new friend from across the hall, said, "Wait a minute, let's see what happens when we turn it on its side". </div>

Well, I'll be! I think I might prefer it with this horizontal orientation. Now I've got to figure out a way to sign this painting which will allow it to be hung either way! </div>

Do you have a preferred orientation for this piece? </div>

Sometimes, it's interesting to "peek under the hood" to see how a new painting is developed. Floral paintings especially can be full of complicated details that can force us to become overly tight and detail oriented when setting them up. My goal is to allow my flowers to appear energetic, as if a breeze is coming through the painting. To achieve this feeling, my layers underneath have to be loose and free flowing.</div>

Here's my first wash, on the first day of painting. Using Raw Umber mixed with Gamsol, I tone the board, then go in with a brush and more Raw Umber to put in the darker areas, and I use a cotton cloth to lift the lighter sections. At this point, I can see if I like the overall composition and the flow of the painting to be.</div>

I love to paint white things, especially flowers, and try to find all the hidden colors within. Many glazes of purple, green, and gold were used in this painting. In fact, I don't believe that there is a single passage in this one that is truly pure white, yet I think that the flowers read as white in the end. </div>

Beginning in December, I'll be moving to my new studio space in <a href="https://www.prismworkspaces.com/">Prism Workspaces</a>, here in Denver, and I couldn't be happier. This group of buildings is filled with artists and creatives who will inspire and motivate me. If you're in the Denver area this week, I hope you'll stop in to see the Open Studio Event this Friday. All the studios will be open, and there will be art for viewing and for sale. Here's the information:</div>

Thanks to the Internet, we stay in touch with friends and family with the click of a button. Our thoughts disappear into the Cloud, or wherever these things go when we're done reading them. I believe that we still need notecards, at least when we want to share something heartfelt and meaningful. Or when we want to give someone a gift they can't find just anywhere- a box of notecards can be the perfect thing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I've produced a new batch! Each box of 10 cards has two of each of the paintings you see below. Please send me an email if you'd like to purchase. Here's the price: 1 box: $23.00 plus $7.00 shipping and handling. 2 or more boxes: $23.00 per box, $10.00 shipping and handling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The cards just arrived from the printer, and they look great if I may say so! I hope you have many notecard-worthy moments this year!</div>

What a treat to visit the <a href="https://denverartmuseum.org/">Denver Art Museum</a> yesterday to see the Monet exhibit, "The Truth of Nature". It is a wonderful show, with room upon room filled with his plein air paintings and landscapes. The show begins with some caricatures he drew as a teenager, and continues all the way through to his abstracted water lily paintings from his garden in Giverney toward the end of his life.</div>

The exhibition guides pointed out that Monet became more interested in describing atmosphere rather than reality as he progressed through life. And it was interesting to note how frustrated he often became as he chased the light for his paintings. </div>
