Hope by Ron Warford, 40' x 30 " Graphite on Black Board, Framed
Mr. Warford's work was selected by the Smithsonian Institution for a national traveling exhibition in 1973. He was one of the initial founding and teaching members at the Folk Art Gallery in Syracuse. His work spings from his imagination and is masterfully executed. Tel (315) 391-5115 for more info or to purchase. One of the presidents of a local art guild referred to Ron's work as "master works" for their power and quality.

Strength , by Ron Warford. 20 " X 30"

Home is Where the Hearth Is by Jaws. This piece took 600 hours. Amazingly, to produce this the artist had to put the snowflakes in first on a white fine piece of paper and then build everything around it. Think about it - this amazing work, and other pieces of the artists work can be seen at CNY Artists Gallery, which purchased this piece in 2013.

Going to the birds!!!

Here's a problem I hadn't realized. I recently created a collage and used a couple pigeon feathers I collected from my yard! As luck would have it a fellow artist pointed out that feathers can not be used in art if they are from "a migratory bird". After looking up the "feather" rules on line I found out most feathers can't be used except pigeon (yeah! I'm safe) except if questioned I would need to prove it( How do you do that? DNA Tests?).… Continue

Random Thoughts

Seductive color is the secret to some of the greatest works of art. Paintings that hold secrets using color can often be abstract or very realistic. When looking at a highly colored painting, search for the grays, they are seductive passages for heightened color to travel through, and…

Watercolors

I have been getting back into watercolors in preparation for my Intro to Watercolors class at the Y Arts Studio. Classes are pleasantly full, but still room for a few more people.

I'm really enjoying working with subtle layers of color; a big difference from my style with acrylic paint. …

Our universe exists within a singularity - an infinitesimally small dimensionless point. The Big Bang event, which is what we call the beginning of our universe, is the initial expansion of time and space and the existence of matter within the singularity.…

Artist To The Presidents

Since it is February and National Presidents Day is Feb. 21, it has made me think about the man behind the presidents. It is hard to think of George Washington without visualizing the famous portrait of him painted by Gilbert Stuart. In fact, Stuart painted each of the first six presidents (John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe and John Quincy Adams).

One of my childhood memories is stepping into any classroom at school and seeing a painting of George… Continue

An Italian Fountain Overflows With Inspiration

I love painting Italy and as an Italian painter, I have painted Italy over and over again, although I have to say

this was a unique painting for me to choose. I usually find myself painting

Italian seascapes and Italian landscapes. I seldom paint an object by itself. That is… Continue

Hamilton NY--My Kind Of Town

As many of you know, I live in Upstate New York, just 10 minutes from the small college town of Hamilton where the prestigious Colgate University is located on top of a scenic hillside. Since I can only paint static paintings of this charming town that I grew up in, I am posting a YouTube video link so you can take a tour of this special place.

Michelle Montroy - Artwork in watercolor and collage

I started doing artwork again after I broke my leg. During recovery I had a lot of free time. Mostly I gravitated to collages and later did a few watercolors. I LOVE color ( pinks, purples, blues) so that is in a lot of my art. I really have to learn more about the computer to add my picture and more artwork- hopefully soon.More later...
