My Abstract Paintings Gallery

My All New 2009 Abstract Paintings Gallery will be going live within a few weeks as I am about to "ramp up" my schedule of output of abstract painting. Painting in the media of oils as many artists know, takes time for the finished works to dry, the results of these canvas originals can be dazzling to the eye as the oil medium is so three dimensional.

The New Range of Jewell's Fine Art will be for sale to the general public including many original abstract paintings which will demonstrate the power of abstract oil painting on canvases. The main media of oils, acrylics and oilbar will reflect years of study & practise resulting in the main oil paintings gallery.

The Artwork for sale will suit all tastes and will be themed into popular and original niches of interest. (autumn leaves, flower bursts, geometric abstraction, abstract expressionism, lyrical abstraction, etc). One of main aims will be to establish more sources of distribution, especially in my favourite city; New York. I have visited the old town & the village many times and have always been impressed by the extremely high quality of fine art on display within the modern art gallery displays.

Although I have my own distinctive & original "voice" I am always interested in other works of art by leading abstract artists such as Piet Mondrian, Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso & other 19th & 20th century (& 21st century!) artists & art movements. Generally speaking these are now classed under the modern contemporary art umbrella.

The Flow of my paint is producing a bouquet of colours, here in the United Kingdom we have left autumn & the rain behind, ...so hear comes the sun!

"The ZONE"

GETTING INTO "The ZONE"

In my weekly meeting with my fellow Artist Friend, Inspired words flowed from our conversation yesterday afternoon...
We discussed the experience that most artist have, almost a spiritual event, when one feels inspired and rewarded as the artistic talents are being exercised, We call it "The ZONE"
This is when we feel we are producing the best work we can at that moment in time.

Getting into "The ZONE"- How to do it with consistence:

1. We must prioritize the art first, any hobbies need to be seen as just that and shouldn't replace the creative artistic energies.

2. Sitting on your butt and working, that's how you get "IN" there, if you are in front of the canvas and putting in the hours, eventually you arrive at a point where the work is flowing.

3. A flow is a thing that hasn't got blockage.

4. Don't neglect your family, but make it hard to drop the brush (interruptions need to be controlled)

5. We need to plumb the depths, and create what we are meant to create.

6. Artistic gifting is a responsibility to be taken seriously.

7. Atmosphere can really help, inspiring music, energetic & pleasing surroundings, even the sense of smell (Fragrance Oil etc) can achieve an ambiance productive in the right kind of thinking.

8. Remember practise in the gifting only sharpens the talent and can only improve our work over time, we can also sharpen one another when we encourage excellence in each others work-
work your way INTO the zone TODAY!

50 Days Have Passed!

Its slipping through my hands like sand...TIME! 50 days ago I updated this blog but it seemed like yesterday. So much has happened, the progress of the new website continues and with the completion of STUDIO 3 I now have the Full Giclee setup.

This enables small and large format MUSEUM ARCHIVAL quality printers to supply the ever growing needs of the Ltd Edition Canvas and archival paper demands.

Also progressing is the SEO and IM (Internet marketing) websites I am developing to fully utilise the potential within the Internet /online art community that I serve. Happy Blessed times.

PS Its been raining now for neally all this time too! (Who Cares?)

"The Tangled Maze"

Inspration comes in many forms and this morning for many different reasons this piece of poetry by N. L. ZINZENDORF inspired me greatly.

"He leads us on through all the unquiet years;
Past all our dreamland hopes, and doubts and fears, He guides our steps, through all the tangled maze Of losses, sorrows, and o’er clouded days; We know His will is done.....
And still He leads us on."

The grip on Life and the BUZZ that I get from reading powerful encouragement nearly always motivates me through the day. And Today I put the finishing touches to my website sitemap... maybe i'll be painting by the weekend, I have so many Ideas for some eye-popping paintings. I also continue to build up my portfolio of images, the photo above is of the sunrise at 5.30am a few days ago from behind my art studio!
