Thursday News - New Art Awards from Impressionist Artist September McGee

"Streets of New York - Times Square November Rain on 47th Street"

Fabulous News!

This painting was accepted into the 

 Paint America top 100 National Exhibition!!

This is an oil painting on panel from my
Streets of New York Series.

The night was freezing, but electric and I stayed out

taking photo references until my hands froze to the

camera.  I was determined to capture the energy

of the city. How lucky I was to get the

carriage, the people, the umbrellas and the

feel of the night in this piece!

Notice the walk sign.  I stood in the

street until the cabbies were ready to

mow me over, but I got it!

Determination, hard word and

perseverance always pay off.

Creativity is all about sticking

with it, confidence and

loving what you do.

Wishing you all a creative Thursday

filled with art, laughter

and magic.

Blesssings,

"Couch Series - Bella"

This is one of my figurative paintings.

It is an oil on panel of a beautiful

woman who is a generous and

caring soul and always finds the

time to listen and advise.

We call each other bella

and beautiful does not

describe this wonderful

woman.

Mid week and today we all should:

Smile as often as often as we remember.

Laugh every chance we get.

Find time for someone special.

Do something special for someone

without them knowing.

Go enjoy some art.

Have a FUN Wednesday!

Do something you have never done!

Art Walk and Art Talk!

"Couch Series - Sharon"

This is an oil on linen of a beautiful

woman, Sharon.  She is not only

gorgeous but intelligent, sweet,

caring and fun to be around.

We had a great time during her

modeling session and I tried

to capture the essence of Sharon

in this painting. I do have a

penchant for rendering

figurative artwork.

Tonight is Art Walk in Laguna Beach, CA

and all the galleries are open for

visitors to come and view all the

art work.  If you can't come tonight

you can visit my

gallery by just clicking on

http://www.septembermcgee.com/

It's a great day for viewing and

enjoying art.  Take a few moments

and relax into some paintings.

It's good for the heart and soul.

Without art, our walls would be empty!

Mid Week Creations!

"Streets of New York - Times Square November Rain on 47th street"

This piece is one of my Rainy Day Series

from the Streets of New York. This is

an oil painting on panel

and is showing at the Cottage Gallery in Laguna Beach

It wa a cold rainy night and I was with camera

combing the streets at Times Square looking

for the right arrangement of people and

stores...and I found it. As you can

see the walk light is on which is when I grab

the opportunity to stand in the middle

of the street and take as many pics as

I can before the cabbies run me over!

This wa a very involved piece and took a while to

paint and I am very happy with the results.

Take time today to view some art, smile

and enjoy the middle of the week!

Honoring Beautiful Women in Paintings

"Couch Series - Champagne Thoughts"

Painting is a gift I am fortunate to have.

An even greater gift is the gift of friends.

And an even better gift is to combine

what I love to do with the people I

love to be with!

This is a painting of a beautiful woman,

 Elaine. She is a gifted writer

as well as a wonderful friend.

The painting is an oil on linen

done in impressionist style

and captures the essence of

a truly beautiful woman!

Our walls would be empty without art.

Our lives would be truly empty

without the gift of friends.

Hope your day is filled with

laughter, joy and

friends today!
