Mid Week Musing with American Impressionist Artist September McGee

"Cafe Series - Lunch at the White House - The Gold Bracelet"

This is a brand new painting from a brand new series!
"Gold Bracelet" is an original oil on museum panel of a beautiful woman who posed for me at the White House Restaurant in Anaheim, CA.  The painting is created with a warm palette of color and loaded with fun impressionistic strokes. The model, donning her luncheon hat, is enjoying a glass of Chardonnary.  Her gold bracelets seem to sparkle in the light.

It was so much fun creating this painting of this gorgeous woman!  I enjoyed painting her sultry eyes and blonde hair and she was a wonderful model.

This painting is not yet shown on my website.  For further information please email me at: smcgeearts@aol.com

Blessings!

Monday Musings with American Impressionist September McGee

"At the Met Series - A Visit with Monet"

I love the Metropolitan Museum in
New York! It houses some of the most
amazing art work in the world!!!
This series - At the Met grew from
my many visits and watching 
people stand in front of masterpieces.
Each painting seems to draw in the
viewer and invites them to linger,
enjoy as they lose themselves in
the work of art.

This is an oil on Senso linen
of a woman having a visit with
Monet in his gallery at the Met.
She is a lovely woman and how
lucky am I she was wearing a red scarf
with a red purse!

May all your creations today
big and small
be full of the wonder and joy
of the unlimited potential
within you.

Happy Monday Blessings!

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

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!
