Magical Monday Musings with Artist September McGee

"Cafe Series - Brown Eyes"

This is a brand new piece! Just completed!

I had worked on this piece a while back and left it until now.

Many times a piece needs to sit before it is finalized.

This is a pastel painting on board of a lovely woman

who is a wonderful friend.  She has a sweet and endearing

demeanor and always has only kindness to offer everyone.

It was an honor to have her pose for me.  Her eyes tells

the story!

Wishing you a magical Monday!

Terrific Teusday Creations with American Impressionist Artist September McGee

 

"Under the Red Umbrella IV"

 It is suppose to rain today here in Laguna Beach, CA,

so I thought this painting would be

perfect for Terrific Teusday!

I just love the color red. It is such a fun

color to paint with and lends so much

vibrancy to the walls of your home.

I really enjoy the rain and I thoroughly

enjoy painting my Rainy Day series.

This is an oil on panel.

Have a Terrific Teusday!

Blessings

Monday Musings with American Impressionist Artist September McGee

"Streets of New York - El Miro Cafe II"

                                                    This is one of my
                                            favorite scenes in New York

and I captured it first on film,

then completed this oil on linen

painting with

impasto brush strokes and

an impressionist flavor.

Today is a great day to start

new and fun creative projects

and the best way to do that is

to get out and do it!

Change begins within and all the dreams

we have been harboring in our souls

need to find their way to fulfillment.

The best medicine we can give ourselves

is to be the best person we can be

in all things we do, whether they be

simple chores or huge dreams.

Be your best today and

always and go get your dreams...

they are waiting for you!

Monday Blessings!

Thankful Thursday, a day for gratitude with artist September McGee

Cafe Series - Ruby

This is an oil on panel of one of my

favorite models. I love the way the

eyes and mouth turned out and

the overall look of the piece

makes me happy to be an artist.

Even better, I met this amazing woman

who purchased this painting and it

was such an honor to get to know

her and learn about her creative

side, which is music, and

share creative moments together!

I am grateful to be an artist and

I am honored and grateful to get

to meet the wonderful people who

purchase and enjoy my art!

Blessings!

I love New York!

It's a city of electricity, fun, flavor

excitement and people...everywhere.

Blessings to you and

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!

"Ballet Series - Seated Ballerina #1"

This painting is a pastel on board

when we do, say nice things

to ourselves.  BE GRATEFUL

for the wonder we have in

our lives,

the love,

the fun,

the friends,

the freedom.

The world is always reflecting

back to us what we are

sending out.

Today,

send our gratitude,

laughter,

confidence,

a belief in yourself.

Love yourself.

Love life.

Be happy.

Have the most wonderful

day you have ever had!

"I too attended September McGee’s Gala Reception and have to say that there were so many gorgeous themes in September's array of paintings - many of my friends commented on the Street Car and also the orchestra paintings. I had too many favorites to choose just one as I'm a big fan of all of her amazing work. What a lovely night to be surrounded by such beauty and the fact that September’s energy is so warm and inviting."

Monday Musings and Reviews for Solo Exhibition for September McGee

Red Hat Series - Tulips and Chardonnay

This is an original oil custom framed

in gold on display now at

September McGee's

Solo Exhibition

at the

Cottage Gallery

1524 Coast Hwy.

Laguna Beach, CA

Exhibition closes

March 31st!

The Gala Reception

was standing room

only and the

following review

says it all!

“September McGee’s Solo Exhibition at the Cottage Gallery in Laguna Beach was a tremendous success. Sometimes a showing of a single artist’s work throughout one gallery can seem repetitious. Not this one. September’s wide variety of subjects, coupled with various techniques and medium, created an exhibit with great appeal and the feeling there were many artists competing for the collector’s attention. September has won over sixteen National Awards for her paintings and several were on display for this showing. The artist was available at her fabulous Gala Reception last Saturday to discuss her work and had the assemblage in awe.”
