One more note… to comment, just click on this icon (its located to the right of the title of the post):
Ahhh, this is one amazing painting. The light, depth… the wonderful dark areas that make the light areas just really stand out… stunning in every way. William Wray has the uncanny ability to take a subject, from super hero to bannister and make it one heck of a painting! Check out his work at WilliamWray.com – his Superhero series never fails to put a smile on my face. The urban landscapes are moody and incredible… the abstracts – WHOA! Check out all of his paintings, I truly believe this man can paint absolutely anything!
William Wray has lived in California most of his life and studied painting at the Art Students League in New York.
Making his living as a cartoonist who specialized in painted subjects, he spent many years coalescing a eclectic array of art styles, ultimately finding his voice in a contemporized reflection of traditional California regional painting that focus on humble subject matter rarely considered as fine art.
Wray blends traditional skill sets of realism and the sheer energy of abstract expressionism in an ongoing evolution to find the balance between two seemingly unrelated styles. Wray has challenged himself to create a brand of realistic expressionism he hopes to use a bridge into the customarily circumspect contemporary art world.

Lori Kiergaard. Wow… the way she can paint light in the darkness is incredible, she has a way that just makes it glow! I have a few more favorites… Train Station and Dinner at John’s, but you’re going to have to check out her website to see them ;) hard to pick just a few!
Wonderful work, a nice variety, the bar interiors with the reflected lights all over, really quite wonderful… wonderful city scenes and a few interiors as well! All are very nicely done!
Lori paints a wide variety of subject, from still life to cityscape, figures and one point perspective interiors and landscapes. Lately she has enjoyed working on a series of bar paintings. “I believe that people leave something of themselves on the things that they create, the things that they love and the things that they use. The ghost of a moment becoming ghosts of many moments. That is what I try to paint. You can see the way it thrills, when light falls on this ting or that, filling the moment with memories or hope”.
EDUCATION
Mostly self taught, I have had many teachers along the way. I have also studied next to some amazing and well known realist painters, my animator husband and one very special comic book artist. I had a lot to learn when I started painting, and still do. The best thing about being a painter is the opportunity to continue learning and growing for the rest of my life.

The Vendue will host a preview party open to the public on Friday, November 21, 2014 from 6-8 pm. Complimentary wine and light hors d’oeuvres will be served.
There will also be an exclusive, ticketed, art-centric dinner at 8:30PM in The Drawing Room Restaurant. There will be four courses paired with wine and a short talk given by one of the featured artists from the show. There is a total seating of 40 people. Make reservations via The Vendue and ask for Pietro Giardini, the General Manager, or email him pgiardini@thevendue.com.
The Vendue is the first and only hotel in Charleston dedicated to the arts – in all forms. Our goal is to inspire guests at every turn. The hotel’s public areas feature 2-3 different exhibits per year. At the end of each exhibit, the current art is removed and the hotel becomes a “blank canvas” for our curators (Robert and Megan Lange of Robert Lange Studios) to create the next exhibit. In addition, all corridors and our Gallery Rooms also feature a collection of original art.
But we just don’t display art. The Vendue is also home to Charleston’s only Artist in Residence Program. Our fully functional artist studio is found just off the lobby of 26 Vendue. Guests and visitors alike are invited and encourage to stop by the studio and meet our resident artist.
We also offer a full-time art docent that provides daily tours and is available to answer any questions about the exhibit or our art program. Our docents are also able to assist with purchases should you wish to acquire any piece within our collection.

The exhibition space at the Vendue, Charleston’s art hotel, had its inaugural event in June and since then has become an art hub within the city. In November the next show, titled “I See a Pattern”, will open. This show will be a visual candy land of ideas, sculptures and paintings with the aim of propelling creativity in Charleston using the theme of pattern. Over fifty artists from around the globe have been invited by Robert Lange Studios to display works. The massive five warehouse space, a cross between a hotel, museum, and gallery, provides the backdrop for the show.
Dynamic works will be presented from artists living locally, regionally, and around the world. In the request for submissions, artists were only given the name of the show and asked to provide their own interpretation of the theme. Robert Lange, co-curator of the exhibit with his wife Megan and owner of Robert Lange Studios said, “We could not be more pleased how much the art community has responded to the idea of an art hotel in Charleston. We announced the theme for this next show in August and received over 500 submissions.”
This show combines artists from a diverse range of artistic disciplines at differing levels of their careers. Of the over fifty artists selected for the show, including renowned painters Marco Battaglini, Victor Grasso, and Alan Jackson, many artists will be showing work in Charleston for the first time. “I stayed in the hotel just after its re-open and spent the whole trip imagining one of my paintings on the wall,” said painter Mathew Bober. “I was honored to be selected for this upcoming exhibit.”
Guests to the hotel have quickly found that there is always something new to discover with each revolving art exhibit. “Hotel guests have been truly inspired by the art that surrounds them and many have already committed to return once the next exhibit is installed,” said Pietro Giardini, The Vendue’s General Manager. He adds, “The combination of contemporary pieces of art with the architecture and charm of a hotel from the 1780s is what has created a completely unique experience for our guests.”
The Vendue will host a preview party open to the public on Friday, November 21, 2014 from 6-8 pm. Complimentary wine and light hors d’oeuvres will be served. Immediately following the preview, The Drawing Room Restaurant will also be offering an exclusive artsentric dinner following the current shows pattern theme. The dinner will begin at 8:30 and each of the 4 courses will be paired with wine and a short talk given by one of the featured artists from the exhibit.
I’m so excited to announce my very own domain… from now on, you don’t have to type in https://barbarastroud.wordpress.com – you have the option of entering www.artfoodhome.com and tada! It will take you right to my blog. However, if you’re used to entering the barbarstroud.wordpress.com it will redirect you, and you’ll end up at the same happy place! Woohoo, let the fun begin!
He Got Game by Scott Royston 26×22″ Oil/Linen
On another note… a little something extra to mention… tonight is the art walk in Charleston, SC – it should be a good one! Robert Lange Studios will be hosting the International Guild of Realism’s 9th Annual Exhibition. Up to 75 works! They will be on display from November 7-28, 2014! Opening reception is tonight!
International Guild of Realism’s 9th Annual Exhibition
Charleston will become the Realism art capital of the world from November 7 through November 28, 2014, when 68 international Realism artists showcase their latest masterpieces at Robert Lange Studios, voted Best Art Gallery in Charleston from 2010 to 2013. This represents one of the largest Realism shows ever displayed for this genre in the southeast.
“When an artist knows their work will be hanging along side some of the best realists in the country they tend to paint a little longer and add even more final touches than perhaps they normally would. The end result is a polished show where each painter has put their very best foot forward,” says Robert Lange, co-owner of Robert Lange Studios.
The exhibition is the International Guild of Realism’s ninth annual gallery show and will open with a gala reception Friday, November 7th from 5 – 8PM at the gallery’s historic location. Over 20 of the artists will be in attendance including artists from Sweden, Iceland, Canada and Norway, according to co-owner Megan Lange.
“Realism is having such a resurgence in the last twenty years. One can’t help but recognize and respect the staggering amount of hours required to create a technically exceptional realist painting. We’ve curated a show of traditional realist works, choosing paintings that demonstrate the artists undeniable technical skill first and foremost,” she added.
The show will have 73 juried paintings in categories including landscapes, still lifes, figurative art, photorealism and trompe l’oeil. The prices will range from $950 to $60,000. The works were juried into the show from over 350 IGOR member entries.
For more information, preview the artworks at www.RobertLangeStudios.com or call (843) 805-8052. The International Guild of Realism’s own website at www.RealismGuild.com features 340 worldwide artists.
For those of you who subscribe to this blog, you may notice there has been some technical difficulties this morning… while working on my blog it published (while set to publish 2015 to be safe that nothing would be sent out until I had it how I wanted it)… and it didn’t publish but it DID send an email to subscribers. I have reported this issue… Thanks for your patience!
Don Stone. Amazing artist. Gifted in his ability to paint what he truly loves. Most of the paintings that I am familiar with are paintings of Monhegan. They are just breathtaking. Setting on the Backside (above) is one of those paintings. This painting is available at his gallery in Exeter, NH. My husband and I have visited him at his studio on Monhegan several times and I cannot tell you what a treat it is to see work that is so very stunning. I can stand in his beautiful studio forever just looking at his paintings. If you ever get the chance… don’t miss it!
There is still time to catch Don’s show at Roux & Cyr International Fine Art Gallery – it should be hanging until November 25, 2014! If you’re in the Portland, Maine area, don’t miss it!
Internationally known modern impressionist painter, Don Stone, has been elected to full membership in the National Academy of Design, the American Watercolor Society (Dolphin Fellow), American Society of Marine Artists (Fellow), Salmagundi Club (Honorary Member), and the New England Watercolor Society (Lifetime Honorary Member).
In addition, Stone is a member of the Guild of Boston Artists, Allied Artists of America, the Hudson Valley Art Association, the Rockport Art Association (Lifetime Member), the North Shore Art Association and a number of smaller regional art associations with whom he has exhibited over the years. His work has been exhibited in various public museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Museum of Mobile, Alabama, and the Canton Art Institute, Canton, Ohio. He has won numerous awards, including two Greenshields Foundation Grants .and most recently First Prize in Juried Shows at both the Rockport Art Association and the North Shore Art Association.
Well, AUTUMN IS HERE, and with it comes Halloween! Happy Halloween to you!
I thought it only fitting to feature a painting with a pumpkin. Fred and I saw this painting by Lynne Drexler at the Lupine Gallery on Monhegan, Maine. We fell in love with it. It’s so different, with such vibrant colors. Lynne painted this back in 1989. Her paintings are quite amazing, as is her story…
Lynne Mapp Drexler was born in Newport News, Virginia in 1928. Drexler began her study of art as a child, painting landscapes by the tender age of eight. In the late 1950s, after attending the College of William and Mary in Virginia, she immersed herself in Abstract Expressionism, studying with Hans Hofmann in both his New York and Provincetown schools. From there she went on to graduate study at Hunter College in New York City with Robert Motherwell. In her early work Drexler focused on color and composition, eventually reconciling her two interests — landscape and abstraction — in her late work of the 1980s and ‘90s. But it was in the 1950s that she set her foundation—a synthesis of Post-Impressionist landscape painting and post-war painterly abstraction. The results are something not familiar to most students of the period and her crisp, colorful brushwork allows the artist to sing with a completely original voice.
In fact, classical music was an important part of her art. When she lived in New York she regularly attended concerts at Carnegie Hall where she would make sketches while she was in the audience. Her vibrant surfaces are both complex and painterly but with a flatness akin to something found in the background of a Gustav Klimt work.
A sea-change in her work began after marraiage to the painter John Hultberg, whom she met at a dance at the Artist’s Club. After they married in 1961 the couple began summering on remote Monhehgan Island off the Maine coast where she had the opportunity to work and sketch outdoors. Back in New York during the winter these sketchers were reimaginged into luxurious and colorful abstracted landscapes. Drexler’s affinity for nature became intimately intertwined into her work. The artist finally moved permanently to the island where she lived the last 16 years of her life, dying there in 1999.
Drexler exhibited extensively throughout her life at venues such as Tanager Gallery, Esther Robles Gallery and Westerly Gallery. In 2008 she was honored with solo shows at the Monhegan Museum and the Portland Museum of Art. Her work is part of the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Monhegan Museum, Farnsworth Museum, Brooklyn Museum and the Queens Museum, Greenville County Museum of Art and the Portland Museum of Art among others. Catalog is available.
St Marys Garden View by Scott W.Prior 24×36″ Oil/Canvas
Scott W. Prior. Life is full of happy surprises! One being Scott W. Prior! What amazing work! I recently contacted Scott to see if I could feature him and use an image… I did feature Scott Prior, BUT the wrong Scott Prior (ugh) – he sent me a nice message, and let me know there was another Scott Prior on the east coast (the one I featured). Ugh! When I went to Scott W. Prior’s website… WOOHOO… HAPPY SURPRISE! He is awesome! Scott’s paintings have a clear crispness to them. So nice! Scott Prior is clearly an artists name! Both are amazing!
St Marys Garden View (above) won Best in Show – 15th Annual Laguna Plein Air Painting Invitational (2013) – pretty amazing!
Gamblin Man by Scott W. Prior 8×16″ Oil/Canvas
I love great titles on paintings. You know, the creative ones that make you smile. This did just that. Gamblin, for those of you who aren’t artists, is a brand of paint. “Gamblin Man” is a brilliant title!
Scott W. Prior is an award winning oil painter and Southern California native. He received his BFA from The Academy of Art University in San Francisco, CA where he studied under the exceptional artists Craig Nelson, Bill Maughan and Hui Han Lui. During his time at the Academy of Art Scott established his skills in design, drawing and painting, giving him a solid foundation with which to develop his own unique, artistic style. Scott draws inspiration from the beauty in ordinary, everyday scenes.
Lynne Lockhart. Wow, she really understands animals. Her paintings are amazing, but I’m drawn to the animals, especially the dogs, they all have such personality. Just look at Coco above, I would think she is likely wanting something… a treat perhaps? I love that face and the orange in the shadow, brilliant!
Painting is a visual language and so is much of the language of animals. The quiet observation of the natural world, both wild and tame provides endless painting possibilities. No matter the subject, the application of paint to canvas is the easy part. Understanding anatomy, the nature of light and knowing your materials are only some of the variables one gets to juggle. However, the real challenge for me is the interpretation of what I see. That is the translation from subject to canvas. It is this translation through the artist that makes the difference in painters. Our facts may be the same but our truths are different.
Lynne Lockhart is a signature member of the Society of Animal Artists. She lives on Maryland’s Eastern Shore with 2 mutts and her husband, painter Kirk McBride. They all go exploring together.
Call Response by Sally Linder 2013, Oil on Drafting Film 36×43
Sally Linder. She paints fascinating subject matter. Sally’s subject matter makes you think. When you read her words and see her paintings you truly want to help the cause and help the world become a better place. Not just in the area where you live, but in all of the world… Sally travels far and wide and really knows about what she paints.
Sally is an amazing person as well as a deeply connected artist. Deeply connected in saving the world and making it a better place for all of us. We need more Sally’s in the world! This is just one of many wonderful paintings. Be sure to check out her website! This painting is in the “Approaching a Threshold Series”.
In Sally’s words:
Many of the legends of the polar north, as told by the Inuit elders, speak of the spirits of the great white bear and man as being interchangeable. For in the telling, when the polar bears enter their dens they shed their hides and become men, and only upon returning to the frigid outdoors do they don their furs once again.
Born in the United States, I was educated in the US and Canada. A strong foundation in drawing enables me to move seamlessly between representation and abstraction, determined by my subject’s desire to be recognized or left to the imagination. Inspired by Earth’s beauty and the social and political issues that confront humankind, each of my artistic endeavors has sprung from a deep commitment to Earth and all living beings. This love of life with its contrast and balance of agonies and ecstasies prompts both activism and playfulness in my work. The paintings chronicle a quest for a better and more conscience driven world and my passion becomes their purpose and content.
Painting in series provides the opportunity to be immersed in each subject’s distinct, emotive language conveyed through choice of color, form, and mark. Particularly in the more representational work, this immersion is linked to considerable research for each series involving historical, scientific and spiritual elements. It is from this deepening well that the layers of paint emerge on the canvas, paper or drafting film. The images that are inspired become symbols of a compassionate, participatory commitment to life. This vision provides us with the opportunity to turn around so that we may know who the others are and our connection to them. So evolves an intimate partnership between artist, subject, canvas, and viewer.
I have exhibited worldwide in Bangalore, India, Amsterdam, Netherlands, Jakarta, Indonesia, throughout the United States, Yaounde, Cameron, and Johannesburg, South Africa. I am the recipient of national and international awards including from the International Music and Art Foundation in Liechtenstein, the National Endowment for the Arts/Vermont Arts Council, the Philanthropic Collaborative in New York, and the Board of Governors’ Medal from Concordia University, Montreal, Canada. My work has appeared in Orion Magazine, Yes!, the National Geographic Magazine,Art New England, The Best of Acrylic Painting, and Femina Magazine. Speaking engagements have included the United Nations, the Earth Charter’s venues at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in South Africa, Brown University, the International Women’s Conference in Bangalore, India, Middlebury College, and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City.
Phiopedilum, “Nike”, on Chocolate Ground by John Matthew Moore Gouache on Paper 36 x 36″
John Matthew Moore. Stunning work. So intricate and detailed. Stunning and just so beautiful! Fred and I met Moore on Monhegan (Maine) many years – such a nice guy. (The group we meet on Monhegan every year has become a treasured tradition… one that we look forward to from the moment we step off the island… see you soon Jennifer, Hank, Ruth, Jimmie, Matthew, Frank, Sally & Bob… the list goes on and we add to it each year, I love that!). We’ve met many artists on Monhegan… I write their names down and when I get home so that I can check out their work… and when I ran across John work… W O W ! Stunning. Such intricate detail. Elegant and classy. Elaborate and well thought out. Each painting is a treat for your eyes! Check out John’s Facebook page for even more work as well as upcoming Designer Show Homes that his work is featured in!
Double Orchid by John Matthew Moore 36 x 54 – Private Commission
This double orchid is beyond gorgeous. Just look at the light in this piece – whew, takes my breath away! Such luscious greens, I have no idea how he does it! BUT, I’m glad he does!
Atlanta Designer Danielle Rollins did a spotlight feature about John and his work on her website – it’s a must read! Gorgeous paintings! Great write up!
John Matthew Moore is a botanical artist with a fresh approach to this well know genre. Moore’s medium of choice is the velvety, chalk enriched watercolour known as gouache, with which he excels in the mastery of colour and attention to detail. The opaque pigments of gouache enable Moore to achieve stunning effects ranging from light shining through petals to the deep, dark, rich tones of his red tulips.
Although the inspiration for his works is drawn from 17th and 18th century botanical and classical works of art, Moore’s own vision is evident. His paintings are larger than life, seeming to explode off of the page while maintaining their scientific integrity, resulting in a photo-realistic effect.
Moore’s paintings are displayed in many prominent international private and public collections due to representation in London, Beverly Hills, New York, Washington, DC, and Atlanta. In addition, his works have been placed in prestigious show homes including Southern Accents 2000 Capital Design House in Washington, DC (Barry Dixon, designer), the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s Design House, (Franya Waide, designer) and the 2008 Holiday Show House in New York City, (Kelly Proxmire, designer) to name a few.
Into the Distance by Shaun Downey – Available at Galerie de Bellefeville
Shaun Downey. An amazing artist from Canada. His paintings draw you in. Just look at the classy elegance of Into the Distance. I wonder what she’s looking at? Is she waiting for her date to arrive? Is that him far in the distance? I love possibilities… and stories, all told through a painting without saying a single word. Very. Cool. Check out more of Shaun’s work, I’m sure you’ll agree that it’s quite amazing!
As outside viewers, we find ourselves longing to understand who Shaun Downey’s subjects are. What their lives are like, and which chain of events led them to the exact moment the artist has captured. His meticulously rendered paintings call out to be understood, but we the viewer are left to make our own assumptions.
Shaun Downey strives to breathe fresh life into realist painting by combining classical ideals within the context of his own life and surroundings. His paintings have elements of decades past, but are firmly grounded in present day. Often painting his wife and friends within the confines of his home, we are allowed a voyeuristic glance into his world as he reveals his efforts to capture the fleeting beauty of modern life.
Terry Miura. Wow. Scrolling through paintings posted on Facebook by various artists I love it when a painting jumps out at me. And *POW* This one… jumped! Incredible in every way, including the title. This painting tells a story, which I love!
Without clearly seeing her face, you can feel that this woman is clearly having second thoughts about something? What could it be? Perhaps she shouldn’t meet that young man she was introduced to earlier like she told him she would? Maybe she should cancel her dessert order, the cheesecake sounded good, but can she live with herself if she eats it?? Should she have said YES to that job offer in a different state? Or should she just stay here where its comfortable? So many stories run through my mind! I love paintings that draw you in, make you think…
If you’re an artist looking for a workshop, Terry has several coming up, check them out! Also you might want to take a peek at Terry’s blog, full of great info!
Terry is one amazing artist, here is a bit about him from his website:
(b.1964) After graduating from Art Center College of Design in 1990, Terry Miura headed out to New York City to pay his dues. He began his career as a freelance illustrator, creating imagery for such clients as Time, Newsweek, Rollingstone, and Sports Illustrated, to name a few.
In between illustration assignments he painted and exhibited cityscapes, and continued his transition to becoming a full time painter after returning to the West Coast in 1996.
Miura’s evocative tonalist landscapes explore the relationship between memory, emotions, and identity. “Although they’re still very much representational,” says Miura, “they’re not about specific locations. Well, actually they are, but the locations are found in my and the viewer’s memories. Not out there in the physical world. “
With atmosphere, mood, and abstraction as driving characteristics of his work, Miura has, more recently been revisiting the complexities of the cityscape as a major part of his repertoire. Urban Aria, his latest solo exhibition at Thomas Reynolds Gallery in San Francisco, illustrates his mastery in this genre.
Emotion and abstraction carries over to his figurative works. It is in this genre that Miura finds most personal expression; “In painting the figure, I allow myself to get lost in the process and take more risks. Only by deconstructing the representational and the objective, am I able to tap into the more subconscious, intuitive voice which for me, is at once mysterious and authentic.”
His works are represented by The Christopher Hill Gallery in St. Helena and Healdsburg, Sloane Merrill Gallery in Boston, Thomas Reynolds Gallery in San Francisco, Anne Irwin Gallery in Atlanta, Sekula’s in Sacramento, and Holton Studio in Emeryville, Ca.
John Traynor. An American Impressionist with a style you can recognize from anywhere. It’s not easy to have such a distinct style, not when you consider how many artists there are in this world. To have the ability to have a clear style of painting is pretty cool! John’s paintings are timeless, they reflect a period of time (to me) that could be now, or could be long, long ago.
California Landscape by John Traynor 12×16
Stunning tree. I love the light in this piece – absolutely gorgeous!

Scott Prior. Amazing. Just look at how he captures these scenes. I think Scott takes his viewers to a place they truly want to be. A wonderful memory of a fire with friends and family on the beach at sunset, you can feel the warmth from the fire. I can hear the lull of the water and feel sand between my toes. I long for this scenario… I love it!
House on the Beach by Scott Prior – 24 x 20″ Oil
Another fabulous scene… I feel like maybe I rented this place for a few weeks, the owners left the lights on for me… I’m walking up the sandy walkway with all my bags, ready for a few weeks of AHHHHHHH, relaxation and fires on the beach. Scott’s work is quite amazing. All of it makes me happy!
Scott Prior lives and works in Northampton, Massachusetts, where he has been a resident since 1971. Born in Exeter, New Hampshire, he received a BFA in printmaking from the University of Massachusetts in 1971.

Isn’t this a fabulous painting by Roy Germon? Well, if you’re in the Portland, Maine area, stop by Greenhut Galleries and check it out in person! This is one of the new pieces in the gallery and I love it!
The sky and horizon is just amazing, I think this painting is so interesting without being detailed. Very nice!
