Rooster Kitchen Art and ChicWrap

Rooster art always looks great in kitchens, don't you think?

I think it's because they are so colorful and cheerful.

Another thing that looks great in kitchens is a wonderful

new product called ChicWrap. It was created by some friends of mine

and even if they weren't my friends, I would be raving about it!

Not only does it come in six different beautiful, colorful box designs, 

but ALSO we never again have to struggle with those horrible 

boxes of store-bought cling wrap with the dangerous saw blades! 

ChicWrap has solved that! It's safe and easy to use! 

I purchased some for my mom, some for my daughter to use at her 

apartment, and some for myself, and I am hooked for life!! 

 Check out the ChicWrap blog to see the box designs and videos!

Cliffs at Big Sur, Plein Air Seascape Painting by Theresa Paden

Plein Air Seascape Painting

"Cliffs at Big Sur"

By Theresa Paden

7 x 5" 

Acrylic on canvas board

The mountains and ocean at Big Sur are stunningly beautiful. 

The cliffs have beautiful green grass growing on them 

and the sea is so blue!  By the time I finished this painting

I was pretty much frozen solid (for a southern Californian who isn't

used to the "cold").  I know those of you who live in truly 

cold weather are shaking your heads right now!

Across the street from our hotel in Cambria is Moonstone Beach. 

Here are some photos of an otter who was lying on his back in the water, busily 

cracking open clams on a rock that he had placed on his belly.

Plein Air Lighthouse Painting

"Lighthouse Near San Simeon"

By Theresa Paden

8x10"

Acrylic on canvas board

My husband and I just spent four wonderful days in Cambria, California, 

which is about a three hour drive from our home in Camarillo.  

I took some acrylic paint and some canvas boards with me and when I saw 

this lighthouse, I just had to paint it. I haven't done much plein air, 

and it was certainly a challenge with acrylics. I guess I attracted

 a lot of attention and people were pulling their cars over 

to the side of the road so they could watch. My husband was walking 

along the shore and snapped the photo below. It's so funny that 

several people, although I didn't realize it, were watching 

me paint and were taking photos! The lighthouse is just north of 

San Simeon (home of the Hearst Castle). The top part was damaged in an 

earthquake in 1948, and was then removed. 

You can read the interesting history of the lighthouse at this link

There are many, many elephant seals

 that live nearby and my husband got some great photos of them.

Enjoy the photos!

a weeping willow outside the window and our cat loves to watch

Native American Portrait Study 3 by Theresa Paden

Native American Portrait Study 3

By Theresa Paden

10 x 8"

Oil on canvas board
$200.00

Sold
to a collector near San Antonio

theresapaden@gmail.com

I'm having a lot of fun painting these small portrait studies.

I thought you might enjoy seeing this one progress from start to finish.

I started with orange on the canvas board. I didn't do a drawing first, 

 just started blocking in shapes loosely with a dark brown/purple. 

Then I used a light value and started blocking in the light areas.

Being a little more careful here as I indicated the brow ridge

and eye sockets/lids.

Used a dark value to define the eyes a little more and

also put some dark into the hair and neck area.

Added some strokes of a light value to define the forehead,

the area above the mouth, and the chin. 

Defined the nose a little more and filled in the cheek and jaw area. 

Also added highlights to the cheek bone.

Added highlights to the eyes, eye brows, 

and a few more highlights here and there. Almost done.

Here's a close up of the eye.
