Near & Far

December 7, 2014 by alaskanraven

Near & Far is the title of my show hanging in Well Street Art Co. It is a collection of thirty paintings that represent my work over the past year.

The opening reception, Friday evening, December 5 was a fun celebration. Many paintings were purchased. They will be going to their new homes soon. I am very grateful to my patrons for their support. I am honored that my work brings them joy.

Near and Far are words with meanings that flow and change. Places that are near to the heart may be far from reach. Seasons change making the familiar unfamiliar. Brushstrokes of color bring a far away experience back to the present and make it alive. Distant memories are brought close again with reflections of light color and texture. Relive the moment.

Here are photos of a few of the paintings in the show while it was being hung. Take a “walk” through the gallery with me.

Evening stroll

May 15, 2014 by alaskanraven

Quackers was bored in Creamer’s Field Monday evening. He and his mate came over to the parking lot to see what was going on. They waddled around along the edge in the grass and then onto the concrete. I was worried they might get hit by a car, but no, they were careful and then waddled back to the field. They just wanted to go for an evening stroll.

Painting in watercolor today

Splashing and painting wildly, focused on Creamer’s Field.

I love walking in this field. The patterns of snow, dirt, blue sky, water and trees intrigue me.

Swan in Creamer’s Field

It was fun watching the swans in Creamer’s Field basking in the sunshine last night. The snow melt creates many ponds for them to enjoy.

What’s new on the easel?

April 9, 2014 by alaskanraven

I’ve been painting large full size sheets of Arches watercolor 300# CP paper. Luxurious thick paper that holds color and brushstroke beautifully. Throwing paint, splattering, letting the pigment fly and blend. Summer pictures of cranes. Lots of sunshine.

Shipment arrives

“Sterling, look at that!” “Look at what, Felix?” “That huge box. From Canada.” “Looks like the artist received another shipment of Kroma paint. Watch, she’ll spend the rest of the day arranging it in her studio. All those tubes of paint go in some sort of order.” “Paint? What is that?” “Paint is color. She […]

Edges are important

“Sterling, What is the artist doing now?” “What do you mean, Felix?” “She spends lots of time brushing paint on the sides of her painting. The edges. You know what I mean?” “She makes changes on it when she changes the front of the painting. The sides appear to be important to her.” “But why?” […]

more about Raven

I ventured to Alaska before there was an oil pipeline and fell in love with the gnarly spruce trees, intense weather and mountains I could touch. Very different from the landscape in St. Louis. I was looking for different. The spruce trees: those scraggy, wizened, lanky conifers danced onto the first page of my sketch […]
