<br /><b><br /> My Newest Painting: Very Different</b><br /><a href="https://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/christiane-kingsley/the-gaze-/671802">For more info</a><br />
"The Gaze" is a 12" x 16" varnished watercolour ( no glass required,
regular frame) with some powdered gold pigment. It is in my series of
Venetian sculptures, but I used a very different style to give it a
modern twist. It is inspired by a carving by the Venetian sculptor
Tullio Lombardo ( 1460-1532) and was painted on an1/8" Ampersand panel
from Texas. Eventually, I will make a cradle for it and frame it with a
floating frame ( no glass), but for the moment I want to offer it as is
for a lower shipping cost. I am interested in your reaction to this new
style....Christiane Kingsleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10550714224805511513noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579929279465590914.post-12874167949041956422017-08-06T11:39:00.000-04:002017-09-22T10:21:13.868-04:00Florence - Going to the Duomo"Florence - Going to the Duomo" original oil painting 18" x 24" x 1.5" from my own reference photo taken in Florence, Italy. <br />
I was really scared to attempt painting this scene, especially in oil,
but I am rather pleased with it. It brings back wonderful memories of my
trips to that beautiful city!<br />
I damaged my camera a few meters from that scene and the damaged lens currently blurs the top left of my photos.<br />
I am falling in love with oils. So far, the only thing I don't like about them is that I have to wait a while before I can varnish them.<br />

"Meditation" is a quiet abstract, as the title suggests. It is meant to calm and to bring quiet feelings of serenity.<br />

I had a "two-artist" show at the Green Door Restaurant in Ottawa. It is a large vegetarian restaurant that serves outstanding food ; it is extremely busy from opening to closing time. <br />

When he saw my last abstract, my son said: I like it, but you have to go big and bold!". Well, this painting is the largest abstract I have painted and if this is not bold, well...:-) "Energy" is 40" x 30" x 1.5" acrylic painting on canvas. Layers of paint create depth in this painting. From a distance, it
creates a strong impact. As you get closer, you discover more and more
subtleties to it. A painting to keep on discovering I think.</div>

This is a 30" x
30"x 1.5" acrylic abstract with a a few hints of gold metallic.Imagine
walking through a sunny spring garden....red tulips, yellow daffodils, a
hint of white, and sunshine everywhere! This is the world of this
painting full of joy. Something new to discover every day between the
stems...<br />
This painting has received a layer of varnish to protect it from sunlight and dust. It is already wired and ready to hang.<br />
I love painting abstracts. For my next one, I think I will try to go a bit bigger....

My latest watercolor, Autumn Magic, is
now beautifully, and professionally, framed in a nice black wood frame
that measures 27" x 33". You can see it here just propped on my
fireplace and then on the floor. I will bring it probably within two or three days to the <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard-prefer-more-content-show="1" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=555802957821591" href="https://www.facebook.com/KevinDoddsArtGallery/">Kevin Dodds Gallery & Studio</a> at 1101 Bank St.in Ottawa.. <span style="font-size: small;"><span>613 -286-8512</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Another artwork in my series of acrylic paintings with hand embossed pewter.<br /><br /><br />I
have been developing a series of artwork to celebrate the North using
pewter that I emboss free hand and sometimes acrylic gels and emulsions
to translate the ice and snow.<br /><br />This painting "Pacific Northwest
Salmon" is on a specially prepared 1" cradled board with many
layers of acrylic in the background. The embossing is hand done on top
quality pewter that contains absolutely no lead. The patterns embossed
on the fish are inspired by native pacific North West designs but are
all my own. Textured accents are in silver leaf.<br /><br />A beautiful
statement piece! It is wired and ready to hang. The edges are painted
black, but could be repainted white to go with those in the series that
have snow. The artwork has been varnished to protect the pewter and the
acrylic for years and years.<br /><br /><br />I can produce similar pieces
with kayaks, inukshuks, polar bears etc...in much larger sizes such as
24"e; x 24"e;. Please contact me if interested.<br /><br />Keywords: fish, salmon, native, water, pacific, North West, pewter, metal, north

<br />This is a large original
watercolor on heavy 300 lb Fabriano watercolor paper. I loved creating
depth and layers in the forest floor and painting the contrast of
colorful leaves against bark and stone.Autumn is my favorite season and
nowhere is it more beautiful than in the woods. Enjoy the calm and
beauty of the forest.<br />

Painting: Acrylic on Canvas</div>
The title of this vibrant abstract says it all! Exuberance! Exuberance expressed with colour, with movement, with energy and life.
I love painting abstracts: painting them gives me a feeling of freedom, of joy and of surprise. I don't get tired of looking at this finished artwork...there is always something new to discover and to respond to. <br />
<br />
I hope you will enjoy this painting as much as I do.
This painting is on canvas on an extra sturdy double wood stretchers that will prevent any warping. I have painted the edges black; the surface has received a light coat of varnish to protect it from dust; I have wired the back. The painting is ready to hang and enjoy.<br />
<br />
I hope 2017 has started very well for you.<br />
Let me know what you think of this painting.

Little Gems Collection-For Valentine's Day or any other day:-)<br /><br />I had fun creating this
6" x 6" x.1.6" whimsical, highly textured and affordable acrylic
painting. It is full of reflecting light and colors and has metallic
gold highlights. It is painted on a cradled birch panel. The intertwined
hearts were basically carved into acrylic gel layers. It has layers and
layers of color, of acrylic medium and is finished to a hard, shiny,
resin-like surface.<br />It has white painted sides and has a wire for hanging. It can be displayed either on the wall or on a shelf.

Another artwork in my "Polar Series" with hand embossed pewter. My last one for a while.</div>
A few years ago, I had the opportunity to visit Nunavut in the Canadian Arctic and fell in love with Inuit culture and art.<br /><br />I
have been developing a series of artwork to celebrate the North using
pewter that I emboss free hand and acrylic gels and emulsions to
translate the ice and snow.<br /><br />This painting "Polar Sentinel" is of
an Inukshuk on a specially prepared cradled panel; the pewter is top
quality and contains no lead. The word "Inukshuk" means "in the likeness
of a human" in the Inuit language. They are monuments made of unworked
stones that are used by the Inuit for communication and survival. <br /><br />A
beautiful statement piece! It is wired and ready to hang. The edges are
painted white to continue the idea of ice and snow landscape on the
sides of the painting.The artwork has been varnished to protect the
pewter and the acrylic for years and years.<br />Please note the flash reflection on the main photo...the pewter is hard to photograph.<br /><br />I
can produce similar pieces with kayaks, inukshuks, polar bears etc...in
much larger sizes such as 24" x 24" or larger.

<span style="font-size: large;">This original painting is on an 1/8" Ampersand Aquabord panel that I
love more all the time because of the vivid colors and very special
effects that can be achieved on it. In "Spring Beauty" I had a lot of
fun creating depth and using negative painting techniques to hint at
leaves in the background. I finished the painting with a varnish, then
glossy resin-like coating that increases the depth and the shine. These
miniatures do not need glass!!!<br />I like to display these little gems
on a mini easel which is readily available ; it is so easy to find a
special little corner for them on a shelf, a table, near a computer.
Naturally, they can also be inserted into a regular photo frame or a
painting frame.

<span style="font-size: large;">This original mixed media painting is painted on an ampersand panel
affixed to a 1.5 deep cradled birch surface. This means that it has deep
sides and is ready to hang or to display standing on its own on a shelf
or on a table.<br />It is painted with watercolor and gold leaf and was
sealed before a resin-like finish was applied to the surface to give an
almost glass-like finish which is very reflective and enhances the depth
and color of this beautiful painting.The finish adds greatly to the painting; it has just enough texture and irregularities to confirm that it was hand applied.<br />It is wired at the back, the sides have been painted black. It is ready to hang and enjoy by you or as gift by a special person.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">"Owen the Owl " is a 16" x 20" original painting on the
very archival surface 1/8" Aquabord panel made in Texas by Ampersand.
Owen is in watercolour on a faux gold leaf background that has a
reflective surface very similar to the very, very expensive 24 kt gold
genuine gold leaf. The painting is varnished and is ready to be inserted
in a standard frame. Since it is varnished and on aquabord, it is
framed without glass!<br />I had fun painting Owen as a colourful barn
owl. I added textured gold relief in the background and on the tree
stump. The gold background is guilded and not painted so there is some
slight texture and variation in reflection here and there automatically
in the gold leaf as it is applied.<br />Work is sold unframed and photo with frame is simply to give you an idea how it could look framed. The gold leaf is very hard to photograph since it reflects all the surrounding colors.<br />I
have been working with this gold leaf and the Ampersand surface for
several years and just love them both. My customers have always been
very happy with this collection.<br />Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. </span></div>

This is an original 12.25" x 10.5" watercolour on top quality Italian Fabriano Artistico watercolour
paper. It represents some of the gargoyles or chimeras on top of the
Notre - Dame Cathedral in Paris. From the top of the cathedral's towers
the stone creatures have had a magnificent view of the city for
centuries. To see them up close, you have to climb almost 400 steps.
The The staircase is narrow and the steps are fan-shaped, so skip the
climb if you're claustrophobic, wearing high heels or simply don't want
to die of exhaustion. I have managed that climb twice in my
life...easily when I was a University student and very painfully a few
years ago.<br />
<br />
This painting may remind you of such a climb...or may spare you one:-)<br />
<br />
This painting will need to be matted and framed

<span class="wsite-text wsite-headline-paragraph">The Green Door Restaurant is Ottawa's oldest and best known vegetarian restaurant<b>.</b><span style="color: #3f3f3f;"> Since
1988, they have specialized in high quality foods and baked goods made

<br />
The restaurant is open daily from 11 am to 9 pm except Mondays. It is situated at 198 Main St.<br />
I hope you will drop in to see my show. I will try to be there as often as I can.<br />
This summer, there is a lot of road construction in that neighbourhood. Please check the Green Door <a href="http://www.thegreendoor.ca/">restaurant website</a> for the best way to get there if you are traveling northbound. <br />

This one started with
one challenge: my son said he liked my previous painting, but that for his
place, he would prefer a white background instead of creamy yellow. So,
this is what I tried to do with this 30" x 30" acrylic painting on
deep gallery wrapped canvas. This painting is not intended for my son,
however, since he wants one 60" wide ..I thought I needed some practice before jumping to that size:-)<br />

Below is my third in a row and is my favorite so far I think. It is called "Play Time" and is an acrylic original on a 24" x 30" deep gallery wrapped canvas. Yellow has never been one of my colors, but the soft creamy yellow here corresponds to my desire to see Spring finally here.<br />

Don't ask me how I painted this...it evolved on its own, layer on top of layer...I hope you like it.<br />

This is unusual for me...but I will go with the flow:-)<br />
Here is the one I have just varnished...This is a photo taken with a flash last night, but you get the idea. The close-up shows some of the type of textures I created. The painting will be called "Urban Spirit" unless I can find something more inspiring. Any suggestions?<br />
The painting is 20" x 20" on a deep gallery wrapped canvas. I have painted the sides white.<br />
Let me know what you think...<br />

Background in gold leaf and giraffe is in watercolor. The entire painting is sealed and is to be displayed without glass...<br /> Some of you may have seen my large framed "Giraffe" currently at the <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=555802957821591" href="https://www.facebook.com/KevinDoddsArtGallery/">Kevin Dodds Gallery & Studio</a>.
I personally like it so much that I decided to paint a similar one in a
small size. Before I get it framed, I am offering this little
long-lashed sweetie online..<br />

ampersand panel is a most archival surface and I just love working on
it.<br />The gold leaf makes this artwork so special, but it is almost
impossible to photograph. When the sun shines on this piece, the gold
leaf produces a simply stunning effect. The giraffe herself has such a
happy and gentle look that it brings a smile to my face.</span></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>

This original painting is part of my nest series, but this time, with a
twist: gold leaf is applied on some of the twigs of the nest and on some
branches...thus, the title "Golden Nest".<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I love all the symbolism of
the nest: family, home,safety, promises, future, hope, anticipation
etc....<br />
I consider this painting almost a semi-abstract. It is full of movement!<br />
I used one of my favorite surfaces, an 9" x 12" x 1/8" Ampersand Claybord panel that is ready to be inserted into a standard frame. Christiane Kingsleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10550714224805511513noreply@blogger.com4
