Peace (Hebrew) Daily Painting #65

For purchasing information please visit http://www.GaylesPaintings.com

This is a 10" x 10" canvas painted with arylics and pouring medium. The background effect was created by using at least 10 layers of pouring medium and soft bodied acrylics, spread around with pallet knives as if it were plaster.

On top of the background is the word "Peace" in Hebrew. My friend Noora from Oman inspired this painting. This will end up being a series... peace paintings in Arabic, Japanese, Sanskrit will follow.

As I painted this in my live blogtv show, it created a lot of talk. Who knew a word such as "peace" could bring up so much hostility? ;) not everyone felt that way, but I did chuckle inside just how much many of us demand peace, but never in a million years realize the only way to achieve world peace is to start with yourself. Mother Teresa was once quoted saying, "You want world peace? Go home and love your family." I don't think it gets any better than that.

A Pugs World Daily Painting Number 64 by Gayle Etcheverry

This is an acrylic painting on a 12”x12” canvas and the subject is of a pug. I used brushes to paint the pug and then I used my pouring medium paints and pallet knives to create the background effect.

The pug has many different colors within it - blue, purple, red, green, pink, orange, yellow. Pretty much every single color is in this. He has a little red collar on too.

then the background was created with my pouring medium acrylic paints. You can see in some of my videos on youtube (from the blog tv show) how this came together.

This painting is of two koi fish swimming in a pond. It is an oil painting on an 8” x 10” canvas.

I’m a BIG fan of koi fish. I don’t know why but I just am a freak for them. I could probably sit and watch them swim for hours and hours. One day I will have a home with a koi fish pond (its on my vision board too;)

I made a new style of video for this painting, I’d love for you to watch it and let me know what you think. The link to the painting is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9WWKON3yWs

Cat Nap Daily Painting #62

This is an oil painting on a 6” x 8” canvas and the subject is of a sleeping cat.

A friend of mine (Named “Gitty”) from Holland from my BlogTV show shared this photograph with me of her cat, Binky. During the show, we were talking about her cat and she told us that someone poisoned him and he died as a result from it. All of us in the chat room were so sorry for her loss that I felt it would be nice to do a painting of him in honor of “Gitty”.

So my dear friend, Gitty - this is for you. I hope it brings joy to your heart after such a tragic loss. I cannot image what you went through.

This painting is not available for sale.

I did make a youtube video and it is available to watch at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoyvsAOG8B0

Barack Obama Daily Painting #59 by Gayle Etcheverry

Okay, last week I really wanted to paint this picture of Barack Obama in honor of the Inauguration. I was working on the SAG Awards show painting the set. So here he is.

If you look closely there are TONS of colors - light pink, hot pink, red, burgandy, purple, dark blue, light blue, green, lime green, yellow, orange just to name a few. The only places I used black are in the pupils and in the shading behind the collar of the jacket. Dark purples, blues, greens, reds and browns are in the coat. His shirt is pink, purple, blue and white.

This is an 8"x10" canvas and is painted in oils. Of course this is VERY WET and will not be ready to ship for a few weeks.

I decided on a split background, putting the red on the left side and the blue on the right side. If you know me at all.... I just like to put things upside down on their heads. There is a great quote by George Bernard Shaw, "You see things as they are and ask 'Why', but I see things that never were and ask, 'why not?'" - I guess that could explain who I am in a nutshell. Yeah I'm a nut, "Every great oak tree was once a nut that stood its ground!" ;)

There is a youtube video that will be uploaded later... go to http://www.youtube.com/GBHartists to see it.

Thanks for browsing and happy bidding!

Cheers!
