Our River SOLD

SOLD

There has been a lot of talk here in Tulsa about making changes to our river. The Arkansas River runs right through our town. I think it is beautiful just the way it is and wanted to do a series of paintings of it before someone comes along and re directs the water and puts a bunch of high rises on a man made island in the middle. The size of this little painting is 5x7 and is on canvas board. You can purchase the painting for $75 now or bid on it on ebay this week beginning November 21. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!

Feel free to read it and then go to Jesse's web site to sample it and to top it all off...... buy one for your very own self either from Jesse's web site, from me, here by writing to artistswaygallery@yahoo.com or check out your local Borders Books and Music.

Tin Roof Art Show

Hey all you locals....
We are hosting another art show benefiting Brady Heights Neighborhood Association's Art Parkway Project. It is a great way to make a difference in your city and put a little cash in your pocket too. We are giving the artists 40% of their sales. So here's the plan.... I have the tin pieces at my house. They are ceiling tins that are squares inside of squares. Use your imagination and create something wonderful for this year's silent auction. The artists set the minimum bid and we have found that lower is better if you expect to sell and of course, quality work sells better than something just thrown together. You can paint on these, do mosaics, create a 3 D piece etc. Allow me to brag just a little.... The one I did for the last show sold for $500 so I will definately be at it again this year. Write me for a copy of the entry form and details... The event will be in November at Living Arts so write soon.

Margaret Aycock Paints the Still Life....New DVD



I have two instructional DVDs for sale. They are self produced and I am still learning the ropes so be gentle :-) The first is me painting the Bouguereau piece called L'Attente. It is a demonstration on how the masters painted using and underpainting, glazing and direct painting. It is about 2 1/2 hours long.


The second one is me demonstrating the process I usually use when I paint still life. It is also about 2 1/2 hours long. I have both paintings on ebay for sale as well as the DVDs. Of course you can aslo order them from me by emailing me through this blog and through pay pal. They are both $16. A bargain !!!
Both of them are a little peek into my wonderful adult class here in Tulsa.
Enjoy.

New Web Site for Tulsa Portrait Painters

I am a member of a longstanding portrait group in Tulsa. Years ago we met at the Philbrook Art Museum. When they started their several years of remodeling we moved to Whiteside Park where we paint portraits religiously once a week. I guess I shouldn't say " paint " portraits as the group is very diverse and is open to those who wish to sketch in pencil, charcoal, watercolor, pastel,acrylic and oil. We have yet to have a sculptor join us but that would be fun too. The group is always open to new artists joining. Prepare to pay the wopping $3 model fee and bring your own supplies. We meet at 11:15 on Tuesdays and we paint till 2:15. We use live models and paint from the same pose. We are open to and encourage our models to show up in an interesting outfit. Check out our new web site to see some samples of work at portraitpainterswest.com

painting lessons

Just a note for those of you who might be looking for painting lessons this year. I teach an ongoing class at Zieglers for beginners through advanced. I teach demonstration style which is the way I learned years worth of technique in a very short time. ( forget the 4 years of piddling around in art school ) Anyways..... I am open to having some teens join the class in the summer so give me a call or better yet, make contact through this site. You may wish to check out a new web site for the portrait group that I belong to at portraitpainterswest.com. You can also check out more of my paintings and those of other great regonal artists at midwest-fine-art.com blogtopsites.com/arts/
