Online Paintings

Oil Painting Aarhus gallery is excited to exhibit the lively color Original Oil Painting work of the talented Blue Hill Oil Painting artist Heidi Daub September 2-21. The public is invited to an Fine art reproductions opening reception on Friday September 5th from 5-8pm.

With a personal vivid style and recognizable imagery, Heidi's modernistic landscapes play along the border of abstract and representational Original Oil painting.

"I am concerned with ordinary things and the extraordinary ways in which the ordinary shapes our lives. My Oil paintings and Fine art Paintings evolve from an introspection,... an awareness,... There is an aspiration to a holy moment so to speak. How we perceive and feel, the nebulous space between the physical reality of a given situation, person or place, and the perceptions we carry, the curiosity and non-linear ways of looking at time."

Heidi Daub graduated from Montserrat School of Visual Fine Art Reproductions, has lived and worked in Maine since 1984 and exhibited her Oil paintings on canvas widely throughout New England since 1987. Heidi is represented by oil painting galleries throughout New England and her work is housed nationally in many private Oil Painting collections.

In 2008, Heidi has inaugurated the Women of Maine Visionary Fine Arts Reproduction Award to support women involved in audio, visual or literary Fine Arts Paintings who exhibit outstanding commitment and are inspiring to others.

Bayview Gallery presents Of Land and Sea: Online Painting the Bold Coast - an exhibit of marine Online paintings in our Camden gallery, featuring the works of William R. Beebe, Vern Broe, Robert Spring and other gallery artists.

Marine artist William Beebe has been Online oil painting the coast for over 16 years, and he now dedicates himself to rendering the historical wooden schooners of the 19th and 20th centuries. An admirer of Impressionist Claude Monet and Frank W. Benson for their brushwork, palette and interplay of light, Beebe creatively uses layers of various colors to achieve depth in his images. A black hull may have Naples Yellow, Cobalt Blue, or Umber added to create light and dark or warm and cold areas. His crisp lines and detailed renderings bring vitality to his maritime work along with a traditional realism honoring the excitement and joy of the nautical journey. His oils capture movement and place, celebrating the timeless grandeur of these majestic sailing vessels.

Vern Broe has painted the coast from several New England locations - Gloucester, Marblehead, and of course Maine. Versatile marine painter and former draftsman, Broe explores the contrasting qualities of light and dark and their various tones in his Original oil paintings. Water takes on an illusionary sense due to his skillful, delicate use of multiple washes of acrylic paint. Well-studied, keen lines define his vessels, giving them a subdued character against a receding, dream-like backdrop. He pays homage to the sailing and working crafts that grace the coastline.

Maine resident Robert Spring is well versed in portraying images in both oil and watercolors. Influenced by J.M.W. Turner, his oils are luminous and impressive, exhibiting an inventive palette that plays up the frequently subtle nature of his subject matter. Texture and color create a rhythmic energy, bringing new life to his seascapes. A sculptor as well, Robert's use of thick impasto suggests a tangible quality with his oils, texture and movement working in unison. His watercolors evoke a feeling of mystery, leaving the viewer to draw his own conclusions as to the outcome of the oil painting on canvas. A heightened sense of drama with no resolution contrasts with a momentary stillness and peace.

Paper marbling Oil Painting is a method of aqueous surface oil reproduction design, which can produce oil painting patterns similar to art reproduction marble or other stone, hence the name. The original oil painting patterns are the result of colors floated on either canvas painting plain water or an art reproduction viscous solution known as size, and then carefully the oil painting transferred to a piece of paper (or other surfaces such as fabric).

This oil painting on canvas decorative material has been used to cover a variety of oil painting surfaces for several centuries. It is often employed as a fine art painting writing surface for oil painting calligraphy, and especially book covers art reproductions and endpapers in book binding and stationery. Part of oil painting appeals is that each oil painting print is a unique monoprint.
