Diane Mannion: Roseate Spoonbills
http://dianemannionpaintings.blogspot.com/2015/05/roseate-spoonbills.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Roseate Spoonbills, 9x12" oil, Diane Mannion. Ding Darling, Sanibel. Finally got to see a flock of the elusive roseate spoonbills at Ding Darling, Sanibel! They flew off minutes after I arrived. My first sighting after living in Florida for over twenty years. Painted with the Peace River Painters, Lee County Plein Air Artists, and Suncoast Plein Air. My plein air study evolved into studio painting with major struggle:. Painting conditions were difficult, breezy with spotted cloud...

Diane Mannion: D E M O S
http://dianemannionpaintings.blogspot.com/p/alla-prima-demo.html
Photo of setup: EasyL paintbox on desktop, Ott Lite shining on still life. Background is foam core stuck together with tape. I wear a blue nitrile disposable glove on my left hand only. I hold my paint rag or paper towel in this hand and pull the paint off to clean brush. No mineral spirits or turpentine were used throughout. My mom asked for this demo. Thanks, Mom! 30 minutes: Underpainting (it's always an underpainting until I decide it's finished! While I'm painting, my mantra is: "Darker, lighter?

Diane Mannion: Following In Her Footsteps
http://dianemannionpaintings.blogspot.com/2015/06/following-in-her-footsteps.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Following In Her Footsteps. Following in her Footsteps, 16x20" oil, ©Diane Mannion. Was happy with the 8x10" study, so painted a larger version with more detail and polish. Although the small version is loose and spontaneous, I'm pleased with the more considered effect of the studio painting. Following in her Footsteps, study, 8x10" oil, ©Diane Mannion.

Diane Mannion: Boca Grande Pass
http://dianemannionpaintings.blogspot.com/2015/06/boca-grande-pass.html
Friday, June 26, 2015. Boca Grande Pass, 8x10" oil, ©Diane Mannion. Boca Grande Pass, world famous for tarpon fishing and HUMONGOUS sharks. While painting this, a manatee swam by. The huge shape and slow movement was distinct in the crystal clear water. Once kayaked around this point and was thrilled when one swam directly underneath. Almost July here and HOT! How amazing to see a Manatee in the flesh! I can feel the wind blowing through the grass in this painting - just beautiful! J D PIERCE GALLERY.

Diane Mannion: THEIR BOAT
http://dianemannionpaintings.blogspot.com/2015/08/their-boat.html
Monday, August 3, 2015. THEIR BOAT, 4x8" oil, plein air, ©Diane Mannion. Port Clyde, Maine. I was struck by the light on this red and blue boat sitting by an old, weather-beaten house in Port Clyde, Maine. The owners had passed away but would be pleased to know their boat and flower garden was an inspiration to many artists last week. This is one study of ten I painted during an artist's retreat gently guided by gracious host, mentor, friend and fabulous artist. Mary Erickson. Durinda Cheek, Fine Artist.

Diane Mannion: Tide Pool
http://dianemannionpaintings.blogspot.com/2015/07/tide-pool.html
Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Tide Pool, 9x12" oil, plein air, ©Diane Mannion. Caspersen Beach, Venice. Thought it would be a good idea to practice painting rocks for my trip to Maine later this month, and Venice rocks never disappoint. Rocks are not easy to find on Floridian beaches! This morning there was also a colorful addition of red-orange seaweed. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 30 Paintings, 30 Stories. 160; YES. Painful, . About Me.Click Bio Tab above.

Diane Mannion: Raspberry Picker
http://dianemannionpaintings.blogspot.com/2015/08/raspberry-picker.html
Friday, August 7, 2015. Raspberry Picker, 8x10" oil, ©Diane Mannion. Foggy and cool Maine morning. Painted by the Port Clyde Lighthouse. Loved the yellow daylillies, but a woman picking raspberries and wearing a red shirt walked into the scene and stole the show. This is the rough, as it was right off the easel. Allowed myself to fuss and fiddle later, letting my visual memory polish the painting. My setup and below, a couple of painting buddies. Wonderful artist and people magnet! J D PIERCE GALLERY.
