Magic Man

Every Friday brings an opportunity for Arnica Grace to paint a person from life. Austin Visual Arts Association studios are a great place to make works on the spot. Painting together with other life painting enthusiasts makes for a friendly and fun work environment. Notable Austin heavy hitters Phillip Wade, Eve Larson, and Johnnie Sielbeck also paint in Arnica’s Friday crew.

The model brings their own clothing and in this case, props. Highly unusual to have a man in a kilt holding a crystal ball show up to be painted. What a nice change of pace!

Call the artist to arrange for purchase of this 11 x 14 image.

This happy pelican let me get so close to him that I could just about count his tail feathers! I love seeing wildlife on the coast. A great memory of the ocean just waiting to be taken home. Prints available for sale at the Port Aransas Art Center beginning August 1st!

Before the Dance

oil on canvas 18″ x 24″

A larger work, suitable as a centerpiece in a big area, this painting by Arnica Grace is filled with golden light.

Using a golden toned canvas, Arnica has evoked a sense of peace and a connection to the past. The Dutch master Rembrandt used this type of background to help make paintings glow. When drawing from history, it is always best to stand on the shoulders of giants. Many of Rembrandt’s pupils also used this golden ocher yellow as a foundation for a glowing work of art.

This large work ships rolled up in a shipping tube, to be unrolled and framed at the purchaser’s convenience.
