Flowers in the Cream Can.

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post

This is one of my favorite watercolor paintings. The same subject can be seen here, but as an ink drawing instead.

The visual texture seen in the black cream can was from bits of grass that I brushed across the still-wet paint. I painted this sitting on the grass in the front yard.

Materials: Watercolor on heavy paper
Size: approx. 22" X 40"
Other: Shipped without frame or mat; let me chose print number from series
Price: $65

Labels: floral, mom, nature, watercolor

Autumn Landscape.

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post

After the fields are harvested, there comes a few weeks in fall where the sun seems to consistently fall across the gold wheat stubble just right. The trees are the only vertical thing happening out on those fields, with the horizon and the horizontal overpowering all else.

Everything seems on fire, except, maybe, the overcast sky.

Materials: Pastels on paper
Size: 8.5" X 16"
Other: Shipped without frame or mat, temporarily mounted on foam core with protective covering
Price: $40

Waterfall.

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post

[image]

Periodically, I use the excuse that I have paint drying on my palette that I need to use up as a way of letting myself just slap paint on the paper and see what happens.

This ended up looking like a waterfall.

I know I should have a much more artsy way of describing how it came to be, but no. That's pretty much it. I like it. That's good enough for me.

Materials: Acrylic painting
Size: 6" X 7"
Price: SOLD

Labels: abstract, nature, paintings

Canoe.

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post

[image]

This watercolor was done on site, with a slight rain starting somewhere towards the end. When you're outside and it starts to rain, you find that your style suddenly becomes much looser than before.

For a while, a friend let us use his canoe to traverse the sloughs and ponds that surround the farm. This is an image of that canoe.

The paper I used was a handmade, unbleached, heavy rag paper with a fairly rough, raw surface and edges.

Materials: Watercolor
Size: 6" X 10"
Price: SOLD

Labels: landscapes, nature, north dakota, ships, watercolor

Snow Trees.

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post

I love the soft, foggy days of winter when the snow cuts the trees into definite layers: foreground, middle ground, and background.

This is a fairly basic painting -- mainly an exploration of pattern and opaque wash techniques.

Materials: Acrylic paint on masonite
Size: approx. 15" X 30"
Price: SOLD

Labels: landscapes, nature, paintings, winter

Storm cloud 1.

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post

[image]

This painting is part of my growing fascination for the extremely vertical layout.

Storm clouds seem to hover low and parallel to the earth they are about to pummel, and I often see them depicted in such a horizontal fashion, particularly when show over plains. However, the clouds are really quite high, stretching up into the sky like a tower. I thought that a vertical presentation might be more fitting.

I find that when I take such a slender cross-section out of a landscape and strip it of reference points, a non-abstract subject becomes abstract. Clouds tend to be that way, especially.

I'm going to let you think about the title of this painting while following a little of Hemingway's advice in regards to telling you what I was doing here: You lose it if you talk about it.

What do you think this is about?

I don't want to take away your chance to think about it.

Foggy Trees

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post

[image]

Trips to the Pacific Northwest always bring up magical memories of towering pines and the misty fog that seems to rise up from the green carpeted floor of these pine forests.

Rather than trying to capture the effect of the ghostly haze and the trees that seemed to rise out of thin wisp of existance by using fussy brushwork or complex layers, I inked the trees out quickly with a sharpened stick. Then, using a combination of water and sponging techniques, I scrubbed a water gesso and some faint tints of watercolor into the negative spaces, letting the ink from the trees pool and spread as it needed to.

The result is subdued and uncomplicated depiction of the early morning sun trying to push its way through the fog and trees to its home at the top of the sky.

Deck View

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 2 comments link this post

[image]

My "outdoor" studio, which is the second floor deck just off my office and regular studio, is what allows me to use oil paints and other typically noxious smelling materials in my art. Since I am not able to work outside during the cold winter, you will find me only working in water-based media until the weather warms up again.

Since I spend so much time out on the deck, it was inevitable that I would try to capture the scenery from my favorite deck view. This painting is what I see, late-summer, when I look to the south. The cottonwood tree frames my view on the right, its rustling leaves keeping me company as I work on my projects. The slough and every-yellowing fields are beautiful, indeed. I think of it all as visual music to work by, the foundation for whatever I'm working on from my vantage point on the deck.

My goal with this painting was to not get lost in the detail, of which there was much, and instead capture the blocked-in colors I get a sense of out of the corner of my eye as I'm working. The cerulean sky, the rich green grass, the ochre fields of grain, the blues of the sloughs and gray ribbons of road all play a part in the final scene. These are, coincidently, colors I find myself constantly restocking in my own paint collection, colors I'm naturally drawn to including in paintings that have nothing to do with landscapes or similar subject matter.

It's funny what an outdoor studio can do in influencing an entire palette, and way of working.

Flower Garden

My mother enjoys flowers and her abundant flower gardens are a great source for my art. However, I do find myself bored with photo-realistic depictions of flowers. I much prefer to have a little fun with the color and look of the flowers.

Can you find the bee?

Oddly enough, we have a strange collection of creamery related items in our flower beds, from a couple of cream cans that hold flower pots to this creamer.

Roots

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post

[image]

On a week-long horseback trip to the mountains in Wyoming, I took many photographs of the nature surrounding the trail. One of these photos was of a large root clump, the tree having long fallen down with only an upturned section of roots remaining.

I wanted to capture the tangled sense of wildness through the use of a variety of materials, hoping that not only the final visual result would depcit the roots, but also that the foundations and the means of building up the painting would help in that goal, also.

The colors are rich, warm purples and oranges, with criss-crossing textures that become their own minature mountain valleys upon closer inspection. Though abstract in nature, the result is very warm and not confusing.

Materials: Charcoal, rice paper, acrylic paint and mediums, and gesso on BFK Rives paper

Forest

On a week-long horseback trip to the mountains in Wyoming, I took many photographs of the nature surrounding the trail. Many of these photos included the surrounding pine forest with both alive and dead trees.

I wanted to capture the prickly sense I got from the pine trees. The live ones obviously were prickly through their pine needles. But the dead trees, still standing with bare branches jutting out from the trunk, were visually prickly, almost like a view of a pine needle up close.

If you're in need of a truly original North Dakota product, and not wanting something made in a foreign country with the name of the state stamped across it, these cards should fit the bill.

I make them myself, right here in North Dakota. I guarentee it.

Images in the set include a prairie church in a night setting; a mallard duck next to a slender prairie pothole cattail; a goose winging its way across the sky with a farm house in the distance; a snowman; a moose and tree; and a fisherman enjoying on of North Dakota's many water resources. All images have a whimsical feel to them.

Each card is printed on cardstock.

Cardstock selections will vary according to availability, so please let me choose the cardstock. Cardstock used will be neutral, white or natural tones.

This set of six cards comes with envelopes, and each card is blank inside, leaving you plenty of room for a quick message to the recipient.

As always, you can increase the quantity in your shopping cart if you want to order more than one set of these great cards. Each order is printed to order, so please allow two weeks time from when you place your order to when it arrives at your door.

Materials: Six laser printed cards on heavy neutral-toned cardstock, hand-colored with watercolors, envelopes included
Size: Folded card is 4.25" x 5.5"
Price: $15

Labels: budget, nature, north dakota, stationery
