Red Gothic Barn.

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post

There is a wonderful Gothic-roofed red barn at my grandfather's farm. I've taken many photographs of it.

I painted this on a cool autumn day, setting up my easel and drawing board in front of the barn amidst some very annoying flies.

But it was still a lot of fun to paint.

Materials: Oil paint and oil pastel on heavy gesso-covered cotton rag paper
Size: 11" X 15"
Other: Shipped without frame or mat
Price: $65

Old Barns.

These are the same buildings as seen in this print, painted while outside in front of the buildings, during a smoky autumn day.

This was a bit of an experiment, using oil paint on gesso-covered paper. I found a lot of pleasure in pushing the paint around and worrying less about details as opposed to blocked areas of color or texture.

Materials: Oil paint and oil pastels on heavy cotton rag paper

This is a watercolor I did for the Hampden Centennial in 2004. I sold prints of it; the original is actually "owned" by my mother who insists on keeping it.

The image is based on an old photograph of the main street, circa 1904.

Materials: Watercolor on paper
Price: SOLD

Autumn Landscape.

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post

[image]

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

Labels: drawings, landscapes, nature, north dakota

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

Basilica Barn

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post

[image]

The lofty title of a basilica probably shouldn't go to a farm building that was used to house sheep, and then pigs, in its early years, but the building always reminded me exactly of the basilica floor plan.

Inside, the barn had three "aisles" made up of a main walk-way and side rows of stalls. The front didn't have the usual three doors of a basilica, but the back did. And the front, with its extended floor leve, reminded me of the grand entrances of those early chruches.

I use the past tense to describe this building because, sadly, the huge storm on June 19, 2005 brought the building that my grandfather grew up with to its knees, it's weathered gray wood and slight lean to the east unable to stand winds over 100 mph. Still, I've often drawn and painted it, more than any other farm building, so it is well documented and not soon forgotten.

Materials: Oil on canvas
Size: 1' x 2'
Price: Sold

Deck View

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 2 comments link this post

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.

Materials: Acrylic paint on paper
Size: 22" x 30"
Other: Painting is sold and shipped unframed, no mat.
Price: SOLD

Labels: abstract, landscapes, nature, north dakota, paintings, sold

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
