noreply@blogger.com (Margaret Aycock) — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 15:04:00 +0000

I have a joint show with Courtney Lockhart, a ceramic artist opening on the second Friday of May. The show is entitled In Contemplation of the Sacred: Land, Air, Water. My pieces are landscapes in and around Cherokee County and Osage County in Oklahoma. I created a little booklet to go with the show featuring the written word by both my husband, Scott, ( an award winning poet ) and myself.

Another show is in Terra Rosa Gallery called Wait 5 Minutes. it will feature a couple of paintings... billowing clouds on the Osage Prairie and one of Travertine Creek in Chickasaw National Park, OK.

And last but not least I had a piece accepted in the new magazine, Okie Modern for their April issue.

My husband and I were just coming home from swimming up at Post Oak Lodge in the Osage county of Oklahoma and we’re at the top of the hill coming down into our neighborhood and decided to take a few photographs of the sun lighting up the clouds and a few of the buildings in Tulsa

Hardback landscape painting instructional book... hot off the presses!

noreply@blogger.com (Margaret Aycock) — Wed, 11 Dec 2024 17:43:00 +0000

I just finished revising a book that I wrote several years ago. I updated some of the instructions and added more photos and assignments. This is a hardback book. I also have my paperback, unrevised on Amazon as well. At some point, I will reformat the hardback to paperback so they will both be available. Keep an eye out on Jan 1 for the release of my revised hardback of the Still Life instructional book. To purchase from Amazon

Opening season Tulsa ballet

noreply@blogger.com (Margaret Aycock) — Thu, 05 Dec 2024 05:16:00 +0000

Years ago I was invited to observe during rehearsals for Tulsa ballet in order to take photographs, sketch or paint. I took multiple photographs and did several paintings all of which sold. I kept the last one and then got a phone call the other day.

It was a young woman who wanted to buy the painting as it showed up in her Facebook feed from about 12 years ago or longer. She told me that she was one of the ballet dancers in the painting and had just bought a new home.

When she came over to the house, she told me that the other two girls in the painting were her very best friends and that she was only the one who was still dancing.

I volunteer for a group in Tulsa and took a bunch of young women to see the ballet Dracula around a month ago. I asked her if she was in that Ballet and yes, she was! Needless to say this painting found the very best home.

Oklahoma skies

noreply@blogger.com (Margaret Aycock) — Fri, 25 Oct 2024 18:18:00 +0000

One thing Oklahoma does better than just about any other state is our skies. Since our horizon is often very low, we have a great view of the ever-changing skies, it’s one of my favorite subjects to paint. I might add that if anyone is interested in either of my how to books on, both painting the landscape and painting the still life, they are on Amazon, but they can also be ordered directly from me and I’ll pop them right in the mail and send them out to you.

The Land

noreply@blogger.com (Margaret Aycock) — Fri, 25 Oct 2024 18:15:00 +0000

For the last couple of years, I’ve been working on a series of paintings that originate as a plain air sketch in oil. Several years ago, we purchased some land about an hour drive from our house on a beautiful little river. We named the property, Golden Glenn, but we never call it that. We always just call it “the land.“ Anyway there’s nothing we like better than to take a couple of camp chairs in the fall and just sit in the woods by the river and watch it and listen to it flow. In the summer, we’re in the water, and in the winter, we’re walking the trails through the woods. There’s always something beautiful to paint. The trouble is I end up loving the little paintings too much to sell them although I have done so only with very close friends because I know they’re going to a good home :-) . On another note, I’m also in the process of revising and adding to my original how to book on oil painting the landscape. I was just going to revise it in order to make a hardback copy, but I added a bunch of photographs with assignments in the back, so I think I may revise all of them, the Paperback and the Kindle copies. Although if you order them through me I can send you the extra assignments via email. Of course you can also order them on Amazon as I don’t have the Kindle copy handy, only the paperback. The book has lots of color photographs and easy to understand instructions.

Old master, new spin

noreply@blogger.com (Margaret Aycock) — Thu, 04 Apr 2024 22:03:00 +0000

Several years ago, I used this cool painting and decided to put my own spin on it. I decided to put myself and my two best pals in it as we head to the beach. I have my friend carrying some of my art supplies. I’m the one with the bandanna on. And of course, when I put these in, they came out exactly backwards, so start at the bottom and work your way up
