Midnight in the Garden ~ New Painting

Alison — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 19:21:18 +0000

I’ve finished this latest oil on canvas work, and it is a work that depicts a deconstruction of the night sky through the branches. It expresses also the energy I feel when I take time to gaze, to stop and to wonder. This painting is part of my PixelNation series.

I just love it when clients send photographs of my works hanging in their new homes…

Anatomy of A Memory ~ New Painting

Alison — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:31:30 +0000

We remember in such indistinct, fluid ways, driven by a desire to relate a personal narrative of experience and belief. Only certain objects in each memory interests us, and it is colored by time. When we store our digital memories on our computers, they also pass through many filters, translations, until they bear only a [...]

copied from Egon Schiele's portrait of his wife, around 1920-ish. Just so hard to capture that strangely tender look of being a bit insane that he manages to portray in his painting.

Behind the Screen ~ Step-by-Step iPad Drawings

Alison — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 20:27:01 +0000

I am going to be uploading several of my iPad drawings recorded step-by-step using the Brushes app. I hope you enjoy seeing the process of creation ~ As a guide, I try not to take more than 30 minutes, as these are supposed to be a fun, non-thematic ‘diary’ of my visual day, until I [...]

Finished work, and Sneak Peek

Alison — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:28:03 +0000

Anatomy of a Memory ~ A Work in Progress Origins This painting was created with many many layers of translucent oil paint (glazes), over a base layer painting. Some of the underlying layers were so lovely that I had to be pretty bullish to cover them over, but I did, and I am glad I [...]

Richard Diebenkorn at MoMA, Fort Worth

Alison — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 18:45:35 +0000

To bring in the New Year, I was lucky enough to take a trip with family to the Museum of Modern Art in Fort Worth, Texas. It was featuring the Ocean Park series by Diebenkorn, along with some sketches on paper (apparently, he rarely sketched his works in advance), as well as a small exhibit [...]

Play Away ~ Creativity is Child’s Play

Alison — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:49:26 +0000

I am working on ideas for a new series of monotypes and drawings, based around words – words as part of an artwork. Isolated words can have a lot of impact and have of course been used fully already in art, to a lesser or greater effect. These works will be new to me, and I [...]

Twilight – Work in Progress Shot

This large oil on canvas is absorbing me over the Thanksgiving weekend, as I hope to bring it to a finish in time for my solo show at the Aloft in Dallas, presented by Ro2 Art. The reception is Friday December 2nd, from around 7pm. Come join me and see the finished painting along with [...]

Impressionable Minds

Alison — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 15:45:52 +0000

It was rainy, dark and windy last night in Texas, the raindrops striking the ground and walls in unexpected, unpredictible rhythms. As I sketched the North Wind for my iPad “drawing a day” project, I tried to draw this weather; or rather, my feelings about it, and my imagination of it. As usual, there were [...]
