Happy Summer and it’s Two for Tuesday

It’s Summertime again…Y A Y !!! The Artist i.e. the husband will start back to work this week. He’s happy and so am I. Time to get back to my life as a homemaker and the #painterswife <3 …

Today I’m going to feature 2 of the Artist original oil painting’s. We have also been researching on how to market his original oil painting’s and have found a way to make prints of his original works which will make it much more affordable for you to own some of his beautius original oil painting’s…

The Artist

Today the 1st piece of artwork is his finished piece of an original by Vincent Van Gogh. The title of this piece is the Potatoe Eater’s…

The Potatoe Eater /Vincent Van Gogh

This was his latest piece that he worked on during this past Spring.

The 2nd featured oil painting for today is an original piece. I thought it was kind of creepy but it really feels like the title. The title for this painting is, “Pandemic.”

Pandemic

If you are interested in any of this artwork, you can leave me a msg. in the comments section of my blog.

I am in the process of getting our Instagram set up and you can also see more of his painting’s by clicking on the, “Elan Creations” widget on the right side of the blog.

Happy Summer everyone, let’s make it the best one ever <3 Blessings <3 .

For my next choice is a painting he did of a door. It’s a sweet door of cottage somewhere…

The Cottage Door

AtoZ Challenge/Letter

The Artist does really well when it comes to sketching & painting real people. Everyone he has ever recreated in his artwork, he brings that person alive with feeling albeit in a very subtle way…The 1st person is Winston (C)hurchill, a graphite sketch as his medium and the 2nd painting is an oil …

Winston Churchill
Winston Churchill/Oil Painting

These next two sketches are using a graphite medium and they are (C)owboy’s i.e. John Wayne…

The Shootist/John Bernard Books

True Grit/Rooster Cogburn

My final choice for today is a sketch he did in graphite for me personally and put it right in front on my desk where I would see it first thing every morning. It is a graphite sketch of Leonard Cohen who wrote and recorded the song, “Hallelujah.” He was a tortured artist who worked very hard to get this piece of music done. It has a fascinating back story. I hope you’ll take a minute and read about it. I promise you it will give a whole new meaning to this song and the person who wrote it !!!

Leonard Cohen/Hallelujah

This is one of my all time favorite songs !!!

I thought I would do a couple more of the Artist for the letter

Paintings b/c he just has so many very cool ones. It’s hard to choose…

Civil War
Connor/Connie 4th Son <3

He really is an amazing artist !!! You can check out more on our Amazon Handmade Acct, linked below…Happy Easter Saturday.

Happy Good Friday

AtoZ today is the letter

I have picked out 3 paintings for today’s post…I told you at the start I would have no trouble with finding an original painting for each letter in the AtoZ Challenge.

My first choice is the painting titled, “Boots” I really love this one because I see a passion in his work… He has always had an amazing work ethic and this painting has that certain feeling to it … He has always been an extremely hard worker, he just doesn‘t quit and quite frankly that is why he had me at, “Hello” <3 .

Boots

My second choice is one of the Artist’s favorite thing to paint and that is the Beach…I’m sure that is where his heart lives and breathes…

The Beach

The third choice for the letter “B” is going to be, “Boat”. I have named this boat, “The Tradewinds”…

The Tradewinds

As I revisit his paintings’s, I am reminded just what a talented artist he is <3 I hope you are enjoying his beautius artwork <3 Happy Friday, Happy Easter…

Remember you can check out his artwork for sale on the link below….Enjoy your weekend AtoZ blogger’s

Monday’s Masterpiece

I’m going topic off a bit. I usually concentrate on one of the Artist’s Masterpiece’s that he worked on over the weekend, but this weekend I took the Artist out for a treat. Actually it was his Christmas Present. For Christmas this past year I bought him tickets to Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit in Chicago.

It was amazing !!! Just take a look and see for yourself 🙂 Much better live !!!

I got to take a few souvenirs home with me so that too was kind of exciting !!!

Vincent Van Gough

I just had to put up some music with this too. One of my Favorite songs of all time…

The artist had a really great time and so did I. I even saw a lot of Vincent Van Gogh Painting’s that looked a little familiar…Definitely a very deep, complex man.

The Potato Eater’s
Sunflowers

Okay I’ll share one more…He’s been a very busy painter !!!

Okay just one more b/c this was definitely at the show !!!

Looking forward to AtoZ which starts in a couple of days…April 1st to be exact. I got worried that I didn’t have enough art to make it through the AtoZ…Well I have plenty of art and then some. Really looking forward to sharing it with you. Check back on Wednesday where I’l have a bio on the Artist 😉 (Husband) . He really is very talented !!!

March’s Masterpiece…

Good Tuesday morning blogging family <3 Hope everyone had a great weekend. Our Chicago Blackhawks split the games this weekend. Patrick Kane got his 400th goal so that was fun to watch. Still no Toews though… Wonder what’s up with the Captain.

My rose did not make it through the snowstorm 🙁 The other one didn’t do much better either..

This was before the snowstorm and what it looked like through January …I think some music would fit nicely here…

My Yellow Rose

The painter finished his Potatoe Eater’s/Vincent Van Gogh’s…It turned out really well don’t you think 😉 ….

The Potatoe Eater’s/Vincent Van Gogh

He now has been officially published in the February Edition of Inspirations/Illinois Arts Council Agency…Galena Center for the Arts <3 .

That’s all for today…Blessings <3

It’s Fri Y A Y

So happy for Friday…Getting my hair done today. Survived all that snow OMG 2″ people. Yes I know it’s going to be below zero with AHHH wind chills below zero. Hello this is Chicago. Put on a coat and a hat, maybe throw on a scarf and get over it. I’m not staying in. It’s sunny and beautiful albeit a little bit chilly in the Midwest. I need fresh air.

I also wanted to mention my side widget, “Elan Creations.” I put that up on my site yesterday and it took me forever, but I learned a lot. If you click on that you will see many of the Artist’s (my Husband’s)original artwork. It hasn’t been updated in awhile, but there are some beautiful pieces available. They are all for sale, prices are negotiable with or without framing. Below are a few of his recent painting’s…

I just had to add some music to this…Vincent, one of my favorite songs of all time. Here it is performed by Don Mclean.

October Apples

This is one of my favorites !!! I had it framed and it’s hanging in my kitchen <3 It can hang in your kitchen too. This is the Original, I have a print hanging in my home. The original’s are more expensive and I’m not really sure he even wants to sell them. The prints are very good though and you can’t really tell the difference unless you are a pro 😉

One last thing, he’s also has some of his work hanging in a gallery out in Galena, IL and his artwork is also published in a book….Here is the link for that publication. Happy Friday 😉

http://www.galenacenterforthearts.org/exhibits/virtual/2021/inspirations.aspx

His picture and painting’s are on the last page of the book, page 60 😉 Enjoy, so proud of him he’s an amazing artist !!!!!
