Painted in a class with a talented, gifted artist and instructor Gretchen Lopez http://gretchenlopezart.com/ at the Sedona Art Center http://www.sedonaartscenter.com/ . The Masters would do a value painting and then go over it with glazes of color. A traditional method many oil painters today implement.

Daily PaintWorks http://www.dailypaintworks.com/Challenges is an open forum where artist are given a new challenge weekly. The week of 05.21.11 the challenge was Value http://www.dailypaintworks.com/Challenge/76971AF9-D076-41d4-93B5-26A408C9E2d9. This late in the game and artist are welcomed to submit.

Lessons

We all learn something everyday, and sometimes we have to learn it more than once. Yesterday I did a painting from a photo of a friend Maddie. With the models permission - not the photographers. So it came down.

Changes

I have been away from my studio as I readied my town house for sale, and then visited California and Texas.



Recently the Universe blessed me with an abundance of choices. After careful consideration I made a choice.

I have lived in Prescott, AZ for six years now and I have made many new friends. I am sorry to leave them, and know with todays technology they will always be within reach and in my heart. I have decided to move to San Antonio, Texas with my fiance Todd Lund. We will be moving the first week of August.

Until my life is once again settled my painting and posting will be sporadic.

Thank you to the women in my life who gave me the courage, support and tools to make this very difficult decision.

Heart Hugs,

Teresa - aka Tess

The rounded body style of this car reminded me of back in the day. Living and growing up in the San Fernando Valley, CA. The place to be on Wednesday night was Van Nuys Blvd. And boy did I have fun.

Substrate - Arches 300 lb cold press
Artist – Teresa Beyer

This painting is filled with mystery for me. If I knew what kind of flower it is I would be able to give it perhaps an appropriate Title.

When I went to the nursery for an afternoon of photographing flowers, I was careful to record and list each flower photographed. The trick was to keep the list in my little notebook for future reference. Instead I tore out the two pages and put them in a safe place for future reference. Next time I will name the photographed flower that is in my computer file when I download.

SO - I am inviting you to come up with a title for this piece – name this painting, anything that seems fitting to you.



Also the weekend of May 7th and 8th Mothers Day Weekend, I will be participating in 25th Prescott Fine Art and Wine Festival. In the Court House Square. I will be in booth 77 near the Gazebo. Hope to see you there. Mountain Artist Guild is sponsoring this event with artist coming from all over the state to participate. With wine and food tasting from some of the top wineries and restaurants also participating. A great way to spend the day this Mothers Day Weekend.

The Zippo Challenge

This week’s challenge is The Zippo Challenge

The challenge was to use a limited palette using Burnt Sienna, Ultramarine Blue and White. The white of the paper is what is used for white when painting in watercolor.

To look at a photo of a Zippo lighter, reminded me of my dad, the smell and sound of the cigarette lighting ritual.

It’s getting late in the week and late in the day so I just thought I would knock out a little painting. Recycling paintings that were not successful, I tear them up to use the back as a color swatch or a small painting (thumbnail). If framed I wasn’t sure if I would matt it because of the size – SO I taped off the perimeter. And I wanted to share the deckled edge that all of my paintings on paper have.

Happy Painting,
