Torrie Smiley, Original Works of Art

Welcome to the Gallery of Torrie Smiley , featuring original landscape and still life paintings using oil, acrylic, watercolor, and pastel. All art is original paintings. ***No prints***
Torrie Smiley, originally from West Texas, now residing and painting in the foothills of North Carolina.

I have been selling my Fine Art creations online since 2005. I have sold over 250 paintings throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia.

I paint because I have to....I sell my work through online venues to buy more paint!

My paintings are usually simple in composition with the goal to create something pleasing to the eye, that may make you smile. I am not into the deep, thought-provoking, controversial subjects. I am not ashamed to say I create wall art to compliment your home decor.

I try to keep my paintings affordable to the collectors on a budget who would like to have original artwork in their home.

Laura Dawson Glass

It is my pleasure to present to you the Artwork of this talented lady.




Laura Dawson Glass specializes in fused dichroic glass jewelry as well as other fused and stained glass designs.
A little bit about me: I've been an artist since forever. Over the years I've done a variety of art but GLASS has been my chosen medium for about 18 years now. First working with stained glass making panels and suncatchers I am now into bead making and fused glass. GLASS is my passion. It is my creative outlet and my main source of relaxation. I can't imagine not doing it.

Pendants of my TREE paintings

I wanted to show you a very talented lady who creates pendants of my Original art ,her photography and the artwork of other artists .

Bio
B.J. Antonik started experimenting and making clay pendants in the fall of 2005. Since then she has sold over 3,000 pendants to clients in the United States and all over the world...and her client base continues to grow. Currently working from her Studio in Pennsylvania, she creates pendants from the artwork of a dozen professional artists and creates custom designs for clients and artists alike. An artist in her own right, she creates works of art in pottery, stained glass, and photography.

Her true love, however, is clay. Working with Polymer Clay has opened a new field for allowing great pieces of art to be worn as "Original Art" Jewelry. "After viewing some beautiful art paintings online, I contacted KKC Bauder for permission to use her lovely paintings on my pendants. She graciously agreed. Thus the idea of "Original Wearable Art" was born. I have been so very fortunate to be working with so many absolutely incredible artists and professional photographers who have allowed me to create their art on my "WEARABLE ORIGINAL ART PENDANTS. "DESIGNS BY THE FOLLOWING ARTISTS--will only be found on pendants DESIGNED BY -- ANNA LEAH DESIGNS..

Jean Levert Hood

Jean is a very talented artist, whom I admire greatly.




I paint with bold, clean strokes, thick with rich, sometimes surprising, colors that express what I see and feel when painting. My hope is that in the end I have engaged the emotions of those who look at my work.

I begin long before I pick up my brushes using design and composition principles to outline the work. I then paint with abandon and joy. The resulting work shows my personal application of impressionism with a minimalist quality.

Often inspiration comes from what I see walking on my ranch on the historically rich, brushy edge of the Texas Hill Country. Here daily, I encounter constant contrasts and variety in texture and color - the dichotomy of harmony and discord; lushness and barrenness; serenity and energy.

My challenge is to show the complexity of creation by painting intimate, personal portraits of nature. Whether choosing a landscape or still life, close observation reveals the ordinary as extraordinary.

Art By Lynne Reichhart

I am drawn by light and shadow. Many of my paintings depict plays of light and interesting shadow contrasts that further enahnce the subject. I work in several mediums and love to paint many different subjects. Currently I create in acrylics, watercolor and colored pencils. I am drawn to imperfection in a subject rather than perfection. If there is a spot of rust - I will include it!

Professional Training
I am primarily self-taught, however, I continue to take classes at the Munson Williams Proctor School of Art in Utica, NY. Currently, I am doing independent study in a small classroom setting.

I love these rock paintings.Go to http://amandamakepeace.com to see all of Amanda's art.



Pebble Paintings

These paintings express my love of nature and stones inparticular. I've always been amazed at the variation of color and shapes in pebbles and stones. Several of my Pebble Paintings can be purchased as prints. Be sure to check them out at Imagekind.

Artist's Statement
I like to take things from nature that we ignore, take for granted or trod upon without a second glance as my subjects. This most often happens to be stones, rocks and pebbles. They come in more colors than just grey and brown - we need only look a little closer. Beauty can be found in the simplest things.

The Artist
Amanda is a self-taught, eclectic artist who tried a bit of art school and decided it was not for her. She wanted to do her own thing! She was born in Maryland, USA and later lived in Georgia and the South West Coast of England.

As a child she loved watching her Mother duplicate on paper her favorite toys and objects around the house. By the time Amanda was 8 she was an avid drawer and Nature was her Muse. Amanda has explored many subjects and techniques over the years but has now returned to her roots with Nature and wildlife as her subjects.

Amanda is a published artist and active member of EBSQ - Self Representing Artists. She is currently working on several projects; including Pen and Ink drawings of frogs and a new series of Earthscape paintings. In March 2007 Amanda returned to the USA and now lives in Athens, Georgia with her husband, daughter and 2 cats.

I painted this Misterious Tree on acid free mat board , on the velvety site. I wanted to see how it feels to paint on a velvety serface. I am pleased with the way it turned out, but it took a lot longer then any other Tree painting.
