Mother and Child by Texas Artist Judy Mackey

"Mother and Child"

20" x  16", Oil on Canvas
SOLD

Last month, out of the blue, I received an email from someone I didn't know.  Though the email landed in my Spam Folder, I do try to do a quick check daily and that day, the title of the painting was the email Subject so I opened it.

 

It said:

 

Hi Judy.  My name is Kim Collinson and I am an artist as well.  I have only recently started painting again, but for many years I have enjoyed following artist and their work.  I just yesterday pinned your painting of "Mother & Child" on my Pinterest board "Art I Love" and in less than 24 hours 144 people have re-pinned your painting!  That truly is amazing and I thought I would share it with you.

 

She also wrote later to say her email box was inundated with notices from Pinterest from likes and up to 355 re-pins. Thank you, Kim, first for pinning my work and second, for taking the time to letting me know....We certainly do have angels when we aren't even aware of them!!

 

As you might noticed and have read in Kim's email to me, she is an artist and I think it only fair to tell you she is an artist who sells her work on Etsy - please take a look at her beautiful work:

Holding Hands Texas Palette Knife Artist Judy Mackey

"Hands"

10" x  8" x 2" Oil on Cradled Panel

Oh my goodness!  I found some 2 inch deep cradled panels on sale - they only had 3 so I bought all three!  So much fun to paint on - the paint just glides on the smooth surface.

 

This started as a commission sketch for a gallery.  I have not heard back from the gallery so I suppose the commissioner is not interested in the sketches I did.  I fixed this up though because I didn't quite like the original painting/sketch.  I made the little girl a little thicker and made her hair more blond or light.  And then I made them more abstract with only wisps of color.

Whitey Tighty Palette Knife Artist J

"Whitey Tighty"

14" x 11", Oil on canvas

Fun painting!  I did fix it a little - I posted this painting on Facebook when I first finished it and had such funny comments about it....like when a woman is losing an argument with a man, all she has to do is play with her breasts and she can win....or that whitey tighty refer to men's undies...

 

The fixes were in her jawline which I did not like.  Now I like the finished painting....she is NOT playing with her breasts - she is covering them...

I wanted to try painting Tango dancers for a while.  But I painted this from the "leg"/"feet" aspect.  I like to sometimes guess what the art is about, I don't want to know the whole story, I want to fill in the blanks.

Angel Watching, Judy Mackey Contemporary American Palette Knife Artist

"Angel Watching"

9" x 6" x 1.5", Oil on Stretched Canvas

Somewhat moody painting looking at an angel from behind as the angel watches...I posted this on Facebook and someone mentioned that the angel looked like she was waiting to help someone. Angels probably do wait around so that they are available to help us.

How's your angel? Done anything lately that'd make the angel sitting on your shoulder whisper "don't do it...." as the little devil on the other shoulder presses for you to?

Well, be an angel and spread the word on this - I have a listing on Ebay right now for an angel painting I painted earlier this year - the angel is wearing pink boots and it's called "You wear it Well". 100% of the proceeds goes to Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer Awareness. Only a few more days to make your bid and donation. Click here to Bid on Ebay.

Angel with Cowboy Boots - Palette knife painting of angels by Judy Mackey

"You Wear It Well"
10" x  10", Oil on Board
Available for purchase
$300 s/h included

A while back I painted an angel with Cowboy boots on.  On that post someone commented that if she were to have an angel she'd have on pink boots because she is a breast cancer survivor.  With that in mind I painted several angels with pink boots.    This is the third of those angels.  These angels with cowboy boots just seem to have an attitude - I like angels with attitudes.  Angels should have attitudes, they look out for us, afterall....HA! if you read this far - are you tired of reading the same words except for the "third"

I think painting in a series is good especially when you hit upon a good idea - this one because of a comment on one of my angel with cowboy paintings.  So this is the third of a pink boot series.

I have this painting on display at the Muse & Co Fine Art Gallery in Roswell, GA.  They have a number of my angels on display there.  If you are in Atlanta, do try to get over to Roswell where there are a number of really nice art galleries clustered in their historic downtown.  I am so happy to be a part of that art scene.

Angel with Cowboy Boots - Palette knife painting of angels by Judy Mackey

"Angel with Cowboy Boots"

14" x  11", Oil on Board

I had this image of cowboy boots...maybe it's because I'm a part of the Artists of Texas and there is a lot of Texana in our paintings....?  And I live in Texas....and I was thinking - I'd like a pair of cowboy boots...

This angel seems to be walking with a lot of spunk...big steps...like Texans...and yet lost in thought...

I hope your angel, the one who watches over you, has spunk.  That they aren't too cautious when the devil sitting on your other shoulder is whispering for you to do something you're not comfortable with - that your "good" angel isn't making you do things that are too safe...

For the Mae Wests in us!  YAY!

Can I Come Along - Male Angel Palette Knife Oil Painting by Judy Mackey

"Can I Come Along"

12" x  9", Oil on Board

The one thing that sometime scared me was, will my pets be cared for if I should leave?  The title is for that thought.  It's also a cool looking "dude" angel with sunglasses.

Just a thought - be sure to remember your pets in your wills, be sure to ask friends who will be guardians to take care of them and - update your wills!   I know this is not a topic/reminder you thought you'd find but since I'm painting Angels - I thought I'd just mention it!

Quiet Talk, Angel Palette Knife Oil Painting by Judy Mackey

"Quiet Talk"

10" x  10", Oil on Board

I was looking at my recent inventory of paintings and was thinking,  "I sure have painted a few angel paintings lately".  I have been posting them on Facebook and it has been a pleasant surprise to receive comments and thumbs up on the paintings.  I think Facebook has it's place in seeing what is getting people's attention and what hasn't.  

Yesterday I met Isabelle Gautier, a Georgia Artist who blogs on the Daily Painters of Georgia site.  We'd only "met" virtually through emails so it was nice to put a face to a name.  We visited a few Galleries and then had lunch at a French restaurant.  Isabelle is from the Normandy area of France so it was nice going to a French restaurant, ordering wine for lunch.  We talked about our art, ideas on galleries, what venues work for selling art, etc.  It was nice brainstorming and making a new friend.

Darn It's A Snow Day and I'm Alone - Palette Knife Painting by American Artist, Judy Mackey

"Darn It's a Snow Day and I'm Alone"

6" x  6", Oil on Board

So, last week we had 100 hours of below freezing temperatures here in North Texas!  So it started with a pair of feet sticking out of the bed sort of painting and when they started to announce school, businesses, and office closings, this little idea popped into my head....what if you had found yourself stuck in you house but didn't have anyone over that would have shared the snuggly moments in the morning, you'd be saying "Darn!"

Ardent - Palette Knife Oil Painting by Judy Mackey

"Ardent"

6 x 6 inches, Oil on Board

$90.00 - Available

Click HERE to purchase.

I've been painting angels and angels and angels it seems and this one was going to be a study for another "couple angel".  I had it sketched with my brown pencil but I didn't quite like it....it sat around in my stack of 6 x 6 boards waiting it's fate.  

So this afternoon as I was looking for another board to tone to get ready for more painting I grabbed this board and was going to wipe the pencil sketch off with some turpentine when I realized that the posture of the two was rather nice.   I outlined it with some brown paint and then the next bit was to put down red for the dress - suddenly it came alive.  I didn't want to mess with it and lose that "feeling"....because it was when I painted the red the word "Ardent" popped in my head.

This painting came together so quickly and I'm really pleased with it...I hope you will feel the same way too.
