And for Fun ... Work(s) In Progress

******

UPDATE!

RESERVED

Liver pups inspired by Joan Murphy's images of her own Dals.

The top painting is based on a pic of her Hombre when he was a pup.

He has just the right pose and attitude for

"Life Is A Party"

I saw him surrounded by colorful balloons and his beautiful self making a fun design.

This oil is 12x12 and will be available in the next week when it should be finished. It is a fun process painting the balloons in thin glazes, this is at its second pass.

***

The seascape based on Brulee suggested a curious pup discovering a new "friend" in the tide line on the shore.

"Diversity of Friends" 10x10 oil It is in a drying stage waiting for the next session. The beauty of oil paint is that you can work on several at the same time which gives you a chance to make decisions of where you will go next, or in many cases, where it will take you on the next pass.

***

If you would like to reserve a painting to purchase when done...

email me: carolchretien@aol.com

If you REALLY want the painting for your own, please let me know because I always get emails after the painting has sold asking me if I can paint one like it. I don't. It doesn't work that way.

But I do appreciate the thought!

ALL my work when sold gives 20% to non-profit rescue helping homeless animals.

Stay Tuned!

thanks for looking!

Update...RED HEART Dalmatian...and more

RESERVED!

This is phase 2 of "LOVE ME, LOVE ME NOT" a work in progress...one more pass to complete I think.

***

Just want to say a word about WOMEN's CARDIAC HEALTH and Wearing RED in the month of February is a reminder to make yourself aware of cardiac warning signs in women.

http://www.ehow.com/facts_5531890_cardiac-symptoms-women.html

Thanking Joan for the use of her images to inspire some mew Dalmatian work. The painting above is based on "Dash" one of her gorgeous Dalmatians. This painting will provide a donation to Dalmatian Rescue.

Life and the Joy of Painting....

WORK IN PROGRESS...

My 20's were about living larger than life...My 30's were about establishing a homebase, physically, mentally and spiritually...My 40's were about using what I learned to help family members who needed me...My 50's have been about expressing my ME-NESS and taking all the other decades with all their foibles and faux pas' and getting ready to blast into my 60's with adventures and a capriciousness that I hope screams "I've got nothing to lose! so WHY NOT?!"

Just felt like sharing that and that was a bit more than you probably wanted to know.
I am also sharing a FIRST LOOK.... ironically it is going to be titled:

LOVE ME...LOVE ME NOT

STAY TUNED!

APRIL BLUES - finished work

The "Year of the Cat" series of oil paintings started half way through 2009. The first 3 paintings in this 12x12 format sold. This is the 4th painting (April) in the group. They are connected by a cat and a color. My monitor is not picking up the color RED that is in the background or on the wooden edge of the planter's base, but it is there. This is a very substantial painting. The eyes of this cat are not exaggerated. "Brie" has incredible blue eyes that just draw you in and I love painting white animals.

This painting is now listed on www.arthelpinganimals.blogspot.com as well as on my own website www.carolchretien.com and is available for sale. If you are interested in purchasing just contact me. FREE domestic shipping, 150.00 12x12 on gallery wrapped canvas.

I will be donating 20% of the sale to help BRISTOL ANIMAL SHELTER the place where I got my inspiration for the work and also an additional 10% to TABBY's PLACE cat sanctuary, an ART HELPING ANIMALS supported rescue. Two rescues will benefit. More cats will be helped.
I will be posting this painting on the DAILY PAINTER's GALLERY for the Thursday posting, representing Art Helping Animals.

On the Easel...this black labrador is right where he needs to be...on a shore by the sea.

Black Dogs get adopted last but Black Labs have to be one of the most popular family dogs on the planet. They just aren't so flashy in the local shelter, sometimes they get overlooked!

***

OLD DOG HAVEN rescues many old black dogs and Judith, their founder, remains dedicated to helping these old dogs find dignity, love and comfort in their last years.

Old Dog Haven is a final refuge rescue.

Many live out their lives in that hospice care and many still have homes waiting for the adopables in their care.

Please visit their site for more info. and to read about their good work.

UPDATE! regarding Prudence!

Just got the news! SHE GOT ADOPTED and the painting has SOLD!
Thanks for the great comments received from sending the image and word out on Twitter and Facebook and of course through this BLOG!

I am humbled and gratified to help and the donation is being made as we speak to help DALMATIAN RESCUE TAMPA BAY...they work hard, are grass roots and non-profit and go MILES beyond the norm for these dogs (and some not so spotted ones) and I mean MILES literally!

I stand and applaud them all. Thanks for tuning in....more to follow.
Blessings!

Dear Prudence - FIRST LOOK!

SOLD!

10x10

oil on canvas

CAROL CHRETIEN

***

This painting is available for

DALMATIAN RESCUE TAMPA BAY

inspired by "Prudence" a senor up for adoption.

DEAR PRUDENCE by the Beatles does come to mind...but she is "dear" and she needs her own bed, your bed? and a forever family.

you can find her on the DRTB website.

***

Also I would like to say it is a poignant reminder to me of time passing. Our own Lizzie, the central figure in our home , is aging and my connection to every single senior Dalmatian is so evident in my heart and in my art.

I live in that state of denial and see her as the "puppy" she has always been but the reality is she will be 13 in August and I am keenly aware of every moment of her time.

Our time with her.

I think she keeps wondering why we are always kissing her. LOL

THE PAINTING HAS SOLD...................

Business As Usual...The Muse is Home!

WORK IN PROGRESS ....first pass....
This new painting (ABOVE) is a work in progress for BRISTOL ANIMAL SHELTER
this painting is inspired by one of their adoptable young white cats..."BRIE"
Who could possibly say NO to those blue eyes? If My 16 yr old thug of a cat named Emmi would allow another cat in my house I would be first in line for this beauty.
When the painting is done I will list it for sale with 20% going to the rescue when sold.

AND...below is the finished painting first posted yesterday for RIMROCK of their adoptable "Honey."

Just on the easel this afternoon is a Dalmatian for DALMATIAN RESCUE OF TAMPA BAY
and a new black lab seascape for OLD DOG HAVEN...yes...the Muse is kicking butt and taking names!

Stay tuned....

Like Honey...

****

I walked into my studio today with my spine straight and my resolve intact...
The Muse walked in behind me, dropped her travel bags and pushed up her sleeves.

She said, " Lets get to it." ...and we did.

Two hours later...and I am here to tell you it was only about 20 minutes in my internal clock, we have the painting you see here. I have a few details to add when dry enough but I am thrilled with the start of 2010 and my painting efforts. There is no place in my life that TIME is suspended like when I am at the easel. The "Zone" does indeed exist.

First time I have put oil paint brush to canvas in '010.

I feel like I just let out a LONG held breath. Yes, this is breathing to me.

OK...the nuts and bolts: This is my rendition of a beautiful cat that is up for adoption at RIMROCK HUMANE SOCIETY in Montana.
She is waiting for that forever home. Her name is "Honey" I will be posting this for sale on the ART HELPING ANIMALS ART BLOG as soon as it is done.

If you are interested in it before I list it please know 20% goes right to this rescue.
It will be 125.00 with free domestic shipping!

please email me: carolchretien@aol.com to reserve it. Once it is gone, it is gone for good.

Back to the studio and back to work.

Regrouping ....In need of inspiration.

Last year was a busy year. At the end of the year I made a few calendars of the year's work for family and myself, as I have done the last several years...thought I would share a page from the 12 months.
I am spending the day sorting and finishing up some loose ends and reliving my older work as I start preparing for the new work to come. I really enjoyed doing these pieces and still enjoy looking at them.
Stay tuned.........

The Empty Bowl - not so empty!

A metaphor for being open to all good inspirations, aspirations...and keeping my lines of communication open.

Yesterday I sent out my thoughts to the Universe (and a call to my Muse who I envisioned was away on vacation...still) although I have a different perspective on this today.

I have come to realize she has been giving me some space.

I needed a break, a pause, a deep sigh. I was beating myself up with the idea that I was stepping away from the canvas for too long. Realizing that I have been painting hundreds of works with a feverish need to make my donations that help.

AH.....this morning I made the donations without painting! Without lifting a brush to canvas. It doesn't feel the same obviously, when a painting sells and I make a donation then it is a 3 way WIN and it has that added magic to it that makes it all worthwhile. The painting gets a home too!

HOWEVER....I was inspired to give to a local rescue FAXON ANIMAL RESCUE FALL RIVER MA. as someone told me the story yesterday that they rescued a cat, brought the cat for vet care to the Sylvan Vet Care that is attached to Faxon, saw my name and website on their "CREATIVE WAYS TO GIVE" page.... I didn't even realize they had me linked there...and I thought it was a good way to start my January.

This morning on Facebook I read about RESCUE INK and the work they are doing for the neediest animals....BINGO! Donation sent.

I will start painting soon...there are many EMPTY BOWLS out there that need filling. Money is GREEN ENERGY...you have to keep the energy moving. It is GOOD KARMA. Helping feels GOOD.

The Muse will be joining me soon ...all tanned and rested I am sure. I have a few conversations planned. I'll be happy to see her when the timing is just right.

She has worked awfully hard beside me the last 4 years. I guess she deserved a break.

Stay tuned!

Quiet Contemplation...In a Capricorn way...

This is pretty much where I am at the moment.

I have been reading my horoscope the last week or so and it seems that by that measure I am finding myself reevaluating all my methods of operation. Mercury is in retrograde and things seem to be spinning backwards.

I am working on refining my website and reworking my schedules to help me get into that place where I can be my most creative. What does it all mean?

Every year my resolutions (some say you should not make them as you set yourself up for failure) seem to involve 3 things: the search for CLARITY, better ORGANIZATION, and BALANCE.
Here I am again. So THIS year I am calling them "ASPIRATIONS" (thanks Stella!) and looking at what steps will get me there. SO Capricorn.

I just read that one of the traits of a Cap is that you want to SEE the net before you leap...but if you don't see it... YOU want to make it yourself. LOL!

Seems what drives me is that I need to have a purpose. I need to make a difference. That is very much me. "You can see the wheels turning" is what one of my instructors once said to me in a post class discussion. Another told me to STOP! working on my work. I was obsessing I guess on some type of perfection. I can't seem to just cruise if I am doing something worthwhile.

Ah well...I am finding ways this month to make life more colorful for my Mom as we repaint her living spaces in new and refreshed colors!

I have a call out to my MUSE....waiting for the call back! ...I hear distant laughter I think.

I hope your day is going in a forward motion but ...if you are in the retrograde spin ...look within, and, if you see me...WAVE! :)

The painting above is available and listed on eBay as we speak.

Two Sides of the Coin...

Standing right behind the house and looking out toward the east is the cove of the river that is the scene I see from up in the studio. This is the beginning of the New Year with a fresh, clean and sunny point of view.
Now flip around 180 degrees...

... and look west from the previous image and you see my studio up in the trees. The last window on the left is where my easel is and that corner is the south side, so on a day like today it is pretty warm and bright. I have removable frosted panels in the windows to cut the bright glare and still let in the light.

Letting in the light in this darkest season of the year is what we do here at Casa Chretien. We aren't very fancy or have many things but it is a wonderful home base to create from.

I count my blessings everyday.

Today I am still getting all the loose ends together and prepping for a month of creativity. I hope you can join me on this 2010 Odyssey...Let the games begin!

Wishing everyone a wonderful start to their NEW YEAR!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2010

2010 the year of the Tiger!

WISHING EVERYONE A HAPPY NEW YEAR

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I had the great fortune of being able to paint these two wonderful dogs as a surprise Christmas exchange gift for fellow Art Helping Animals artist,

Melinda Dalke.

Sterling and Day-Lee are the much loved family dogs of the Dalke's.

Melinda supplied the reference images for the painting.

***

I have also had the great fortune of working with Melinda in the Art Helping Animals fellowship of artists for the past several years.

Melinda's work is incredibly fresh and creative, and highly collected. She works in many different mediums and is a wonderful supporter of helping rescues save Pitbulls with sales of her artwork.

I am the proud collector of several pieces of her work.

***

I wanted to share her two gorgeous dogs with you. I think they have so much love for each other and wonderful personalites.

Melinda Dalke lives in Oregon with her husband and is a founding member of

Art Helping Animals.

White Christmas....oh yes, Virginia, we will have one!

Can you SPOT my Lizzie in the photo taken this morning of freshly falling snow?

She is looking up the path in her yard that is her track around her little patch of woods.
She usually flies straight out fromt he back door and does a couple of laps around, prancing and barking just in case there is a squirrel or chip munk lurking around.
Not this morning...she stopped short took a look and came back in. LOL!

Hope the winter snow is making you feel Christmasy but lets hope it clears up a bit so we can finish all our missions this week!

We REALLY do look like the Christmas cards we send with those white winter scenes and the New England feel.

If you are traveling in our area...stay safe...or even better ....stay home!

More to come!

It's a Wonderous Season...

A Christmas Carol...
Christmas is coming,

The geese are getting fat,

Please put a pennyIn the old man's hat.

If you haven't got a penny,A ha'penny will do,

If you haven't got a ha'penny,

Then God bless you.

(my nieces would sing this to me when they were little)

It is a wonderous season...the chance to meet the challenges

with Grace and Giving.

It doesn't have to be much but every kindness is amplified.

***

Give what you can to your local or favorite charities

Help a neighbor...

Be an elf...

Light the lives of people you know who need a hand.

***

One little gesture of help that you can manage will go a long way

to someone in need.

****

Please don't forget the animals who depend on us so desperately.

there has never been such need in shelters

as there is today as so many animals are left behind as families

can no longer afford them or even have homes for them.

***

Give thanks for all you have and pay it forward if you can.

Merriest Christmas

Happiest New Year!

PEACE & JOY

4 Dalmatians in Progress (continued)

and as we continue with this portrait(s) demo....

This morning, FROM THERE (last pass)

TO HERE! (today's work)

And the details done today:
modeling of the faces, defining eyes and adding depth to colors.

So...we are well on our way to the finish...

Tomorrow I will work on Cleo (top dal) and see if I can bring her up to the others...

then the next stage is to go back finish up the shadows details and make any corrections to my satisfaction

and those of the client :)

Then check my edges and put the final colors into the background to make sure everthing makes sense.

The final work consists of letting it be...go back look with fresh eyes and when nothing else can be done to make it better...

sign it!

Just a quick note to say that I have been sidelined by a cold and hope that a few more days will get me back in working order. So many illnesses going around at this time that my wish is that this one is qualifying me for the rest of this year and into the next NOT to catch anything else!



Please take care and I will be back the easel shortly!

A friend suggested I paint an appleheaded Siamese Cat.

Here it is...tried to keep it loose and bright yet painted on a toned canvas.

That is something I rarely do.

***

This morning I started the day once again in the foul gray mood this weather has handed us but made myself sit at the easel with a brush in my hand and work on this little piece.

The afternoon is for SPOTs but this one for TABBY'S PLACE will help kick off the holiday season.

You have to keep ahead of the current or you are swept away...

right now...I am treading water.

Lets see where it flows.

I have this painting on my walls, and every year at this time I post it as a tribute to the season of pumpkins and autumn and all the things I love best about living in New England.

This painting of one of our porch pumpkins is a favorite.

I get lots of inquiries but it remains on my walls.

It has yet to find the right buyer I suppose. No loss for me as I enjoy looking at it.

Three weeks in the making, I painted this in a hyper realistic style and enjoyed the thin glazing to get the glow and the colors just right and to my satisfaction.

Should the work sell it will give a donation to a non-profit rescue.
