Dancing Light Studio: July 2014
http://dancinglightstudio.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
The blog of Ohio artist, Nora Sallows, a compulsive oil painter! Sunday, July 27, 2014. Wicker Porch Furniture- Evelyn's Porch. This is perhaps my favorite painting from the paintout last weekend. It rained on and off all day Saturday so I sat on a porch near the park and painted an interior. I discovered that wicker furniture is not the easiest thing in the world to paint but I had lots of time. Labels: gray day painting. Tuesday, July 22, 2014. 1957 Lyman Wooden Boat. 9" x 12" oil on linen. Jessica, ou...

Dancing Light Studio: Old Barn, Plein Air
http://dancinglightstudio.blogspot.com/2015/07/old-barn-plein-air.html
The blog of Ohio artist, Nora Sallows, a compulsive oil painter! Monday, July 27, 2015. Old Barn, Plein Air. Prefer to paint outdoors when I have the opportunity in the summer. I painted this plein air piece on a warm morning in July last week. The farm has been in the Fry family for generations. When I paint I aim for a "mood" more than a photographic image. The painting should tell the viewer a little bit about how I felt when I viewed the subject. Turn of the Century Barn. Spring at Bad Creek.

Dancing Light Studio: August 2015
http://dancinglightstudio.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
The blog of Ohio artist, Nora Sallows, a compulsive oil painter! Saturday, August 22, 2015. Barry Sanders Oklahoma State University Painting. This is a large commissioned painting of Barry Sanders in his Oklahoma State University uniform. It was commissioned by a fan in Virginia for his 'man cave.' I used a couple different photos and then changed his right arm so the number 21 showed up better. I'll have prints available at Fine Art America next month. Oil on gallery wrap canvas. 8" x 10" oil on canvas.

Dancing Light Studio: October 2014
http://dancinglightstudio.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
The blog of Ohio artist, Nora Sallows, a compulsive oil painter! Friday, October 31, 2014. Two People in a Portrait is Twice the amount of work. This was a lengthy and time consuming portrait to get "right". Changing clothing, position and background required some thought. In the end I think (hope) they were happy with it. The painting is a gift commissioned by an aunt for someone so I may never hear what the actual couple think of it. Here is the original reference. Tuesday, October 28, 2014. Tomorrow i...

Dancing Light Studio: February 2015
http://dancinglightstudio.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
The blog of Ohio artist, Nora Sallows, a compulsive oil painter! Saturday, February 14, 2015. Wild Burros Have Been Here for Many Years. I came across this friendly Wild Burro munching on some palo verde at a horse ranch a couple years ago when I was in AZ. The little guy didn't seem to be bothered at all by tourists with cameras so I snapped a few shots and forgot about them until the other night when I was going through some images looking for interesting subjects to paint. Early prospectors relied hea...

Dancing Light Studio: January 2015
http://dancinglightstudio.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
The blog of Ohio artist, Nora Sallows, a compulsive oil painter! Sunday, January 25, 2015. Honey Pot with Pears. Winter wraps it's cold fingers around our frosty neighborhood. I don't allow its icy grip to affect my mood. So what if I am stuck inside the studio and it's becoming a little claustrophobic? I have paint. I have canvas, and I have plenty of stuff. Have to deal with the ongoing construction but it's a small price to pay. Honey Pot with Pears. Tuesday, January 20, 2015. Still Life with Red Onion.

Dancing Light Studio: A Cozy Corner
http://dancinglightstudio.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-cozy-corner.html
The blog of Ohio artist, Nora Sallows, a compulsive oil painter! Friday, July 24, 2015. Sometimes I have a painting that hangs around for a year or two and I pull it out and think this just needs a little more work. Depending on how the work goes it either ends up in the trash or in a frame. I like how this one turned out. I brightened the flowers and added a cat. It's a very 'cool' painting in tone and hue but sometimes that's OK. I often tend to go a bit too warm on my pieces. Spring at Bad Creek.

Dancing Light Studio: Light and Shadow
http://dancinglightstudio.blogspot.com/2015/07/light-and-shadow.html
The blog of Ohio artist, Nora Sallows, a compulsive oil painter! Saturday, July 25, 2015. This is an example of a plein air painting that I began in the field and finished at home in my studio. I'm not always able to finish my outdoor studies. Sometimes the weather changes. Other times I spend too long on the details and the light changes so much I find myself doing what's known as "chasing the light.". In this painting of a light post at Lakeside, Ohio. Plein air to studio. Spring at Bad Creek. Subscrib...

The blog of Ohio artist, Nora Sallows, a compulsive oil painter! Friday, July 31, 2015.
