I was visiting the park one day and noticed these two gals across the pond, eating their sundaes and checking out the folks walking by. Hot buns a'coming is to give you a visual of what they may be looking at!<br />

Nearing winter and the trees were dropping their leaves, a group of us artists set up to paint on location. We had hired a model and painted her on site. Then we did a photo shoot during the 'Golden Hour'. The afternoon was beautiful as the shadows played across the trees and the air was chilled.<br />
<br />
My painting depicts this lovely young woman as she awaits patiently by the water's edge for her young man to claim her.<br />

I love big, fluffy cats, and thus crazy over Maine Coon cats. These two cats are best buds! Such handsome fellows to grace any home. This Open Edition signed giclée print comes to you in a 11 x 14" black mat with backer board, clear resealable envelope and ready for a standard size frame. I have chosen the elegance of a black mat to focus the viewer's attention on the artwork.<br />

Well, I'll tell you some of what's new...I took down my old website and put up a new e-commerce site at the same address: <a href="https://originalartbymary.com/">originalartbymary.com</a>. It will only have my paintings. Prints, greeting cards, digital downloads and some small paintings will be at my Etsy<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtByMaryRochelle?">Etsy</a> store. However, Rome wasn't built in a day, so I will be working to put my artwork up, as I have been so busy with my galleries (and convalescing from an injury) that I had let my Etsy store go fallow.<br />
<br />
Other than that, life has been good and I earnestly intend to keep my nose to the grindstone. I'll keep you posted!<br />

"Black Magic Woman", is from a live painting session with our lovely model, Mia. She sat the entire session (morning and afternoon) with her beautiful 'bewitching' smile. I am so happy with the light and color on this piece, it practically glows in the dark!<br />
<br />
If you are in Phoenix this Friday, come to the opening of the Portrait Artists Of Arizona show at the University Club. I have three pieces in the show.<br />

This little sweetie, Marcel, belongs to my good friend. Like her mom, she is very curious, smart and adorable! The painting is for sale at my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/218618087/colorful-siamese-cat-with-alluring?ref=shop_home_active_3">Etsy</a> shop and comes framed and ships for free within the continental USA.<br />

I haven't posted lately because I have been painting up a storm and also back in July of last year I became one of the exhibiting artists at the <a href="http://www.sedonalocalartists.com/mary-rochelle-burnham.html">Village Gallery</a> in the Village of Oak Creek, AZ. I have made a line of affordable prints and greeting cards that I sell there, along with my original paintings, which I will be getting up on my Etsy site, as well. I have also been doing a little teaching, exhibiting in shows and doing commission pieces. I have been busier than ever...now, if I could just be pampered like this kitty, I'd have it made!Mary Rochellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17046848081324072761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6950686086679991440.post-21515674363749246652015-11-09T17:03:00.002-05:002016-04-24T19:42:47.150-04:00Autumn Kitty<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

This is a piece that I have entered into the Sedona Visual Artists' Coalition Show "Blue". The concept began to formulate with a former blog entry of <a href="http://artbymaryrochelle.blogspot.com/2012/12/shooting-star.html">mine</a> of almost three years ago. This one is actually a study for a piece that is 38x52" that I hope to have finished sometime next year. I am honored that my art was chosen for the front page of the show flyer. If you are in the area, please come out to see the exhibit.<br />

I could not of asked for a better group of students at my workshop hosted by <a href="http://bluemorninggallery.com/">Blue Morning Gallery</a> of Pensacola, FL. <a href="http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/hope-mastroianni.html">Hope</a> was an excellent model and sat for us the first two days and then the students worked from a photo that I provided on the third day. The time just flew by so quickly!<br />

I have found for myself, that I rarely have time to finish a portrait from life in a couple of hours. I usually will finish from reference photos that I take during the session. That is why I like to incorporate both working from life and photos in my workshops.<br />

I love all animals (and people), but I really have a connection to cats. We got our first from my uncle when I was a toddler. Most of my adult life I've had cats and dogs and an occasional bird, rabbit and squirrel (rescue). I became an artist because of my love of horses. I am available to do commission pet portraits, contact me if you are interested.Mary Rochellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17046848081324072761noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6950686086679991440.post-83975228725420891042015-09-22T10:16:00.000-04:002016-02-26T23:12:22.124-05:00Atop Schnebly Hill<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I love going up Schnebly Hill and enjoying the many gorgeous views, but it is about the worst road in the country! I guess it's to keep tourists away unless they are taking one of the many jeep tours that go up there.<br />

My portrait workshop is just a few weeks away in Pensacola, FL. I thought I'd switch gears and do some portraits. I am getting excited about teaching a class, again. I have been doing some private teaching since I have been in Arizona, but I miss all of my many students back in Michigan.<br />

My husband stacked some rocks in the yard a couple of years ago. It reminds me of a torso with a head and hat. I think it's cute and I absolutely love the evening lighting. This painting was done 'plein air' over two evenings as the light was changing so quickly.<br />

This little study was done in my studio on a sample from SourceTek of their Claessens #13 Oil Primed Linen Fine Weave Panel mounted to Baltic Birch. It's an interesting surface and quite different than I usually work on. You can find them at <a href="https://www.canvaspanels.com/">https://www.canvaspanels.com</a>.<br />
