    FineArtStudioOnline Blogs...
in no particular order

    Faye Taylor: Faye works in oils and watercolor,specializing in western scenes.  She is well known for her cowboy and ranch paintings. Faye paints in a realistic style, spicing it up with color, shape and value to keep things lively and interesting. You will find many WIP's on her blog.

Her art has been on the covers of several magazines including a recent issue of Cascade Arts & Entertainment, Horses in Art Magazine and locally in Cascade Horse Journal.  
    Marian Fortunati: Marian's oil paintings are simply luscious. Many depict her love of travel yet, I'm especially drawn to her still life and floral paintings.  She shares regularly on her blog.  Make it a point to visit..I'm sure you will enjoy.
    Sharon Weaver:  Sharon's work reveals architecture, remote valleys, rugged mountains, quiet water, solitary settings; all scenes that convey peace and strength. These themes are central to Sharon’s art.  The painting featured to the right is from her Architecture collection...and a favorite of mine.
    Karen Cooper:  The focus of Karen’s work is with the figure. Intrigued by the stories that can be told with paintings of people, their postures, and their relationships to each other.. Karen says...“I have been known to say that a painting that’s clever or pretty is not enough---it has to tell a story that holds my interest.”  (well said Karen)
    Donna PierceClark:  Donna is passionate painter of Nature, Color, and Light. Her paintings are a visual depiction of her spirit and reflect her bold and colorful approach to painting. Donna's watercolors on yupo express fluid, loose brushwork; while her plein air paintings in oils exhibit a more controlled, but impressionistic feeling. She freely shares her experince with others through classes and demonstrations. Enjoy.
    Lori Woodward Simmons: is both an accomplished artist and writer. She has written for Watercolor Magazine since 1996 and currently writes an instructional column for that publication.  She is a renowned painter in both watercolor and oil.  Her blog is an inspirational read...not to be missed.
    Keiko Tanabe:  is an award-winning watercolor artist.  Her paintings have been juried into many exhibitions across North America and in her native country. Her paintings have been purchased by private collectors in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Keiko's blog posts are candy for the eye and inspiration for the mind...you won't be disappointed when you visit.
     Jean Corbett: Jean is a watercolor artist, painting portraits, florals and still life.  She shares her wealth of knowledge on her blog and has many 'teaching' posts.  I particularly enjoy her portraits. She has a real gift in the ability to capture the spirit of the subject. 

Take time to visit and to learn.
     
     
    Other Artists Who Blog Regularly...
sharing their art, their talent, and their wisdom

    Karen Hargett: When I first started following Karen she was a pencil artist, working mainly in graphite (pencil) but in the last couple of years she has added pastels to her list of accomplishments.

Karen's pastels are vibrant and luminous while possessing a softness that makes you want to reach out and touch them.  So, if you are a 'touchy feely' person...enjoy.
    Susan Carlin: Susan is a portrait artist who also paints figures, still life and a landscape now and then...and does this with a natural  flair and style that is most enveous.

You'll see many WIP's on Susan's blog and she gives free online painting demonstrations each week.  Take time to visit Susan's blog...you won't be wasting your time.
     Jeannette Jobson: As an artist, Jeanette will tell you her first love is dry media, yet oils and watercolors find their way into her hands as well. She teaches drawing privately and through workshops and accepts commissions.  Her blog is a never ending walk of inspiration..don't miss it!
    Annelein Beukenkamp: As an award winning watercolorist and Signature Member of the Vermont Watercolor Society her work has been featured in catalogs, calendars, posters, and other print media.

No subject is off limits for one of Annelein's paintings. You will see flowers, still lifes of edibles, city scapes and landscapes. Her painting style is loose and free with perfect composition and use of light. 

She shares freely on her blog with vedios and WIP's. 
    Cindy Haase: Cindy is an artist of many talents. She loves everything about the creative process, working in  colored pencil, pastels and fiber art.

She painstakingly explains the process from the setup of the still life to the finished painting.  Visit Cindy's blog. Take the trip...you'll find it time well spent.
    Theresa Miller: Theresa is a painter of watercolors, although, more recently she has been venturing into oils and acrylics. Her watercolors are inspiring. She has a wonderful sense of composition and use of light.

Theresa's subjects range from still life, and florals, to city scapes and figurative. 
    Mollie Jones: Mollie paints a variety of subjects   She paints crystal with a masters touch and includes many WIP's on her blog.  I've learned much about painting glass from Mollie.  Take a look for yourself.
    Sheona Hamilton: The pencil drawings of Sheona Hamilton are nothing less than perfection.  She often explains the process and shares progress photos.  Enjoy
    Jane Freeman: Here is a 'master watercolorist'.  Jane's blog is rich with instruction and she has recently written a book Celebration of Light. 

Beautiful composition, color, and of course LIGHT. If it's watercolor, it's here. Be inspired...take a look.
