Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. SCOTT ADAMS SOLD If Monet’s Poppies Were in My Garden © 2014 Karen Mathison Schmidt 16 x 20 • oil on cradled GessobordTM private collection • Shreveport, Louisiana I just realized I hadn’t yet posted the final version of this one which I did last fall. So here it is -- prints available soon!
Hey, everybody! I really didn’t mean to take a blogging hiatus; I’ve been ultra busy with a couple of art-related projects for our church (a poster and flyers for a women’s event, and four lamb-shaped yard signs, meant to be neighborhood announcements for newborn babes). Now I’ve completed those, and will be starting on a couple of painting commissions I have lined up. I’ll show progress photos on those as soon as I have them. I also did the first mowing of the season this week, which has been absolutely gorgeous weather-wise. The mowing was about three weeks past due because our mower was in the shop having its blades replaced and some other small repairs, but now I’m glad it took so long because otherwise this little patch of thistle would never have had a chance to spring up. I mowed around it because I really love thistle, which grows wild in the pasture, and not only that, it seems to be an absolute butterfly magnet! All this week, ever since mowing on Monday, no matter when I traipse out to this little patch, it’s crowded with butterflies. Glorious! All you artists out there, feel free to use any of these photos as reference for painting ... if you feel like it, send me a photo of your painting and I’ll post it with a link to your blog or website. Here’s one monarch over on the left. I’m hoping to get some better shots of these orange and black beauties, but they’re kind of camera shy, and really quick! This little guy flew off high up in the live oak tree, and stayed up there all the time I was taking photos. Got him with my zoom, though: Meanwhile, back at the thistle: I love this little odd man out ... the black and blue one with the orange spots. Here they were all trying to crowd onto one blossom. Must be the dessert section of the buffet. Butterfly echo. Happy painting!

I first served this dip during a Super Bowl party, and boy, did it disappear fast. It's a great addition to a snack table because it can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until you're ready to pop it in the oven.—Molly Seidel, Edgewood, New Mexico

Stunner © 2015 Karen Mathison Schmidt 9 x 12 inches • oil on cradled Museum Series GessobordTM Commission • Lewisberry, Pennsylvania A couple of weeks ago a very talented mosaic artist, Jo Alexander, contacted me for permission to use my “Solace” painting: as color reference for a landscape piece she was planning to do from a photo she had taken at her home: I happily gave permission (and thanks so much, Jo, for asking!) and told her I would love to see her finished work: Stunningly beautiful! (Click here for more of Jo’s work on her Facebook page.) And then (speaking of “stunning”) Jo commissioned me to do a portrait of her beautiful cat, Stunner, who, sadly, had passed away last year, and is still greatly missed. I’ve truly enjoyed painting this handsome kitty (called “a real stunner” when he was just a kitten, by Jo’s son, and the name stuck). Thanks and hugs, Jo!
