Garden Party, Cindy Walton, oil and cold wax on panel, 36x 36.

As an abstract painter I am always searching for change.
The beauty of that change is that I grow as an artist and the work matures. I try to allow the process of the change in my work help me move towards being true to my own voice and communicating something to you, the viewer.
Look at Garden Party - the title reflects a lush garden dotted with warm florals. To me, the garden itself is a party.

Creek Walking

This is "creek walking"! When my children were little we would go on creek safaris turning over rocks to see what's living underneath. Take a minute and listen to the water.......Again lots of inspiration!

Near Home, Cindy Walton, oil and cold wax on panel, 12x12, $440

I have had the opportunity to do a little "creek walking" lately. Every time I do this I am reminded how fortunate I am to have these glimpses of the natural world around me. Many of these experiences lead to abstract paintings like "Near Home "and Near Home 3. Pulling lines, space, colors and emotions to shape into these contemporary landscapes, riverscapes or seascapes

Near Home 3, Cindy Walton, oil and cold wax on panel, 8x8, $165

Woven Conversation 1, Cindy Walton, 16x16, oil, cold wax, oil paper, on panel., 650

This is one of the first paintings from what I have been Woven Conversations. Several folks have said "why" I think as all creative people we have to grow and change. I was throwing away things in my studio a while back and thought why don't you do something with the paper. Well here we are torn woven and painted on top new pallet, new marks, and new art.

My studio at home. Not very glamorous but a good place to work on new things.

The Big reveal final

8/11/2019

This is the final painting as I mentioned. It has traveled over many stages to come to this final resting place. The client will view the end of August. I will let you know what happens.

You may ask what were the changes I made? My students hear me say this all the time, More Layers!
Without the first attempt at this painting I would not have had the "history" lying beneath to allow for the depth and motion that was finally achieved. A defeat that became a victory.

Big Reveal 1-commission continued

The relationship between an artist and client is a give and take. We both have a vision in our minds as to the outcome of the painting . So we work together to reach our final destination.

I thought I had the job finished when I met the client but she wanted something extra within the painting. I went back to the drawing board. One small glitch in the path of this contemporary oil painter.

The client really likes this body of work. "Reaching Deeply" is an example of the color palette. This particular size did not work with their interior. So color palette has been determined..... stay tuned - soon - right here on my blog for a peek at the beginnings of the painting!

Reaching Deeply, Cindy Walton, 40"x20", oil and cold wax medium on panel, $2300.

Working out the whites in the painting.

A new commission is an exciting thing. It's a new painting for someone who has admired your work and has a specific space in their home where they want to hang your artwork!

The decision-making takes a bit of time but once the details are worked out it is time to start.....
Take a look--this page will answer specific questions about commissions, if interested contact me info@cindywalton.com

Now to begin: Step one: size is determined, panel is crafted and the wood/substrate must be primed.

Watch the blog over the next month to see the progress!
