type='text'>New Oil Paintings - Exhibit Opening at Broadway Gallery November 12th</title><content type='html'>As things have evolved, I regularly post on the Agile Arts blog - &lt;a href="http://agilearts.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://agilearts.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;so that's a better place to get regular update. I have neglected this blog but, this is a great place to simply share photos of my work for those who enjoy an uncluttered view with plenty of images. Here are some of my newest paintings for my upcoming exhibit at Broadway gallery beginning November 12th. If you're in town, I'm giving a free 1 hour drawing demo at 4pm at the gallery -&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.broadwaygalleries.net/events.php"&gt;http://www.broadwaygalleries.net/events.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

So, I'll be teaching a fun, 1 day mini-workshop on cloudscape painting ($85-100/person depending on how many attend) to a group of my students in early spring 2010. If you're interested in participating, drop me a line. It will likely be a Saturday or Sunday this spring. Everyone will go home with at least one or two cloud paintings. It's great fun once you know the right tools and techniques. If you've ever thought of painting clouds on a mural in your home, this is a great way to learn.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5946407655049490909-2193397332949946063?l=triciaratliff.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://triciaratliff.blogspot.com/feeds/2193397332949946063/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5946407655049490909&amp;postID=2193397332949946063' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5946407655049490909/posts/default/2193397332949946063'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5946407655049490909/posts/default/2193397332949946063'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://triciaratliff.blogspot.com/2009/12/fresh-new-landscape-paintings.html' title='Fresh new landscape paintings'/><author><name>Tricia Ratliff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10899759577462980142</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_DNwisrvL--M/SHqvXCr_TDI/AAAAAAAAAM4/XPjsIhyrrdY/S220/hot+details.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DNwisrvL--M/Szz3wsWJjMI/AAAAAAAAA4c/d0pk9Owy1-s/s72-c/IMG_3037.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946407655049490909.post-1956564417344048332</id><published>2009-12-17T06:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-29T07:13:01.974-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colorful'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sky'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='landscape'/><title type='text'>Fresh Gravel Road on a Crisp Sunny Morning</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DNwisrvL--M/SyEH6iksPtI/AAAAAAAAA3E/_5kzxE2Eow0/s1600-h/IMG_2687.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 296px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DNwisrvL--M/SyEH6iksPtI/AAAAAAAAA3E/_5kzxE2Eow0/s400/IMG_2687.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413616929370554066" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This little charming scene with it's warmer sky and cool shadows was part of that amazing painting week Peggy gave me in the mountains. I'm still thankful to Peggy for that wonderful opportunity and find myself filled with inspiration months later. When I saw this gently curving little gravel road turning off into the mountains, I pulled over to make a quick compositional sketch and make color notes. The light was so crisp and colorful that morning, I had to move on to fill my head with "first impressions" of many scenes and paint them later.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few of these will eventually be on my website: &lt;a href="http://www.TriciaRatliff.com"&gt;www.TriciaRatliff.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5946407655049490909-1956564417344048332?l=triciaratliff.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://triciaratliff.blogspot.com/feeds/1956564417344048332/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5946407655049490909&amp;postID=1956564417344048332' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5946407655049490909/posts/default/1956564417344048332'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5946407655049490909/posts/default/1956564417344048332'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://triciaratliff.blogspot.com/2009/12/fresh-gravel-road-on-crisp-sunny.html' title='Fresh Gravel Road on a Crisp Sunny Morning'/><author><name>Tricia Ratliff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10899759577462980142</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_DNwisrvL--M/SHqvXCr_TDI/AAAAAAAAAM4/XPjsIhyrrdY/S220/hot+details.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DNwisrvL--M/SyEH6iksPtI/AAAAAAAAA3E/_5kzxE2Eow0/s72-c/IMG_2687.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946407655049490909.post-3302572555825182712</id><published>2009-12-15T06:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-15T06:32:00.578-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sky'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='clouds'/><title type='text'>Dash of Clouds</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DNwisrvL--M/SyEGex47YdI/AAAAAAAAA28/HVCA3VzUpkA/s1600-h/IMG_2688.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 131px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DNwisrvL--M/SyEGex47YdI/AAAAAAAAA28/HVCA3VzUpkA/s400/IMG_2688.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413615352933999058" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This cute little painting was something I dashed out in a moment of inspiration while working on the larger skyscapes. I imagine this might rest above my son's bed or near his airplane lamp. I might even pair it later with a landscape in the same format so they can hang one above the other.

If you're not an artist, it's an extremely cool opportunity to see the "Artist's Underground" and find out what artists talk about when we're not at formal openings. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jams only take place my studio once a year (maybe twice if we all feel compelled). So, if you're planning to be in town that weekend, give me a call or drop me an e-mail for the address. It's free. Super Casual dress is required. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be admitted, bring your latest drawing/painting/composition or your laptop - maybe some photos of your work ... anything that inspires you ...  music, poetry and laughter ... how about a flyer for a workshop you've discovered ... if you can't think of anything else bring a snack and sit back to enjoy the party. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See you there!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5946407655049490909-6267848794188801453?l=triciaratliff.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://triciaratliff.blogspot.com/feeds/6267848794188801453/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5946407655049490909&amp;postID=6267848794188801453' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5946407655049490909/posts/default/6267848794188801453'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5946407655049490909/posts/default/6267848794188801453'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://triciaratliff.blogspot.com/2009/12/next-art-jam-saturday-january-23rd-2010.html' title='Next Art Jam - SATURDAY JANUARY 23rd 2010 - 7:00pm'/><author><name>Tricia Ratliff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10899759577462980142</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_DNwisrvL--M/SHqvXCr_TDI/AAAAAAAAAM4/XPjsIhyrrdY/S220/hot+details.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946407655049490909.post-947439403781378925</id><published>2009-12-10T06:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-11T13:38:34.710-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gift'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='how to paint'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='landscape'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='clouds'/><title type='text'>Clouds Reflecting in a Coastal Lake</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DNwisrvL--M/SyEDzhl00tI/AAAAAAAAA20/69-WsCIMDJw/s1600-h/IMG_2691.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 292px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DNwisrvL--M/SyEDzhl00tI/AAAAAAAAA20/69-WsCIMDJw/s400/IMG_2691.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413612410801279698" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember this moment so clearly. Dad was still with us. This was the day he gave me that feather that figured prominently in my still life paintings 3 years ago. Our family was out canoeing on this coastal lake with big beautiful clouds both above and below us. I was happy and roundly pregnant sitting in the center of the canoe while Walter and Kit chatted. Feeling charmed, I promised myself I'd paint this moment eventually. Today seemed like the perfect opportunity to paint and include it in this series of light hearted paintings.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5946407655049490909-947439403781378925?l=triciaratliff.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://triciaratliff.blogspot.com/feeds/947439403781378925/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5946407655049490909&amp;postID=947439403781378925' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5946407655049490909/posts/default/947439403781378925'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5946407655049490909/posts/default/947439403781378925'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://triciaratliff.blogspot.com/2009/01/clouds-reflecting-in-coastal-lake.html' title='Clouds Reflecting in a Coastal Lake'/><author><name>Tricia Ratliff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10899759577462980142</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_DNwisrvL--M/SHqvXCr_TDI/AAAAAAAAAM4/XPjsIhyrrdY/S220/hot+details.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DNwisrvL--M/SyEDzhl00tI/AAAAAAAAA20/69-WsCIMDJw/s72-c/IMG_2691.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946407655049490909.post-26513025424188505</id><published>2009-12-10T06:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-31T11:19:39.099-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sky'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='learn to paint'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='clouds'/><title type='text'>Passionate Sky - My New Cloud and Skyscape series</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DNwisrvL--M/SyECJWLjhtI/AAAAAAAAA2s/sRaUXBedhwc/s1600-h/IMG_2690.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 233px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DNwisrvL--M/SyECJWLjhtI/AAAAAAAAA2s/sRaUXBedhwc/s400/IMG_2690.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413610586672170706" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This large painting ( 36 x 52 ) was finished this week.

Why not? It will be fun. We'll get together on a Saturday morning. Stay tuned for more details and e-mail me if you're interested. This won't be formally advertised.

The setup reminds me of summer days when my grandmother and I would go raspberry picking. We would walk through her garden toward the woods and emerge in a field of wildflowers on the other side. On our way to the raspberries, she stopped by the wildflowers and used her hand to lean a flower of queen anne's lace down where I could see it and explained to me in a poem that Queen Anne was an expert lace maker. She had carefully sewn this lace sitting with the ladies of the court. Just as it was done, the queen pricked her finger and a drop of blood fell in the center of the flower which still rests there today to remind us of the beauty of imperfection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because Queen Anne's Lace blooms when the berries are ripe in the summer, seeing this wildflower always reminds me of my grandmother and our walks past the garden and to the edge of the woods on host summer days which concluded with sugared berries over homemade vanilla ice cream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another Poem about Queen Anne's Lace:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by Leslie Newton&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Queen Anne, Queen Anne, has washed her lace&lt;br /&gt;(She chose a summer's day)&lt;br /&gt;And hung it in a grassy place&lt;br /&gt;To whiten, if it may.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Queen Anne, Queen Anne, has left it there,&lt;br /&gt;And slept the dewy night;&lt;br /&gt;Then waked, to find the sunshine fair,&lt;br /&gt;And all the meadows white.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Queen Anne, Queen Anne, is dead and gone&lt;br /&gt;(She died a summer's day),&lt;br /&gt;But left her lace to whiten in&lt;br /&gt;Each weed-entangled way!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5946407655049490909-14507175200203900?l=triciaratliff.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://triciaratliff.blogspot.com/feeds/14507175200203900/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5946407655049490909&amp;postID=14507175200203900' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5946407655049490909/posts/default/14507175200203900'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5946407655049490909/posts/default/14507175200203900'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://triciaratliff.blogspot.com/2009/09/queen-annes-lace-poetry-in-flowers.html' title='Queen Anne&apos;s Lace: Poetry in Flowers'/><author><name>Tricia Ratliff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10899759577462980142</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_DNwisrvL--M/SHqvXCr_TDI/AAAAAAAAAM4/XPjsIhyrrdY/S220/hot+details.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DNwisrvL--M/Spkfaon-C3I/AAAAAAAAAy8/fO1Fjg3-KoA/s72-c/IMG_1363.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946407655049490909.post-319969415851811565</id><published>2009-08-31T05:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-19T18:31:53.023-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daily paintings'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pears'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='how to paint'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='learn to paint'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='painting a day'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daily painter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='realism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='old master'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='grapes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='classical realism'/><title type='text'>Pears &amp;

The two paintings look very pretty side by side or one on top of the other. Put the red rose below the white rose and you'll have a sort of rose version of the "brady bunch" opening credits.
