| "Downtown, Where Everyone Meets" Original acrylic painting, 24 x 36, framed. "City Sites, Urban Delights" Laura Reilly Show and Sale at Soiree Events and Celebrations One of my new cityscape paintings - this is downtown Colorado Springs, looking south on Tejon St., to the corner of Colorado Avenue and Tejon. It seems like you always run in to someone you know downtown - or we're heading there to meet someone for lunch or breakfast. I love all the little details in these city scenes - there's so much to discover in them. Do you see the "walk now" figure, and the french flag, the cafe tables, and the right turn arrow? There's a lot more to find to - including my favorite thing, juicy bold brushstrokes. My Website My Workshops and Classes Find Me On Facebook Find Me On Pinterest |

Autumn's Shining Path original oil painting by Laura Reilly
SOLD
"Autumn's Shining Path"
original oil on gessoed panel
12" x 6" x 3/8" - painting continues around sides for a beautiful finish.
I've started something new for 2012, and am having so much fun with it! I am now a member of Daily Paintworks, and have joined the "painting a day" artists' movement - a new, small original oil painting created about every day, and posted to this wonderful art-only auction site. This is something I've wanted to do for a long time - as you may know, I have always been charmed by the magic of small things. There's a special intimacy to the scale of smaller paintings, and also a significant challenge for the painter - can a small work of art be as compelling or dramatic or moving as something created on a larger scale? Also, as an avid art collector myself, I can always find a spot for another small gem! Enjoy!

Breezy Poppies original impressionist oil painting by Laura Reilly
SOLD
"Breezy Poppies" - a little memory of summer, to brighten the winter days.
original oil painting on panel, 8" x 8" x 3/8" -
painting continues around sides for a beautiful finish.
Each season has it's own gifts, and winter is no exception. It's a great time to be in the studio, re-visiting subjects and locations from earlier in the year, in new ways. I have a chance to explore nuances of color and expression that painting on location doesn't allow.
In this painting I used the brush and paint to express the
lightness of spirit I feel when I see poppies in bloom.

"Flowering Quince", original impressionist oil painting by Laura Reilly
"Flowering Quince", oil original, 6" x 6", gold frame
It seems like we all make things harder than they have to be. In my case, what to say about this painting? Thinking of how it came to be - Rheta's wonderful "cheese sandwich", with great conversation on the side, the glorious coral-colored quince in full bloom in her garden, how gardener's share plants, and tips, and meanings and nuances and stories - just like writers and artists, poets and friends and family. and, of course the painting speaks for me, and says all of that and more.
What do you make "harder than it has to be"???!!
Your comments are appreciated - thank you!

Last week, I had the great pleasure to visit Tony’s Happy Apple Orchard in Penrose, Colorado, with the Pikes Peak Plein Air Painters - a very cool spring morning, but all was lovely. This painting was completed on location in the orchard, with the delicate scent of the blooming apple trees filling the air. A great day to be alive, and to be a painter!
