"Zebra Look" Accepted into Explore This 8

2012-01-15T09:38:00.002-05:00

I was notified that this painting called "Zebra Look" was accepted into the Colored Pencil Society of America's annual international exhibit called "Explore This 8". This is an acrylic and colored pencil painting on illustration board. I completed this last year and entered it into the York Art Association's 41st annual Juried show and during the juring, it was declined. Then I entered it into the Hanover Area Arts Guild fall show and it won "Best of Show".
This is my second entry that was accepted into the Colored Pencil Society of America's show. The last one was in 2009 and it was called "Horse's in the Snow". Art competitions can be sometimes disappointing and also rewarding.

Oil

I have been working on this oil painting since November in between commissions and all my other activities and I have finally decided it was finished. I am not sure if I like the photo I have taken and might try to photograph it again. Painting wolves and foxes are similar to painting dogs so I challenge myself to try to paint them in their natural enviornment. Send inquires to charlotteswebart@comcast.net

This is an acrylic painting for a Christmas card design for my friend who breeds and shows Standard Schnauzers.

Acrylic and Colored Pencil

This Lake Tobias zebra did not want to turn around to get his picture taken but he kept his eye on me.

I am not too satisfied with the stripes-they made my eyes cross. I am trying acrylic with other mediums to get the detail I love to create.

Look for this guy on Fine Art America prints and cards.

My reference photo for this painting was one I took back in 1985 during a family picnic at my sister's home near Glenville. My daughter, Danielle with her older cousin Steve and her younger cousin, Bess. The wooded lot that their house sits on is surrounded by beautiful country farmland. This photo has been on my "have to paint" list for a long time and I am glad I finally took the time to paint it.

European Eagle Owl Colored Pencil by Charlotte Yealey

11x14

Colored Pencil

I love painting bird portraits and this one was a challenge. This European Eagle owl was on display at an outdoor event at Codorus State Park. He was very calm on his perch so I got a lot of photographs and decided to draw him in this position. I learned that owls eyes do not move in the socket like our eyes do but they can turn their head all around.

Hanover Area Arts Guild's first-annual show brings culture downtown.

By TIM STONESIFER The Evening Sun

Posted: 08/21/2011 01:00:00 AM EDT

Millie Noback, left, and Sharon Benner, volunteers with the Hanover Area Arts Guild, discuss a painting this week at the guild's Carlisle Street location in Hanover. The arts guild is currently displaying selected items from the group's first-annual regional juried art exhibition. (THE EVENING SUN - BRETT BERWAGER)

"Art Gallery," the sign says, and you yawn your way right past and down the street.
Or maybe you don't.
This time, maybe, you stop, turn and let yourself be drawn up through a door. And then you're not in downtown Hanover anymore.
You're at the beach, and you wriggle your toes in the sand. The scattered, shattered shells scratch under the soft soles of your feet as you walk, and waves of churning froth pull at the shore. You hold up a hand to shield a blinding sun.
Or maybe you're standing in a fire-lit living room in fall, silent among the lapping shadows. You watch as a grandmother's chest rises and falls, wan but warm there under an old patchwork couch quilt. Her blue-lined, wrinkled hand twitches against the wool.

More than 100 paintings by area artists were recently chosen and put on display after the Hanover Area Arts Guild's first juried art exhibition. The artwork will be on display in Hanover through Aug. 27. (THE EVENING SUN - BRETT BERWAGER)

Or maybe you're smack in downtown anywhere, sweat wet against your back. In front of you a black man is sprawled across a bench, his clothes torn in pieces, slumped down under a soiled hat that says "USA." Forgotten Christmas lights hug the tree next to him; police tape blinks in the breeze. The stories are as wide as imagination, said Charlotte Yealey, written on canvas or in clay.
And they're right here in Hanover, said the president of the Hanover Area Arts Guild, adding if you come downtown this month, you can see some of them, too.
That's because right now more than 125 pieces of artwork are on display at the guild's Carlisle Street home, after winners were recently chosen during the group's first-ever regional juried art show. The event saw a flood of more than 220 entries earlier this month from as far as Lancaster and Baltimore, Yealey said, with well-known Maryland artist Wasyl Palijczuk in charge of choosing the eventual display pieces that hang downtown now.
Winners were selected and a best of show award was given -- a painting of Koi fish by Joyce Durkin of Lancaster County -- and cash prizes were handed out to those who excelled.
But perhaps more important than that is the statement that initial

outpouring of paintings and other artwork made about the art scene in Hanover. "You see those newspaper articles about how there's no art, there's no culture in Hanover," Yealey said. "Well it's here. It's right here. And it's been here the whole time."
The arts guild was founded in Hanover in the late 1960s, by a group of local artists just looking to get together to paint and talk, to share their love for the arts and to try and spread the word locally. It began small, and it endured with the help of people like Yealey, who said she went to school for art and got away from painting for a time as she raised a family.
It wasn't long before she was back, though -- painting portraits of animals, mostly -- along with the other locals who had learned early on what it's like to see an artistic vision come to fruition, and to then have someone recognize it with praise or purchase.
Early guild meetings were held in the old Montgomery Ward building near Center Square, Yealey said, with membership growing and an eventual move to a spot on Baltimore Street near the old Kleffel's building there. More recently the group moved to a newer and larger site at 32 Carlisle St., she said, where artwork can be better displayed and to provide a now well-known home to local artists looking to learn.
"There's long been a lot of good art coming out of Hanover," she said.
But the artists certainly aren't the only ones to benefit. The guild's gallery is a boon to Hanover residents

Charlotte Yealey, president of the Hanover Area Arts Guild, speaks last week about the organization, which has been promoting the arts in Hanover since the 1960s. 'You see those newspaper articles about how there s no art, there's no culture in Hanover,' she said. 'Well it's here. It's right here. And it s been here the whole time.' (THE EVENING SUN - BRETT BERWAGER)

and anyone coming through downtown who's looking to stop off for a bit of culture, said Hanover Area Chamber of Commerce Marketing Director Melissa Speal. It's a quaint spot where it's easy to take a deep breath and get lost for a while. "When I first moved to the area I was unaware of the extent of the projects they do," she said. "But they really work closely with the schools and youth, and anyone can stop in and enjoy it."
And for a small downtown looking at a revitalization effort, Speal said, the splash of culture the guild brings to Hanover presents an invaluable draw.
"(Visitors) come back after a visit down there and just rave about the experience," she said.
Borough officials, too, have been singing the guild's praises

Millie Noback stands in the gallery of the Hanover Area Arts Guild on Carlisle Street in Hanover. The guild offers classes for young artists and is currently displaying art from its first juried art show. (THE EVENING SUN - BRETT BERWAGER)

recently, with the Borough Council considering a proclamation thanking the group for its hard work both with the show and through the years. "I think they should be applauded for all the things they do downtown," said Councilman Henry McLin. "This group has certainly long been a credit to our town."
Today the guild boasts more than 200 members, Yealey said last week, including some 150-plus local artists.
And organizers want to continue to encourage that history of growth, which is why they offer classes for young local artists, outreach programs to other local organizations and a solid presence in the downtown revitalization effort.
"It's always better to have minds focused in creative ways rather than destructive," Yealey said. "This is about spreading the word that art is good."
So the arts guild will look to build on past success. They'll offer even more instructional classes, and an annual art scholarship for one local artist. They'll remain a fixture in downtown events and the local arts scene.
And they'll keep proudly on display for most of the rest of this month 126 paintings and sculptures from area artists, for all to see and enjoy. Right here in downtown Hanover.
So stop in and see them, Yealey said, even if it's only for a minute. And even if a tour of the local art gallery isn't normally your idea of a fun side trip.
Because each framed scene or shaped mound of material is someone's work, she said, a person's story. Like that one there.
You look, and you're off again, awash in a warm breeze dancing with cottage curtains. A man leans back sleeping nearby as the afternoon wanes, a little dog curled on his broad chest, eyes shut, whimpering softly.
The tag beside that one reads, "Artist: Charlotte Yealey." It's her husband, Yealey says, painted from a picture taken one day as family children played nearby. That's what she was thinking about when she painted it.
But like any painting, she said, the rest of the rich detail is filled in only by those willing to look deep, those open to being suddenly, swiftly swept away.

IF YOU GO

More than 100 selected works of art from the Hanover Area Arts Guild's first-annual juried art show will be on display at the group's downtown art gallery, 32 Carlisle St., through Aug. 27. The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, except for Sundays, and is free to the public. For more information call 632-2521.

I have not posted for a while and it is not because I have'nt been painting but does anyone else get in a rut where you are not satisfied with anything you paint? Well that's where I was until I visited the Susquehanna Valley Plein Air painters while they were painting at Codorus Park near Hanover. It was a beautiful day when I left the gallery in Hanover and drove out to the lake and talked with the 4 artist at work. I should have took my paints but just had my camera and captured this Blue heron who stopped by to see what was going on. This one still needs some work.

Years ago while vacationing in Ocean City Maryland we drove to Assateague Island looking for the feral ponies. We stopped along the road to watch a pony graze along the road side but did not realize from behind our car came several ponies walking along side the road. It was a stallion with his mares and they passed right next to our car. What a great photo opportunity. This painting is of one of the mares.

Spring has sprung and of course, I am thinking puppies. This painting was done with the idea of a spring card design to add to my collection of seasonal cards. I remember this little guy trotting across my back yard following his young owner where ever she went as if he was trained to do so.

I just love puppies.

"Gigi and Loretta" Colored Pencil

2011-03-21T22:06:00.000-04:00

6x6

colored pencil

Most people that know me know I have dogs and my dogs are certified therapy dogs. I visit nearby nursing homes, adult day care centers and a local grade school with one of them each day for about an hour or more. One of my fond memories was when my Borzoi, GiGi, met Loretta, a resident of the Lutheran home in south Hanover. Loretta is blind and she loves dogs and always had them before living at the home. Like most blind people, her touch is the way she sees and when I walked up to her with GiGi she reached out and felt her face, over her ears and down her neck. GiGi, the wonderfully patient dog for a large breed, stood so still then gently sniffed Loretta's eyes as if to say "I know you are blind and I understand". To preserve that memory, I drew this in colored pencil.

Years ago, my neighbors two great danes escaped their property while no one was at home so I took a picture then took them back home. Another time, a different neighbors Jack Russell terrier was running free so I took a picture. He made it safely back home on his own. So I combined the two photos into a painting and called it "Running with the Big Boys".

While cleaning a collection of old bottles, my husband sat them in the kitchen sink. He filled them with water to soak out some of the dirt in them and when I walked into the kitchen and saw the overhead light on them, I had to take a picture. After viewing the photo on my computer, I had to do a painting.

This piece is coming along a lot better and I am finally getting the background to shape up with more layers. Colored pencil works can be frustrating because the multiple layers and the time involved but the medium is well worth it with results of great detail.

The background on a piece this size takes the majority of the time and this one has a large area of background. I concentrate very hard on keeping my pencil work even and a continuing flow of color coming from my pencil. The first layer on the background took an hour and then another hour to work on the face and hair.

My husband and I went to a "Docks Dog" event at Lake Marburg outside of Hanover and I took lots of photos of dogs and people. I was really intrigued with a couple that came to the edge of the lake with 8 dogs. The man walked 3 yellow labs on leashes and a mastif. The girl carried 3 chihuahuas and 1 dachshund. Another man with them had a professional looking camera and was taking their picture. Since I had a zoom lens on my camera, I could get a few shots from where I was sitting. When I saw this shot when I loaded on my computer, I had to do it in colored pencils. This is a shot when I first started the lake in the background and I will continue to post a shot after each hour of work.

I thought I would try a painting or drawing a day so I thought I would start with drawing from an old photo of my grandma that I have been wanting to do. Working on this off and on through out the day, it took me about 4 hours to do this. I'm not sure if I will be able to do this every day with my schedule and a few commissions I have to do but it is worth a try. I see work that I still need to do on this drawing but then it would not be a drawing a day.

"Mare and Foal" Colored Pencil by Charlotte Yealey

Colored Pencil

Due to a spring cold and procrastination, I finally finished one of several paintings I had been working on. I photographed horses near the Hanover Shoe Farms last year and I love this mare and her foal. I liked that she was a different color than her foal and I liked the way the trees looked in the photo in the background. The background took longer to do than the horses.

"Tulips" in Neocolors by CharlotteYealey

2010-03-10T11:30:00.005-05:00

10 1/2 x 8
"Tulips"
Neocolors
This is a painting I did for a demo at the "Art in the Garden" booth at the Mid Atlantic Garden show in York on Friday March 5. I chose to work in neocolors that day because it is a fun medium and easy to take along. When I teach children's workshops, the kids love this medium because they look like crayons but you can also paint with them. You apply the color and can even layer colors on the paper then use a wet watercolor brush to blend the colors. The amount of water you use on the brush determines the opaqueness or translucency of the painting. Here is another painting I did in neocolors.

8 x 8
Neocolors
I love the brilliant colors I can create on flowers with this medium.
