text-align: left;">WELCOME TO 2020! Thank you so much for stopping by to check out my art at this weekend's Volcano Village Artists Hui Art Sale! As expected, 2020 has been full of challenges and changes that none of us expected. In that vein of unexpected changes, I'd like to share with you my original artcards that I've done recently (and not so recently). These capture scenes from around the islands, including native Hawaiian bird and plant species. Artcards are tiny pieces of art that are only 2.5" x 3.5" ... the size of a baseball card. They are shipped using a thick protective plastic sleeve, or, if you wish, I can mat and frame them as well for an additional cost of $30. See pricing at the bottom of each image. Check out an example of a framed piece, below. While the art is small, when framed, it is a piece that definitely stands out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">FOR MORE ART, SCROLL BELOW ... I also have oil paintings, larger watercolors, and colored pencil drawings available as well down below. I hope you're not too disappointed that I do not have as many oil paintings that I would usually have available at the Art Hui sale but please know that <u>there will be many opportunities to buy original Hawaiʻi and Volcano-themed oil paintings throughout the year </u>(so sign up to receive notifications)! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">HOW TO BUY ... <u>All pieces are available on a first come, first served basis.</u> Send me an email at joanyoshioka[at]gmail[dot]com and let me know which painting or drawing you'd like, indicating the ID number and title of the work and provide a phone number. I will notify you via email if the work is still available (I'll mark the image as "pending" if someone has requested it). After we decide how you'd like to receive the piece, I will send you a PayPal invoice via email. Once the work is paid for, I'll ship it to you within 5 days. For oil paintings, expect delivery within 2-3 weeks to allow for dry time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">HOW TO BUY OTHER ART PIECES ... Send me your email address at joanyoshioka[at]gmail[dot]com and I will add you to my "Special Clients" mail list and will inform you when I've posted a new painting for sale. Throughout the year, I'll be giving away note cards and prints so it would be worth signing up! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Thanks for visiting my blog. This year's 2020 Volcano Village Artist's Hui Art Sale will be a little different as the Hui artists are showing their works in various ways, by appointment or via online stores or websites. I'll be a guest artist again and am so grateful to the Hui for the invitation. They are an amazing group of artists and I hope you'll consider supporting them. Please check them out on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/volcanoarthui/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/volcanoarthui/">@volcanoarthui</a>) and consider following them. I'm on Instagram too (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/joanyoshioka/">@joanyoshioka</a>)! <a href="https://www.instagram.com/joanyoshioka/">I'd be stoked if you follow me too</a>!</p><p>This year, you'll be able to purchase my artwork via this blog. I will be posting my artwork on <span style="color: #fff2cc;">Friday, 11/27/2020 at 10:00 am</span><span style="color: #2b00fe;"> </span>and they will be available on a <span style="color: #fff2cc;">first come, first served basis</span>. Please send me an email at <span style="color: #fff2cc;">joanyoshioka@gmail.com</span> if you'd like to buy a piece. I will email you an invoice via PayPal (with or without shipping) and once it's paid, I will make arrangements for you to pick it up or send it to you via snail mail.</p><p>I will have original oil and watercolor paintings for sale, some will be small works (2.5" x 3.5", the size of a baseball card) and others a bit larger. I won't have as many works available this year so if you would like, please email me and request to be put on my email list and throughout the year, I will let you know when I post new artwork for sale on my blog. Or, feel free to subscribe to my blog posts by entering your email address (in the right side column) and FeedBlitz will notify you whenever I post something new. That way, you'll have the first chance to buy any new artwork!</p><p>If you're interested in pet commissions, please check out my earlier post, linked <a href="https://drawingonnature.blogspot.com/2018/06/pet-portraits-available.html">here.</a> Lucky for you, the prices haven't changed! :D</p><p>Please stay safe out there. Yes, these are strange and uncertain times, for sure, but I hope you find true blessings every day. I am so grateful for your support of my lifelong love of art as a guest artist with the annual Volcano Village Artist's Hui Studio Tour and Art Sale the last few years. I came to art rather late in life, lacking the confidence when I was younger. But, I always loved looking at art, dreamed about art, loved creating art, and always wished to be good enough someday that someone would want to buy my art. Thank you all for allowing me to live my dream and I hope that my art gives you as much joy as you've all given me! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!</p><p>With love and appreciation,</p><p>Joan :) </p>Joan Yhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00500271748314374941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3286489686197113226.post-41206606377203429422019-12-21T11:27:00.002-10:002019-12-21T11:39:26.879-10:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Some pieces from the 2019 Volcano Village Artists Hui Studio Tour and Art Sale. I'd like to extend a BIG MAHALO to those of you that bought original paintings, giclees, and notecards. I am forever grateful for you because your support allows me to continue to do what I love and share a bit of Volcano with others. For those of you that came by to say hello, it was so nice to meet you and chat awhile. I look forward to seeing you all again next year! </div>

These are actually really cute comets in my brother's pond, so not as large as koi, although I have a feeling they'd get as big if left to their own devices. The reflections on the pond was really fun to do, including using vibrant colors as they appeared in real life! This one is for sale so if you're interested in seeing it in person, please join us at the Volcano Village Artists Hui Studio Tour and Sale, November 29, 30, December 1. :D</div>

Come and visit us at Emily Herb's studio on Keonelehua Rd; Volcano Village (Hawaii); November 29-Dec. 1, 2019; 10 am - 4 pm for the annual Volcano Village Artists Hui Studio Tour and Sale. I'll be there as a guest artist, with Charlotte Forbes Perry too. I'll have new oil paintings, giclee prints, and notecards and Charlotte will have stained glass and beautiful ceramics that are uniquely Hawaiian. Emily's home and studio is in the heart of Volcano Village and she'll have her gorgeous ceramics featuring native birds and animals. If you're a die-hard fan of Emily's, you know she will have her seconds on the table on the back porch so come early to get the best bits. We'll even have demonstrations throughout the day so you can see how we create our art. Homemade chocolates will also be on sale to keep your artistic and gastronomic appetite satiated! You can pick up a map to the studios from any of the stores in Volcano; get a stamp from each studio to enter to win great prizes! The sale is a great place to get one-of-a-kind gifts from local artists!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hmmm, I think it's time to get an easel. This 11"x14" painting is propped up against my computer, where I'm painting <i>Cymbidium</i> flowers that were growing in my garden. My favorite are these green orchids and my friends know it because that's what I get for Birthdays and Christmases! Someday, my garden will be filled with these!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After painting mostly 5"x7", this canvas is HUGE! This is the largest canvas I have ever painted on and is my attempt to prepare myself for the 18"x24" commission I am going to work on soon. As you can tell from my #3 sable brush that I'm holding here, I haven't grown to larger brushes yet. It's amazing what you can do with such a tiny brush! I will no doubt start using my larger brushes for future paintings. It is a process after all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was able to pull out my favorite colors ... Alizarin crimson, Quinacridone red, Cadmium yellow pale, Sap green, Phthalo green (a new color to hit my palette ... which I now love), French ultramarine, Cobalt blue, Burnt Sienna, Burnt umber, Payne's Gray (and yes, a little of that Mars black), and Titanium white. I can't believe the spectrum of colors I can make with this palette and while this painting is mostly green, I look forward to placing vibrant newly created colors throughout the painting. Wish me luck!</div>

This pet commission of Lula, a beautiful Boston Terrier, was ready for the holidays! :D This was a fun one to paint because Lula's pose perfectly illustrates her personality, which is the basis of any good portrait. This one is a small portrait so I used my #3 Rosemary and Co. red sable bright brush (I typically will use only one brush for the entire painting, especially these small ones). As with all of my oil paintings, I used mostly Winsor and Newton Artist's Oil Colour and some Gamblin and Daniel Smith oils. I've been trying my hand using Galkyd and was pleasantly surprised to find how quickly the paints dried. I'm still worried about the application of the fat over lean principles with this new medium but I guess it will take quite a bit of trial and error to figure it out.</div>

This one is hot of the easel! It's still drying and I hope to have it available at this weekend's Volcano Village Artist Hui Studio Tour and Art Sale, starting Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, from 10 am - 4 pm and running until Sunday. Stop by <a href="http://www.apapanepottery.com/" target="_blank">Emily Herb's studio</a> on Kenoelehua and visit with Emily, Charlotte Forbes Perry, and me! Emily will have her beautiful native plant and animal-inspired ceramics and guest artist Charlotte will have her ceramic native species trivets, ceramic ornaments, stained glass, and surprise ceramic pieces. I'll have original artwork (as seen on this blog), giclee prints, and notecards! We are all inspired by the plants and animals that surround us in the Village and hope to share with you our love of them through our artwork. </div>

"Daud-vis" ... or Dodvis, is the field code for <i>Dodonaea viscosa</i> (`a`ali`i), the first three letters of the genus and first three letters for the species. Botanists tend to speak in code because who has time to pronounce each syllable of a scientific name anyway?! For example, "Met-paul" for Metpol or <i>Metrosideros polymorpha</i> (`ōhi`a) ... "Sib-glah" for Cibgla or <i>Cibotium glaucum</i> (hapu`u), etc. So, if we ever meet and I happen to speak plant gibberish to you, remind yourself that you're talking to a botanist who spends too much time with plants. :)</div>

This `a`ali`i is a small shrub that grows in the area I live. The fruit, painted here, are winged papery fruit with tiny black seeds inside. They are pretty iconic and you can see them readily when you visit Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park.</div>

This closeup of a branch was fun to paint because sunlight could be seen back-lighting the fruit so I was able to use a variety of saturated colors .... alizarin red, cadmium red deep, cadmium orange, cadmium yellow pale to capture the light. The shadows was achieved mixing the colors with its complement, for example, I mixed the reds with sap green or ultramarine blue to achieve a more rich shadow. The highlights were achieved using titanium white with a variety colors. While it looks like I might have used pure white, it was never the case in this painting.</div>

I had been walking through the kipuka along the east-facing slopes of Mauna Loa a couple weeks ago and was struck by the lushness of the flora. We were literally enveloped by h<span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">ā</span>pu`u (tree ferns, <i>Cibotium glaucum</i>) and other endemic ferns. `Apapane, `i`iwi, `amakihi, and `oma`o were calling all around us. I needed that time to be immersed in nature and I couldn't help but grin from ear to ear because it is exactly where I needed to be. It is where my heart will always be and I feel the most at home in it. It was hard to leave that day but I wanted to paint something to remind me of that very special place.</div>

The challenge in painting this scene was deciding where the focal point would be and by using hue, value, chroma, and sharpness, the journey your eyes would take through the painting. I don't know if I'm very successful in this painting but I did try. If you squint, you can see what I mean. It's hard not to notice the `apapane, which has the highest chroma (saturation) and then the highlights on the fern fronds are meant to draw you from the left to the right of the painting, down to the bottom right, where you end in a deep shadow, where it's a bit suspenseful because there's only a hint of what's under those fronds. Or maybe it doesn't matter. I hope you enjoy it anyway!</div>

This is an ode to the roosters that have moved in down the street. I don't mind their crowing so much but it's probably because they aren't next door. Huge wattles, yes? And that comb sits on his head like a crown! This is the kind of rooster that is the king of his neighborhood!</div>

I chose complementary colors for this one. It's a fairly large painting (the largest size that I've done so far) but I was able to do most of it in one sitting. Most people may not notice that I tend to use the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-on-wet" target="_blank">alla prima</a> or wet-on-wet method, which presents challenges when I pile the paint on. If I fuss with it too much, the colors get muddied and I just create a puddled mess. In this case, I embraced it and used bold strokes and laid down the colors fairly quickly, then finished it with details by pushing the paint about. I've noticed that most people that use the alla prima method paint fairly painterly. In my case, I try to infuse as much detail by moving the paint about with my brush, leaving the brightest highlights for last in which I place on top of the wet paint with a very small "0" brush. Most of my small paintings take between 4 and 8 hours. I came back to it a couple days later to lighten up the feathers of the rooster and decided to leave the black feathers unsaturated (i.e. grayish), which I think gives is a more realistic look, as if they were "feathered in" with the white ones.</div>

`Ōhelo, oil on canvas, 10"x8" (<span style="color: red;">SOLD</span>)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: center;">`Ōhelo or <i>Vaccinium </i></span><i>reticulatum</i> is probably my favorite Hawaiian plant. The fruit are usually tart, sometimes sweet and comes in a variety of colors from yellow, orange, red, to purple. This species is a cousin of blueberries and like blueberries are collected for pies and jam. But, in Hawai`i, we first ask for permission to pick and in reverence, offer the fruit to Pele, the Goddess of Fire, before picking some for ourselves. And, we always leave lots of fruit on the bushes for nene (Hawaiian geese) and other native birds.<br />
<br />
I've been choosing to paint on larger canvases and this one is 10"x8", which means changing my painting style to larger brushes, larger brushstrokes, and getting used to a larger drying time. It has also meant making more conscious decisions on areas to keep sharp and distinct and areas to push back into the distance. It is easier to fudge that with smaller pieces. Painting larger also has meant needing to step back from the painting from time to time to to take in the whole painting where I just held it at arm's length when painting much smaller pieces. It's a learning process, isn't it? Maybe my next step will be to purchase an easel so I can paint even larger!<br />
<br />
My favorite part of this piece, besides painting the luscious fruit, was adding the red and green leaves. I used a myriad of colors for this piece, sometimes leaning toward the cool cerulean blue and sometimes toward the warmer cadmium red. I love painting with complementary colors!Joan Yhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00500271748314374941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3286489686197113226.post-85595864111476832772018-11-10T19:59:00.001-10:002018-11-10T20:00:51.800-10:00Kilauea Iki<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She had a wonderful life and lived to a ripe old age. She'd always greet me at the door with such excitement that she'd always pee! Like her own family, she knew she had my heart. </span></div>

She was a smart one and would be tempted to jump on me when I fed her when her family was away but she didn't ... she just held her two arms up like she was dancing! That always made me laugh. She's truly missed.</span></div>

The Volcano Village is abuzz with activity as the Village artists are preparing for the annual studio tour and art sale. If you're free Thanksgiving weekend, please join us in the Village (see the map below). I'll be at Emily Herb's studio as a guest artist and will have some new paintings, like those I've featured here on my blog. There will be original artwork and prints to fit any budget!</div>

If you aren't already a fan of Emily Herb's, you will be! Her amazing ceramics feature native birds and plants and are always simply gorgeous! Visiting her studio is like visiting a museum ... where you can buy the artwork! Charlotte Forbes Perry, another guest artist, will have beautiful one-of-a-kind ceramic tiles and stained glass pieces ... including other ceramic surprises. Charlotte is a biologist at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park so you can bet she has a special connection to her subjects.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Visit all of the artists in the Hui and get a stamp on your postcard at each studio and turn them in for a chance to win a piece of artwork from one of the Hui artists or guest artists! Postcards will be available at each studio.</div>

Hope to see you all in Volcano soon!</div>

Some paintings take a year ... Yup, I started this one in November of last year and set it aside after the initial blocking in. It's a view of my backyard, from the view of my "studio" so I knew I would be able to get back to it because I see this view every day. The ʻapapane (red native honeycreeper birds) outside were calling from the same trees so I took at as a calling back to the painting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I havenʻt decided whether to paint in the birds or leave it as is. What do you think? Does this need a spot of red?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Please excuse the highlights. The painting is still wet. </div>

Crunchy sweetness is about all I can say about these persimmons! Their lovely shades of yellow to almost reddish orange made these great subjects for my little painting. <img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" /></div>
