Robbin Pulver Artworks: February 2013

Tuesday, February 19, 2013

This painting "En Pointe" was entered into an Exhibit at the Hamilton Conservatory for the Arts, and the theme of the show was "Rhythm & Colour".This Painting has been SOLD, Private collection.

This painting is one that I started a long time ago, and kept putting it away. Had I started it now at this point in my career, I would have done it a little differently, but I really wanted to finish it the way I started it.It is available purchase.

This painting "Dancing in Your Dreams" was entered into an exhibit at the Hamilton Conservatory of the Arts, and the theme of the show was "Rhythm & Colour".

A Few New Paintings...

The butterfly painting, called "Five O'clock Shadow" was part of an exhibit at the Carnegie Gallery in Dundas that was themed as "Light & Shadow". This was from a photo that I took in the backyard of my uncle while we were visiting him. It is now currently on display in the McMaster Innovation Park Gallery until November 2013, and is available for purchase.

This painting was a commissioned piece that I did of the door knocker on a door at Durham Cathedral, England. Very Challenging, but a great piece to work on.

Reflections Behind the Birch Trees

Pink Magnolias and the Blue Door

This old doorway has been and inspiration for me as I've driven past it for years, and every spring this incredible Magnolia tree bursts open with these huge pink blossoms. Like the painting "Wisteria Doorway" that I did, this is also one of my favourite images. When the tree is blooming, it is almost impossible to see the front door, or much of the front of the house. Every spring I wait for this tree to bloom, because I know that there's no turning back, spring has arrived! This painting is acrylic on canvas, 16" x 20", and has been SOLD,Private collection.

Lavender Cottage

The World outside my Door

This Painting was a joy to paint. I love the open doors leading to the woods out back, I love the colours, and most of all I love the calico cat. I had a lovely (large, about 18lbs) calico cat for many years, named Maddy. She was very sweet and very shy, and would often just sit at our back door watching the world go by. Occasionaly she would venture out, but never very far, and never for very long, but when she did, she loved to lie in the sun. This painting is 16" X 20", acrylic on canvas, and has been SOLD, private collection.

Let the Colour Inside

This painting is of the view from my sister's bathroom window! I have painted 3 different paintings of this scene and this is the third version. She and her family,live in a wonderful old farmhouse in Eastern Ontario, and much like my old home, there is inspiration for paintings everywhere! She took a photo of this scene last fall when she was planning on re-painting the window frame, and when she showed it to me, I fell in love with it. It is 18" x 24" ", acrylic on canvas, and has been SOLD/Private collection.

The Light Inside

I love this painting for alot of reasons. I love it because of the mix of red colours that I used, and how the open door invites the viewer inside. The gold/brown colours inside the house give off a feeling of warmth. The black and white cat is also special to me as we had a sweet little cat named Charlie for 20 years who greeted everyone at our door. This painting is currently part of a group show at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, and will be on display there until March 22nd, 2009. It is 14" x 20", acrylic on canvas, and has been SOLD, private collection.

October Wolf

This is a painting that I did loosely based on one of my dogs as a model. She is actually a beautiful large German Shepherd, and although she does have some silver and tan markings, her face is completely black. I have had so many people stop me over the years, and ask me me if she is a wolf, partly because of her size and long legs and because of her markings. I love fall colours, and we do so much walking in the woods with our dogs, and because she is so dark, I thought these colours would create a dramatic painting.This painting is actually not for sale, as one of my sons fell in love with it, and it is hanging in his room.
