I am so excited to tell you that in partnership with Jerry's Artist Outlet in West Orange, NJ we have created a NEW Lisa Palombo's Oil Painting Art Kit! Click here and go to "Lisa Palombo's Oil Painting Art Kit" link on top of the page to see list.

Come join us this February and March in my studio for two paintings workshops; a consecutive three day workshop in February and my Saturday painting class in March.

Thursday in the Presby Garden with Lisa

I was painting all day at the Presby Garden. What a wonderful plein air trip! The irises are almost fully bloomed. I huge difference from two days ago.

When I got back to my studio a very gracious lady had emailed me this photo, entitled, "Thursday in the Presby Garden with Lisa." Thank you Emily K.!
I am already looking forward to my next plein air excursion at the Presby Memorial Gardens again next week on Tuesday, May 26th.

Painting in Progress - White Peonies

Painting in progress, "White Peonies" 48"x60."

I woke up the other day with the feeling, I need to paint large! So why not paint white peonies this way. They are so rewarding to paint, especially the white ones in my garden. White flowers have so much reflective light and so I love to put as much color in them as possible.

Stay tuned to see the progress on this big canvas.

Studio Photos

We recently took photos of my spacious studio gallery for our 2009 brochure. I am a truly happy artist when I paint in my studio. I have the all important coveted north light when working on my easel and lots of nature to watch out my windows. For those of you who are ever in the Northern NJ area, please feel free to make a studio visit. We are located 30 minutes from NYC.

China Blue and Citrus

"China Blue and Citrus," oil on linen, 24"x 20"

Here it is! The finished piece, "China Blue and Citrus" (24"x20").

I had so much fun painting this one. As you can see, I spent hours loosing myself in painting the vase. I like it so much that I am featuring it on my Holiday Open Studio invitation.

The original is already sold. Two of my favorite collectors had seen it half finished on my easel and they said,"We need to have it!"

Luckly, it will reproduce beautifully into a fine art reproduction print on canvas. So look for it on my PRINT page shortly. www.lisapalombo.com/PRINTS.html.

Painting in process, Detail

I just couldn't wait to show you my latest painting, even if, it is only a detail of a painting in progress with no title yet. It is about half finished, so stay tuned to see the final peice. I will post it on my blog when it's done. I also plan on showcasing it at my annual Holiday Open Studio (Nov 22nd & 23rd).
