Bahamas Passage by Phyllis O'Shields Artist Contemporary Impressionism

BAHAMAS PASSAGE EARLY MORNING PEACE 
by Phyllis O'Shields Artist, Contemporary Impressionism

Oil on Canvas  16 x 20 x .5 museum wrapped canvas painted around edges

This plein air painting was done early one spring morning in the Bahamas, it could have been painted on any of the islands. The morning's brief rain had just cooled off the air and one could still smell the rain.


Although a small painting 16 x 20 this will be used as a study for a larger painting.

One can only believe the clear light blues and greens of the water by being there to experience it. I hold painting workshops in the Bahamas twice a year. Presently I am taking request for inclusion in the November Artist Painting Workshop held in Nassau, Bahamas. The workshop will include pastels and oils painted en plein air over 5 days.

For more information on the Bahamas, Nassau and the Out Islands  please visit: Bahamas

Florida Everglades Evening Solice Oil Phyllis O'Shields Artist Contemporary Impressionism

Florida Everglades Evening Solice

24 x 36  Original Oil on Canvas - 

Gallery Wrapped Canvas painted around edges

copyright 2010 POShields

Evening approaching in the Everglades is one of the most peaceful times of the day. Birds rush about catching the last rays of sun or their last evening meal.

The Everglades sky changes colours constantly as the light filters through the last clouds left over for the day after the daily afternoon rain. Early morning or late afternoon are my favorite times to paint in the Everglades. This oil painting required many layers of glazes to achieve the glowing tones of colour present. I love painting the Everglades and all Marsh Eco Systems with wide open vistas, there is a feeling that you can see forever.
These fragile systems are critical to preserve in their natural state for all wildlife.

Hawaii Seascape Beach Oil Phyllis O'Shields Contemporary Impressionism

Hawaii Seascape Beach

A private Hawaiian Beach tucked away, everyone who lives in Hawaii has one special spot. This is mine.

Aloha and Hele Mai,

This is the place that I always go back to when I take time to relax and commune with nature, take part in a little introspection and revitalize my soul with the inspiration nature provides for future paintings. Living in Hawaii for a few years and now visiting there every year to paint renews my earliest memories that connect me to nature.

I always discover something beneath the surface In Hawaii , emotions tied to the subject matter are an elusive part of art. Every viewer will in their own personal context recreate this special emotion making the painting their own experience

Koi in Hawaii Pastel Phyllis O'Shields Contemporary Impressionism

Koi are the Image of Serenity and Peace. "
Pastel painted en plein air Oahu, Hawaii

http://www.oshieldsfineart.com/ please visit for more Koi images
Studio 704.394.7382

The history of Koi is as mysterious as they are beautiful. Popular conviction would have us believe that Koi are indigenous to Japan. In fact, they are even mistakenly called “Japanese Goldfish” They are actually from the Carp family.

Koi are believed to originate from eastern Asia, in the Black, Caspian, Aral Seas and China. Carp fossils have been discovered in South China dating as far back as 20 million years ago. Some varieties are known for their hardiness, which records claim can live for long periods of time if simply wrapped in wet moss continuously kept damp.

The earliest written records of Koi, or Nishikigoi, (Japanese for "brocaded" carp) were first described in writing from a Chinese book written during the Western Chin Dynasty, around 265-316 A.D. At that time they were described as white, red, black and blue.

Koi are believed to have been introduced to Japan with the invading Chinese and a first account of them being kept by an emperor in Japan, apparently dates Back to AD 200.

I hope you enjoy these images of Koi. I paint them en plein air from beautiful ponds in Hawaii.
