Mainsite Contemporary Art presents the Works of O. Gail Poole


Brass Pot with Plumbs and Oriental Pot by O.Gail Poole
I am happy to announce that O. Gail Poole’s work is in exhibit at the MAINSITE in Norman September 10th – October 30th, 2010.
Connections by O.Gail Poole
O. Gail Poole is a resident of Norman, Oklahoma where he enjoys painting. For several decades, this Marlow, Oklahoma native has won numerous awards starting with his earlier work as an illustrator. This master’s range in subject matter and technique is grand, bringing to life landscape, still lifes, and portraits in oil and pastels along with fantastical artworks and sculptures.
Taos Ruin by O.Gail Poole
Poole says that it is the world around him that inspires his artwork. This is especially apparent in his landscapes, where he records his experiences of the places he has traveled, bringing to us lands on panels. In his still lifes, Poole infuses color and form to create vibrant paintings that glow with sumptuousness.

Selfportrait by O. Gail Poole
Poole is part of a circle of American contemporary master artists, that also includes Mark Daly, David Leffel and Sherrie McGraw, among others that continue to produce commendable art.

    Carolina, thanks so much for this article! Dad's show went beautifully and he sold quite a number of paintings. I have to re-work his website, but there are a great number of photos there if people want to take a gander. http://www.ogailpoole.com.

    Also, kudos to you for your artistic pursuits. I'm a fledgling painter myself and it is really inspiring to me. Keep up the good work!

    All the best,
    Nicole Poole

Labor of Love

Sunflowers in Cobalt Blue Vase,   Oil on 5 "x7"   Linen Panel SOLD  Private Collection in San Saba, TX First, I must say that everything I paint is because I absolutely love. I don't like to paint things that I don't find to be attractive to me for one reason or another. Sometimes it's sentimental reasons and other times it's as simple as beautiful colors or the texture. Either way, it's something that I want to capture and stare at for long periods of time. I want to study it and how it affects the environment around it, as in the case of Sunflowers in Cobalt Blue Vase does. In that respect, I feel ALL my paintings are a labor of love.  More often than not, I have to create a painting, wipe it all down, and start all over again if something is just not working. Some never get completed and I just end up painting something totally different on that panel. Then there are some, that I just have to paint, no matter how much trouble they are giving ...

A bit more Flow Blue (or Flo Blue)

Pink Roses in Flow Blue,   Oil on 6 "x6"   Linen Panel SOLD Private Collection in  Langhorne, PA  School is about to start again and it seems when it does the Holidays are close by and time goes faster. I decided this week I would "make" things go a little slower to get myself to relax. I get a lot of inspiration from so many other blogs, for my home and for my art. So, I went to several blogs that I've loved for so long, but really got to stay for a while. It was absolutely indulging--I wish I could do that more often.  There are times when I "have to" paint a certain item and I search and search as it nags at me until I find it. That was the case with the snap dragons below. I was thrilled to find them after most of June and July searching for them. I think they are perfect with the pink carnations. Although I am also working on a painting that is just the snap dragons. I did have to go a bit bigger than my usual paintings...
