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.

When Life is Better Than Your Dreams

Pink Zinnia with Bowl, 4"x6" Oil on linen panel Sold This post is dedicated to the love of family. In fact, the zinnia in the painting above is from my mother's garden. I believe I've mentioned my visit to a local used book store where I found a task/secretary chair that I fell in love with and thought it would be the perfect studio chair. I fell so hard for that chair that for the first time in my life I had, not one, but two dreams about The Chair, of all things. Anyways, I asked the book store owner if she was willing to sell it. She, of course said "no," since she also loved the chair so. Robert and my parents, who always work hard at making my dreams come true, helped me search the world over for this task/secretary/soon-to-be-studio chair. Robert searched the overwhelming virtual thrift store, also known to some as the World Wide Web; my parents asked some of their clients and searched actual thrift stores; and I would stop and glance at ...

Alla Prima Oil Paintings for July

Yellow Miniature Roses, 4"x6" Oil on Linen I hope you have had a great summer. I've started teaching again and have been working hard at sneaking in painting time. This painting of yellow roses is my first alla prima oil painting. Having only a few minutes here and there allowed for painting, my still life props tend to go bad before I get a chance to finish a painting. I thought this was the perfect time to practice a painting in only a few minutes. This one I gave myself fifteen minutes to paint. Later I will post some that took me about thirty minutes. I had so much fun, that I know I will try it again. Comice Pear with Silver Cup, 5"x7" Oil on Linen sold This one and the one below are a different story. I have been working on them for about a week, off and on. They are finally done and I feel pretty pleased with them. The pears are from back yard, from a pear tree my dad planted years ago. This year we got a few more pears that in the past. Comice P...
