Art Under the Oaks

I was fortunate to participate in Art Under the Oaks show this year in Livermore. It was so beautiful, and I met so many other amazing artists. I also saw some friends from another show I do in Danville each October called Art in the Park! I really enjoyed myself and the show went so good.

Here was the set up:

I had quite a bit of original art this year, and a lot of smaller pieces. I had no idea that they would be so successful and it was so much fun to see someone find just what they were looking for and purchase it from ME! I felt honored to have my artwork placed in so many homes.

Cheers to Trio's

These are two more finished pieces inspired by my Trio theme. The thing I love about trio's is that it almost moves my artwork into that photography category where you see several different shots of the same image. Also, you can mix and match the subject or order of things around your house.

Puzzle Pieces

2008-06-13T15:53:00.000-07:00

I have always loved the look of Diptych paintings. I even went through a phase where it was all that I painted. Inspired by that idea, I have moved into a puzzle phase. Tiny little paintings pieced together to form one image. This adds so much more variety to your artwork. It also allows the owner of the artwork to change the order of the canvases however they would like. This can easily create a more contemporary and modern feel, even if the subject is quite traditional.

"Landscape Puzzle"

Four 6 x 6 canvases forming one image

"Lime"

"Citrus Morning"

City Scene

2008-05-22T10:31:00.001-07:00

These three tiny paintings were inspired of the San Francisco Area. Two images of the Golden Gate bridge and one of Coit Tower. Because both have so much History to them I wanted an aged look. They started out Black and White and very modern. Just adding some rustic detail and vintage tones brought more depth and meaning to these tiny city treasures.

Acrylic
Subject: Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower, San Francisco

Fruity Inspirations

2008-05-21T18:46:00.000-07:00

These 3 paintings were inspired by fruit. Grape-fruit to be exact. The rich colors, the citrus juice, the texture, the smell. I wanted to try and capture all of that into a set of paintings. I think I am craving a citrus drink from Jamba Juice. Anyone else?

Title: "Citrus Delight"

Set of three 8 x 8 canvases

Acrylic

Subject: grapefruit

Elegant Flair

2008-03-05T10:00:00.000-08:00

Acrylic Painting 40 x 30

It had been a long time since I had actually been inspired to paint something specific. Some of the time I just start something, and see where it takes me. But I had a specific idea in mind for this piece of artwork. I was starting to be inspired by the upcoming Spring, and from all of the contrast of the Winter, and I wanted it to be a large piece that would really make a "statement".

I named it "Elegant Flair". I think it is a timeless piece, hence the "elegant", and the contrast and little bit of color add flair to this simple creation.

About the Artist

2008-03-04T14:52:00.000-08:00

With the change of the seasons, it inspired me to start fresh. Welcome to my fine art Blog!

I have been a creative wonder since I was born. My works are about texture and vibrant color, often referred to as mixed-media. I discovered my love for art as a young girl, and have been professionally painting for about 10 years. Since the birth of my daughters, my creative hobbies have included jewelry design, and graphic art as well.

My love for the simple things in life has changed my designs dramatically over the years. I noticed that often the more simple the design, the more people can relate to the feelings that come with it. I am often inspired by my two small daughters who have brought so much energy to both my life and to my artwork.

A little more about "me":

My married name is Leisa Waldron, but I still paint under my maiden name of Laney. As a little girl, I was always coming up with new ideas and projects to express myself creatively. I have had to opportunity to sell paintings and images all over the country. I have also had my work shown and sold in galleries, wineries, and through custom design. I have been painting from my home studio for eight years under my artist name of Laney. I love anything and all things creative, but this site will focus on my true artistic love of painting.

The subject matter and style in which I paint today differs greatly from what I learned while in college studying graphic and fine art. After studying all of the mathematical aspects of art, I knew what I loved most about creating was to make something of my own. I have learned that I love the simple things in life, and that can be seen in my finished works today.

My studio is out of my home in the San Francisco East Bay, California.
