I plan to post current paintings on my blog site. I'm not much of a writer but I do love to paint. I do oils and pastels and I teach workshops. I plan to sometimes post demos and talk about how to create a painting as well.

Artist Magazine Competition
Happy to announce that "Heading Down the Road" is a finalist in the Artist Magazine's 30th Annual Art Competition
oooooooh that gorgeous light, Aline!!! A beautiful painting and CONGRATULATIONS for being a finalist in the Artist Magazine's 30th Annual Art Competition!!! You certainly deserve it...
Aline! You just might end up with a Grand Slam this year! The Impressionist Competition, Artist Magazine, let's see--will you be in Pastel 100 & maybe the PSA show in NY? Why not? You're work is great enough to win them all!
I love this painting, & not simply because it has 'Aline Coral' in it. As Hilda says, the light coming in from that unexpected angle is arresting. It makes your coral POP.
I relish the ease of your work, Aline. It's very restful & looks as though you never struggle to achieve your lovely effects. You 'suggest' everything & leave it to the viewer to participate in the work. I get to resolve the trees & distant hills & interpret shadows, etc.
You also manage to always have a 'story' in your landscapes, too. Where is this farm, where the heck IS everyone? Aha. It's sunset, the workday is over--they're inside, closing down, washing up, setting the table. There's a sense that life is going on in all your paintings. Folks are tanning on beaches, clothes are drying on lines, blue & red cows are wondering how they got that way...
The stories are always intriguing & the paintings are always masterful. I surely hope you WIN. But who cares, really? If you can produce art like this, you don't need awards to tell you you're fantastic. Though it IS nice... L&K, MaryB
Thank you Mary! Finalist is the end of the competition...one of these days I hope to win where you get a photo of the work in the magazine. You imbue my work with may more than it has! Thank you and if I ever create a book you can write it!!
