Here we are, December and a new post.. I won't mention my intentions of increasing my post numbers here, but I just did. Welp I won't go on about it at least!<br />
<br />
This painting <a href="http://danielcorey.com/portfolio-viewer?collection=119117#lg=1&artworkId=3305986" target="_blank">Summer's Last Song</a> 16x30" is available now. Contact me for details.<br />
Lately I have taken to pairing my works with poetry, which seems to elevate both of them and is very satisfying to me.. Here is a small quote from Walt Whitman that stood out to me.<br />
<br />
"<span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: , , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">This is the touch of my lips to yours—this is the murmur of yearning;</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: , , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">This is the far-off depth and height reflecting my own face;</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: , , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">This is the thoughtful merge of myself, and the outlet again."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: , , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Walt Whitman</span><br />
This year has been a trying one, I have left two galleries that represented me and have had a couple of interesting stories (but no new representation) result from attempts at new places to show my work. It's tough out there kids! You can be waist deep in a career that you are proud of (painting what you like with integrity) and just sit in a storage room until you are told "that's old work, we want new".. You may have a better chance of success today by investing in front row tickets to a major sports event, holding up one of your paintings, hoping the camera catches you and that the right eye was watching said event. I'm kidding, kinda..<br />
<br />
Artists of New England Podcast recently invited me in for an interview. Here is a link to their page <a href="https://www.artistsofnewengland.com/post/episode-63-daniel-corey-oil-painter-from-standish-me" target="_blank">Artist's of New England</a><br />
You can also find the link in the "links" section on my website, Danielcorey.com or searching on Itunes and Soundcloud<br />
Had a great time talking with Laura and am thankful for her help in getting a bit of my story out there.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
One more thing to mention is my <a href="http://danielcorey.com/collections/130983" target="_blank">Open Studio Sale</a> happening on my website. This is found on the link provided or on my website under "Works" then the specific sale gallery is clearly marked.<br />
This is to help fund the studio renovations that are much needed, so I can stop commandeering half of the living room in the house.<br />
<br />
This old garage has been slowly been turning into a studio. So far we have torn down a full chimney, re-insulated the connecting wall between house and garage, added a full new roof, patched holes from years of mice, vacuumed up 83 lbs (estimated) of mice droppings (the floors looked like " Everything Bagels"), poured a new piece of the foundation that was missing.. Removed the rickety garage door out and replaced with the French doors shown in picture below.<br />
<br />
Next on our agenda is installing a wood stove, having the electricity run properly to where it's needed, install new windows, frame out some divisions, insulate, sheet rock and finally paint. So if you're reading this and would like one of these works, now is the time! Also, if you are a professional or well versed in any of these needs and would accept a painting as payment, please email me.<br />

This poor blog.. Neglected for years now, in favor of bite sized Instagram and Facebook posts. I have been looking for a place to ramble a bit, completely forgot about here. Well i didn't forget, I just remembered at the wrong times..<br />
<div>
This year started off with an April showing at Portland Art Gallery, I painted several beach scenes. One example is this one, "Summertime"36x36". Painted on a hardboard surface instead of my usual canvas, lets all the work show and the impasto stands up nicely. </div>
<div>
SO far this summer I have been visiting beaches, painting/sketching unsuspecting beach goers that are NOT posing and move consistently. It can be frustrating when they move or you didn't get enough info and a cloud covered the sun, but also exciting when it works out. The challenge reminds me of quick pose at life drawing but the clock is completely random. </div>

What do you do that challenges you in a fun way? (in painting or life in general)</div>

If you missed my June or July show and find yourself in Rockland ME during the month of August, you're in luck! The Rock City Coffee Roasters have welcomed me in for an August show. This show is all still life pieces. mix of new, never displayed and older favorites.<br />
All the pieces are unframed and priced accordingly. If you buy one and want a frame you can write me and I'll help you find now or make/sell you one during the late fall when things slow down for me.<br />
<br />
The two workshops I am offering are for the weekends of September 16+17 and October 14+15 and in the Rockland Maine, mid-coast area. These workshops will focus on what I find a valuable in painting, ways I approach color, drawing, composition and paint application.<br />
The cost will be $225. for the two days and limited to 10 students per class. This limit isn't so much for individual attention as it is to cover us if it rains and we have to go inside for class/demo. Write me through my website ( danielcorey.com )if you have any questions or would like to reserve your spot.<br />
Also.. If you are in the middle of a financial hardship and feel this class can help you, I will work with you to get you in the class.<br />

This has been and continues to be the busiest summer i have experienced. I have three shows<br />
scheduled one in June, July and August. The June show (Image above) is at <a href="http://www.toddbonitagallery.com/daniel-corey.html" target="_blank">Todd Bonita Gallery</a> in Portsmouth NH.<br />
The July showing is currently still available for viewing (thru end of July) at <a href="https://www.artcollectormaine.com/?artist=daniel-j-corey" target="_blank">Portland Art Gallery</a>. (remainder of images) This show is the biggest collection of my work that has ever been put together with 35 pieces, see it if you can!<br />
The August show will be a smaller local show here in Rockland ME at Rock City Roasters (Great coffee!!) and will have more local work and and some smaller favorites. SO if you come for the Lobster Festival stop in and check it out.<br />
I will also be relaunching my danielcorey.com website and announcing two workshops, a late September and mid October.<br />

It has been a while, huh? Recently realizing that I have not posted for over a year was a bit of a shock.. I have learned many lessons and painted miles of canvas over the year to ramble about. Where to begin? (or re-begin)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First an update about the fire and fire sale. Having been in quite a pickle financially before the fire the sale helped me get some stability for a bit; which was refreshing.. Thank you to all that bought paintings and sent messages of encouragement! I did not lose everything in the fire like other tenants in the house but I did have to throw a lot away. Washing and wiping (and re wiping) soot off all of the walls, off everything I didn't throw away became a full time job, for almost two months. Also finally people are not asking me if I smell a fire in close quarters. Most of my clothes smelled like fire even after being professionally cleaned, Good times.. The house is still being rebuilt and is on its 200th year of existence. Happy Birthday to the Ranch! (used to be a bordello) </div>

These days I am preparing for two major shows this summer on in June at Todd Bonita Gallery in Portsmouth New Hampshire and one in July right here in Maine at Portland Art Gallery.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will share more info and a few sneak peak images closer to those dates. I have been focusing a lot on slight color shifts/colors found within a mass. I have always done this but am trying it a little differently, i am excited to share! </div>

On Saint Patrick's Day in the early afternoon the smoke alarms started weezing their familiar, non alarming alarm. Most of the time these go off with forgotten toast but not this day..<br />
I live and paint on the third floor of this 199 year old house in the photo.<br />
Being a regular occurrence to have these alarms go off, I almost didn't go out to check on the neighbors as I would have to walk around the house due to some snow still on my back porch and ugly blue Crocs on my feet. For some reason i did. When i knocked on one of the back doors then the next, I saw smoke rising in-between the blinds and the glass on the second. So i knocked harder then broke the door in with my shoulder. The apartment was filled with black, plastic smelling smoke that i knew not to mess with. <br />

I ducked down while yelling in with no response. The first door i knocked on opened and i asked him to call 911. I ran upstairs to grab Molly (my cat), my jacket and some real shoes, (I'm not doing in Crocs) knocking on doors on my way up.<br />
By the time i tied my second boot, the firetrucks could be heard in the distance. When i ran back down the front inside stairs with Molly stuffed in my jacket, the smoke was rising thru the cracks in them, it was like a weird old rock video.<br />

Everything in the apartment, I found the fire in, was destroyed and it it didn't fair very well for most other tenants.. My apartment smelled terrible and looked like a bomb went off.. Everything was covered in black soot and smelled of smoke. I have been cleaning constantly since the day after it happened. I am very thankful nobody was hurt and I should be back to normal pretty soon. Thank you Rockland Fire Department!<br />
<br />
So this event capped off me at my leanest time financially that I've experienced since starting to paint, full time. So this sale was going to be a regular sale as i needed to get traveling money and find a reliable car. So I lowered the prices for this occasion and you can find my Fire Sale here on my Facebook page <a href="http://www.facebook.com/Daniel-Corey-Paintings-282390608452158/?fref=photo" target="_blank">Daniel Corey Paintings</a> . Ive included a couple of the pieces available. There are about 70 available.<br />

After much deliberation and and date checking Ive settled on three plain air workshop dates this year. May 21-22, August 13-14 and October 1-2. The price is $230. for two days. 9am-3pm. I will be accepting 8 students per class. Your normal oil paints will serve you fine but if interested in a supply list look at " "My class blog" link on the sidebar of this blog.<br />
<br />
These Plein Air Workshops will be in the Rockland area. I will show off my favorite local painting spots while pushing my agenda of abstract shapes, pattern and most of all color.<br />

2015 has been really good to me in ways that most other years were not, there were also some significant negatives though.. I have regular medical and dental care, I exercise five days a week and have a great woman in my life that I am very sure i do not deserve.. (no one does, she really is amazing.) ( I'm also pretty sure she won't read this, so its not for brownie points.)<br />
<br />
Also I have been feeling more in control of paint and color than any other time in my life. There is a new feeling of excitement to see what comes off my easel this coming year. Not that I wasn't excited before but its different now, Ill try to explain it this coming year thru my painting.<br />
<br />
Wasn't there negatives to complain about?? ... hmm.. Nah.<br />
<br />
Happy New Year!<br />

On this Thanksgiving I'm feeling thankful for the charmed life I have been lucky enough to experience. Not charmed in the "I'm rich enough to frivolously buy sleeveless sweaters!" or have driven a golf cart to go get my mail but in the little things and quirky art viewing experiences that have happened to me. <br />
<br />
When I was very young, I vaguely remember (or imagined very well) seeing a very life like painting with a person wearing red right in the middle of the image, not showing their face. My mother many years later told me she had brought me to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum when I was a little kid. ( I was too young to know where I was, But that painting..! Oh boy, i remembered that.) I connected the two, this painting was most likely the eventually stolen Vermeer. It is Vermeer's Quirkiest piece in my opinion. Worth Looking up.<br />
<br />
Then Years ago, I was still doing odd jobs and proving that the only job i was gonna hold was painting (Long story there..) Visiting Newport Rhode Island doing the tourist thing and walked into a gallery (sorry I forget the name) and the show up was a collection of the most beautiful, subtle color harmony filled gauche and oil sketches by William Trost Richards. ( I command !! you to look him up if you are not aware of his work) This show had everything from him, His sketchbooks, watercolors, Gouache, oil sketches, finished pieces even his easel and a self-portrait by him. I was blown away.. His plain air sketches would be of a simple wave, not a ferocious crashing wave, he did those also in his finished but of a simple non crashing wave.. These waves were just a vehicle to show you the harmony of greens, regal blues and soft grayed yellows. I remember thinking " There must be a thousand different colors in this piece!!" ha! They struck me and very much influenced my search for color change within a shape.<br />
<br />
<br />
I am Also thankful that the show I'm part of (at the Landing Gallery here in Rockland) with three other very accomplished artists is finally opening tomorrow night! I have poured myself into this show and contributed 40 pieces to it. I really tried my best to listen to my tastes, be honest with myself (especially when it hurts) and make paintings I would want to see. I hope you can make it to the opening, if not I hope you enjoy the online presentation. I warn you though, I'm known for bad photography of my work.. :)<br />
Here is the gallery <a href="http://www.landingart.com/LANDINGART/HOME.html" target="_blank">LINK</a>.<br />
Hopefully they will have the available work on their website soon. I will have it on my website by Saturday, here is a <a href="http://danielcorey.com/" target="_blank">LINK</a>.<br />

Lately I have been painting mostly still life, this piece "Spooky" was my effort at a indoor nocturne. I had fun trying to keep the lit up parts saturated with color while being lighter than everything else. That left some great rich colors to be found in the values that the leaves in the foreground were in. The leaves are my favorite part. The blue bits in the background are stacks of canvases leaned against couch in the next room. Their abstract, barely recognizable, random shapes worked well and added to the color harmony so i included them.<br />
The pumpkin used in this sketch was rescued from the rain after my friends had a pumpkin carving party. I was hoping to go back and paint the half dozen of the Jack-O-Lanterns together in their natural habitat, the edge of the porch but the weather had other plans..<br />
<br />
Upcoming show, November 14th at The Landing Gallery right here in Rockland. I will have more info on that very soon.<br />
<br />
Happy Halloween!<br />

Every Second Sunday of the month Ill be hosting a drop in, plain air painting demo/class. I will post the location here and on my Class blog a few days ahead of time to give you a heads up. The price for this demo/class will be $25. The demo will be approximately 2 hours and will be followed by questions and conversation about your work or painting in general. Please, bring a chair and work to discuss.<br />
<br />
Next year, 2016! I will be hosting three, two day long, workshops. The workshops will be focusing on paint handling, composition/abstract language. (Dates to be determined, A spring, Summer and Fall Class) These will not be run thru a workshop program company, The cost will be affordable and leave room financially for you to enjoy the area(maybe an upgraded hotel room.?.) and bring fresh brushes :) More info to come.<br />
Please feel free to contact me if you'd like more info and have a window of time that would be best for you. If enough people like a certain window of dates, I can set the date there. Easy Breezy<br />
<br />
<br />
The painting above "Family Day" 14x10" shows a clear pattern of light and dark as the frame of its composition. This is the composition you might see across the room. Upon closer inspection you will see highlights or more intense colors to lead you thru the painting in a different pattern. Finally, slight variations in the shadows help entertain your eye along the dark pattern while viewing up close. Notice how many ways your eye can travel thru this painting. I picked this painting as an example for that exact reason. They don't always turn out with strong compositions but a good dark/light pattern gives you a great chance at it.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by <br />

Here is a recent nocturne piece ( "Summer Night" 12x16") from here in Rockland ME. The colorfully lit building in the painting is Cafe Miranda. I highly recommend looking them up when you come visit Rockland.<br />

If I wasn't delivering this large 4x5 ft painting ("Five Seasons a Year" 48x60" ) I could have just walked there.<br />

It leads to a <a href="http://www.gofundme.com/lifefrompaint" target="_blank">GO FUND ME</a> account that I decided to start out of necessity for my painting to be made and displayed properly, also return to traveling for galleries and painting events.

I believe it will be open for about another week if you're interested in any of the pieces available there. The link to my DPW page is visible in the upper right hand corner on "Full Web Version" of this page if you're viewing on a mobile device.<br />

Here are a couple of new additions to my <a href="http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/daniel-corey/chat/351309" target="_blank">Daily Paintworks Gallery</a> . Give it a look if you have time.<br />
I have included some smaller works for auction and larger pieces that you can inquire about if interested. The larger work is available for a limited time. As we get into the good weather and busy season I will be focusing on gallery commitments and travel. So get em while you can! <br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by!<br />
