An oil painting from Indiana State University’s Permanent Art collection is about to go at an  international historical exhibition in Belgium. This is certainly a good news for Indiana State University.

“Smoke Stacks” is the name of the oil painting painted by Joseph Stella in 1935. It is an industrial painting. He was an American artist. Many people tend to see the painting as an indication of pollution all over the world, but Racker, curator of the university, thinks differently. He feels it as a progress of human kind.

John Murray, Dean, is very excited about the transaction to Belgium. He believes in this way this paining will get more popularity and it also increase the accessibility of people to the university’s art collection. Previously, in 1994, “Smoke Stacks” was brought to Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Certainly, it is a great thing for the Indiana University to get more exposure. It will bring the collections of the university in the lime light.

Coco-cola, the famous soft drink brand, wants its missing oil paintings back. In fact, it ran a campaign to find the three lost oil paintings painted by a world famous artist Norman Rockwell.

Rockwell painted six paintings for Coke, but unfortunately, Coke had only one original painting with it. Two paintings have been received from people after paying a staggering amount. It means still three out of six oil paintings are missing. You will be surprised to know that Coke has 2000-3000 paintings in its collection. You see, how heritage loving Coca-cola is.

Ted Ryan, director of heritage communication of Coca-cola, claimed that Coke is extremely conscious about its heritage. So, they will try their best to find the oil paintings like before. The missing paintings were painted from 1928 to 1932. Two of them are billboard advertisements and the other is calendar. Coke thinks that finding the billboard ads would be difficult as storing ads after doing any project was not practised then. And the calendar owner may not know that it is a priceless painting. In fact, Coke already tried each and every possible place where the three missing paintings could be found. But still they are missing. The massive company is ready to pay for the paintings. In fact, it did pay about 400000-600000 dollars for any lost painting earlier.

It is a nice initiative from Coca-cola, the extremely popular soft drink company in the world. We hope it will get its missing oil paintings back as early as possible. Certainly, it will bring smile on its face.

What do you think about the image? Is it an oil painting or a watercolor painting? In fact, it is neither an oil painting not a watercolor painting. It has been made/painted with an iPad using fingers!

Roz Hall is the creator of this painting or this method. In fact, he came to know about this method in a technology magazine. Since then he started trying to paint using his fingers. It took him two years to master this method. Now he can paint extremely good paintings with an iPad though he started with an iPhone. He is really an incredible artist. In fact, he could be marked as Picasso of digital painting.

The method is very cheap. The first apps Hall bought cost only 2 pounds. It was a brush tool. Now he uses more advanced tools—Procreate (2.99 pounds) and Inkpad (5.49 pounds). Using these tools he has painted about 100 pictures, though some people still think that they have not been painted legally. They do not accept Hall as a painter. But Hall, ex student of fine art at Chichester University, is not disappointed at all. He believes it’s another way of painting. Moreover, he added some benefits of this method. He expressed if you are a digital artist, you do not need any extra space for your paintings; the entire studio is in your lap. You see, how smart the idea is.

Now Hall wants to monetize his work. Watching his paintings we can conclude that they are worth buying. Chances are high that they will be extremely cheap. Happy buying.

Ipad Panting Genius: Roz Hall ©2012 Oil Paintings Market News

Surely, Parkinson’s is a very deadly disease. Literally, it takes everything out of a man. The deadly result is that he loses the ability to move and speak gradually. We all know that world famous heavy weight boxer Muhammad Ali is a victim of Parkinson’s disease. Seeing him we can understand the terrible effects of this disease immediately. Recently, we came to know that another famous man, Sunset Artist Shelley, is the victim of this disease.

The 73-year-old famous artist became anxious about his health when he failed to draw a simple thing for a seventh-grader student. Then he was diagnosed with this disease. At first, this disease attacked his right hand. Then he lost the ability to paint with his right hand. So he decided to paint with his left and luckily, he was successful doing that. Later on, he had a surgery in his brain so that he can paint again with his right hand. Luckily, the operation was successful. But it was not over. Recently, he had another operation in one of his legs. Now he has to communicate with an Ipad. This severe condition made him sell about 300 paintings which cover almost all paintings he has painted in his entire life. The money will be used to raise fund for Parkinson’s disease. This is not the first time that has given away his paintings. In fact, he has already given many paintings to his friends and relatives. You see, how generous he is.

Certainly, it is a great initiative from the Sunset artist who taught in Sunset Junior High School from 1965 to 1997. He is a very famous artist so the contribution from him is expected to be a good one. We really hope the optimum success of his fund raising project and hope he will live well in the rest of his life.

Everyone was asked to choose their favorite artists and a theme for the event. Nancy Perry, Executive director of the MPA, is very excited about the event.  Andrea Pollan, the first curator of MPA, chose the oil paintings of superb artists like ken Ashton, Kendall Buster, Susan Eder, and Tom Green.

Before his death he gave her a painting “There is a zone.” Tanguy chose the works of Donald cook, Michael Platt, Tanja Softic. Former curator, Deborah McLeod, chose no theme for the event. But the current curator, Nancy Sausser, chose the works of Solomon Wondimu, Joy Every, and Michael Mendez.

David Wells Roth is a famous artist. Recently, his 17 mighty oil paintings about New York City will be showcased at St Bofolph Club. The oil paintings are about night of NYC. 

Wells has been living in Framingham for 15 years. He is not participating alone. He has a famous photographer with him. Along with him Photographer Brian Kaplan will be also participating. So, I believe it will be a fabulous exhibition of these two geniuses. Their theme is also electrifying. It is titled “Urban Light, Urban Night.”

Roth uses the perfect color to draw the night life of New York City. He picks the best color combination to reflect the night to the viewers. His paintings are about boats, bicycle, and cars of NYC in the night. The size of his paintings is from 12*12 to 50*50 inch.

Roth is also an educated artist. He completed his education in arts from Boston University. That is why his paintings are expected to be special and reflecting the real taste of night. Good luch for both of them.
