Pet Portrait A new commission I am working on.

2012-01-15T07:07:00.000-08:00

One of my New Year Resolutions is to blog more. I thought one thing I could do is show you one thing I am working on at the present time. A new client commissioned me to do a pet portrait of her precious puppy. This puppy is less than a year old and was an absolute sweetheart to work with. He was happy, friendly and very cooperative. More cooperative than some people I have photographed! Here is the referance for the painting I am working on.

One thing my client wants. is a very neutral, timeless and very classic look to her painting. It is a real pleasure painting this little guy! I hope you check back for more blogs and to see the finished painting!

The inspiration behind..and the history of my painting "The Rose"

2011-01-24T09:47:00.000-08:00

The inspiration behind...and the history of

my painting "The Rose".

First I want to say my favorite flower is the rose. The

rose in this painting was from my personal rose garden.

I am always inspired to paint floral paintings, but the rose

being so soft with it's heavenly scent, is what I reach

for first. Not only was this rose absolutely beautiful, I was

inspired by the lyrics of a song at a time in my life when things

were, (no pun intended) a little thorny. The lyrics are from

a very well known song by the same title as my painting,

"The Rose". The version of the song I like is performed

by Bette Midler.

The song reminded me and still reminds me...keep going.

There is a spring after the long winter..our lives will bloom

again with time!

To read the lyrics of the song..

Here is a suprising thing that happened to me one day,

involving this and many of my other paintings and prints.

I received an e-mail one day from a man asking me if he

could purchase some of my paintings and prints to be used

on a new television show set that was due to be released.

Of course my immediate thought was..this is some nut

trying to scam me. You hear about scams everyday on

the internet. He gave me some links and phone numbers

to check him out. He KNEW that I would think it was someone

up to no good! I checked out the links, which was the history

of this person. It turned out, this man was an Emmy winning

set designer with a very long list of movies and television shows

he had designed sets for. He even gave me a password so I could

e-mail him. Yes...people have to have a password just to e-mail

this man! When I called the number/numbers he gave me, I was

suprised to hear I had reached Warner Brother's Studio!!! His

secretary put me right though! They indeed bought several

of my paintings and prints and I was so shocked and thrilled

to see them when the show aired! The show was, "Past Life". The

show didn't last long..but his set was (not just because I had work

on there) gorgeous!! For his privacy, I won't mention his name,

but here are a few of the tv shows and movies he has designed

sets for.

Dawson's Creek-Won a primetime Emmy for this

Invincible

When Harry Met Loyd

Get Low

The Joneses

The People vs. Leo Frank

One Missed Call

**Many others were listed!**

To purchase a print, just click on the "Buy Now" button.

WHEN DID I BEGIN PAINTING

2010-07-07T07:40:00.000-07:00

When I meet someone new that looks at my paintings, they almost always ask,

"When did you start painting?". I tell them this funny story, (funny now).

I have been painting and drawing all my life. I can't even remember the

first time I started my painting exploration!

It all began when I was so small (2 or 3) the only thing I thought of was, my parents

walls are really bare. I need to do something about it! Oh my poor parents!

I got in trouble several times, didn't understand why at that early age

why they would get so upset when I was trying to make their walls "pretty"!

For instance, my mother had a card club coming

one evening. She was going to rearrange the furniture to make room

for card tables. To her suprise, she found one of my "murals" behind

one of the chairs on her freshly painted wall! In my defense, I didn't

have proper art supplies, so I used her red lipstick!! Not my fault...they

should have bought me proper materials! LOL! Another time, my

mother had just finished wall papering (really absorbant paper) my bedroom.

Cost her a pretty at that time! I remember thinking,

"It just needs something!".

I found her "Ban" roll on deoderant and did another mural! My poor mother!!

After that, guess what...they started making sure I had art supplies!!

My point here is, I hope if you have a child or grandchild that just needs

to "help" your walls a little, please don't get upset with them...just

get them art supplies! They can't help it! It is just born in them

to create!!! :)

I was very lucky. My grandfather was a painter and a photographer. He

told my mother..."Leave that girl alone!!". He understood. He told

my mother, "She will do what ever she sets her mind to!"

Thanks Grandpa!!

Couples Portrait

Couples Portrait

This is a new portrait I just finished. I worked from a

very old black and white photograph. I would like to

tell you a little bit about this couple.

They ran off at seventeen without their parents

knowing and got married. Their parents were horrified

when they found out. They are now 84 and 85 years old.

They are still married. He became a very successful

physician, and they have two sons that are also very

successful! Goes to show you...sometimes parents

arent' always right!!!

Working on portrait

2010-03-03T03:47:00.000-08:00

I haven't posted any new pics for a little while. I am working on a portrait commission I will hopefully post soon. I am working from a photo that was taken in the early 40's of a couple that at 17 ran away and got married. I have been commissioned by their son to do a painting of their wedding photo. I was told the family was not happy about them running off at such an early age to get married, but it all worked out well. They have had a very interesting life. They are 84 years old now and still married to this day. I guess you could say, it all worked out very well!! I will tell you more when I post the portrait.

Back to work!

2010-01-19T02:02:00.000-08:00

Well... it has been a while since I posted something new.

I had to get my house in shape. My son and his fiance

came to visit, (they live in California) and I had a LOT to do!!

I had the whole family over on Sunday. We had

a great time. Now.....back to work! I hope to be doing LOTS

of new paintings and posting them here very soon!

Does art have to be expensive?

2010-01-12T16:50:00.000-08:00

Does art have to be expensive?

This was a question that came up in a forum I was reading today.

I was reading posts from artists that explained how the process

of making art can be very time consuming. Many people have

degrees, take special classes/workshops from well known instructors, etc. and

feel they deserve to charge more for their work. Some artists win awards,

and/or have their work in prestigous galleries and collections. This

all adds up to experience. The more experienced and talented an

artist is, if they are lucky, will have many collectors. The fact is, art, good

art, takes a lifetime of practice and hard work. Very hard work!

Many people really do not realize the hard work, money and

time artists invest in their career. So, if you see a piece of art that

you believe is overpriced, try to find out just who the artist is, and what

they have invested in their career to get where they are.

Myself, I know things are tough right now for many people. They do not

have the cash flow that they would like to buy art. Just because someone

doesn't have a lot of money, does not mean they are a person that does

not love or appreciate art. I try to have a wide variety of sizes and

prices for people to be able to afford my art if they so choose.

You can check out some of my art and prices in my Etsy store.

Tips For Artists

2009-12-30T19:17:00.000-08:00

One of the things I want to do this year as I posted in my last blog,

is to try to be a positive influence on the people around me. I also

want to be a positive influence to people that I "cannot" be around,

such as those that read my blog. I know there are some people, other

artists for example that would like some tips. I teach painting from

my studio, and would also like to help those here with tips they can

use. One such thing that is on every artists mind it seems, is promotion.

I spend part of my day painting, the other part promotion. I recently

came across a wonderful site that has lots and lots of links for those

that just do not know where to start. I use many of these things

myself and have found they really work! I read some new things

I want to try this coming year!

Well Christmas is over. A new year is quickly coming up.

I have been thinking about what I want to do next year. I always

make resolutions. Get more organized is one. Keep up with

my record keeping. So far...well let's just say, next year will

be the year!! Ha-ha!! I want to do even more promotion and

make the best paintings I can possibly make, but I think the

most important thing of all is to remember....life is short. Enjoy

each day as it comes and try to be a postive influence on those

around me.

I hope you have a very POSITIVE year!!!

Portraits by Patti Trostle

2009-12-20T14:07:00.000-08:00

Any one who knows me, knows I love to paint!

I post paintings and prints for sale on my web

site and here on my blog almost daily. But my true

passion lies in portraiture. I have met so many

nice people that have commissioned portraits from

me. I have sent portraits all over the country and

I am truly honored when someone likes my work

enough to have one of my paintings or portraits

in their collection. I have to stop and think what

my grandfathers paintings meant/mean to me. He

is no longer with me, but a feel like a piece of him is still

with me when I see his work. I hope I can give

people the same happy feeling when they, or their

future generations see the work I have done for them!

portrait work/paintings, please go to my web site at:

I love red! This goes along with the title of this painting really.

The meaning is, there is a difference between being alone and

being lonely. I love to be alone and work on my paintings. Painting

is (besides my son and animals) my biggest passion. Red is

the true color of passion!

***

I get a real thrill shipping my paintings all over the world.

It is fun to ask myself while I am working on a painting, where

will this painting go? What kind of home will it have?

Heartwarming to think about it! I love thinking that my

work is making someone else happy! ♥

I have been working very hard on portraits lately and

haven't had time to list anything new. Here is a new

painting I just finished today. I have noticed we are

starting to get just a little fall color already in a few trees.

I want to thank Shirley Bass and Monica from "The Inkwell Alley", for putting a link to my blog and tagging me! Once again, be sure to check out their blog. They not only promote their work, but generously promote many other artists!

It seems that when you are "tagged", you are to write about interesting or bizarre things about yourself. Well.....from my prospective, I can't think of many interesting or bizarre things! I will tell you a little to give you an idea of who I am if you are so inclined to be interested. Ha-ha!

1.I was born and raised in Indianapolis Indiana. I live now just a few miles from Mooresville Indiana. Mooresville is still a relatively small town, known as the boyhood home of John Dillinger. 2. I "was" married and have one son that now happily lives in California with his beautiful fiance. 3. I have two horses, two dogs and two cats. Lots of wild creatures visit often also! Sometimes seems like living in a zoo!! Ha-ha! 4. I have painted all my life. I started out doing murals on my parents walls, (which they did not appreciate!). That is when they started buying me art supplies to keep me away from walls,etc. 5. I now work in my studio at the historic Stutz Business Center in Indianapolis. This is where they manufactured the "Stutz Bearcat Automobile", among others. 6. I am a full time artist/painter and absolutely love being able to do everyday what I love! 7. I love to learn new things. I try to learn something new each day that is not part of what I do. I like to share on Twitter new information I think people might enjoy. Feel free to "Follow" me and hopefully learn something new!

The Inkwell Alley

2009-08-14T14:31:00.000-07:00

I am working on a couple of portraits that are not finished yet. I will post them when I am finished.

Today I want to bring to your attention a great blog. The blog is run by a writer

and a visual artist. They like the concept of learning!! Yea for them!!

They promote not only their own work, but generously

promote the work of many others. I hope you visit their blog.

http://inkwellalley.blogspot.com/

What new thing have you learned today? I would really like to hear from you!

Learn Something New!!!

2009-08-13T06:55:00.000-07:00

I have started something on my Twitter page (see the link below), and want to continue it here on my blog.

I used to drive my parents crazy asking them "Why". I still am asking that same question. I do not ever want to be satisfied with information that people give me. Question everything. If you learn something new, ask yourself why or when etc. Let one question lead you to another question. Expand your world and your mind!

I want to encourage everyone to learn something new each day. I would like for you to come back ("Follow" if you are not already) to my blog and let me know what you have learned.

I get bored with small talk! The world is a very big and complex place.

So many people let their world stop at the end of their nose! Venture out and expand your world.

Example, if you are an artist, learn something about science. If you are a scientist, learn something about the arts. Anything. Anything new! The mind is no different than your muscles. Use it or lose it!!!

"Follow" me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/PattiTrostle

Lecture over, let me know what you have learned today!!

Gravity effects everything we are and do. Read about the origin of gravity here:

This red barn is on my farm near Seymour Indiana. The farm

and barn have been in my family since the 1850's. I am working

on a couple of portraits, but I just had to get out and do this

painting. Here in Indiana in the spring, there is a purple plant

that blooms in some of the fields. The purple in the fields really

inspired me to get out and paint this scene.

Ahh.....I don't know why people are always so upset.

They just need to learn to relax like us cats!!

******

I know this isn't one of my usual "serious" paintings.

I feel I need to put out there some inspiration for people

going through tough times. I just happen to have

two cats that worry about absolutely nothing! I

look at them and see inspiration for me. I have heard

it said, "Don't sweat the small stuff!" If you really

put things into perspective, most all things really

are small stuff. Ask yourself, what do I have to

be thankful for? Are your children healthy? Are you

healthy? Do you have a roof over your head? Do you

have food to eat? If you can say yes,

"Don't sweat the small stuff!!!"

Special occasion portraits

2009-01-25T14:54:00.001-08:00

I have to admit I am really suprised.

As the economy seems to worsen, my

workload for commissions, especially

portraits have increased. It seems from

the people I have spoken with, they are

investing in art, due to Wall Street not

being something people can count on.

If you think about it, banks cannot control

what artists charge for their art. Come to think

about it, people have a hard time controlling

artists period! Just another thing I love

about being an artist. My point is this,

consider a wedding portrait, anniversary portrait,

birthday portrait, graduation portrait, etc. Capture a

moment in time of that child, grandchild or any

other special person in your life. Why not

commission a painting of a special event? Portraits

and paintings I am realizing more and more, are

something that are cherished for generations!
