Photo book Book Preview This is my New Coffee Table Art Book Painting with The Masters - Segment Two Connoisseur Wine Masters I just love doing these books for my Collectors.

The image is printed right on the beautiful hard cover. You also have the option for a softback or a paper image wrap cover and different qualities of paper. In the past you could not Preview the entire book, only the first few pages. This year they made that change where you can see the entire book, which really is much nicer. I like to see what I am buying! Click Preview on the small image to see the book. You can also purchase it there if you like it. This year is The Connoisseur Wine Masters Series I know I have many collectors that collected this series so they will be happy to have this beautiful book for their coffee tables. Enjoy!

Art within Art Series

I gave this series thought and concept work for over a year and finally executed it. It has been almost a year that I have been creating for this series and is the longest running series yet. I am thrilled at the response. Thanks to my Collectors and New Collectors for your purchases and commissions for this series. Also to my fans for all the great comments. Very much appreciated.

I think this series really speaks for itself. I study each artist as usual and try to gain insight to their personality from what I read and what I see in their work and many times will purchase a video about their lives if available. Then I start to design the painting around elements that I would have or rooms I would live in if I were that artist.

I design the rooms around "my impression" of clips from many of that artists paintings to create the composition for that particular artist. I try to use elements for the flooring, walls and paintings from their work to make the piece all about that artists but with a twist! Using as many bold colors and shapes always makes me happy and creates a definite connection to the artist I am painting.... If I were Kandinsky this is what my Den would look like.

Stay posted for many more. This is going to be a forever series.

This is such an exciting Series for me. I have been working on this idea for a very long time but just could not get all the components together in my mind to execute it.

It wasn't until I found a large box of very old sketches and recordings of work that I did many years ago when I was studying the masters and this original concept was born.
Once I saw the sketches and my notes, the compositions for this series just flowed and I couldn't paint them soon enough.

With a new series it generally takes awhile for it to catch on.
This series was different. Many of my collectors jumped at owning one or more as well as many new wonderful collectors that I have gained from this series.

I think my excitement for this series shows in every painting that I do. Each one has an excerpt from a painting of the Master that I chose for the piece composed as the Wine Label for the bottles. Since wines have vintage dates, the dates I include, are the birth and death of that particular artist and is a homage of sorts to that Master.

This will be a continuous series for me with no end. I will be painting them in small and large format. I have requests for future projects for installation in fine restaurants and wineries and will be announcing those projects in time along with photos.

If you have a favorite Master or painting that you would like to commission please contact me with your ideas.
Thank you to my collectors who have so generously supported me with this series.

Painting with The Masters

The Masters Series and Segments

by k. Madison Moore

When I first started studying art, of course I went right for the masters to learn techniques and to try too infiltrate their lives through art history. It's endless and always so much more to learn. I knew somewhere in my work along the way, that I would have to somehow incorporate my love for each and every Master Artist into my own compositions.

  This is when I started painting my Art Museum Collection Series of Art within Art. The joy of designing the museum interiors fulfilled the architecture and design part of me and made them more fun to paint, as I knew they where the museums of my mind and creativity and not actual brick and mortar museums.   Then I pick one of my favorite Masters to study for that museum exhibit. I study ad research and delve into my art history books and sometimes read for hours trying to imagine myself as that artist by escaping into their world though the words and their paintings in my books. After coming back to reality a bit, I select what painting’s are my favorites and the frames for them and on to the people viewing the art.

In addition, I have been working on a new approach to my Museum Paintings. In some of the future paintings I will be incorporating Still Life and an assortment of unique interiors. This entire series will remain with the theme of Paintings within Paintings and People Viewing Art but this Segment of the Masters Series will be titled the Art within Art Series.

My recent Segment to the Masters Series is my new Connoisseur Wine Masters Series. This is so exciting to me. I am really having a great time with this series and the ideas are just flowing so I know this will be a long series.

With this series I like to bring portions of the label into the dimension of reality, even if it is the foot of Etre's woman on to the leaf of the flower in the foreground of the painting. I like that little twist!

I will be doing several for each of my favorite artists and adding many more along the way as far back as the 14th Century.

"My vision is not to copy the masters but is a homage to them for my inspirations."

Art Museum Collection Series

Madison's Art Museum Collection Series is another story. She actually did 3 museum paintings about 30 years ago. Madison's mentor that trained her in art restoration showed her a few photos of people viewing art at a recent exhibit that she attended and said, " Wouldn't these photo's make great paintings. At that, she took them home and made them into paintings for her. She never thought about them again. Not until she started her business on the Internet and saw a few artists working in this genre. She loved it. She wanted to do a Series, so she studied many of them to see what they were or were not doing. She found most artists concentrated on the people viewing the art and only included a part of the painting within, or part of the room. There her exhibits were born.

Madison decided that she would step the format up to 9" x 12", most were doing smaller. She wanted to show as much of the museum interior as possible in the space. The museum would include three to five paintings based on her impression of the old masters works. The people viewing the art would be small figures in the paintings to give the impression that the paintings within where huge with heavily detailed frames, yet in all essence, they were Miniature paintings within the painting.

Freedom, this Series gives Madison total freedom. Freedom to visit with the masters, read about their lives on a daily basis, read about their thoughts and what made them tick, why they painted what they painted. Freedom to paint her impressions of the Masters. Freedom to paint in so many colors. Palettes of colors in every hue and depth and pastel, all of which were so exhilarating to mix. Freedom to paint every and any subject from Renoir to Picasso. Freedom with style. Detail is her style, detail and more detail. She seems to always go back to the more realistic. Even the Masters that painted Impressionism that she includes in her Exhibits have that fine detail somewhere.

Some of the exhibits she has painted thus far include Picasso, Renoir, van Gogh, Michelangelo, Seurat, Godward, Warhol, Caillebotte, Margritte, Modigilani, Leighton,
Guayasamin, Picabia, O'Keefe and Klimt, to name a few and many, many more to come. On several occasions Madison has been asked to do a clients favorite artist in and exhibit or their children in an exhibit that they visited together. So many wonderful fun ideas.

Then there's the satisfaction of the reactions from Madison's collectors. She has gained so many wonderful collectors and when she started her Museum series the list grew even longer. "In reality, how many of us will ever own a painting of a Master?" Madison's little exhibits of the Masters makes it possible to own many of her Art Museum Collection Series with her impression of the Masters in miniature.

with the camera but wanted to share this as soon as I took the photos.

I hope everyone has a wonderful, happy Spring and summer fun this year.

Artists loving life in the Pocono Mountains by k Madison Moore

I generally do not post about my personal life on my blog. However, living in the beautiful Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania needs to be shared. It is the heart of Pennsylvania and is the largest resort area in PA. I never thought I would love living in a private gated resort community but it's a wonderful life. Our animal friends make it even better.
The Pocono's are full of wonderful artists, galleries and art communities so we fit right in.
I wanted to share the beautiful views from our home on the side of the mountain overlooking the huge lake. What a way to paint every day!!! Come visit the beautiful Pocono's and while your here, visit me too.
Enjoy!

The Poconos is and has been Pennsylvania's most popular tourist destination. It is also known for its brilliant color during the fall, in which the mountains are a mix of vibrant red, yellow, and orange. The region contains over 80% of the state's resorts. These resorts earn 1.5 billion dollars in gross revenues and employ 18,000 workers. The region is also a popular winter destination. State parks offer snowmobile trails, snowshoeing, and eagle watching.
Popular summer activities include whitewater rafting and canoeing down the Delaware and Lehigh Rivers, camping and hiking, water parks, and smaller attractions such as Claws N Paws Wild Animal Park, Kittatinny Rafting & Paintball, Houdini Museum and others. Another popular recreation activity growing around the Poconos is disc golf. Currently there are several disc golf courses located around the Poconos. Other outdoor activities, particularly golf, are also popular options.
Another attraction is Pocono Raceway, a major automobile racetrack, which is home to two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races, the Pocono 500 in June, and the Pennsylvania 500n August. It also serves as a racing school and motorcycle track.
The Poconos is a major resort destination with new additions such as Great Wolf Lodge for families, a resurrection of Mount Airy as a gaming (slots) and golf resort, the famous Caesars Pocono Resorts with heart-shaped and champagne whirlpool baths for two (couples only) and a retreat known as Woodloch Pines hat has added a spa facility.

Wine Painting, Bathroom Art by k Madison Moore

"Lady in Waiting"

Oil Painting on Canvas
9 x 12 inches

I was soaking in my bubbles enjoying a glass of wine

and looking around at how I was going to renovate

our very small bathroom. I was thinking of art that

I want to hang in there and came up with this idea.

Needless to say I had to paint it right away and of

course had to add a touch of my signature color - Red.

I doubt I will use these colors for a small room but

this is what came into my head. Maybe I am

dreaming about the new large bath in the addition...

Maybe?

I think the silhouette of the gentlemen in the mirror

and the second glass of wine on the shelf tell the whole

story of the "Lady in Waiting"

Enjoy!

Joan Miro Wine Painting by k Madison Moore

Joan Miro Wine Master

11 x 14

Oil on Canvas

Connoisseur Wine Masters Series

I absolutely loved, loved, loved painting this wine label painting.

Red is my favorite color so I am always my happiest when using it

in my paintings.
Joan Miro was such a free spirit and did not let the art

world dictate to him on the way things should be done as far as, palettes colors

and style. He remained free and painted many different styles. I admire this

as this is also my very true feeling of being an artist. Many artists stick to one style,

one subject, one palette.
Personally I will paint all, try many styles and use

as many beautiful colors as I can mix. This wine label painting was truley felt

every inch of the way with a variety of reds and a brilliant contrasting color palette. Enjoy!

"Wine Painting," What Ever Lola Wants, Lola Gets - Serenade to Lola, by k Madison Moore

What Ever Lola wants, Lola Gets! - Serenade to Lola

14 x16 inches
Oil on Canvas

SOLD

Another painting with my signature color - Red. My husband fell for this one so this is a definite for the new decorating theme we are doing and will look great with the new Red sofa upholstery. Of couse I will paint it similar, not the same and much larger.

I think the title tells it all!! A great fun painting with a lot of details to add to my Wine Series.

Here's a little about the song:

"Whatever Lola Wants" is a popular song, sometimes rendered as "Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets". The music and words were written by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross for Gwen Verdon to sing in the 1955 musical play Damn Yankees. The song also appeared in the film made from the play. The Irish born "spanish dancer" and mistress of King Ludwig I of Bavaria as well as San Francisco Gold Rush vamp Lola Montez is reputed to be the inspiration for the saying upon which this song title is based.

Alphone Mucha Wine Painting by k Madison Moore

Alphonse Mucha Wine Label

9 x 12 inches

Oil Painting

Connoisseur Wine Masters Series

_____________

Alphonse Mucha Wine Label Painting -
Such fun painting this Wine Label. I really love the Art Deco / Art Nouveau

artists and I think they make the greatest wine label paintings.

The artists from that period always did so much detail in their work

and you know I just love detail. I think this is what appeals to

me so much in Mucha, Erte and Barbier's work.

I will definitely be painting a lot of wine labels

from that period. In this painting the model is taking a step into
reality with her flowing gown.

______

Alphonse Maria Mucha listen (help·info) (24 July 1860 – 14 July 1939) was a Czech Art Nouveau painter and decorative artist, most well known for his images of women. He produced many paintings, illustrations, advertisements and designs.
Mucha produced a flurry of paintings, posters, advertisements, and book illustrations, as well as designs for jewelery, carpets, wallpaper, and theatre sets in what was initially called the Mucha Style but became known as Art Nouveau (French for 'new art'). Mucha's works frequently featured beautiful healthy young women in flowing vaguely Neoclassical looking robes, often surrounded by lush flowers which sometimes formed halo's behind the women's heads.

Connoisseur's - Wine and Women

9 x 12 inches

Oil on Canvas

I am having such joy painting this series. It makes me happy and makes me laugh. Here the fellow gives me the feeling of a bit of voyeurism the way he is a bit hidden in his chair enjoying a nice glass of wine and the beauty of this pretty woman.
Will she step out of the frame and enjoy a glass of wine that is waiting for her on the table?

...and yet another touch of Red!

Why I Use Canvas Hardwood Panels

Hardwood Panels and The Masters

Canvas is perceived by many people to be the best support for painting, but hardwood should not be shunned and in fact some would argue that it is a superior support as it is rigid, not flexible like canvas.

Many of the paintings that have survived the best from previous centuries are painted on wood panels. The surface being more rigid tends for less cracking of the paint.

Old Masters of the 14th & 15th centuries such as Michelangelo, Picasso and Van Gogh used wood panels primed with a chalk like material for their work as there was no canvas.

The Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1503-06 survives today and is painted on wood and in almost perfect condition and with little cracking.

Although they are quite time consuming to construct, I have chosen to use Custom Made Gallery Wrapped Linen Canvas
Hardwood Panels for all of my paintings.

MY CUSTOM FLOATER FRAMES

Although I do paint the sides of my paintings for those who prefer "not" to frame. I thought it would be nice to offer a beautiful, simple frame for those that "do" want to frame their paintings.
Many of my paintings include floater frames but may still be purchased without if you prefer.
If you see available paintings that are not framed upon request we will make a frame for you.
These frames are custom made for my paintings only and not for sale to other venues.
Please contact me for information.
