Two Paintings for Orphans posted on May 10th, 2012 13

Once again I painted live (in front of people) for an event highlighting the plight of the world’s orphans. Again I made oversized faces. Appropriate, perhaps, for an oversized challenge. Take a moment and consider the art, and the children.

Musicians and Magical Appearances posted on Apr 3rd, 2012 10

It’s a bit of a wonder, the creative process. First there’s nothing, then there’s something. Like magic . . . though it’s not a trick.

Holy Toledo posted on Mar 1st, 2012 22

We went to Oregon for three weeks of painting and printmaking. It was a time and a place “set apart,” as suggested in the title’s adjective. Here’s a brief overview and a peek at the art made.

The Race Not to the Swift posted on Dec 8th, 2011 21

This issue we’re sharing six works that didn’t pass muster in a local competition and some thoughts about doing well anyhow. It’s something for all of us.

Studio Show this Weekend posted on Nov 9th, 2011 7

Here’s a brief e-gallery with only one picture (of 15 paintings). It’s announcing our studio show this weekend. Come if you can; you’ll love it, and we’d love to see you.

Abstracted Landscapes posted on Oct 27th, 2011 8

Always exploring new subjects and ways to paint them, this month it’s abstract landscapes, another way to experience beauty. And we’re inviting you to our open studio show, coming up November 12 and 13. Further info inside.

Tulips in Progressive Polyptych posted on Sep 29th, 2011 33

Here’s a look at the progress of a custom painting with custom colors for a custom space. It’s a sample of what can be done. Our environments can be made beautiful. If it gives you any ideas, let me know.

Elegant Works on Paper at the Laguna Festival posted on Jul 14th, 2011 11

For the fourth year Anne’s fine artwork is being featured and the famous Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach. It’s work for the discerning eye, and it’s work you can own.

Moore Grandchildren Paintings posted on Jun 10th, 2011 34

Children are always a challenge to paint, particularly when they’re your own, or your grandchildren. For all that, here are 12 of ours for your entertainment. (They always entertain us.)

Our semi-annual Studio Show and Sale is happening this weekend. It’s Saturday evening from 4:00 and Sunday afternoon from 1:00. Lots of new work. Also, new workshops coming up. Details inside.

Chamber Concert and Drawings Show posted on Mar 22nd, 2011 8

Today we’re sharing with you announcements of two separate shows, one for just an afternoon and the other for another week and a half. The first really is a concert, with the art an extra, just for the ambiance. Stands to reason: how many art shows have we been to where the music was background.

Three New Monotypes, One Large Lobby Painting posted on Mar 3rd, 2011 8

Besides showing some beautiful and new hand-made prints here we’re also sharing photos of a very large painting now presiding over the lobby of a Christian university in South Africa. And we’ve got lots of dates for upcoming workshops, lectures, and shows…including a Show at the House in May.

Take a moment for art. The paintings here are headed for South Africa . . . at least those that aren’t sold beforehand. Until then, they’re available. If interested, click on the pictures themselves. Or just enjoy the international tour with the light commentary. It’s for the art of our lives.

Again this summer Anne is showing at the Laguna Festival of Art. Here’s a preview, plus a new exploration: Handcrafted Books.

Abstractive Realism posted on May 27th, 2010 22

Art is in very large measure an exercise in creativity. One continues to explore. It can be crazy from a marketing perspective but it’s one of the reasons to be an artist. Also see news about upcoming workshops.

April 24-25 Show, Small Pieces and Large posted on Apr 22nd, 2010 6

It’s this weekend we’re hosting our semi-annual show at the house. And once again we’re showcasing a lot of new art, and some at very, very low prices. See invitation at bottom of post.

The Home, Studio, Gallery posted on Feb 23rd, 2010 16

In the next couple of weeks we’ll be hosting groups like the Laguna Arts Council and the local branch of the American Association of University Women.

Loose Women posted on Jan 21st, 2010 18

Sorry, I couldn’t resist that title. The women here are not loose at all, at least not necessarily. Read on. And check out the upcoming show as well as the Loosen Up workshop offered for Feb. 13-14.

Custom Canvases, or Golden Arches posted on Nov 4th, 2009 22

The last little while has produced two commissions that called for canvases that would fit in arch shaped niches. Here’s a little of the process and the result as they look in their unique locations. Also, here’s your invitation to the next show at the house, and this Thursday’s art walk in Laguna.

Big Boat Splashes Over Wall posted on Oct 15th, 2009 26

Here’s an e-gallery with just one painting to share. That’s in part because this morning we’re running out the door for England. Actually we’ll be flying. (And not sailing, as the shown painting might imply.) Take a minute and enjoy.

Anne Opens at the Sandstone, Fishing Boats of Japan posted on Sep 2nd, 2009 10

Once again Anne is the featured artist at the Sandstone Gallery in Laguna Beach. The opening is this Thursday evening at the ever-popular Art Walk. It’ll be a great summer evening; come out and enjoy it…unless you’re off in Japan, like some of the subjects in this issue.

Acrylic on Paper (a new price point) posted on Aug 6th, 2009 10

For an oil painter, I’ve been doing a good deal in acrylic lately. It’s in part to create works on paper to sell for less than works on canvas. See inside. Also, you’re invited to our up-coming show at the house in the summer. It’s the weekend after next and the weather will be perfect. Click on the following for info: http://www.hyattmoore.com/egallery/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/House-Show-809-Single.pdf

Acrylic Themes posted on May 15th, 2009 18

Painting is always happening around this house and studio, but the subject matter and style can differ from week to week. Or day to day. Here is a number of beach themes, and dancers. Take a quick break and add art to your day.

Easter (or Whenever) posted on Apr 2nd, 2009 16

The Last Supper with Twelve Tribes has been my most popular painting. It continues to move out, and with me along . . . through public speaking near and far. Now a synopsis of that is on YouTube . . . viewable right here on the e-gallery, along with samples of other paintings symbolic of the season.

Enigmatic Influence–More from Anne’s Press posted on Mar 2nd, 2009 17

Enigmatic Influence seemed a fitting title of this e-gallery as it features a number of Anne’s recent creations. Besides that, it announces a number of shows (1) an opening this week of her work in Laguna, (2) both of us included at the La Quinta Art Festival, and (3) a special pre-view and sale this weekend at our studio/gallery/house. For an invitation to that go here: http://www.hyattmoore.com/_media/Loosen-Up-Workshop_March-2009.pdf

Snow Farms of Wisconsin posted on Jan 21st, 2009 25

Here’s a tribute to Winter while we’re still in its midst. Being a Southern Californian, winter is something I visit, like over Christmas, in Minnesota and Wisconsin, where we went for family and frost and a great abundance of snow. After that, it was back in the studio with a lot of white paint.

Works on Paper posted on Jan 2nd, 2009 4

Greetings of the New Year to you. Last blog featured paintings with gold; this time it’s “works on paper.” If this seems a commentary on the direction of the economy it’s only coincidental. We think you’ll find these just as special. Also take note of the classes resuming again in our studio, and a “first” for me, a weekend workshop for artists. For details or to sign up, go here: http://www.hyattmoore.com/_media/Loosen-Up-Workshop.pdf

Investing in Gold (Leaf) posted on Nov 30th, 2008 16

It really has nothing to do with the present state of the economy, but lately I’ve been investing in gold. Gold leaf. It adds a whole new dimension in painting. And these paintings are looking for homes. We’re asking our friends for ideas. Feel free to contribute any suggestions, or share this with others who may have some. Meantime, enjoy the pictures, and the words.

Annual Studio Show this Weekend posted on Nov 5th, 2008 3

It’s become an annual event. Once a year we open our house and studio to all for a weekend of art. In a sense it’s an inventory sale.

A Few Recent Portraits posted on Oct 14th, 2008 11

Commissions have been in focus these last several months, and of those, a good number have been portraits. Portraits: always the most challenging of paintings. Many artists won’t attempt them, and it was awhile before I would. Now it’s a regular thing. Click the link for samples, with their stories…as well as opportunity to get one yourself, and info about our annual Open House and Show coming up.

Sandstone Gallery Features Anne Moore posted on Sep 3rd, 2008 4

Once again, Anne Moore will be the featured artist at Sandstone Gallery in Laguna Beach. The opening is tomorrow evening, during the ever-festive Art Walk. Come if you can. Also this month Hyatt Moore will be featured as guest lecturer-demonstrator at the San Clemente Art Association. You’re invited to that, too. Then, classes are starting again at the Moore&Moore Art studio. For info on all this, and a sample of some fine art, lean in and visit the e-gallery. (How easy is that!)

Paintings at the Gallery in Orange posted on Aug 16th, 2008 2

There’s a show this evening in the city of Orange and you’re invited. Gallery on Glassell in “Old Town” has been carrying my work for a number of years. I know it’s short notice, particularly for those of you a thousand miles away, but I thought I’d at least share a few pieces that will be on display. Call it a moment for aesthetics and be enriched.

The Intrigue of the Cross posted on Jul 23rd, 2008 15

Last time we featured Anne’s work at the Laguna Festival of Arts. The show continues through the summer. Don’t miss it. This weekend only there’s another show featuring my work (along with others’). I’ll have a lot of pieces, many subjects and good prices. It’s in Newport Beach. Address and times are at the bottom of this e-gallery. Hope to see you there.

Laguna Festival Features Anne at Booth A9 posted on Jul 4th, 2008 25

The long anticipated show is upon us and you’re all invited. The Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach is a prestigious event where every year hundreds of artist compete and only a few new ones are accepted. After years of applying for both of us, this year Anne was accepted. Take five minutes and see why.

Quick Draw in the Park, Another Perspective posted on Jun 19th, 2008 15

Every year about this time the San Clemente Art Association sponsors a plein air competition. Painters, including me, have been painting San Clemente this week which will culminate this Saturday with a show and sale. Included will be at least one ala prima painted during the “quick draw.” Take a minute and check it out. (Or take an hour and drop by on Saturday.)

“Movement in Cadmium” and “San Juan Vaquero” posted on May 13th, 2008 18

We left off last time with my introducing a new genre, “Women from the Back.” I showed a couple, along with the drawings that preceded them. In this issue I show another, one that I didn’t see coming myself. It’s pretty dramatic. Then there’s another large piece, from an altogether different genre, “Cowboys from the Side”? Take a five-minute look and tell me what you think. PS I’ll be in Boca Raton, Florida this week, doing some painting as “performance.” Maybe more on that another day…

Women from the Back, a New Genre posted on May 1st, 2008 17

It grew from making those drawings and paintings shown in the last e-gallery, the two fellow classmates viewed from behind. I realized I’d come across intriguing subject matter, something I can only call, “Women from the Back.” Take five minutes and feed your art side.

From Drawings to Paintings, and “Living the Promise” posted on Apr 15th, 2008 20

We’ve been grateful for the response to the first blog, published two weeks ago. It was about drawing and how that’s generally the basis for painting. Continuing that theme, this issue displays a couple of recent drawings that went on to become paintings, and one example Anne’s work, which involved no drawing at all. Take a moment to enjoy the art.

First blog, e-gallery number 35, Drawings posted on Apr 2nd, 2008 27

Hello friends. Here’s our first attempt at a blog. It’s designed as part of the Hyatt Moore website. Click on the link here for a full look/read. There may be glitches; but with your patience we’ll get them worked out as we go. Note, too, the mention at the bottom of a couple of current shows. It’s all a way to stay updated, and to stay in touch. HM
