Optical illusion on canvas.

“Lilies Duet” oil painting on canvas 20”x20” is my firs painting I did in Trompe l'oeil technique. This was one of my long term projects that took me two years to finish, but it was very interesting one to work on and I am happy with the result.
Trompe l'oeil, (French for 'deceive the eye') is an art technique involving extremely realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects appear in three dimensions.

"Snow Lace", original oil painting on canvas 11"х14"
This painting was part of my demonstration for oil workshop I was teaching last weekend.

Comments on my oil workshop:

I became familiar with Varvara’s work several years ago when my husband and I visited a local gallery and greatly admired her painting. Ultimately, we purchased an original watercolor of hers and it hangs in our vacation home. I e-mailed her about the possibility of doing workshops. Happily, she e-mailed me back with the opportunity to participate in what was the ABSOLUTE BEST painting workshop I have ever taken! Varvara has not only the ability to execute an exquisite painting, but also the unique ability to communicate and share her knowledge. All this, along with her availability to her students long after her workshops as a consult is invaluable. I highly recommend Varvara as a teacher and mentor. I will definitely continue to participate in any workshop she has because the amount of knowledge she has to offer is immeasurable.

New Year’s Reflections
Looking back on the months gone by,
As a new year starts and an old one ends,
We contemplate what brought us joy,
And we think of our loved ones and our friends.
Recalling all the happy times,
Remembering how they enriched our lives,
We reflect upon who really counts,
As the fresh and bright new year arrives.
And when I ponder those who do,
I immediately think of you.
Thanks for being one of the reason
I'll have a Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to my dear friends and family!!!!

I was teaching a watercolor workshop at the begining of December. I had amazing group of artists. Some of them are already established artists, some were improving their skills and some were discovering a watercolor as a media. All of them created wonderful paintings during workshop! It was such a pleasure to have such gifted people in the class!

New Year Quotations:

"Today is a new day. You will get out of it just what you put into it... If you have made mistakes, even serious mistakes, there is always another chance for you...for this thing that we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down."
-- Mary Pickford

"We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day."
-- Edith Lovejoy Pierce

"Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

I like to paint the small paintings before I move on a bigger scale. It gives me some sense of color pallet and composition for the future paintings, but some ideas just simply look great in a small size.

Most of you already know that I lost my job. The Little Sebago Gallery closed for good and Casco Bay Frames did not work out. It’s hard to predict what will happen in a future, but I’m trying to think positive and looking forward for whatever is coming next. Last few months where insane and I did not have time and energy to paint. Now, while I do not have a job, I will come back to my paint brushes!

Hello Everyone,
I have some sad news.

The Little Sebago Gallery is going to close for good tomorrow, November 7th. I worked there for almost 7 years. It was a great place to work, meet new people and make new friends. Many of my customers have asked me where I will be working after the gallery in Windham closes. Well as they say, when one door closes, another will open! I will start working at Casco Bay Frames in Portland on November 16th.

This year was very difficult economically for many art galleries. Besides the Little Sebago Gallery, these art galleries have also recently closed – the Lincoln Art Gallery in Lincoln, NH; the Art District Gallery in Boothbay Bay, ME and the Northport Art Gallery in Northport, ME.

Most of my paintings have returned back home and are now available for sale directly from the artist!
I hope everyone is doing well and all are having a good autumn!

I went on the hike up Katahdin Mountain on September 5th. We got so lucky with weather! I took a lot of great photos from this hike.

The name and the painting itself are still in progress. I was so excited to paint of the views of Chimney Pond after my last hike up Katahdin that I forgot to take pictures of my painting progress from the beginning. I hope to finish this painting by the end of this week.

2009-09-06T20:54:00.000-07:00

Just came back from “easy” walk up to Katahdin. I barely can move my legs but I did not regret my decision to hike. It was absolutely gorgeous day. I reach my goal and clime to the top of Saddle trail (above 4500 feet). I hope someday I will recover from my injury and will be able to hike to the top again. The little “paddle” just below my feet is Chimney Pond (2914’). The view was spectacular! See picture below.

I just wanted to take a moment this evening to let you know that I recently finished one of the largest paintings I have ever done – “Spring at Crawford Notch.” The painting is oil on canvas and the size is 48” x 36” (~53” x ~41” framed size). The scene is showing the view from the valley looking towards the White Mountains.

I have wanted to paint this view for 5 years and was finally able to accomplish this goal! I hope you enjoy seeing this piece!

Crawford Notch is such a beautiful place, that I will probably plan to do some other paintings of this area at some point in the future. For now I would like to show you another smaller painting I did in 2007-2008 of this Notch – however, this view is looking from the White Mountains down into the valley – “Autumn at Crawford Notch” - Acrylic on gesso board 36”x12” (39”x15” framed size).

If you would like to see a larger image, please click on the name of the paintings below:
Spring at Crawford Notch
Autumn at Crawford Notch

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me.

Dear Blog Subscribers,
My apologies for the long time that has passed since my last notice to you about updates to my blog. Finally, I was able to recover and restore this blog mailing list after a computer crash. I was trying to accurately add all my new subscribers to an older version of this list and I apologize in advance to anyone who previously unsubscribed if I put you back on this list again by accident. Please let me know if you do want to receive any future updates and I will remove you ASAP. Thanks for your patience!
I have spent some time improving my web site over the past few months. Last week I put up a new page called PROGRESS where anyone can see short movies of my latest finished paintings as I created them (from beginning to end!). Also, I added a new page called ON EASEL today. This page provides you with a chance to have a "sneak peek" into my studio to see what I am currently working on. I will be changing these images often as my work progresses.

Recently I applied to many national and international competitions and was honored to be a finalist for the following contests:
- The American Artist Magazine’s 2009 Cover Art Competition
- "International Artist Magazine’s" 2009 Flowers & Gardens Art Competition (Published in Issue No. 66)
- "Salon International 2009", a Juried Exhibition of the International Museum of Contemporary Masters of Fine Art in San Antonio, Texas
- Top “Mini50” winner of the 2008 Paint the Parks Art Competition and Show Tour (2008 and 2009)
For more information please visit my NEWS & AWARDS page.

I have created many miniatures and larger-sized paintings since my last newsletter / blog update. I do not want to overload folk’s inboxes with a multi-megabyte newsletter, so I will provide links to my more recent paintings that you can view on my website if you wish.

To see my new still life collection, please visit the OIL paintings gallery and for my small watercolor collection please visit the MINIATURE page.

If you will have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Varvara Harmon

"Three Lilies"'
Original oil painting on canvas 24"x24" is sold.

I will take a break from watercolor miniatures to concentrate my time on a few oil paintings that I have been working on for over a year. One of them has been sitting on an easel for more than 19 months! I think it is time finish them! The “Three Lilies”’ painting has been my priority – it was a commissioned work. I’m very pleased with the result and was glad (and a little relieved) when the new owners where happy with the finished painting.
