Artist Gallery - M. Graham & Co. : M. Graham & Co.

It snowed here the other week and I thought our house actually looked quite nice when half of it was hidden haha. Quick gouache sketch to see if it would work larger in oils. In an etchr_lab sketchbook. . . . #hamptonfallsnh #gouacheillustration #newhampshire #gouache #gouachepainting #gouachesketch #gouacheart #dailypainting #study #painting #painting🎨 #paintingoftheday #paintingoftheday🎨 #artistsoninstagram #artist #sketch #watermedia #art #fineart #sketchcollector #sketchbook #sketchbookart #sketchbookpainting #watercolor #watercolorpainting #gejart #mgraham #winsorandnewton #winsorandnewtongouache

I recently came across this wonderful Dorothy Draper quote, “I always put in one controversial item...it makes people talk”. In English designer Rita Konig’s case, she has Sidney, her Hartebeest head peering down at less controversial items. There is a framed poster that says “Love” (no argument there); and a poster that admonishes us to “Drink More Gin” (well regular dosing DID keep the Queen Mum alive to age 101!)...but ‘Sidney’, he raises some issues. Still and all, I love the notion. I personally believe in ‘peace’ globally, nationally, and civically, but around my dining room table I sometimes like to throw a teeny tiny ‘explosive’ just to get the convo started. (My children can be heard groaning, “She HAD to go there???) Soooo you can just imagine my delight when I came across Dorothy Draper’s decorating genius! (P.S. I took the liberty of making Rita Konig’s walls ‘grey poupon’ rather than pale pink). #interiordesign #dorothydraper #ritakonig #english #hartebeest #controversy #love #drinkmoregin #queenmum #peace #windsornewtonpaint #utrectpaint #gamblinpaint #mgrahampaint #dailypaintworks #pamelachoffmeister

A year ago today, I started this oil painting called "Wash Your Hands" that holds even more meaning now. At the time we were told to wash hands a lot and we were already doing it because we were potty training a 2 year old. So we spent much time in front of the sink pictured here. I started to notice beautiful subtle warm and cool light dancing around the sink and fixture. It was the first painting of interiors I would continue to paint throughout 2020. And it was the first painting in some time that gained international interest, because of its relevance and painterly realism. I'm grateful for all the positive feedback. And now that vaccines are rolling out, I'm hopeful for the future. Now we just have to get past the inauguration and stay home to stop the spread. Much love to everyone.

I just finished moving into my first house!! I'm so excited to finally get back to painting, it's been about a week since I've been able to make art. And of course I can't wait to get my new studio all set up and to show you what it looks like. 🙂 ✨Keeping Secrets✨ is available at my shop!

Here’s a little red barn, painted from a photo off the highway while we were driving from Louisiana to Texas. When we’re on road trips, I often daydream about the paintings I would make of all the gorgeous landscapes I’m seeing. What colors would I mix? Where would I crop? How would I make the brush marks that would give an impression of the scene? I’m sure my husband wonders why I keep squinting and staring out the window. I’m just painting in my mind, if that’s a thing. And don’t worry, I don’t do this while driving! Barn in Beaumont | 9x6in gouache | painting no. 333/1000 | SOLD

Bolt I was asked to paint a wet dog! That was a first. I was afraid he’d end up looking like he had textured hair more than wet hair, but I think it turned out really well #blacklab #labradorretriever #wetdog #labsofinstagram #lab #blacklablove #mgrahamwatercolors #mgraham #mgrahampaint #ottawadogs #613dogs

There's been soooo much good feedback and lot of sales at The Valley Below curation250 through the rest of the month. I'll send out a post in the next couple days with the remaining prints, as there are very few left. You can still view the show virtually and get a price sheet from myself or Curation thru DM or email. 🌇 Here's the final scan of River and Prospect, oil on canvas, 2021

Remember that one time, back when I said I was gonna do a large Quincy Quarries painting? Well I did it over the past week. You can swipe to see the process shots. It was six sessions and who knows how many hours. You can see it in person now at Woodman Shimko Gallery in Ptown. DM me for more info. Twilight of the Gods, oil on canvas, 36x48"

First of the watercolor practice paintings. This is of taylorcheynne who has an abundance of style and grace. She reminds me of a starlet from a bygone era having the adventurousness of Katherine Hepburn and the looks of Grace Kelly. What I mean is she is a delight to paint.

There’s something we all need to accept in this world - Nacho has the cutest face. With fur the colour of every type of honey from alfalfa to buckwheat and eyes of the deepest pools of black, I insist that what I say is true. Of Nacho’s eyes his human has said, “what is this dog magic that makes me unable to say no to anything he wants?!” Like most dogs, Nacho is a mental health advocate. While I don’t believe that dogs love us unconditionally, I do believe that dogs accept us as we are and, for that, we love them to bits. Dogs and humans are, as Donna Haraway puts it, “bonded in significant otherness.” Dogs unconditional acceptance of us and our foibles is one of the reasons they’re so easy to be around. Nobody likes being told how they should be. A dog will never tell you to smile. A dog will make you smile. I know a human or two who could learn that lesson. Dogs do have their demands, of course, but they are the reasonable demands of any living creature - food, shelter, play and snuggles. Oh, and an Instagram account, obviously.

It's been so pretty lately that all I want to do is sit outside and paint. Lately I've been practicing trees, so I want to paint from life, but almost everything in my yard still looks pretty dead. So instead of copying my reference exactly, I made up some imaginary trees inspired by real ones. It was actually really fun, so I probably will do this again soon.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Easter weekend everyone.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #watercolor #aquarelle #ampainting #watercolorpainting #treestudies #watercolortrees #mgraham #pleinairpainting #pleinair #easterweekend #fantasytrees #colorfultrees #paintingfoliage #watercolorartist #landscapepainting #outdoorpainting #fantasyart #watercolors #inpleinair #experimentalart #kidlitart #kidlitartist #illustration #illustrator #mopbrush #springishere

Painted a small portrait version of this in water mixable oils recently. Wanted to try out a landscape format to see if it worked better.

Red-crested cardinal (Paroaria coronata) ~ The Red-crested cardinal is a songbird and actually it is not related to the cardinals: It belongs to the family of tanagers. Found in South-America in subtropical or tropical areas. The shape and size of the beak already gives a hint that the Red-crested cardinal mainly feeds on seeds and fruits. ~ #bird #birdsofsouthamerica #songbird #redcrestedcardinal #tanager #passeriformes #thraupidae #aves #illustration #naturalhistory #naturalhistoryillustration #gouache #mgrahamgouache #mgraham #mgrahamco #painting #nature #ilikebirds #scientificillustration #birdart #art #birds #wildlifeart #artwork #birdsofinstagram #gouachepainting #birdillustration #mgrahampaint #mgrahampaints
