Pamela Blaies
Colleyville, Texas
Pamela Blaies unexpectedly discovered her passion for art. A move with her family put her children in sad spirits, so to cheer them up she painted murals on their bedroom walls. With time, she began looking forward to painting more and more. She works in “alla prima” style, a technique in which artists don’t wait for paint to dry and work with layers of wet paint. The effects of light and shadows in the world greatly influence her work.

Artist Statement
I create representational oil paintings using an alla prima technique. This means each piece is completed while the paint is still wet. The time limitation of this technique motivates an energetic pace to my work and helps to keep my inspiration fresh. Using this wet-on-wet technique, I employ thin, transparent washes along with impasto texture to add depth and visual interest to my paintings. Expression and gesture are intriguing to me. I strive to create the impression of emotion, mood or feeling in my work and subtly suggest that there may be more to the story. By dancing between the lines of realism and abstraction to develop each narrative, I hope to engage the imagination and connect on a more personal level.

Hear What Collectors Say About Pamela's Work
I love the intimacy of this painting, capturing a private moment.
Absolutely love this painting. The soft colors and light texture are so beautiful!
It's gorgeous!
This painting is so airy and light it feels like a luminous dance of color and motion. When I look at it, I feel alive with the power, youth, and beauty of my own daughters, now in their twenties. I purchased "She Prefers Her Head in the Clouds" to capture the feeling of my older daughter at this moment in time, and "Gold Cross" to do the same for my younger daughter.
I love the feeling of youthful, vibrant feminine energy this painting evokes. The colors, brush strokes, and composition all create a soulful vitality and sense of mystery that draw me in, and remind me of my own daughters right now in their twenties. I am so happy to have "Gold Cross" to capture the mood of my youngest daughter as she is now, and "She Has Her Head in the Clouds" to do the same for my oldest daughter.
Happy Summer! Be sure and check out the painting demonstration video of "Morning Reflections" to see it created from beginning to completion! Here is the link to watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTQUwL_R25Y
