Oil paintings

2010-05-12T12:18:00.000-04:00

I am often asked whether I use oils or acrylics. The answer is both (that's why I always write "Acrylic and Oil Paintings by Lena Karpinsky". I also use various mediums and additives to achieve the deep texture, to blend colors and so on...

Please do not ask me about specific brands of acrylic or oil paint. I use everything they sell in the art stores. Each type and each brand has pros and cons - for a specific use.

Recent changes on the www.ARTbyLENA.com website:

Custom orders (commissions) now support size change for some standard formats. For example, if the original painting was 48"x24", you can order not only the original size, but also 36"x18" or 60"x30".
Discount coupons now work in % also, not only in $
Home page is now Flash-free, which is a step towards better support of iPhone and iPad and less memory consumption. a jQuery-based slide show is used instead of Flash.
Some of the left menu links are moved to the top menu bar

Hope you enjoy the "renovated" Lena's website

Violin Painting

2010-02-26T23:16:00.000-05:00

A new music artwork from my "Silent Sound" series: "A Romantic Pause"

Enlarged version of the "Dancing"

2010-02-21T15:42:00.002-05:00

This is a commissioned artwork that I did in the beginning of 2010 for a private home in Florida. It's based on my original "Dancing" painting. The new height is 48". Original was 36". In the new version, the figures of Saxophone player, Dancer and the Contrabass player kept their shapes, but appear more "smooth", because the palette knife strokes were the same size - on a larger canvases.

ARTISTS, BEWARE!

I just found several photos stolen from my website, www.ARTbyLENA.com here:

http:// www.made-in-china.com / showroom / aport512

Note that all photos have the watermark CnArtPort.com, which (keeping their spelling)

is one of the leading factorys and exporters of hand-painted oil paintings located in Xiamen, China. Xiamen island is the world garden city, is the biggest oil painting production center in china.

They do...

Oil reproduction of old masters and modern masters paintings: Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Degas, Klimt, Cezanne, Renoir, Kandinsky, Miro, Picasso, Matisse, Klee, Keffee, Vetrriano and Lempicka, etc...

- and, apparently, Lena Karpinsky! While I am very happy to be in the "etc." of this list of Art Giants, I still do NOT like illegal copies of my paintings being made...

Well, that's probably all I could do: post this message. As far as I know, those guys do not obey any copyright laws. Sad that some people prefer buying low quality copies instead of original art.
