The
Art Work Of Judi Pearl Pulaski
On
this
page you will see a sampling of some of my paintings on canvas,
porcelain, feathers, leaves
and saws. I also love to paint on glass including glass
lamps.
For 20 years I took a group of women with similar interests
to Parke County, Indiana where we found lots of "goodies" to paint
on.
There are so many flea markets and antique shops there, it is a never
ending
supply of neat one of a kind things to find to paint. If it sits
too long...it may end up with a picture on it!
Our favorite place to go to paint is the Ocooch Mountains of
Wisconsin.
We have a cabin there and it offers us so many subjects with the old
barns,
school houses and Amish settlements. The scenery is just
breathtaking!!!
You leave very inspired with lots of pictures to paint from! Some
people like to say we are in the middle of nowhere......we like to
think we are now here!
This feather of a deer was painted and put in a shadow box
lined with leather and glass top - Special order for Wildlife Federation
I will have painted wolves, bears, deer, moose, eagles, etc on these.
Leaf painting is really fun. I
collect the leaves, then preserve them before plainting.
Just about any subject can be painted on the right leaf!
This is a real preserved leaf that was framed
with leather backing for the Wildlife Federation
This real leaf is framed on with leather backing
Price $80.00 Framed size 8" x 10"

was done on a Limoge Decanter. First I did "Malechite"
on
the decanter, then painted the wolf with china paints. It took 9
fires to complete the process.

a blue ribbon on this piece and it went to the China Painting Museum
for
two years in Oklahoma City. It was featured in the

These deer are painted on
Porcelain
eggs. The one on the right is a first fire...painted with yellow
brown #2 and turp only - no oil. This technique was used so it
dried
fast and was easier to handle. It took 4 fires for
completion.
Any animal laying down can be done and I usually do raccoons, foxes,
deer,
cats, dogs, horses, etc.

This picture was painted on
a
porcelain medallion. I saw a similar picture in an advertisement
for bathroom fixtures. It put me in mind of me and my son when he
was a baby and something I just felt compelled to paint.

This is my beloved
little
dog Pompii Cesaer the Pomeranian. I first painted the border of
this
paper weight with 3 shades of green in a malachite pattern. I then
fluffed
him in with rich brown - pulling all of the lights out and making sure
to put his little face in first. I always paint the face and eyes
first so that it seems that the animal is looking at me. I
then
applied washes of yellow brown and black.. Highlights were put on
last using acrylic white and a glass medium that matures in 2 weeks or
can be baked in your conventional oven!

stained
glass and in a gold frame. The colors used on this Victorian
Lady
were glass colors of ruby, raspberry, baby blue, rich brown, portrait

"Kiss Baby" -
painted
on an 8 x 10 porcelain tile. This is my favorite piece.
This
was painted from an antique photo. The background has 9 layers of
black green. Rich brown and yellow brown was used on the wood,
transparency
was used on the hair for the blond effect. The skin was painted
with
Jane Marcks portrait colors. Jane is my favorite porcelain artist
and love her paints. Her paints are used for all the portraits that I
paint.
This picture is framed in an elegant gold antique looking frame with a
cream colored mat. I have printed cards with this design
which
are for sale too....Check
the "Art for Sale page........
(This original painting is $500.00 but I do sell prints of this)
When my sister

My friend Paula from
Nebraska
brought me this tractor seat and a thumb nail sketch of her
father-in-law's
farm to paint. They had Holstein cows and she is a
taxidermist
by trade - hence the pheasant. It was a fun piece to paint once
all
the preparation was done. I love to tell a story and paint on
unusual
items.
Commissioned painting
This painting was done on glass and hangs in a window
or can be displayed on an easel.
This was a gift for my Mother-in-law
She loves to watch birds and especially likes chickadees

Our State WOCP has
compiled
a cookbook and asked that I design the front cover of the book. I
wanted it to depict typical life in Wisconsin and include all the
painted
china that we do. This was painted on an 8" x 8" porcelain
tile.
I first drew out the design directly on the tile and blocked in all the
dark around the plates and china to be designed. At this time
each
plate was designed individually and the plate was fired at 016. I
followed this procedure 3 more times until completion. The first
fire I like to do at 016, then 017 and the final fire at 018.
