Three sketches by Gloria Poole

watercolor sketch of white paint [horse] by Gloria Poole

graphics created art Penguin by Gloria Poole; signed on computer with digital ink also

acrylic sketch "Imitating Renoir" by Gloria Poole

I am adding three sketches I created with different mediums. The top one of the white paint is watercolors on paper; the second one is computer created by me {Gloria] using a graphics program & signed that way also. And the third sketch is acrylics with brush on sketch pad. I am not sure why the 3rd one looks so grainy when enlarged to original size. There is some thing strange about this blog.

Micah painting inspired by scripture painted by Gloria Poole

"Micah" painting from Bible scripture; by Gloria Poole; 2006

This is a painting I painted in 2006 because I was living in Colorado at the time, and had met a real Indian there as casual acquaintance, who told me that the Indian reservations were not a good way of life, and that it was very hard for them.  So, I was trying to depict a fading way of life.   It is NOT a real person, but a "ghost".   Also, there is a scripture in Bible that inspired it. I moved to Missouri on Oct 31, 2009 after second divorce that happened in Colorado, but I was born in state of Georgia. 

I also added more paintings I painted to my blog at: https://gloriapoole.blogspot.com; and also https://gpoole817.blogspot.com.  I add art to my blogs sort of with a purpose in mind usually. But most of the time, the "people" I paint are not real people. 

I am a white, single, Christian woman, and I have painted about 20-25 "ethnic paintings" of different make-believe people in native costumes, and sometimes with native props to attempt to show different cultures and ways of life.  The ethnic paintings are intended to foster good will between races. GOD is Love to all people according to John 3:16. KVb.

Anxiety Oil Painting by Gloria Poole

Anxiety portrait by Gloria Poole aka Gloria; surreal painting; 2013 in oils on canvas

This is an oil painting on canvas, that I Gloria Poole, painted to attempt to show with surreal art,  the stress and anxiety really old people feel if they do not have good family support. I suppose this is sort of modeled after a man who was my neighbor when I was a child, and whose wife died about 20 yrs before he did, and who seemed sort of lost whenever I would go his house to say hello to him.  It is sort of as I remember he looked; but he died when I was in high school so I don't think it's exactly like him but he did have a shock of white hair.  Obviously this painting was sitting lop-sided on my chair as I photographed it. I didn't realize it until I had added it to this blog. The light green places represent threats/ fears he had and that I know as Registered Nurse that all very old people experience. You can figure out the eyes.

Also, I added batches of the ethnic paintings I painted over time span of 2006-present to several other blogs of mine yesterday. You might enjoy seeing those. Each blog is unique and each contains art I created all through-out archives as well. Visit those sites of mine at:

Another one of my newest ethnic paintings

One of ethnic paintings I Gloria Poole, painted. It's North Korean oil on canvas.

This is one of the ethnic paintings I painted in the past few weeks to be included in the ethnic series of paintings that I began in yr 2007. This is oil on canvas size 16 x 20 I think --didn't measure it, and the blank  canvases were a gift to me for my birthday from my oldest daughter Jennifer.  And I painted them all up quickly because I had been drawing sketches and cartooning for a while & wanted a change of pace.

I have painted about 26 ethnic paintings in all now including the six in the past month. Many of them have been posted on the web in other places. I hope someday to display all of them in one room or gallery. Also, note, that the paintings are not of real people. I paint them from my head in most cases. Sometimes, I use a costume I saw on a thumbnail in magazine as the clothing, but I do not try to paint real people as a general rule. Part of that is my concern about making "graven images'  which is forbidden in Bible. 

Also, I added another  oil painting of ethnic series that I painted in that same batch to my blog tonite, at http://gloriapoole.blogspot.com.  I add my photos of art I create intermittently to a variety of blogs. I added some blogs just for cartooning & all who have seen those, also like them. One of them is http://cartooning-by-gloriapoole.blogspot.com.

Ocean and Pier oil painting I painted

This is the painting I painted in oils intermittently over a few weeks. I mentioned it on my blog at: http://gloriapoole.blogspot.com to say I was painting on new large canvas. It is about 4 ft wide and three ft tall but I didn't measure it exactly.  I wanted to paint a scene that I remember well from my childhood when I went with my family to the beach in Pensacola [where my mother's grandfather was once Mayor; and where I have cousins still .]  I loved the Pier there but this Pier does not look anything like that one. That one as I remember it had wood that had worn off all paint, and rails on sides and fishing tackle along the edges, and sinks for washing fish. I wanted my painting to be basic Pier with sorta choppy water.
 This painting is on my wall in my front room. I recently competed it and you will see my signature Gloria in script with the year, in the bottom lower left corner. 
 I also added a sketch to my blog today  at http://gloriapoole.blogspot.com. I update my blogs as the mood strikes me & I'm not in a hurry and want to cope with internet & my computers.
Also, for the record, my REAL NAME is Gloria Poole. I am divorced twice from 2 different men [the most recent in Oct 2007 in Colorado; and the first time in GA];  and I moved to Missouri in Oct 2009. I resumed my maiden name after both divorces.  I am the white, single, Christian woman who happens to be a R.N. and artist, and mother of 2 grown daughters,and grandmother of seven minor children; and republican, and prolifer, writer, blogger, photographer., who lives in Missouri but who was born in Georgia. I own the copyright to all works and words I create. I have not assigned my copyright on this painting or on any images of art I created that I photographed and put on this blog, or any blog of mine. I have other blogs. See my about me pages and my profile pages on Google, Microsoft, Yahoo,  for more info, and visit each blog since they are all unique and have different art and words on each. Sometimes there's overlap on purpose if I am trying to make a point.

"Kentucky Bluegrass Hobby" is a sketch I drew & painted; not a real person.

This sketch in acrylics I sketched/ painted and named it "Kentucky bluegrass hobby". It is on other blogs of mine. I am adding it here to clarify. I Gloria Poole {RN} painted this and all sketches, paintings displayed on this blog.  I am a white, christian, heterosexual, single woman. The rider in this sketch is not a real person. I do have an uncle from Virginia that had a black mustache when I was a child, but I have not seen him since the 1990's; and think he moved to West Palm Beach Florida. But I did not have him or anyone in mind when I drew this sketch. He was one of my favorite uncles [on my mother's side of my family] and so it's possible that influenced me. However, as I uploaded it this sketch the other day when logged into a microsoft email of mine and was trying to add it to my album of my sketches I created, Microsoft grabbed it and added it to my family photos! I was not happy. It's a sketch and not of an actual person, {that uncle may not even be alive--he was my mother's age and she died in Jan 2010}. It doesn't look like a photo of an actual event as you see the spiral binder to the left that is the binding on that sketch book of mine.

 I am having to document more and more who I am, where I am, what blogs belong to me. I think it has to do with Copyright. Images of original art I create are copyrighted and I Gloria Poole own all rights to my art I crete. I have never given any one permission to use either my name I was born with and that is my legal name of Gloria Poole, nor have I ever assigned my copyright to anyone except in two cases;  {When I donated paintings to the Eskine Caldwell Museum in Georgia at the request of a member of their board; and to the St Simons Island Georgia Museum  } so the fact that Google search reveals "13 other people named Gloria Poole" sort of upsets me.

 This is intended to clarify to Microsoft and anybody else that I created this drawing from free-hand drawing, painted it with a brush and acrylics, signed it; and own it. I also own all rights to it. And to all art I create. Copyright. Gloria Poole/ gloriapoole aka:  gloria0817; gpoole817; gloriapooleRN; gloriapoole.RN; gloriapoole1749; gloriapoole; gloriapoole with other numerals in some cases [I don't reveal emails in some cases for protection of accounts].

Paintings painted by Gloria Poole

This is a painting in oils that I painted and named "sleeping in a stetson": this is my photo of it, the painting itself is larger. This is NOT a real person. The stetson is modeled after a man I dated after 2nd divorce, who was Southern [as I am]; and who wore a stetson some of the time. I saw him napping in his hat in his truck once at the steering wheel. I did not attempt to paint him for obvious reasons {we broke up in yr 2009} .

 I am updating some of my blogs that have my real name in them today.

This above is a watercolor sketch I drew and painted with watercolors. It is on paper in sketch book. I named it "Anglo-Saxon" . This Anglo-Saxon [ means half English half German] had a broken nose .  This is also NOT a real person. I usually do not try to paint real people. Generally, I think that might be insulting to THE ONE [GOD] who made them. I mostly paint only imaginary people--made up in my mind as I have a brush or pen in my hand.

 I also added seven sketches to another blog of mine today at: http://gpoole817.blogspot.com. When I added those I had not figured out how to make the photos the correct size.

 

This sketch above I drew/painted and named "Brown lady with scarf-hat" . It is a NOT a real person.  It was mostly trying to achieve a certain brown skin tone[ not black, not caucasian; not olive skin tones, and see if I could draw a scarf-hat I saw in a picture, that sort of look tied like a turban, but better--like a woman would do.] I didn't get the scarf-hat right but you can see it anyway. 

Sketches are simple an effort to get a clear direction in my mind of how I want something to look. I draw/paint them quickly, usually in 1/2 hr- 4 hrs at most, in either pencils, watercolors, acrylics, inks, charcoal, graphite. It is as much a learning effort as it is a viewing effort.

I had hundreds of my photos on my repository site at gloriapoole.com when I owned that domain. That content was supposed to have been destroyed since I could not prevent cyber-criminals from breaking into it. But in most cases I have the actual art I created and also backup photos of it. 

 You my see more of my art on my blog at http://gloriapoole.blogspot.com. and on the links on that blog, and on other blogs of mine. Gloria is my born with Christian name, which means glory to GOD.

 I Gloria Poole am a WHITE, single, woman, who happens to be a Registered Nurse, and an artist; and I live in Missouri since Oct 2009. I am originally from Georgia. This sketch brown lady is not me and it is not a real person, to repeat.
