Special Events & News
There are so many exciting events happening that I’ve added this special link to pass along the latest news.
*Firstly: My creativity has out-paced my space and to make room for new work, incorporating new techniques, I’m having a TALLY HO! Studio-Wide Inventory Reduction Sale until all of the paintings find their new home.
Small canvases, measuring 8” x 10” to 18” x 24” framed and unframed, are priced $15 to $50. Larger canvases, up to 48” x 36”, framed and unframed are priced at $200 or less.* Its a great opportunity to buy original art for that special place in your heart, and your home.
If you live outside of Austin or have a prior commitment and cannot make it to the studio please visit all the ‘galleries’ on this website: Luminescence Series, Surrealistic Abstracts, Featured Paintings of the Month and the Back Catalog. A simple click on the ‘Add to Cart’ link on the page of the painting you are interested in will get it ordered for you.
The Curator of Amsterdam Whitney Gallery in New York City describes my work with these flattering words …
“Texas artist Mickie Bellah creates beautiful abstract pieces that the viewer is able to appreciate for pure beauty of the combination of vibrant color and texture. Ms. Bellah combines rich, powerful hues to create intensely personal and potent abstract artworks. Her patterns of art are comples and thorough, but also present an immediate arresting presentation to viewers. One of Ms. Bellah’s most notable elements is the way she links dark and light tones, so that small bursts of color fit splendidly into arranged darker sections. The expressionistic nature of her paintings is both darning and meditative, filling a dramatic range within the same image. The paintings are poetic and majestic while still offering an open door to interpretation due to their abstract nature.
“Ms. Bellah’s bold paintings carry a consistent spirit and employ variation on the brilliant coloration., A viewer sees one work and carries the particular intensity of that painting over to the next. When Ms. Bellah’s paintings are seen in succession they have even more potency,because the strength of each painting is multiplied. The buoyant colors unfold across the canvas in a kaleidoscope of color, creating interwoven, encrusted patterns. These combinations create a visual dance for the viewer. Ms. Bellah really is a master colorist who knows how to play with just the right combinations of color, light, and space.”
Painting Classes
We are having a ball with the painting classes. The ‘students’ are producing some incredible work. Classes will begin on January 12. We meet every Tuesday evening and create from 7:00-9:00 PM. If you live in the Austin area contact me to register.
The Collective Art Studio and Gallery, Wimberley, TX

“How to Paint With Thinned Oils”
I’ve been working on a video for the last couple of months showing my painting techniques. The 35-minute DVD is now ready to ship. Get a sneak preview of the DVD by clicking on the “Sign Up For Classes” link.
I always enjoy working with these incredible people who are discovering their unlimited talent, but its not always easy for them to attend the class. With the DVD they can learn and paint at their leisure … even if it is the middle of the night … whatever suits them best.
I’m offering a special Winter Introductory Price of $19.95 with free shipping for a limited time.
