Konnie Laumer

My name is Konnie Laumer, an artist living in Colorado. I'm a self taught artist working primarily in Acrylic paint, I also work with pin and Ink, water color and what ever else feels good at the time. My work is very diverse as I don't like to fit into any one style or subject matter. I like to keep it fresh, flowers and butterflies one day, a city scape, abstract, or animal. I'm most known for my abstracts and textured city scape paintings, although many people favor the flowers as well. I love working with pallet knife as much as the brush and incorporate both in many of my paintings. Metallic paint often times makes it's way into most of my work. Sometimes that is all I use. I love to blend metallic paints together and create very reflective scenes. You won't ever see my painting about dark things, I feel life has too much of that and art should pull you out of a bad day. My goal is to take the viewer to a different place or see the humor in a smirk from an orangutan with the title "So, you say you like red heads?".

My most recent show is at The Broadway Gallery in New York City for the June International Artist at Home & Abroad Series starting June 6 thru June 28, 2012. I have prints available of the three abstract pieces that will be on display in the gallery.

ART by KONNIE LAUMER

Here you will find a sampling of my art. A lot of my paintings have a heaving use of metallic, iridescent, and lame paint. I create abstracts, realism, portraits, and an array of other subject matter. You can’t place my work into any one category as I love to mix it up and keep it fresh and diverse. I'm a self taught fine artist and have a degree in graphic design with which I worked in the field for many years. Now I strive to paint full time.

My most recent show is June 2012 at The Broadway Gallery NYC, and I will be showing three abstracts. If you like my art, contact me for more info.

This is 15th & California during the 2008 Democratic Convention hosted by the city of Denver. I was so captivated by the setting I had to paint it.

Baby Elephant “Baby Elephant”

SIZE: 24" X 30"
DIMENSIONS: Acrylic and Metallic Paints
YEAR: 2010

This is my first painting of the new decade. To me this baby elephant represents the birth of a mind that will remember everything that it has awakened to. Even though they are so wrinkled and rough on the exterior baby elephants are viewed as one of the cutest and most vulnerable species, well protected by their elders. They look so foreign in nature to us yet we can see their kindness and intelligence in their eyes.

Island on the Lake. A sanctuary, a get away, a place to be alone. This painting takes you there.

This painting was painted with mostly metallic and iridescent paints to give a real reflective feel. I love painting on this size canvas too. It's a perfect size for a pint size masterpiece that can go in the best places. Amazing color any angle you look at it. Amazing clouds with the traditional master painter feel.

Playing In Another Reality “Playing In Another Reality”

DIMENSIONS: 30" X 36" X 1.5"

YEAR: 2012

Oh so fun and fluid this painting is. Bright bold colors next to vibrant metallic gold, antique gold, bronze, silver, copper, then soft touches of marbling here and there along with a splash or two for movement. This painting is signed on the side giving you a chance to explore it four different ways. I can't decide which way I like it best.
