"Slice of Apple"


8 x 10 Oil on Canvas Board
This wasn't one of the most successful paintings......I'm not too happy with all the detail.....I like it more when there is more paint in a painterly manner. As John Denver said in a song "some days are diamonds and some of stones". This was not a diamond painting. I still have to keep reminding myself this is a quick study. Just for practice!

Summer is Here! Starting this week, after many problems with the upload I finally got the Supply List and the Flamingo Video upload to Youtube.  This is the beginning of a special Summer Series, step by step, painting projects.  They are small, less an hour paintings to keep you paining this summer. The videos can also be seen on my website, under Video Tutorials. If you have any questions please let me know ...... Enjoy!

After a great trip North to South Carolina, DC and Boston, we made it back to the Sunshine State!  Everyone thinks it hot here, well it's hotter in SC and  DC.  Plus they don't have that wonderful ocean breeze. We had many adventures, plus a few internet problems.... I forgot how slow slow can be! Our Summer Series is on Week 5 with the Octopus....you can see the video on  my youtube channel. We will finish the series next week with the Seahorse.  I hope you've enjoyed the projects. I plan on incorporating the new colors; Lemon Yellow or Permanent Yellow,  Cadmium Red, Permanent Rose or Quinacridone Red, Cobalt Violet,  Manganese Blue or Cerulean Blue. I finally decided after 30 years of the normal palette (Burnt Sienna, Gamboge, Hooker's Green Dark, Ultramarine Blue, Indigo, Alizarin Crimson and White Gouache) it was time for a CHANGE! Happy Painting!

6"x6" Oil on Panel Since I was in the citrus mood, I decided to paint orange slices on a plate. I just love this plate it came with a little cup, which is also square. I love the abstract element in this one. Plus the wonderful reflection in the shadow on the plate.
