Sugar N Orange - Day 12

12" x 12" Oil on Canvas
This painting is very "High Key", the Impressionist, especially Monet painted with in
this value range.  My problem is getting a good photograph.....the colors look "chalky" in the
photo, but are very bright in real life.  Today I'm going to try to play around with
different locations with various light sources.  I have a "photo box" with lights
but they seem to wash out the painting.  If I get a better one I'll be sure to post!
Having sooooo much fun, plus I have 12 new paintings!!! Yea! Yea!

Cherries Squared - Day 11

Image
12" x 12" Oil on Canvas SOLD The challenge today was to paint RED ! How many reds in the paint world are there! Well I think a lot!!!!! I had at least 6 tubes out ........the transparent  of the skin was the hardest to get.....I love the yummy reds against the cools of the table cloth.  I added a little light green, but it didn't show up in the photograph.  This painting is much better than the picture.... you can't see the impressionist colors juxtapose together.   Anyone doing the challenge can't help but get better......what fun!  Thanks Leslie!

All I can say is WOW! David A. Leffel did a demo at Longboat Key Art Center, this was the third day of his workshop.......couldn't afford it, but just couldn't miss seeing the master at work. It was wonderful, he is the best! Also I purchased his book (out of print from 2003) from Gallery M in Sarasota, they had one of his paintings. So I got it signed and he was just a gem......thanked me for coming and purchasing his book. I've had the opportunity to see several pieces in Galleries out west and let me tell you they are just awesome!!! This has made my year!!!
