8x10 Oil on Canvas Board I've worked on this one for a couple of weeks....of course it was a wipe off a couple of times....the medium I used is very shiny. I like the way it looks in real life, but it's very hard to photograph. I also have been working on Christmas gifts.......We will be leaving for Ohio Saturday, so I hope I will have a little time to paint.
Brass Pot
8x10 Oil on Canvas Board I started a couple of paintings last week while I was at the Art Market in St Petersburg, Florida. It was a real challange painting from the photograph, it's hard to remember the wonder reflections, especially in the shadows.
Granny Smith
8x10 On Canvas Board This was a fun one to paint...I experimented with a different technique....I did a value underpainting (black, white and gray) with acrylics.....Helen Van Wyk (we have her weekly on our PBS station in St. Pete) does this quite often.....it's a great way to paint. Get those values right and everything falls into place. I've also been working on a new design for my web site.....it's been a busy week. I hope to get a few more paintings with this technique.
Orange Triad
5x7 Oil on Gesso Board I started this one last Spring, just didn't get around to finishing it.....I think this ended up being a favorite.
Brass & Roses
11x14 Oil on Canvas Board This was given to St. Paul's School for their annual fund raiser.....happy to say it SOLD!
Beach Buddy
11x14 Watercolor on Watercolor Paper I've had 3 wipers (What Carol Marine calls her paintings that were trashed or wiped off). So I decided to post my class project for the next two weeks. I'm scheduled to be at the Art in the Park in St. Petersburg today, but the rain is moving in......so maybe I'll just get to paint all day.
