Glow

Glow


9 x 12 Oil on Canvas Panel.
This is the demonstration piece I painted for our local Brush & Palette Club. Our main goal was to get everyone to loosen up and have fun. I think we accomplished that. For my demo piece, I wanted to do bright glowing colors. I can see several different things in this painting. How about you?

Old Barn

Old Barn

5 x 7 Oil.
This is the 3rd of 7 small oil paintings I'm doing for a special project. I was trying to capture the look of an older barn. As always, I love the different colors of skylines.

Mystic Waters

Mystic Waters

8 x 8 Acrylic.
This was another experiment with my blending technique. The Brush & Palette Club I belong to has asked me to demonstrate my abstract technique since I'm probably the only one in the group that paints many abstracts. We decided to make it a hands on class. Since some members prefer acrylic, I wanted to see how my usual way of painting would work with it. While I still prefer oils, I'm pleased with how this one turned out. I love how the colors blended and may want to do some more experimenting with acrylics.
