Cuppa Joe

Cuppa Joe

5 x 7 oil. This is #5 of 7 in the small paintings project I'm working on. I'm please with how the coffee cup turned out & think I managed to pick up highlights and shadows. The steam may need to be re-worked at some point. I re-worked it several times already and am still not sure I like it. For now, though, I'm letting it stay as is.

Evening Sky



Evening Sky

5 x 7 Oil. This is #4 in the series of the small paintings project I'm doing.

Abstracts are my favorites. I love the ways the colors in the sky on this one turned out.
It's been almost a month since I've had a chance to paint. It's wonderful to be back to it!



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.
