Wine Glass and Friends

I haven't gotten around to setting up my own still life yet.  So I borrowed this photo from Wet Canvas.  Thankyou Brenda B for taking such a wonderful shot.  I'm really happy with how it turned out. I surprised my self with how dark I did go in the bg, it works great with the light coming in on the grapes and glass. Thanks everyone for looking in and if you like please add a comment.  Love to read them.

A Blue Mirror

Hi

   Well I thought I would share with all of you what our YOP ( Year of
Painting) was for October.  Thank you Ann  for providing the photo.  I am so happy with myself  for actually painting this, I don't usually do cars or trucks.  I spent  a whole afternoon just doing the truck with the different glazes of red and then the darks in the window and on the front. Completed the rest of tre painting the next day.   I did the background very undetailed because I wanted this truck to shine.  I named this Blue Mirror because when I finished and looked, the side mirror was blue. It shined in the photo because this is the love of who ever owns it, so it should shine in a painting too.  Please comment love to read them and thank you all for viewing this.

Lady Bird

    Here is our latest YOP (Year Of Painting) for the month of September. Thankyou  mensatic at Art Morgue
 for your photo.  I find our lady cardinals every bit as beautiful as the males.  So my goal in this painting was to give her striking colors so yes she would sing also.  I'm very happy with how this turned out.  I hope all of you find her attractive as I do.  Thank all of you for viewing and commenting.   Means a lot to me.

Cactus Land

 Good Morning to everyone.  I wanted to share one of the paintings I completed from a wonderful week I had in Florida.
 Our Painting Friends Forum got together in Florida last week.  All of us spent a whole week painting, dining and having a great time.  This painting is the result of a lesson taught by a wonderful artist and great friend from Texas, Mollie Jones.
 What a treat it was to watch her paint and follow her suggestions on how to do this painting.  Thanks Mollie again.
  I call this Cactus Land since it reminds me of the game Candy Land with all the happy, bright colors I used.  I hope this little painting brings a smile to all of you and brightens up your weekend.
  Thanks for viewing and I love comments.
