Yesterday at my Monday oil class I had a wonderful surprise.  One of the artists  in the class with me
bought my painting of seagulls at the beach.  I am thrilled.  Thank you Rich.

A Window

Good morning everyone and in keeping my resolution, here is my second post of the new year.   This is an oil done on canvas board 11 by 14 using palette knife only.   I changed this from the original photo by adding flowers and making this look like people actually live here.   I hope everyone has a lovely day and thanks all for viewing.  

Elephants

Happy NewYear Everyone.   My resolution for the new year is to keep this blog updated and not to leave
it slip as I have last year.

Please enjoy this painting and I'd love to start hearing from you again.   Thanks

Waves Study #1

I've never really painted waves before, but since I live near the ocean, thought I'd give it a try.   This is from one of my many photos that I took while at the beach.

The Setup

  This is a painting I did from a still life that i had arranged this summer. I photographed it then but didn't do this painting til just recently, so it is from one of the photos I took.
I chose the name Setup because it came into my mind and I like it.   Please enjoy this summer setup and if you can please comment.   Thank you for viewing.

California Dreaming

Boy it seems forever since I've added a painting to this blog.  I do apologize and plan to keep this as current as I can from now on.   Here is a painting I did for the online workshop I have been taking.  The workshop is in the The Complete Artist and run by Richard Robinson.  For October we have been doing sunrises and sunsets in harmonious colors.   I chose Yellow Orange/Blue Violet for my colors in here with a just a touch of Cad yellow light.  Yellow Orange was made by using Yellow Ocre and white with the Blue violet added in to make it darker.  For the Blue Violet I used Ultra Bl, Cad red light and Al Crim with just a touch of Yellow Ocre to gray it down.   Please enjoy and feel free to comment.

Cherokee Autumn

This is the painting that I will be putting in the window of our gallery  which is located in The Market Common, a new business area near Myrtle Beach, SC.  It will stay there the whole month of September.  I based this painting on a photo provided by Neil Empsall, then completely changed the season from summer to fall and the location of the stream to Cherokee, NC.  I decided on Cherokee since we had a stream very much like this running behind our hotel room.   Thanks for looking and comments always welcome.

A Street In Charleston

      This scene is from one of my photos I took when I was in Charleston.  Sorry I don't know the street's name since I believe this was from the car window as we were driving through.  In the background you can see St.Philip's Episcopal Church, which is one of the oldest in this city.   I painted this for Workshop 23 
on the Complete Artist Site.   This workshop dealt with painting street scenes.  Thanks everyone for viewing.
