Birds

Go Back To My Site

 

Here are my latest paintings. I think I have painted enough birds for now and will try something different. The Plein Air group is on the schedule for tomorrow, but the temp is going to be 40 degrees warming up to 55 by noon. Brrrr.... I may be the great indoors-woman tomorrow. If it is not too windy I may venture out.

        

Champaign Reception a Hit

Go Back To My Site
Saw many of my painting buds and networked with art viewers at the Island Gallery Champagne Reception last night. One of the guests was interested in a  commission painting. I hope that materializes.

Painting Grace in the Rain.

How ironic—It is raining cats and dogs outside and I am painting away on Grace at a sunny beach! 

 

This  painting will be glazed in layers, and this is one layer of many layers to come. Each layer needs to dry completely before the next can be applied to keep the colors fresh

 

Although I have never seen Grace in person, I think I have gotten her likeness. The detail dress stripes, highlights, etc. will come last. 

 

Because I started out as a watercolor artist I have a hard time painting from dark to light instead of light to dark although I have found that it really isn't critical. 

 

I love including hands and feet in paintings just for the challenge. Grace's will be a challenge. At this stage they need work, but that's half the fun—figuring it all out!
