Evening Solitude

"Evening Solitude"

About This Painting:
I loved this interesting old tree on Sanibel Island and took a few pictures of it from different angles. I added the Great Blue Heron for more interest. I just wanted to hide a bird in all those branches!

At the River

"At the River"

About This Painting:
This is from Silver Springs Florida. It was morning, I thought the reflections were just lovely. Birds where everywhere. I like the impressionistic style of this painting. I wanted to try to capture that magical feeling you get when you know you are experiencing God's presence through His creation.

Painted Paint, A paint horse up close

"Painted Paint"

About This Painting:
This was inspired by Kathy Papasso's painting called "Bull's Eye" which I have always thought was an exceptional painting (see my side-bar for her work).

I wanted to capture the texture and close feel of the fur, but the eyes quickly took over to become the focal point. I used two pictures of Paint Horses, and two of Thoroughbreds for references. Then I free handed the drawing onto the canvas before I began painting it. It has taken over a month to finish it.

Oak Study, Plein Air Painting

"Oak Study"

About This Painting:
I went to the coast and painted with my plein air group today. (Worked on location outside.) This old oak blew over years ago. The way it grew back interested me because of its very graceful shape. If I use it for a larger painting I will add a muddy bank and some water and a rope swing hanging over the water, now that sounds fun!

Ready to frame.

Garden Stream

"Garden Stream"

About This Painting:
I started with the palette knife, but got to adding more detail with a brush. This painting was not working out so well at first, so I reworked it for a better composition. This was done by toning down some of the bright colors that were in the foreground. That pushed the focal point onto the red flowers in the middle ground, which is what I wanted. I also added more sky in the trees. I just love the stained glass effect that came about in the trees.

Ready to frame.

Purity, palette knife floral

"Purity"

About This Painting:
This little palette knife painting was done alla prima, or all in one session. This causes the thick paint to mix colors in interesting ways, as the paint is applied wet over wet. This technique is fast and fun to do. I also love the abstract quality and the texture that it creates.

Ready to frame.

Wildflower Clusters

"Wildflower Clusters"

About This Painting:
These wildflowers out by the fence really caught my eye. I was interested in the variety of bright colors. Pink, orange, yellow, and white all right next to each other. I used the dark background to set it all off.

The painting continues on the sides, no need for framing.

Saving Grace, lighthouse

"Saving Grace"

About This Painting:
This was a demonstration for a painting lesson I did a few days ago. I really love these colors. The warm light is a nice contrast to the cool blues and pinks. The rocks were fun to paint too.

Spring's Dawn

"Spring's Dawn"

About This Painting:
Painted this one from memory. Used thick, loose, impressionistic brush strokes -- too much fun.

I see this old oak tree often, as we drive into town. Once all the vegetation grows in thickly again, the water will become very hard to see. But right now it can look so blue it seems fake. The dark branches just add to the effect. So I thought I would try to capture it in a painting.

Tears

"Tears"

About This Painting:
For my Daily Painters 'out of the box' theme on Wed. Definitely something out of my comfort zone!

I have been working on this for a few weeks. It wasn't intended to be a self portrait, but I did use myself as a starting point, then I thinned out the eyebrows and plumped up the lips. I used thin layers of interesting color combinations, like orange and violet, or light blue in the shadows. I really like the colors.

Ready to frame.
