Window Filled With Color

Window Filled With Color  20 x 20

After and extended holiday where I took a break, I'm back to
painting and loving every minute. I didn't do absolutely nothing,
I did lie around alot and read books about 
goal setting and achievement.

I received a Fitbit for Christmas (that wirelessly tracks your activity level)
and that might have been a hint for someone special;)
It actually thought I was in a coma for a while and would
have called in a medical alert if it could have.

I'm re-energized and ready to create a wonderful 2014.
Hope you are too!

PS- prints for my European friend should go out the first of next week.

Green Cabin

Green Cabin  8x8 oil on board

There is a campground near my house with small cabins for rent painted
in different colors.  Most of the people that visit are Dutch, who 
find summer and fall in Burgundy quite warm.

The green one really caught my eye against the colorful leaves.

These colorful flowers brought a smile to my face
this morning.
They seemed to be dancing in the sunlight.

Red Barn

Red Barn 5x7 oil on museum board

One of the things that impressed me the most in the
workshop with Ovanes Berberian was watching
him do a demo from a black and white rough sketch.

He did the painting largely from imagination, and
suggested that we do the same, either from a
previously painted painting or a loose sketch,
revisiting the same scene or subject multiple times.

I really enjoyed painting this and found it was much
easier to ignore local color and just create my own
color scheme.

Cosmo Down

 
Cosmo Down 6x6 oil on board
 
 
This is another version of the glasses done on a
palette that was tinted the same color as my under painting
on my board.
 
I think I'm getting used to it, although it's a bit
confusing. To me the colors
seem to harmonize and pop more.
 
What do you think?
