Happy New Year!

Thanks to all of you that have followed and checked out

my blog.  Sharing my paintings with you is a 

pleasure and a great privilege.

I very much appreciate your encouragement 

and support!

This painting was done for the Daily Paintworks

challenge to paint fabric.  It just

happens to be one of my favorite things to do!

I have a fantastic year planned with some

wonderful painting trips that I'm very excited about.

I'll try to figure out how to post remotely so

that I can take you along with me to share in the fun:))))

After Vermeer's Girl with Hat

After Vermeer's Girl with Hat  10 x 7 oil on board

Vermeer has always been one of my favorite artists.  I did this

simplified three value study interpretation to help

me understand how he painted the light

so well.  I made it

more fun by painting with a few of my favorite colors:

cad yellow medium

quinacridone red

and carbazole violet.

Purple Polka-dot Pot

Purple Polka-dot Pot  6 x 6 oil on board

 

I was searching for striped fabric when I ran across this

polka-dot piece that I had to have. I went

a little crazy with the stripes and dots but

enjoyed every minute of it. Since there

was a lot of action in the light areas I tried to keep all

the darks very simple.

 

This might sound silly but it reminds me of a heavy little

tug boat chugging up stream through a

sea of fabric.

 

I grew up on the water watching the tugboats work

and always thought they were amazing.
