Shopping with Kids

Shopping with Kids 8" x 10" oil on board

There is something universal about shopping with young kids

no matter where in the world you are. The parents never

seem to have enough hands!

This is a market in Munich that we visited when we flew to

visit our German friends.

Viktualeinmarkt

a tradition since 1807.

Kids are kids everywhere except of course in France

where they are trained to sit through a three hour lunch and

act like little angels-

how do they do that?

This piece is offered by auction- price begins at $100

Calle de Calle Lillies

Calle de Calle Lillies

6 x 6 oil on board

Lately I've been in my studio just playing around and experimenting.

I spent the entire week doing nothing but applying lots and lots of thick paint.

You never know what's going to happen later from that special creative time without the pressure of finishing a painting.

Does anyone else do that?

Canal Cafe

This painting of one of my favorite cafes was done on the Burgogne half of my recent sejour in France. The barges run up and down the canal but I enjoy biking on the voie verte, or painting! Both very relaxing;)

Sur la Sorge

While in Provence we stayed in L'isle Sur La Sorge. It's a lovely little town and is a destination antique hunters. The afternoon lighting on this walking street really got my "wow" factor going.

Angel and Deamons

Angel and Demons 9" x 12"

This courtyard in Beaune could be 500 years old and seemed to be filled with mysterious spirits.

Sorolla's Courtyard

Sorolla's Courtyard  12 x 8 Oil on Board 

I had the pleasure of visiting Sorolla's house in Madrid.  His studio was wonderful and his house is filled with his paintings and beautiful loose studies he did for the Visions of Spain series. Like alot of other artists he spent alot of time designing his garden.  This is my study of his entry with a refreshing shady courtyard that was a delightful contrast to the blazing Spanish sun.

Ripe Melons

I do lots of small studies to see if I'd like to do a larger version. This is an 8 x 10, oil on  board, professionally framed and ready to hang.  I've decided to sell this painting in an online auction at Daily Paintworks.  If you're interested go to http://www.dailypaintworks.com/Artists/bbingham-226
Thanks!

Shady Side

It's super hot here in Malta right now.  It's a good idea to stay on the shady side of the street. The title was easy for this little painting.  8 x 10 oil on board
