Fresh Lemon Slice

Fresh Lemon Slice  6x6 oil on board

The patterns of light and dark continue to hold

my interest no matter what my subject is.

What I'm really focusing on is

how to express these

values and colors with loose brushwork

and a variety of edges.

 

This subject literally falls in my lap from 

my lemon trees in the garden!

Lately I've been working behind the scenes

 taking a private week of pure

experimentation and not worrying at all about

the 'finshed' product.

It's a simple luxury that I don't think I

indulge in enough.

 

Play is the soul food of art that keeps me going.

 

Please feel free to share your secrets

about what keeps you going on your

creative journey.

 

More Plane Green Tea

More Plane Green Tea  6x6  oil on board

This is the still life I had in my Still Life Stage when

we had the black out in Malta.

I really like to let a painting sit and then come 

back to it later. 

I just oil over it with medium and go back in.

Waiting gives me a fresh eye and I can

correct my drawing errors more easily.

I just love painting this silly little plane!

Dreaming of You

Dreaming of You  6 x 8.5  oil on board

There's nothing like painting from a live model.

A great model is hard to find,

and I don't know how she does such a 

good job holding those poses!

Blue Cream Rose

Blue Cream Rose  6x6  oil on board

I did this painting for the Daily Paintworks blue challenge.

The parameters were to make it predominately light,

high key, avoid any complementary colors and 

still make the blue focal point pop.

It was an interesting challenge.

I got my entry in just under the wire.  It's been a busy week

here in Malta.  I've got a 25% discount cyber sale on

my website for any painting of your choice.

Butter Cream

Butter Cream  6 x 6 oil on board

Maybe it's the cooler weather that has me thinking more about

cooking.  Food items seem to be showing up in my

paintings.  Go figure!

I started this painting as a demo to show some artists

I am working with how to transition from block studies to

actual still life.  The block of butter was the 

perfect thing to use.  I also started this 

piece with notes of pure color and it

progressively got more realistic.
