Tall Molly

This is Molly. I love her stretched-up tall posture. She lays the most beautiful earthy olive green eggs. Tomorrow we'll see how they taste.

Two Buds

This is another painting inspired by my bud, Carol's, reference photos she shared with me. I thought the title was appropriate. :o)

It's Simple

This is another painting inspired by my friend Carol's reference photo. I love the simplicity of it. I tried two new things with this piece. I usually tone my panel before beginning but decided not to for this one. So I began with a white panel. This allowed me to discover the second new thing. When I was creating the glass jar, rather than painting all the white highlights, I used my rubber scraper to remove paint, leaving the white panel beneath. It worked beautifully! I'll definitely be using this technique again.

Did You Say Walk?

Sumo Pair

Oh pears...how I have missed you! I painted this last week. I'd worked all morning on a landscape and after completing the entire thing, ended up wiping it. Trying to fix what wasn't working wasn't working either. But I hate to end a painting session that way and hey, I had all afternoon, so chose my favorite subject and began another. I'm so glad I did. Not only am I really pleased with it, but I thoroughly enjoyed painting it. Could be because it was a familiar subject...could be becasue I was working from my friend Carol's image...it was probably both that had me smiling the whole time. :o) I couldn't help but seeing two Sumo wrestlers resisting each other the way they do.

The Gift of Friendship

When my buddy Carol Marine was here visiting recently, of course, we got to talking about art and creating it. The subject of reference material came up and how we have thousands of images, but lose the initial enthusiasm we had when they were first taken. Carol had the BRILLIANT idea of spending time looking through each other's images and choosing some we could draw inspiration from. Well, I think I got the good end of this deal as Carol's reference photos are as artistically stunning as her paintings! This is the first of many I'm excited about doing. It's fun to paint places and flowers and scenes you wouldn't get images of otherwise. As always, thanks for the inspiration, Carol!
