oil on gessobord 8x8 I signed up for the new 30 paintings in 30 days, but have been very busy with unexpected things that have taken time away from painting.

oil on gesso board 5 x 7 Before enjoying this orange, I decided to snap a few photos of it while peeling it. Always enjoy a delicious juicy orange, and this one was good. Painted it in two sittings, first, letting the orange of the fruit color dry for a week. On finishing it I "oiled in" and painted in the white and shadows of the orange and adjusted the background ..read more

8 x 10 oil on gessobord Dusk on the Canal The reference photo of these boats was so dark it was very hard to make out the shapes and colors of the scene. I use a free photo editing site that is called BeFunky. It is great for adding text, fixing colors and exposure, but mostly for fixing a photo that is a little tilted. My challenge to myself was to paint loose and delete details. My brain is wired to love detail. Hard to paint loose for me. Spent a few days on this one ..read more
