Monterey Cypress

4×4″ oil on deep edge canvas A painting from my sisters photo. Last month my sister was in Monterey and took a picture of this tree and sent it to me. My other sister saw it and let me know she’d like it painted big for her bedroom, like 60X48″ I think. It was funnyContinue reading “Monterey Cypress”

Squirrel

4X5″ oil on canvas I was talking to a friend the other day about Amy Ringholtz’s work. As we were looking at some images I commented that she seems confident, and how it even shows in how she signs her paintings. If you’ve been following me for a bit you have probably read about howContinue reading “Squirrel”

Alligator

This one is pretty much ridiculous, but it will launch me to rock star status with my naturalist boys. I was going to paint another apple because they are fun and simple and round. But it was pointed out to me that an Apple is not a Critterscape. I made progress on my 48×36″ dancerContinue reading “Alligator”

So far I have the first hit of the first kid done all the way from head to knees. And I’ve painted the background.Continue reading “Family Portrait”

Green Apple Coming in for a Landing

This was my set up for tonights 4×4″ still life. You can really see in the photograph how the lights and darks are blasted out, too light and too dark. The actual Apple had a lot of color in it. My struggle was that I was painting in the dark and I couldn’t really tellContinue reading “Green Apple Coming in for a Landing”

Floating Olive with Big Shine Mark

The title says it all. Well, mostly all : 4×4″ oil on canvas. When I put down that big shine mark I almost brushed it back off because it wasn’t what I had intended. But I stopped and looked and loved it. Happy accident. We’ve been making a lot of pizza lately andContinue reading “Floating Olive with Big Shine Mark”

Fuji Apple and WIP of Oak Tree Jungle

4×4″oil on canvas. This painting is part of my Critterscape series, however my critterscapes have quickly turned into all sorts of things, so I might need to find a new title. Or no title. I’m painting one 4×4″ painting each day. A friend from college got in contact with me recently and asked if IContinue reading “Fuji Apple and WIP of Oak Tree Jungle”
