Pink flower painting, Small oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8" Original art

I wanted to practice painting flowers, and found a reference in my files.

Purchase here

Trying hard to put into practice the techniques Elio Camacho tries to push into my head.  Brushwork, color relations, composition, the bride!  Not sure if I was successful, but, there is always tomorrow!

Thanks for viewing my blog today.

Abstract Seascape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" Textured Art, SOLD

This small seascape is a study for a much larger piece.  The only question in my mind is "How large?"

SOLD
I am very happy with the understated color which makes the brighter hues really pop.  I am not sure if it would be call an abstract or impressionistic.......what do you think?

What I do know, I really enjoyed painting it and want to try it again and go BIG!

Thanks for reading my blog today

Peony Still Life Giclee, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 14x18x1.5" Canvas Print

I painted this peony oil still life recently, at a workshop.  I was concentrating on brushwork and values.  The original is NFS, but I liked it enough to offer a limited number of prints.

order print here

My workshop paintings have a different feel than most of my artwork.  I think it is from the high level of concentration, that I feel in the classroom.

Expressionist Painting, Seascape, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 9x12" Oil

Well probably your 5 yr old kid could do this....right?  Maybe that is why I enjoy it so much.

purchase here
 I may be a slow learner, because it took me many years to get to this point.  Mama never said I was the sharpest knife in the drawer.



All kidding aside, I really love the freedom of this piece.  Instead of leaving the studio feeling like I have been fighting for hours, I felt very relaxed, happy and ready to sail through the day.  I think I need to do this more often!

Thanks for reading my blog today.

Blue Study Floral, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 12x16" Oil on Canvas Covered Panel

Have you ever done a painting, featuring just one color?

Purchase Here
 I have to say, it is not easy, but an excellent exercise.  At first, it is easy to see warm blues, from cool blues, but as time goes on, they all start blending together.  At least, that is my experience.


It was a relief to work on the flowers, just to ge a different color on the canvas.

Next up, a red painting?  There is a saying that reds are the most difficult.

Have a happy day!
