roads

This is the road that runs past my place. The sun peeked

out, and I had to paint it!

Oils on gesso'd board 9"x 20" 3 hrs.

silver linings

This is a scene from my front yard. I took artistic licence, because

Stapleton Kerns said I could!(ha)

The trees are there, but the creek is really the road in real life.

9"x12" gesso'd board 2 hrs.

Babe

I wanted to paint Renee today.

this is from a photograph I've had since high school.

I worked in Zorn palette. It was tempting to use

blue, but didn't. I'll tweek some things, but this is pretty much it.

8"x 8" oils on gesso'd board. 3 hrs.

Sunday Service

I have to admit, the fall colors are in peak.

A simple stroll through the neighborhood

is all I had to do for this painting.

"I'm doing the trip" A statement I heard

refering to the tasks at hand.

Happy Fall painting everyone!

oil on gesso'd board 5"x 7" (2hrs. of fun!)

Sunday Painter

What a beautiful day to paint! The fall colors are here.

I went out to the backyard, and painted a maple tree.

The sun and shadows kept moving, and so did I.

2.5 hrs. oil on gesso'd board. 5.5"x7.5"

Stape!

Well here you go pilgrim, see what I learned!

One of the blog sites I enjoy reading,(and viewing)

is Stapleton Kearns. Lately he's been explaining color,

useing music as a comparative.

Color strokes are notes~

I was moved to give it a try. The sun was picking up

a glare, but here it is, fresh as can be.

2.5 hrs. oils on gesso'd board. 6"x8"

I shot the non glare in the studio, but the color seems

washed out. I got a learning curve folks!

It just felt good to paint, Thanks Stape!
