Rest Stop Finished

 

Oil, 11 x 14, wrapped canvas.    Jeff and Bella taking a break.  I think this is finished, still looking. . . .    Dogs are my favorite subject, followed by horses, and then, once in a while, people!    

First plein air 2010

 

Finally warm (and dry) enough to paint outside.  This is a small oil , 5 x 7 on gesso panel.   However, I did learn, not to take my non-painting partner with me—entirely too much grousing about time!  Even so, Lake Peachtree was still fun, tho the trees were a bit barren looking without leaves.  Felt so o o good to be outside painting.

WIP - Rest Stop

"Rest Stop"-  pastel 8 x 10   a prelimary sketch for an 11 x 14 oil in the works.   A new comission.   Bella (the dog) needs to move a bit closer to Jeff.  The line of the creek was changed for composition purposes.    Pastels help me decide on the values for the work.

October- November 2009 Paintings

"Autumn Cows"  5 x 7, framed 8 x 10,  Oil on panel.     SOLD   A Phillipsburg Farm scene, exhibited in the Christmas Art Show.

"Lagoon View II"  Oil on 6 x 10 x 3/4 cradled board.  
One of several views of a favorite seaside site. 

"Riomaggiore Street Scene"  6 x 8 x 2 oil on wrapped canvas.  This was from a photo taken a couple years ago during a trip to Cinque Terre.  Lots of great material-- too bad most of the photos were messed up!   Got a new camera shortly after this trip.

"Gulls Dinner",  Oil 5 x 7 on board.  This looked like a regular event for the gulls.  

"Phillipsburg Shed"  Oil  20 x 24, canvas wrapped.  First large oil I've done in quite a while.  A combination of two references.    Phillipsburg is a New York park--an example of a working farm from the 1800's. 

Christmas show starts today.   The weather is great, so the crowds should be good!
