Lemons on Pink

It's been a while since my last post; lately I have again been going through a slump-nothing I've done has pleased me.  This little one I did at the today finally had the element of fun and spontaneity that I want.  

An original, 7 x 5 inch, expressive, colorist, still life painting done in a contemporary style with professional grade acrylic paint . As an under painting, the surface was textured with the remaining acrylic paints left from a previous day's painting session.  Some of the colors may show through adding more interest.   This particular painting was done on 300 lb. watercolor paper.  It has been finished with a satin acrylic varnish.

This painting is being sold with or without a matt. The cost for matt and backing, ready for framing is $40; without a matt, the cost is $25.  Let  me know what your preference is via email.

Jowls

What can I say but maybe "Oh What a Bulldog!" 

Two Figs and a Pear

A fun day in the studio today.  What I would give for some fresh fig preserves!

This 6x8 inch acrylic is painted on archival canvas panel and has been varnished.

I will find out on Thursday whether or not I will need surgery for my broken foot.  I hope I get good news.

Support #1

As mentioned in a previous blog, I can overwork my paintings so I've decided to set a definite time for painting each of my daily paintings.  On the larger or more complex pieces, I am going to try to also follow that idea by working for a short period of time on each piece each day until a painting is complete.  I'll let you know how this approach works.

This 6x9 inch acrylic is matted to fit a 9x12 standard size frame.  The mat reduces the viewable size to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches. 

Thanks for looking.

Breakfast Fruit

I apologize for not posting recently.  I have been involved in working on some larger pieces and when I am satisfied with them I'll post them to the blog and to Daily Paintworks.  I think that I'll do another using the same motif of breakfast fruit; maybe even as many pieces as the fruit will allow.  This 5x7 inch acrylic is painted on gessoed hardboard and is varnished. It can be purchased for $40.00 through my Daily Paintworks site.

Which one leads?

I haven't posted smaller paintings recently but have added some to my gallery on the Daily Paintworks site. Please see them on that website. I'm working also on some larger pieces so I don't always get a smaller daily painting completed. This painting is matted and ready for framing in a 12 x 9 inch frame. Thanks for taking a look.

Tulips against Yellow

I am working on having my paintings more abstract with looser brush strokes.  It is all part of how I have wanted to develop and change.  I've not painted with acrylic for many years and am having to learn which techniques work best for me. I'm finding it hard to shift gears so if anyone has suggestions, I'd appreciate your sharing.

This painting has been varnished, matted and is ready for framing in an 10 x 8 inch frame.

The Pink Vase

It's been several days since I've last posted but I'm still painting and hope to have some new ones ready to post soon.  Several of the my latest have been placed in local holiday markets and are out of circulation for the time being.  Thanks for your patience.
