"Two Brushes"

Oil on linen 13.5 x 12

I've been wanting to paint these brushes for some time now but could never come up with a set-up until now. I like the way this one came out.

Arlan and Gracie

Oil on Linen

"Laurie"
Oil on Linen 13x12

"Sunflowers" 13x9 Oil

My attempt at a split Complementary design.

Red-Violet, yellow, and green

I'm not sure if that's correct but close enough.

I was also trying to make the light travel up to the focal point which is the top flower. I had tons of fun painting this.

" Grandmother's Vase" 11x14 oil

This vase belonged to my great great grandmother. I actually enjoyed painting this. I thought it was going to be crazy to paint. I need to get a better photo of this under better lights. The flowers are looking washed out. Another thing on my to do list.

Something exciting happened this month. I had two paintings juried in for the "Something Hot" show at the Art Square in Leesburg. I believe 69 paintings were accepted out of 161 submitted. I guess I was very fortunate to have had two taken in. "Rooster" and "Dog On Grenada Beach".

"Mexican Teacups"
8"x8"

I found these old teacups at the thrift store and thought it would be fun to try and paint them. I used a Gallery Panel with 1 1/2" sides. I painted the sides black. No need for a frame.
