"Parakeet"

 

8x10 Oil on linen

Our local zoo has a bird aviary filled with parakeets.  They will fly down and land on your hand so you can feed them.  This guy liked having his picture taken.

 



"Silver Teakettle"

 

 

11x14 Oil

I found this teakettle in a thrif store.  I don't think it's very old but I thought it had a lot of character.  The handle was interesting with the missing paint.  I painted this on a smooth Artist Panel with 1.5" sides.

Apples can be difficult to paint but also lots of fun.  I painted this for the Autumn challange on my painting forum.

I was trying to create a triad color scheme with this painting.  Red-Violet flowers with Yellow-Orange centers against a Blue-Green background.  I painted this on my new favorite surface.  Amperstand Smooth Aritist Panels.



Strolling Along the Seashore Copy

 

This is my copy of 'Strolling Along the Seashore' by Joaquin Sorolla.

I loved painting this. So many subtle value changes.  Trying to imitate his brush strokes was a great learning experience.
