"Red Ball cap" 12in x 12in oil on linen


While the model was posing I thought she needed a red ball cap, so I painted one on.   If life were only that easy.   I painted this on a Senso panel that has a clear gesso coating so the linen shows.   The only think I don't like about it is that the linen texture is not fine, but rather coarse.     I like to have the drawing show some and this panel is good for that.

"5 Peonies" 8in x 8in, oil


Today I tried something new... at least new to me.   I painted this without sketching it in first and limited myself to one hour.   I realized that when I sketch in first I end up getting very tight with the painting.  So my not sketching in my painting is looser.    I also used a limited palette, Titanium white, black, indanthrene blue, and quinacridone magenta, but did use some cad yellow light in the white to warm up the light on the surface.

"Derby Day, betting on the horses". 12in x 12in oil on linen panel.


Derby Day, May 1 is when this was painted and used a racing form from the newspaper here in Louisville KY.    This is a larger painting 12" square, painted on a Centurion Linen Panel.   Lots of controversy over the winner.

"She was here a minute ago" 8in x 8in oil


Miss Pink Lady was tired of all the attention so she decided to hide out in the bowl room.   Her friends were confused, they thought she just went to make a phone call but there were no phone booths anymore....  she was here a minute ago.

Thanks for viewing my art ;-)
