"Red Crocs" 12in x 12in oil on linen board

 

I am experimenting with something new.    Trying to get away from hard edges and detail.   the idea is to work with color, shape and feeling.   This was done today while the model was posing.   I did work on this a little while after the model left.   I like the way the figure is outlined with the north facing window.

"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.

"Green linen shirt"

Our model rode her bike to the painting session and wore this lovely green linen shirt.   There is a lot of enjoyment for everyone during these 3 hour sessions.   So glad to be doing it again even tho it is every other Friday.   But I will take it!

M in blue sunglasses 16" x 12". oil

This is a model we use quite often and out of all the years, maybe decades, we have been painting him, this is one of the few times I have really captured him.    He is a dancer, an opera singer and all around great guy with a wonderful sense of humor.    Recently sold this painting and will miss having it hanging around.

Thank you for your interest in my work.

"On the beach" 16in x 20in oil on linen

She has the most beautiful long thick black hair.  It was actually a little longer but I had to have the curls in the picture.  I added the sketchy background for effect.   I know the horizon is a little high but it looks good for the composition.

"Hat from Mali" 16in x 12in oil

I've had this hat for about 40 years, can't remember where I got it but it's construction is so interesting and it is pretty comfortable to wear.   It came from Mali.  If I went there today, would I see people wearing it?

"Churchill Downs Derby viewer" 16in x 12in oil on linen

He wore his Derby outfit and doesn't he look great!   I sketched it in with a dark brown mixture with Winsor Newton Bt Sienna and Ultramarine blue and blocked the shadows also.   I love the way it turned out.   He wore a beautiful lavender woven suit with some raw sienna woven in.   I think the bow tie makes the look.

"Blue Shoes" 14in x 11 in Oil on linen

The model got into this pose and at first I was thinking that she was holding so much tension.  After looking through a viewfinder I noticed that the pose was so dynamic!    Love the position of the legs and arms so I made it all about that.   In the three hours that she posed, I sketched it in two times too large, third time was the charm.   I had to realize that the center of the canvas was the hem of her skirt, then it worked out.

"Red Robe" 16in x 12in" oil on paper

We haven't had this model for about 4 years and I am glad she is back.   The light was focused on her upper chest so her head was in shadow, taking the focus off her face.

"Dressed in Pink" 14in x 18in oil on linen

This is a painting I started last Friday and finished today.   I worked on keeping the outer edges soft and detail on the focal point.   It is really hard to keep from overworking the painting.   I had to not be too quick to put the brush work on.

"Dude in a hat" 11in x 14in oil

Someone brought a hat today, when he put it on he decided he looked good in the hat.

I started this 3 hour sketch with a very loose gesture drawing using paynes grey, covering all the shadow areas.   It made for a quick map to show where the light and dark areas were.  All this was done in the first 15 minutes.  That left the rest of the time to play with color/value.

"Sparkling Sun Hat" 12in x 12in oil

This is the same pose that we had last Friday, but I sat in a different position.   I was right in front and the composition was not conducive to asymmetry so I decided to make everything symmetrical.

"KB reclining" 12" x 16 oil on linen

Here is a sketch I started yesterday and worked a little on today.  I am trying to paint technically accurate while keeping the brushwork loose.   It is like doing two opposite things at the same time.

Study in warm and cool 15" x 18" oil

I actually painted this a week ago but the dark paint glared so much in the photo I decided to wait until it dried and I could put on a wax varnish.   I like using the Gamblin Cold Wax  which can be used as a medium or varnish.

"Sipping coffee" 20" x 16" oil

We had the same model as a few months ago and my easel was about in the same vantage point.   I was planning on lighting her from the right side but it did not work out for everyone so we changed the light to the left.  On this painting I used a palette knife in some areas.
