"Primary Present". 6in x 6in. Oil

I really need to paint more often and get back into painting daily so that I don't lose my skills!  Thought I would try using primary colors to start.   I used Quinacridone Red, Chinese Red, Thalo blue and Cadmium yellow light plus Titanium White.

"What's in the Box?" 8in x 8in Oil painting

What is in the box?  Maybe it is a new cell phone, a pair of tiny roller skates, a toy lawn mower, a necklace or bracelet, car keys, a new bed, a bowl of soup.      Which do you think is more likely?  Maybe it is empty.

This is an 8" square painting which is about 175% bigger than a 6" square painting.

"Cutting the Ribbon" 6" x 6" oil

This was my demo for my Monday class.  I started by blocking in all the dark values and trying not to draw the objects.   This leaves room for the brushwork to be looser and expressive.

"The Blue Package" 6" x 6" oil

When purchased the ribbon for this series I got two widths of red satin.  One was 2" wide and the second was 1.5" wide.   It was not until today that I realized that the smaller one was red on one side and gold on the other!   What a nice surprise!

"The Red Gift" 6" x 6" oil

This series has certainly been fun to paint and it is great to be painting again after a long time off.   I actually was hesitant to paint and felt out of practice which goes to show that you really need to paint often to stay in practice, to make bold strokes and have the confidence to do so.   I feel that my style of painting has changed a little, for the good I think!

This series of packages with bows has been rambling around in my head for about a year and I am just now getting around to doing them!   I don't want to rush it.

"The Present with Red" 6" x 6" oil

This set up was a box tied with a white satin bow set on top of a white tablecloth.   Even though the cloth was white the brightest thing was the shine on the satin bow so I had to make the tablecloth less white.   Actually the cloth was a warm white so I added some yellow and red to the white.  I could have made it grayer or more blue but the shadows have that hue.  So there you have it, the story of the box.
