Maddie 9"x12" oil

Please click here for auction information.

Eleven year old Maddie is the granddaughter of a woman who paints with us on Friday.  She wanted to pose for our Friday group and had to wait until she had a day off from school.    She has been practicing for weeks and I must say she was a very good model!   All her practice paid off.

surrounded by sage 6"x8" oil

Sold

Going through my photo archives I came across this dirt road picture from my trip in southern France a few years ago.  Fields of sage, don't you love it!

Bernheim small batch 6"x6" oil

Please click here to view auction information.

I like this painting because of the straight on angle of the bottle and the small shot glass on the one third line.

Bernheim is made at Heaven Hill Distilleries in Bardstown Kentucky is the only type of straight whiskey which uses predominately soft winter wheat and is produced in small batches and aged to perfection.  It is not really a bourbon since it is at least 51% wheat.   To qualify as bourbon, the law stipulates that it must be made in the USA, at least 51% and no more than 79% Indian corn and aged for at least two years.   It is a nice smooth tasting whiskey.

French countryside 6"x8" oil

I have been revisiting the photos I took while in Provence, France and I came across this gravel road that was winding its way around a lavender field.

Manhattan 6"x6" oil, still life

Liz with red top 8"x8" oil

Please click here to view auction information.

The challenge for me this day was to create an interesting layout keeping it simple and direct.  With her arm outstretched I wanted to include it so it made sense to put her head in the right 1/3.   I had taken a square canvas so I was locked into that shape.

Three daisies 8"x8" oil

Please click here for auction information.

These daisies waltzed into my studio and I just had to paint them.   Please excuse my recent absence from painting but I have been consumed with designing and sewing clothing.  I have been sewing since I was 10 and designed clothing off and on in my career and it seems that it has appeared in my life once again.   I do miss painting so maybe I will find time to paint on a regular basis again soon.

Jen in red 12"x9" oil

Sold

It certainly has been a while since my last post.   I feel like I am on vacation except for the fact that I have been working, but not on daily paintings.   I have been sewing bags, clothing and I made a fabulous hat with beading.   But I digress.   I painted this last Friday but forgot to post until now!   That should tell you where my head has been... in the dark under a hat!   Jen is a new model for our Friday "Go Figure" group and she came with her own outfit!   Which we loved!   I concentrated on painting in the focus area with the outlying areas just hinted at.  I am happy with this one.

I love using this more dramatic lighting but the model had a hard time dealing with the brightness but she was a real trooper and posed anyway.   Thanks Liz!

Blue Vase 8"x8" oil

This bouquet is made up of three different colors of hydrangeas and some of the last of the season.   My favorite part was the blue vase and the way the light comes through.

Night light 8"x10" oil

Sold

After a long hiatus one of our favorite models has returned to us and we are thrilled.   I always like dramatic lighting especially when the light is from a lower level.   I saw someone's work this week that reminded me of how much I like the drama of this lighting.

The studio that we have our Friday sessions in was hot but we had on 5 fans which helped to keep us comfortable.   Kelly was a trooper keeping her pose the whole time, with breaks of course.  This was my effort this morning.

It might be the roundness of the flower that I like so much.   I love the many colors that are on each plant.   However these two did not come from the same plant.   They are neighbors.

This purple hydrangea looks more purple basking in the light from my north facing window.   Interesting that the red one came from the same bush.  Nature is astonishing.
