Work In Progress

Getting a little closer today.  I'm hoping for one more sitting on this painting tomorrow and to have it done.  We'll see...

Work In Progress

I started a new 12x12 piece this morning.  Here's pics of the the still life set up and my start.  I thought I would get a little more done on it, but then the power went out :).  Oh well, we'll see what I can do tomorrow.

Out the Top

I always find it amazing that eggs are so simple and challenging.  There's so much subtlety!  My daughter and I have been going for walks everyday now that the weather's nicer.  A lot of our neighbors have chickens roaming around and farm fresh eggs.  It's exciting to have Spring here finally.

Young and Colorful

I finally finished this today.  I haven't done a larger piece in a while and found it to be a learning experience again.  I think I'll do a few things differently next time I go bigger, but this was still a fun piece to complete!

Work In Progress: 4

I keep thinking I'm going to sit down for my last sitting on this painting and then it takes me longer than I think.  Oh well, getting closer to done.

Work In Progress 3

Today I filled in some more on my larger piece.  Tomorrow hopefully I'll adjust some edges and values and add in highlights and dark shadows.

Work in Progress 2

After a lovely birthday weekend I sat down to paint the still life I started last week.  I'm still really enjoying the colors of the fruit although I realized it's lost some if it's luster since I first set up the still life.  I'm glad I took a couple of photos as fall back reference!
