"Beauty of Creation" 9x12 oil on linen by Leslie Newman

"Beauty of Creation"

9x12

Oil on linen

This sunset I painted from an evening we spent on a mountain top

In Cotter, AR during May 2014.

A friend and I attended a 3-4 day paint out on the White River.

It was such a wonderful time. One night after dinner, we were

Invited by a few other notable plein aire  artists to join them on

This mountain top to paint the sunset.

I got a start and then finished at home in my studio.

Creation provides us with a nightly artistic

Display. We live in a beautiful world!

I hope you enjoy my paintings, I also

"Bashful in Bolivia II" 11x14 oil by Leslie Newman

Bashful in Bolivia II

11x14 oil

This pretty girl I recently re-painted to focus on her hands. They were quite difficult

To do the first time around! I just wasn't 

Happy with them. So, I dug in for a

Second time. I glazed over them several times

Until I was happy!

This picture was originally taken in Bolivia on Christmas Day

Several  yrs ago. The young girl got bashful at the last

Minute and covered her face. 

I hope you enjoyed this young beauty!  All of the color I her many cloaks, 

Her hat, and dark eyes and her hair tell her story.

Feel free to comment on my art.....

I would love to hear from you.
