Soft Light 8x10 oil, day 9, 30 in


Soft Light
8x10 oil
Day 9, 30 paintings in 30 days

I actually worked on this painting a few months
Ago, but hadn't shared it. I am thinking of using this as a study to do a large 30" x40" painting.
 I cropped it off of the bottom for the size to work in
Leslie Saetas 30 in 30 blog this month for day 9.
I worked on this at the tail end of a workshop with
Derek Penix. It is one of my favorite paintings.
Derek is an award winning
Impressionistic painter from Tulsa, OK.
I have hosted Derek twice over the past 3 
Yrs. here with The Artist
Of NW Arkansas oil workshops.
Check out Derek's incredible work.

Black Eyed Susan still life
Oil 9x12 day 8
30 in 30 painting

I am not normally a huge fan of yellow. However, 
This new black eyed susan plant became so 
beautiful, I had to cut them and set up a
Still life.
It has a lot of texture and the great design 
On one of my favorite vases.
I would love comments in my work, on to
working on day 9 of Leslie Saetas, 30
paintings in 30 day.

Day 3, 30 in 30
 This dramatic scene is a watering hole from
The African Serengeti.

Anniversary Flowers

These roses were on their way to the garbage can.
I decided to paint them and they made a detour into my studio.
I am so very happy with the outcome. Impressionistic and a forever memory to cherish our 39 the anniversary.

Peonies in a Pot 8x8 oil 30 in 30 day 1

Peonies in a Pot

This represents Day 1 of the annual 
30 paintings in 30 days with Leslie Saeta.

This was fun small square painting to do.
Peonies are one of my favorite flowers. We have pink peonies by the bucket full every Spring.
The texture in the flowers is always the exciting part to do.
