New Work

The art of the still life.

Last painting of the year! Light yellow/white poinsettias are real challenge but I was excited to find a beautiful soft peachy pink one this year also. Getting all the values correct was thoughtful process. “Pink and White Poinsettia” Oil on Linen 12 x 16.

I have had the great pleasure of studying with Patrick Saunders for the second time this year. He is the most positive encouraging instructor I have ever had the experience of learning from. He teaches with heart and knowledge. If anyone wishes to have one of best painting instruction experiences possible find a workshop to take from him. www.patricksaunders.com #portraitpainting #floralpainting #landscapepainting #artinstruction (at New Harmony Historic District) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwso8wAnDmf/?igshid=1ilbvmb49d0ga

I put this back on the easel the other day. It had been put back in the stack of paintings I liked but had never found a home. I made some adjustments to values and made some stronger paint quality in the trees and grass. The truck was more muted and I strengthened the color of the old truck.

I like to paint the North Little Rock "Old Mill" in the Spring. I used a plein air study and photo from a couple of years ago to develop this painting. The colors will be almost there in a week or so this year. Just dropped it off at Red Door Gallery. 16 x 20 Oil on Linen @reddoorgallery #northlittlerock #northlittlerockarkansas #localartist #arkansasartist #pulaskicountymastergardeners #landscapepainting #mastergardnersofpulaskicounty (at North Little Rock, Arkansas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvpLGdKAXUq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1agtgmeidoxav

My workshop with Patrick Saunders has me really exploring Florals in a new direction. My friend Susie has been wanting to paint big so we got together to encourage each other. This 30 x 30. “Feather Tip Tulip Explosion”. I really enjoyed this and have a couple more in the works. #floralpainting #boldbrush #oilpainting #paintersofinstagram #arkansasartist https://www.instagram.com/p/BvC0YooAA5y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uci1ob4b8yqw
