My Festive Shoes


In this painting I used full color. Usually I mix my own blacks as I did in this painting, however, I did resort to using tube black to obtain the blackest black. I worked hard to trnaslate what I had learned from working with 4 values as in the firtst painting. I find that the translation into color is a tricky thing and this may be where I need to work harder. It is an interesting exersize to do a series of paintings from one subject.

I have been thinking of doing some black and white paintings and think that I too may use tube black, or at least try it and see...
Fun, festive shoes Linda.

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)

PETITE BAKER

I photographed this little 'gal doing all of her baking in her cute little pretend kitchen! I thought that she needed to be surrounded by the glorious cakes and pies that she would have been baking. They were a figment of my imagination...but I'm quite certain this is what she had in mind!!! 24" by 36" oil stretched canvas $1200.00 plus $45.00 shipping to the US. PURCHASE HERE
