Asparagus Spears

These babies were a bear to paint.  It is a tendency (for me) to want to paint what I see....but my strength lies in painting what I see and feel.  I am learning and it is taking a long time to discipline myself to never settle but to push forward.  There is that incredible magical feeling when all things fought for begin to coalesce and the painting begins to breath on its own.  Living for that moment is my greatest desire in painting.
By the way, I bought Rosemary Brushes and they are superb.  I will never look back!!!

Hello Helen,
Thank you, the asparagus were very difficult for me to decided how to approach painting them. I wiped out so many times. Finally, in frustration I just simplified and walla I was happy. The brushes are synthetic Rosemary...Ivory....brushes.

Thank you, Sue...I worked them to death so I am glad that they look alive!

Gosh thanks, Polly....it has been a while! Thanks for stopping by.

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

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)
