Japanese Floats


These floats were a gift to me on Christmas from my sister.  I Love Them!!!  The challenge with this painting was to depict the cloth and create a transparency through the floats.  As I have previously, stated painting transparency is one of my greatest delights.  But, seriously, depicting the color of the floats and then maintaining an illusion of depth through the glass proved to be really hard.  Many wipes outs later I finally achieved what it was I was looking for.  It is wonderful to be mindful of your strokes and color, but it is helpful when you lose yourself in the image and instinctively put brush to board.

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)
