Japanese Lantern

I have had this gorgeous little cast iron lantern for sometime and finally painted it.  I lit the candle inside to show its beautiful light.  I chose an under painting in pink and used a white background and it was just washed out.  I decided to use this grayed violet to emphasis the yellow green of the lantern.  Thanks, Sue....you were one hundred percent right!  Thank you!!!!

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)
