New Book

OK....I can't get this photo right side up...darn it.  I read this book today and found it quite informative.  Lori Putnam had suggested it in one of her posts.  I am finding that there are areas (lots of them) where I need improvement and so that is my quest.  I am going to re-read Jo MacKenzie's book to learn a little more about Notan (she is the expert).  Hopefully I will start a painting tomorrow and begin to incorporate some of the great things that I am learning.  Oh, the book above was first published in 1971....it is an old book and has timeless information.  Quick book to read with lots of black and white illustrations.  Now I get why it is so important to look at the black and white illustrations of paintings.  Wealth of knowledge in those.

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)
