Olives


This was a much harder painting than it looks like it would be. It was difficult seeing the value changes!

Hmmm, looks like they are sitting in a bed of Philadelphia cream cheese.

Linda, you nailed the values. I, too, am an olive lover.

Well, as usual Linda you make it look effortless. I love the variation on the blue shadows, that looks very smart.

Linda... I know you sketched it first, but did you paint it in values before you introduced color? Or did the sketch teach you what you needed to know?

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)
