I love the stance of this little girl with her foot turned pigeon toed.  She was standing in the middle of a very big room and was just content to observe all that was going on around her. 

I used a Zorn palette in this painting.  It felt a little limiting but I was able to get some of the color I was looking for.  I think that this palette works very well for portraiture.  I am ready to return to a palette with a fuller range of colors.

Tout comme vous j'aime les attitudes qu'ont les enfants... Elles sont si naturelles.
j'ai passé de si longues et merveilleuses heures à observer mes enfants lorsqu'ils étaient petits...
Une belle palette de couleurs.
Gros bisous

I am so bad with color pallets etc, I go with instinct, but I love the colors in this and the loose way you captured the subject.

Thank you, Roger. I must say that your palette of colors are an inspiration to me and I often marvel at the clarity and beauty of the colors that you choose.

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)
