Savannah II

It is a real challenge for me to use strong color.  I thought that this painting needed it.  I felt a little more in control on this particular painting today.  There is that struggle to keep things fresh and not paint too much.  I did resort to smaller brushes in areas and that seemed to work out better.  I love using the biggest brush I can.  All I can say is.......I'll paint some more........
This was one of the many townhouses in downtown Savannah that my husband and I photographed.  I loved the curve of the steps and wrought iron railing.  The sculptural figure in the alcove was a nice addition.

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)
