I am switching to water based oil and gosh I really like them....so much easier.

I applied the Dennis Parrin method of painting with this painting and am very happy with the way that it turned out.  I have learned so much and definitely encourage anyone to take the course if you are so inclined....you won't be sorry.

  6"X 6" Oil Ampersand Gessobord $100.00 This pretty little cream and sugar clear glass set was a lucky find at a recent trip to the thrift shop.  When I finished with this painting I was amazed at how graphic it turned out.  It has an almost Matisse like feeling to it.  This is my Day 14 submission to the 30 paintings in 30 day challenge hosted by Leslie Saeta.  This painting can be found here .

6X6 $100 Available on my Etsy site   This painting is a treasure hunt.  There is an orange, a pear, and a red bird...can you see them?  It has been coming for some time now that I wanted I really wanted to do was to  just let loose and play with color and shape with an indication of form.  This is the result.  It was glorious to enjoy every stroke of paint!

8X8 $115 Available on my Etsy site   This painting has undergone a metamorphosis in the last 24 hours because what I was trying for was just not successful.  The colors are quite muted but they are more vibrant than I was abel to capture.  The painting is really quite warm.  I am happy with this painting and want to thank Robin Rosenthal for her more than helpful advice.  I have a tendency to just splash around sometimes without in depth  thought as to where and how to place color and value.  That is a big problem.  With this painting I was very deliberate in my choices and I am very happy.

In this painting I was working to create shapes that would construct the form of the pear. I wanted to work with vibrant color and chose the red piece of silk that I had stashed away in my piles of fabric. I felt pretty good with the results but it took many tries before I felt that I was actually seeing the shapes correctly. I have found that there is so much to learn that I have to bite off small bits of information at a time. RESERVED
