2 More Green Apples - sold

Yeah! I'm finally posting a new painting! I took a little hiatus, AND I had a Studio Sale last weekend at my house/studio that took some time from painting. I was juried into the Gorge Artists Studio Tour, 36 artists participated and it was very successful for everyone! May 2 and 3. We had visitors from Portland, Seattle, Eastern OR/WA and many supportive locals.

Grapes and IKEA Bowl - sold

The IKEA bowl caught my eye... when I was shopping. The little bowls are such fun colors and shapes.

Jalapenos and Habaneros -sold

The values turned out darker on this one. I started out using only purple, orange and green (and white) on my palette, but I realized that wasn't going to work for finishing the painting, but it made an interesting start.

Serrano Composition - SOLD

All of these objects for the daily paintings are just opportunities to explore composition, value and shadows. They could be any object. But I do like the peppers, the bright colors and forms. This bunch of peppers really caught my eye in the grocery, with the different colors.

Bowls from Above - SOLD

I was very inspired by seeing Carol Marine's bowl and pepper paintings. I never thought of painting a bowl from above, so I HAD to try it. I don't know if it worked out for me, but it's interesting. I'm not sure if they look like "bowls from above".

Plums and Shadows

How is this painting different from yesterday's painting? The lighting is natural. I painted it with natural light coming in the window, shining on the plums and creating the shadows naturally. The photo is ok, but I think the colors are more subtle than the photo can capture.

More Plums

Still doing the plums, I have decided that the plums are an excellent way to work on reflected light.

Fewer brushstrokes, is the goal.

Eastern Columbia River Gorge - SOLD

Someone left the comment that I had not written what I was thinking when I painted this one. I was thinking mostly about values - to make objects/forms come forward and go back into space. Atmosphere, the hills far away in the desert are a muted grayed down blueish, and as they come forward they get more color. It's way too cold here to paint outside, so I did this painting from a photo I took during the spring from the Mosier Tunnels Trail. I just felt like I really needed to paint a landscape for a change. And I had just gotten a new brush that is an inch wide, that I was trying out.
