Dragon Fruit!

 

I saw this dragon fruit in the grocery store and I thought... 'I could never paint that thing'! and then I thought... 'could I'? So, I took on the challenge and here are the results. 

I love the 12x6" format. And I also love the 6x12" format. ; )

Painting the little seeds was like painting snowflakes, little radom dabs of paint.

They are $120 each or the set for $225. I think they look great together. Click here - Daily Paintworks for purchase info. 

Here are some process pics. Enjoy and Thanks for looking.

$80 - 6x6" original oil painting on 1/8"panel

Halloweeeeen! Only a few weeks away. I painted this little glass pumpkin and candy rockets in my studio. Since I painted by candlelight, there was a bit of a 'trick' to it... but it was a 'treat' to paint. ;)

Another Two-Colour Palette! For this wonderful model, (thanks RawUmberStudios for the YouTube paintalongs), I chose Pyrrole Red and Cerulean Blue. I love dark blue with red. The Pyrrole is a Cobra oil brand and it's basically a warm Cadmium Red. Here are some palette pics.

 

When I saw the wonderful red scarf on her head, I knew I just had to paint her. And glasses to match! Such a great expression too.

Thanks for checkin' out my blog. Cheers and Be Well. ; )

I really wanted to focus on this proud friend's beautiful turquoise crown, or crest, today. It's quite stunning and sometimes overlooked since people get dazzled by the feathers on the peacock's tail. I enjoyed painting this beauty. (Very happy with the eye!). See my Instagram page for step by step pics. Cheers. 

story time

SOLD

The lemon is telling a story to his little grape friends... obviously. ; ) There is actually a lot of transparent green in purple grapes. So, I added a green paper to the set up to match. Cheers.

$120 - 12"x6" original oil painting on panel

I love this long and thin format. I've used it many times in the past and just rediscovered, (or rather reminded myself) how much I like it #doh. The photo reference, which is square, is from the gracious and talented Sarah Sedwick. It was quite a challenge to figure out how to crop the pic, but I enjoy that part of the process. I think it's important to zoom in, cutting parts of objects off, so the still life doesn't just sit in the centre with a bunch of boring space around it. 

I also changed the original plate colour of blue, to purple, in order to balance the lovely yellow lemons.

Cheers Y'all!
