brain food

SOLD

$40 - 5X7" original oil painting on 1"cradled board

When we were kids we loved smarties, or as we called them, brain food! I still love them. They're not only tasty but also fun to eat, sorting by colour and sharing. I still eat the red ones last ; ) 

Painting sides are painted a lovely purple to match the background colour.

Let me first say how much I love this 6x12" size for portrait. I chose it on a whim as I was heading out to Don Valley Art Club's portrait session and I'm sure glad I did. Especially once I saw this awesome model. I took one look at his long beard, then my long canvas, and thought... perfect!

Below is a pic of my pochade/paint box hard at work. : )

Here's a close up. The oil painting is actually on a 1" deep cradled board for easy hanging. This oil painting experience was definitely a break through for me!

$140 - original 8x10” oil painting on wooden panel 

Well, I'm painting in oil again. The gouache I've been working with is wonderful but it won't 'stick' to any surface that has been gessoed. So, I thought I'd try oil again. 

Check out the close ups below. It's so fun blending oil... and so different from watercolour. Also below is a picture of the back of the 1" cradled panel. 

The wooden cradled panel has approximately a 1"edge on it.
