"Take That!" oil on masonite 6x6" SOLD

I don't know who the retailer was that designed these but I LOVE THEM! What would it take for someone to decide that cutting off the top of the head would be a good aesthetic idea? It just seemed to make them all that much more sassy. Anyone that knows me KNOWS that sassy appeals to me. I can't wait to do some more.

Foggy - daily painting, beach scene

8x10 oil on wood panel $160
my goal for the next month is to paint (and post) everyday! Since February is the month for love, might as well do what I love AND paint what I love. So #1 is Foggy, cause there is nothing I love more than a foggy day at the beach and these little beach scenes are soooo much fun to paint.

"The Worry" oil on masonite 6x6" SOLD

Ah! finally a little time in the studio. It's amazing how fast you begin to feel rusty. About half way through this piece I really saw no hope. I had no earthly idea how I would pull it all together. That must be part of the ongoing magic of painting. You can never get to confident or comfortable.
In the end I was quite pleased.

A Presidential Party - daily painting,cupcake

6x6" oil on gessobord
couldn't resist these cupcakes at the market yesterday. Got me thinking how many red white and blue cupcakes are being made for presidential parties this week.
Used a limited palette for this and painted on a bright red ground, specifically trying to be loose and impressionistic with my brush strokes- staying away from tight and fussy.

Sweety - daily painting,cupcakes

8x8" oil on supported panel

Another little sweety. whenever the mood strikes to paint a still life a la prima, most of the time these little cupcakes shout out to be painted. The nice thing - or gross thing - is that they hang around the studio for months! ewe.
There is one spot in a painting that I and I think all artists just seems to fall in love with. As much as laying on thick paint like frosting FOR the frosting is the funnest part...I love that little sprinkle on the left

"A Future For All of Us" oil on masonite 6x6" sold

This may just be the gentlest face I've seen in a very long time. I was almost sad to complete the piece. It was developing a relationship with it. As a painter it's always hard to put the brush down and say "enough". It was magnified 10 fold with this painting. Maybe like a good book; you can't wait to see how it ends but then you're left wanting to know more.

"I Can See Clearly Now" oil on masonite 6x6"

click on image to bid
Oh my, what a treat this one was. Can you remember your first pair of shades? How cool we all thought we were. You can just feel the pride in this little one. All too soon we lose that magic. I'll probably do another version of this same painting. It seems there are always challenges that when a piece is done you begin to think of other ways you could have met them. My husband has this "87% rule" theory. If the piece meets 87% of your original expectation you're probably done. That's a pretty loose rendition. It has to do with the time that elapses between concept and execution. Since our idea continues to evolve over that time it probably will never be 100%. That said, he also contends that the 13% is the really important number.....You have to know him. My family calls him Sputnik.

Note to Self

today is self portrait day over at Daily Painters. A challenge for sure. I havent tackled a self portrait is 20 years!!! yikes. As a student at RISD way back when, I took a portrait class my senior year and it was probably my favorite class. For a semester I had to do 5 portraits a week and bring them in for crit. Painted friends on occasion but mostly it was just me. Only a few survived over the years but everything I learned came right back. Found myself setting up my palette with the same colors and in the same order, adjusting the light and the mirror in the same familar way...everything the same except of course the image in the mirror! hmmmm, it was alot more fun back then but still such a great 'assignment' for any artist. Try One! I might make it a yearly event from now on. :)

self portrait

This is actually not a new piece. Daily Painters is having a day (tomorrow) dedicated to self portraits. Since I had this one and it wasn't too old I decided to post it again rather than subject myself to doing another one. Cheap model but not that interesting.

"Mesmerized" oil on canvas 30x42"

Its been a long time since I've been up here with the intent of posting. It isn't because I haven't been painting. We've had some daunting problems with photographs and I just wasn't willing to put pieces up that weren't close to accurate.
This piece is from the series I've been working on for a client. She is considering forgoing a large piece and hanging a cluster of the smaller studies. I think it will work very well for her but I already had the seed set in my little pea brain to do some of them larger. I stretched a canvas today to do another one. It was just too rewarding to leave alone.
