6x6 oil on panel By Now I am sure my regular collectors and followers think Ive gone completely mad. I know what they are saying - "Where are those little beach scenes we've come to know and love? Where is the representational work - What are those lines? and my Gosh, what is happening to the skin tones!?" There's no explaining it. It's just happening. The other stuff is not totally gone - if you ask, I'd be happy to paint one for you. Its just that right now THESE are rocking my world. I can't seem to stop

Don't you love babies at the beach? Or anywhere really -

Beach Walker, figurative oil painting, beach scene,Debbie Miller

6x6" oil on panel

These are all about the gesture of the figure and the layers and interesting things going on in the negative space.
Sort of a painting on top of another painting with the under painting showing through.

This one I am going to paint again large - really feeling the composition and energy - of course the colors won't be the same but that is half the fun!

Beach Recliner, beach scene,blue,Debbie Miller,figurative oil painting

The yellow tones in this just won't photograph today.
I'm going mad trying to adjust...and on top of that its snowing.
Yup, that's right - snow - on our first full day of spring. rats.

Anyway - these next few paintings are a bit different from the older paintings. Taking my large scale process and shrinking it down to the itty bitty size.
When you paint a lot - things happen.
You develop and grow and change.
That's why painting is so fun!

"The Good Life" oil on hardboard 8x10" $175 + $9 shipping

Oh wait! a cat.  I've been so inundated with with dog images that this was a nice departure.  I'm still having some image problems with light and camera.  The face and upper body are very bold in color interpretation.  Unfortunately you can't tell by this shot.  Guess it's back to the drawing board with the camera. :(

"Sarah" oil on hardboard 12x12" $400 plus shipping

There's a long story with this.  February 2010 I went to a Bluegrass festival.  This amazing young woman played.  I took a battery of images hoping to get at least one good one.  Last August I did 3 paintings from those shots.  One sold to a woman in Canada.  In the fall I was invited to advertise in Southwest Art with a group of other artists.  They used a VERY small image of the sold painting in the ad, December addition.  In February I got a call from a man in Texas who saw the ad.  He had a friend who's daughter plays Mandolin.  The painting reminded him of her.  His wife worked with the girl's mom so she took the magazine to work to show her.  She thought it resembled their daughter too so she shot a photo of the ad and sent it to the girl.  The man from Texas started talking about her and finally I asked her name.  Guess what!  It was the girl I had seen play!  Her name is Sara Jarosz.  She is fabulous.  With a back lit image like this they recognized her posture and body language.  Amazing chain of events.  Now I've painted her again and will contact her folks to see what they think.

"Puppy Love aka Quinn" oil on board 6x6" NFS

As I was painting this it occurred to me that it is really more a "still life" of a puppy than a portrait.  I'm not sure what it was about the end result that made me feel that way.  However, I don't object.  He might be just one of the most adorable things I've ever seen.  High cute quotient.

Do You Have Spring Fever? Its official - I do.

I'm officially done with the cold and snow.



Love winter but I'm looking forward to saying hello to spring.



My friend Anne Babineau took this picture last April of one of my painting on display at The Sunnyside Restaurant - just puts me in a spring-y mood.



This painting is still there and I may have to visit it soon and treat myself to some delicious daytime dining!!
