SEPTEMBER SUNBATHERS

7 X 5 OIL ON PANEL SOLD
I went to the beach yesterday and it was absolutely gorgeous! We have finally got some cooler weather here on the Gulf Coast (out of the 90s anyway). I think the fall is absolutely the best time to go to the beach in Gulf Shores.

PLUMS WITH KNIFE

6 X 6 OIL ON PANEL
I am wondering why I put the knife in there...I've never peeled a plum. This knife did not have a shadow at all. I went back to my computer to look at the original reference photo and.... no shadow. I am so used to putting in the shadows to ground an object, so I almost just made one up but decided to leave it as it was.

OIL SKETCH OF GIRL WITH YELLOW BUCKET

10 X 8 OIL ON WOOD PANEL
I did this quick beach scene as a demo in my workshop trying to illustrate how one can describe the figure with just two values. This is very loosely done but I kind of like the overall freshness of the painting

OIL PAINTING OF PAINT BRUSHES IN AN ENGLISH PEA CAN

10 X 8 OIL ON WOOD PANEL SOLD
Even when we grow up, it seems we retain our fascination for shiny things. I love painting them and also I think the peas that come in that shiny can are the best canned ones you can get. Hmm, is it the shiny packaging that adds a little elegance to this canned veggie??

OIL PAINTING OF CORAL ROSE WITH PEAR

CORAL ROSE
7 X 5 OIL ON PANEL
This one was a pill to paint! Hopefully, I finally got it to work.
I am off for the rest of the weekend. Well not really, I got to get things together for my class in Foley Alabama. If you want to take the class I think there are still some openings. The number is on the right of my blog under workshops. I am excited to get out of the studio and be around some other artist. We have a lot of fun and hopefully, learn a thing or two!

MOTHER AND SON BUILDING SANDCASTLES

6 X 6 OIL ON PANEL SOLD
This little boy was having a great time playing at the beach. His only worries are whether to use the green bucket or the red bucket...the task at hand. That's called staying in the moment which most of us forget how to do when we grow up.

OIL PAINTING OF OLD FASHION ROSE IN A CLEAR VASE

OLD FASHION ROSE
6 x 6 OIL ON PANEL
SOLD
I have this shrub rose in my front yard. I love them because they are white, pink and coral.
I painted this one from life and it started wilting before my very eyes. They must be called old fashioned crepe roses because they look like crepe in a very short time! It was completely shriveled the next day but the bud was in full bloom.
