BEACH STRIPES

12 x 16 OIL ON BOARD

This is another one of the demonstrations I did for my Fairhope workshop. I plan to do a few more little things to it but I have not had time this week. Also I wanted to show some of the my students work but I did not get all of the photos and I hated to show some and not all. They did a great job on some difficult subjects.

SUNFLOWERS WAVING IN THE BREEZE

SUNFLOWERS SOLD

5 x 7 OIL ON PANEL 

This is the first sunflower painting I have ever done, and possibly the last.

Those little beauties are HARD HARD HARD to do. I think it is because yellow is so high on the value scale and then you have those big dark centers. Working out the value transitions is tricky! Anyway I grew these sunflowers and have had the photos of them for years. To me, painting figures is a snap compared to flowers.

SURF PIXIE

GIRL PLAYING IN THE SURF SOLD

5 x 7 OIL ON PANEL

I thought I would do some figure paintings for a while. I want to keep them loose and fresh. The beach is always a good place to find people in all kinds of poses. The weather is beautiful here and the beaches are packed, so getting reference material should be easy.

BEE-HAVEN SOLD

5 x 7 OIL ON PANEL

This is something a little different from my normal subjects. I was browsing through some of my old reference photos and came upon the photo of this bee. One of the good things about doing these small daily paintings is you are more open to experimentation.

DESSERT PEAR SOLD

5 x 7 OIL ON PANEL

Fruit is always fun to paint and I needed some relief after painting pansies!

Those little botanicals are so complicated. The whole time I am working on them I am saying like a mantra simplify simplify simplify. I will be posting another pansy tomorrow. Anyway, the pear painting was a sweet relief. If you are interested in this painting email me at eliblaylock@yahoo.com
