PASTEL PORTRAIT SKETCH OF JOSEPH

PASTEL ON DARK GREEN CANSON PASTEL PAPER

The model did not show up today for open studio at the Foley art center, so we bribed the manager, Joseph to sit for us.  Not many people showed up, I guess, because of the lingering storm but we had so much fun. Joseph was a great model!!

I did pastel portraits for years in New Orleans, but have been working in oils for the the last 17 years, so I am a little rusty.

BEFORE THE STORM AT THE OCEAN'S EDGE

6 X 6 OIL ON HARDBOARD PANEL

I painted this oil quick sketch yesterday while listening to the roaring winds outside as hurricane Issac approached.  Still lots of wind but not nearly as bad in Gulf Shores,  Alabama as it could have been.

My prayers go out to those suffering with this storm.

I like the colorful sky and loosely painted figures in this painting.

PROFILE OIL SKETCH OF MACK

16 X 20 PORTRAIT SKETCH IN OIL

Mack modeled again at the open studio painting session at the Foley Performing Art Center.  He is a great model with his wild beard and hair, and craggy features.  The previous painting was a three quarter view .  I think profiles are actually the easiest view to paint.  This is a 2 hour sketch.

Mack was a fabulous model for the open studio painting session at the Foley Performing Art Center.  This loose and colorful oil sketch was from a 2 hour sitting.  It was nice to paint with some other artist for a change..

SAUCY BRUSHES WITH OIL

10 X 8 OIL ON LINEN CANVAS PANEL SOLD

I  like all the stacked abstract color shapes of the brushes.  Painting the label on a curved object is always a challenge.....I wanted it impressionistic and fresh .  Sooo.... is this abstract impressionism????!!

On a little side note,  I am on my 29th day of no smoking.  Prayers please!!!!.    Needless to say, I am way on the nervous side.  I may have a nervous breakdown but I will not be smoking nasty cigarettes!!!

SERENITY IN THE SURF figurative beach scene

9 x 12 ACRYLIC SKETCH ON CANVAS MOUNTED ON BOARD

$175 plus s/h

This figurative beach scene  is a very loosely done acrylic quick sketch.  I decided I needed to loosen up .  When you are working with photos, there is a  hazard of becoming a slave to the image and you could end up just copying.and neglecting some major creative elements.  I plan on doing more of these and also I have priced them substantially lower than my finished oils.

WHITES SAILS BELOW MAJESTIC CLOUDS

This sailboat seascape painting is one that I did a while back and decided to jazz it up a little with a few simple changes.  I simplified the water and added more warm tones to the water as it reflects the clouds.

RED AND WHITE ROW BOAT

I painted this little boat scene from a reference photo that I took years ago somewhere in Maine, I believe. I doubt that pier on the right is still standing as it appeared to be near collapse way back then.

WALKING WITH THE SEA BREEZE

8 X 10 OIL ON CANVAS

I know it's about time I posted a painting.  Thought this figurative beach scene was finished yesterday,but after seeing in on my computer, I took it back to the easel for several changes. I think my brush is dripping ice cubes!   Nothing like a refreshing stroll on the beach, but it so hot here in Gulf Shores, I don't want to leave the air conditioning.
