BLUE-GREEN JAR WITH BACK-LIT FLOWERS

10 X 8 OIL ON CANVAS

Painting flowers is difficult enough  but painting back-lit flowers seems to be even more challenging,

There are almost no value changes in the flowers, so I had to rely on color changes and shape to keep it interesting.

FIGURATIVE BEACH SCENE IN PROGRESS

30 X 40 OIL ON CANVAS MID STAGE

I am a little over half-way through with this painting of  children playing at the beach.  I am being careful to keep the figures loose and impressionistic, especially since they are in motion.  

This is the very beginning.   roughed in the figures with a large brush concentrating on capturing the gesture of the figures.

GIRL IN A STRIPED SWIMSUIT PLAYING AT THE SURF'S EDGE

10 X 8 OIL ON CANVAS

This is the finished figurative painting I started as a demo in my recent workshop. I livened up the flesh tones by adding some cool reds in the shadows on the flesh.   Also, brought out some patterns and colors in the surf.    A lot of thick paint was applied on the water with the reflections.  Keep in mind that oil paint applied thickly with one stroke of the brush or palette knife will have a freshness and luster all on it's on.
