# 387: Star Flower
12" x 9" oil on board
I am getting into trying to post almost daily again. Couldn't post yesterday because it was a cloudy day and I couldn't get a good picture. I will have to paint a couple of days ahead now that I am Minnesota. The picture isn't great either ( I need a better camera). The pot blue is less vivid and the green/yellows are warmer in the real thing. Still, I must post!
What I am working on while painting from observation:
1. Don't overwork it
2. Paint in a more abstract manner....what I feel over what I see
3. Strong value contrast.
4. Include areas of neutral color
5. Shape.
6. Rhythm

# 381 Excuse Me
12" x 12" oil on canvas
Doing caricature unusual for me and is something that I aim to explore mere. These two characters came out of an abstract painting that I was working on...they just seemed to appear and once I saw them it was impossible to un-see them. Therefore I decided to flesh them out more.

# 378: Rope dancer
12" x 12" oil on canvas
Oh my. It has been a very long time since I posted last. I really need to rename my blog.
I was a little preoccupied with putting a show of my work up at the Huntington beach library. It was a bit of a paint, but well worth the agony. Thanks to all of you that came to see it!
