# 194: The Green Chair

12" x 9" oil on canvas

overall I had a better painting session this week, but rushing to finish within the 3 hour time, got lost at the end...

# 193: Unattainable

6" x 6" oil on canvas

# 192: Little Buddies

6" x 6" oil on canvas

This guess were sitting together on my self and i just had to paint them together.

# 191: The Red Chair

12" x 9" oil on canvas

This was a three hour pose, with a wipe-out half way through. My second attempt was a little better then my first though I am still not happy with it. Ah well, better painting next week.

# 190: Seeing Green

6" x 6" oil on canvas

# 189: Lost Shoe

6" x 6" oil on canvas

I meant to submit to Illustration Friday last week for the word "lost", but didn't get it done on time.

Well it was an interesting challenge again, painting distortion through glass. The thing with looking through glass, is that the slightest shift in position changes everything.

# 188: Funny Face

6" x 6" oil on canvas

This was a fun challenge and a subject that I will be interested in taking on again. I am a little disappointed in the value contrast...but that will be something that I will work on another day.

# 187: Light Show

7" x 5" oil on canvas

This was interesting in that there was almost now form shadow and so value shifts are quite subtle

# 186: Wild Mushrooms

6" x 6" oil on canvas

185: Apples to Go

6" x 6" oil on canvas

I had to give the apple subject another go. I think that I like this one the best.

184: Pink Rose

6" x 6" oil on canvas

# 183: Near and Far 2

6" x 6" oil on canvas

I attempted the same subject again because I was not satisfied with my previous attempt. Somethings are better and some not as good. Willa  third time time be a charm? It is such a  simple subject but, perhaps because of the simplicity, I am having a bugger of time with it.

# 182: Near and Far

6" x 6" oil on canvas

# 181: Karate Pig

6" x 6" oil on canvas

# 180: New Black Shoes

6" x 6" oil on canvas

# 179: Cowgirl with Earing

9" x 7" oil on canvas

# 178: Pastoral Plums

6" x 6" oil on canvas

# 177: King Pear

7" x 7" oil on canvas

The top pear seems to be lording over his subjects.

I tired to get more gestural and simple in my approach to the subject today and used a 1' brush for most of the paint application. I feel pretty happy with it...except for the bowl which got over-worked and fussy
