This Morning's Effort - Boats 12x16

Wetlands Series #1

I've been painting a lot lately. But finally got to what I have wanted to paint. This is the second attempt. I like it much better than the first. Giving a lot of thought to "mark making" or how I lay down paint. This is a great subject to play with different methods. I am working on 3 of these simultaneously. I had a lot of fun...it's been awhile since I had fun. feels good. This is oil 16X20 Would appreciate any feed back.

Portrait Study 12x16

Today's Effort. Haven't done a portrait study in a while, here is my effort, its 12x16

"Condiments"

Another still life study - I did use the seven step method on this one, the only difference being that I worked from life instead of a photo reference. Even though there is not much of the burnt sienna showing through, I can see that it definitely added more form and substance to the painting. Thanks for looking!

Today's Efforts.. Tucson Mountains - Dusk 24x30

Still Life Study

I didn't use the seven step method with this one, but I thought I would post it here anyway because it is a study in color placement and how putting the right colors in the right spots creates form, and I think that is stressed in the seven step method, too. It is not elaborate by any means, just a plain little bottle of baby powder. Comments or suggestions are welcome!
