Oil on Gessoed and Oil-Primed Archival Paper, 7" x 10"

This is a quickly-done limited palette oil sketch done in class

as a demo for students. I was quite happy with the results here,

and am only selling it because, like everyone else, I haveto make

a living. This model, unfortunately, moved to Floridathis year,

much to everyone's chagrin. He was a fine person,and a fabulous

model.

Peppers and Turquoise

This is a very small painting. It is only 6" x 3". Therefore, I was able to do it in just
one afternoon. I like the colors. I deliberately made the background and foreground
turquoise. So often paintings of this type have brown backgrounds, or the reverse.
That can undoubtedly be beautiful - but it's done all the time. I wanted to try some-
thing that I don't see all the time. Whether or not it's successful, I'll leave up to
you. It sure is fun to be painting again though.

Thanks for visiting.

This oil over brown under-painting was done on a gessoed 6" x 6"
masonite panel. The main part of the features that you can see
are the underpainting. There are many glazes as well: transparent
Gold Ochre, Indian Yellow, Transparent Red Earth, Transparent
Yellow, and then also a great deal of opaque paint.

This is a fun way to paint. Solve the drawing part first, and then
you are relatively free to fool around with color.

Thanks for visiting today.

P.S. You may have noticed that I've added Google Ad Sense to my

hard......for everyone.
