Portrait Contemporary Oil Painting Child Boy


Fishing Derby
Cub Scouts
oil on panel 
6x6"
2019

I have been working on simplifying my portraits and boy do I have a long way to go.  You would think making something less detailed would be easier but it definitely is not, quite the opposite.   I spent way too long on this one and have a lot of work to do but it will be worth the effort.

I am planning to work on more portraits and still lifes.  They are not my strongest subjects and there is room for improvement.   I always tend to get to tight in my rendering.

Faded winter light.  Well what an exhausting first day in the studio!  I haven't painted for a couple weeks so I am feeling rusty.  So then I picked a complex subject, whew my brain is tired :)

Bocce Ball Boy at Play Impressionism Original Contemporary Oil Painting


nfs
"Bocce Ball"
oil on panel 
6x6"

A sweet young boy runs to see who gets a point in a game of bocce ball.

On mother's day we set up a badminton set for the day.  The birdies were a bit mangled and flying in all directions.  The older kids decided to the store to get new birdies.  They came home so excited, they found a bocce ball set on clearance!  We played all afternoon.

Seven Child Portrait Oil Study



"Seven"
oil on panel
6x6"

A quick study of a little boy who doesn't sit still for long.  These little studies are so fun.  I feel they represent that constant motion of childhood.  A glimpse of exploration, adventure, bare feet and giggles.  

I need to do more of these.

Boy Picking Pumpkin Fall Autumn Daily Oil Painting


sold
"The Best Pumpkin"
6x6" oil on gesso

On a recent trip to a you pick pumpkin patch the children were told to pick their very own pumpkin.  Along with instructions to pick one that you could wrap both arms around in a hug.  Not too big, not too heavy because it was yours to carry the rest of the time at the pumpkin patch.  The kids were fun to watch as they meticulously picked the best one.  Some found theirs right away, some searched and searched.  Of course there were a couple that picked one a bit too big but insisted that they could manage.  So fun to watch how proud they each were with their special pumpkin.

You Pick Apple Orchard Little Boy Daily Oil Painting Heidi Malott



sold
"The Perfect Apple"
6x6" oil on primed masonite

What a fun afternoon at a local apple orchard.  My little guy, among many schoolmates had a great time picking their own "perfect" apples.  The trees were a dwarf variety, or maybe pruned that way, making it fun for the little ones to explore and pick.  The day seemed like it was right out of a storybook.

Portrait Boy and His Puppy 11x14" Oil Painting

 
cropped portion of:
"Boy and His Puppy"
11x14"

sold

I am in the process of completing this painting for a friend.  I am having a difficult time with getting good photographs of it.  When the paint is still wet and you have dark darks it is nearly impossible.  I really enjoyed the challenge of doing a portrait, it has been awhile.

Antique Toy Car Child Contemporary Impressionist Painting

"New Driver"
nfs
6x6" oil on primed masonite

This little car has seen many hours of "driving" from more than ten little children over a period of many years.  As old as the saying is, it still holds true, "they just don't make 'em like they used to".

The sunny day made for a pleasant painting experience.

A visit to the ocean is always special.  My kids can play all and I mean ALL day in the sand and water.

I enjoyed the softness of this little painting.  Kind of like the sweet little boy, very soft at heart.

Original Oil Painting Young Boy Chasing Seagulls Beach Ocean Seashore


Sold
"Chasing Gulls at Sunset"
6"x6" oil on primed art panel

Kids love to chase the gulls on the beach.  The seagulls never seem to tire of it, they just land a few feet away.  I wouldn't be surprised if they enjoy it too.

Children Impressionism Painting Contemporary Siblings Boy Girl Brother Sister


sold
"Children Exploring" I have painted this in my head many times. A picture of two of my children climbing on rocks, has been sitting in my easel drawer for years. I sat in my studio uninspired and ready to go fold laundry instead. I came across the photo and that was enough. The laundry would have to wait. I have always loved old impressionist paintings of children. I am glad to finally paint it. Maybe I need to do this more often. hmm....

This painting is 6"x6" oil on board.
