Having fun with this calliope of color.  I am sitting this on the mantel with my Halloween decorations until it finds a home.  

I think this one would also be fun year round, perhaps in a children's room.

Simplifying the not so simple.  Sometimes you have to squint your eyes and record the bits and pieces or essence of the moment.

Colorful Landscape Original Oil Painting

"Friday"

oil on panel 

6x6"

With the short, dark, cold days of winter I really wanted to play with color.  I spent way too long looking through digital images for inspiration.  I about ran out of time for the day.  I finally found some inspiration and worked on a few that went into some interesting directions.  Whew!

So back to today's painting,  I had a blast with Mr. G's glorious color.  With much effort, this is the closest I could get to the true color of the painting.  You will have to trust me it is even better in person.  The greens are much richer ugh!

Spring Landscape Contemporary Impressionism

"Early Spring Colors"

6x6" oil

The clouds were rolling by quickly on this brisk spring day.  The new greens are really starting to pop.  This was a fun and a fast paced painting with thin washes and thin layers of color.  You will have to trust me on this, the picture here does not do the original painting justice.  The colors have more subtle shifts of color and the value has more contrast.  The blues don't look so glowing, more realistic or atmospheric.  I gave up trying to take a better one.  Maybe when the painting is dry I will try again.  :)

"Painted Desert"

6x6" oil on masonite

This is the last of my 3 day Southwest series.  I have to say, though, that I may continue to do some more later this week.  The desert makes me think of one my favorite painters, Edgar Payne.  His desert paintings are stunning.  If you haven't seen his work check it out on Google, you wont be disappointed.

I am occasionally retaking photos of some older artwork that I feel the photos may not represent them well enough.  As you can see this is a highly textured painting.  I love when the brushstrokes seem to have a life of their own.  When you can see that the image was "built" in a series of thick brushstrokes.  Nice and chunky, like pineapple...
