This piece took on a mind of its own. It's far from the original idea I had but I like it. A friend called it "a more abstract version of what I love to do." She's right. I love to paint faces and features...and I wanted to try a "zoomed in" collection of faces in one painting. There ya have it. I'm still considering a few more finishing touches, in lies the danger. lol.

I'll be showing this at TSI Show and Tell for the October 5th Art Walk here in Jax.

Here are more pics:

I have started a project that I think is going to be a great exercise and fun for the people involved. (It's a secret.) I randomly picked this picture of my junior high school friend, Mandy, to paint. She has no idea I painted her...yet. This is another one of my small plein air panels. It was a fun little piece to paint.

I have to say how excited I am to have my plein air panels! Tonight was my first night trying out the small 6" x 6" squares and the painting just seemed to fall together all by itself. I started with a burnt umber under painting and then blocked in Zachary's face like a value study, then proceeded with my mix of cadmium red hue and permanent green light, etc etc. I have had this picture of Zach for a while and have been meaning to paint it. I'm sure I will have to reshoot this painting in daylight and do away with the light reflecting from the wet oil. By the way, my friend Jennifer (in the portrait below) is the photographer. Her link is in my list of links - Jennifer Burggren. Zachary is Jennifer's nephew for those who were curious. :)

I couldn't resist snapping a picture of the clouds with the pinks and oranges shining through them - and the painting turned out even more inspiring than the photo.

I thought I would add a picture of all my latest paintings. I am going to be selling some of these (hopefully) this Saturday. My friend Lorraine and I are having an arts and crafts sale. We think it will do well. If not...that's fine. I love that I'm getting all this new work done lately...and the "Orange You?" painting (not shown in this pic obviously) I might love too much to part with anyhow. :)

This is the third and possibly the last stage I'm going to paint on this piece. I had fun tonight and it went rather smoothly. I added finishing pops of red here and there...and I like the results. And as usual, I can't get a descent picture with my camera. One of these days I'll have to take all of my work outside for some better pics during the day.

Sneak Peak

I worked some more tonight on my latest painting. I'm laying the paint on pretty thick and I'll let layer two dry a bit before I continue. Here is a peak at the painting at stage 2.
