Nothing like a bunch of happy faced pansies to brighten a small garden or patio!

Wanderings
Oil on Canvas Panel, 6' x 6"
Not Available, Revised on 5/5/2017

This one is to answer the question, "How much do you think you can fit onto a 6" x 6" canvas?"
In other words, how much detail? I know a lot of the artists on DPW do a LOT with such a small space, but I wasn't sure that I could. Maybe, just maybe...

For this one, I used up an old canvas which I had laying around, and didn't blend.
Just basically "went at it". Just to see what would happen.

Thanks to my nephew Sean and his wife Jen for the photo reference from close to their home. Of course, they don't know that I used it, but hey, you can do that with family, right? No need to ask permission.  Just copy it from their Flickr.

Don't you love browsing in the foreign (to you) sections of the grocery store? Fascinating the foods that are available from other cultures. I especially like poring over the "Spanish food" aisles, and found this lovely jar of honey right there. I did go and scout the "regular, normal" honey, and there was nothing as interesting or appealing as this jar, made in Texas, with a comb tucked inside.

It felt good to paint again today, after a pretty big clean-up post Missy Kayla's visit (my 7 year old granddaughter). We had a great time, she really enjoyed VBS (Vacation Bible School) and even though all the grown ups were exhausted afterwards, I'd do it again next year in a heartbeat.

Isn't this one nice? I took my time, spent two days on it, it "feels" summer-ish to me.

I used the reference photo for two gouache pieces a couple of weeks ago, and still really like it. Soooo, thought I'd try it in oils, see what happens. I like both of these, some particular passages of each.

Don't you love seeing all the blossoming trees along the road? Right now the Red Buds are out, and they are so delicate and beautiful (though this isn't a Red Bud.)  I like the Red Maple behind the cherry in this one.

You knew that I would have to do at least one blooming tree this Spring.
I'm thinking of more.

Today was a tough painting day, too many interruptions, too many distractions, too many worries.
So this is what I got, after some fits and starts.

A bit larger version of the one I did the other day, and a bit of a rest from the watercolors, which are more demanding than the oils.

This was done from my imagination, just slopping away and enjoying the winter colors. Really, if you can get past the cold, the colors in winter are so beautiful. This one will take a while to dry. You'll see why in the close up detail below:

The paint is laid on thick in lots of spots.

I know I need to do more work on the still life, where I find the composition and arranging of the still objects a real challenge. Landscapes still feel so much more comfortable for me; colors, strokes, and composition so much easier. Isn't this a sweet little one?

This is the same painting, but I took all the snow fall out, just let it be an impression of a white world.
No more polka dots.

Below is a close up of a little part of the painting, so you can see the palette knife work.
Detail below.

Every once in awhile, a palette knife painting is just the slow down I need. I paint these with just the tip of the pointed small knife, a little tap tap stroke. I'm always happy with how much careful blending you can do with such a tool. Of course, the pieces take forever, but it's also a fun way to paint.
