I have irises blooming in my little yard right now, transplants from my friend J.

Creek with Rocks - NA

Creek with Rocks
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 16"
Not Available, revised on May 14, 2013.

I'm happy with the color harmony in this one. The rocks are done with Raw Umber, White and a touch of Dioxazine Purple. Weird sounding color combo, but I like the results.

I'll spend today planning a landscape for our class tomorrow, but meanwhile, here's an oil sketch I did last evening.

Varied Hydrangeas, Revised
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 14" x 18"

Revised from the original, I put blue sky behind the bush instead of the stucco wall.
Fresher, I think

Pears Bowled Over
Oil on Canvas Panel, 11" x 14"

Since my granddaughter has been asking to eat a pear, I figured I'd better do a second pear painting before that happens. (Her Daddy wants one too.)
Thanks for looking.

My private student and I worked on values today, so I had fruit out anyway, and decided it was time for a little still life.

This one got a new lease on life by becoming a cloud study.

Not only do I not have any minutes on my phone, and no proper Internet connection, (I'm using the landlady's connection at the moment) but now of course, I'm also out of canvas. These are palette knife paintings over old acrylic works. I really like the Pines piece.

Hydrangeas 2013 - NA

Hydrangeas 2013
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 14" x 18"
Revised on 4/29/2013.

I took my time with this one, three days off and on. I scraped, changed, redid any areas that weren't just right, and now I'm pretty happy with the entire painting. I think it's one of my best hydrangea pieces to date.

Cloud Study, Palette Knife - SOLD

Cloud Study, Palette Knife
Oil on Canvas Panel, 8" x 10"
SOLD.

This was a small "demo canvas" that I've used in class to show knife techniques, and I figured I would use it up. I had lots of blues left over from my hydrangeas, so here's what came out.

Hydrangea Sketch - SOLD

Warm Up Sketch: Hydrangeas
Oil on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD.

I have a request for a painting of hydrangeas, but it's been such a while since I painted them, that I wanted to do a warm up sketch. Also, I wanted to try a different way to paint these beauties, but this isn't quite it yet.
More work to do. Meanwhile, someone might like this little guy.

This is from another paint along, although Johannes did his in acrylics, and while watching the video, I decided that I will try this again, using acrylics. This one is in oils.
