Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 8"
SOLD at $20 plus $8 shipping.

It was fun to have my models in a different place today. I dragged in a short outdoor plastic table, showered it, and added boxes for height. Good to shake things up a little.

Riverside in Spring Green - SOLD

Oil on Stretched Canvas, 9" x 12"
SOLD at $20 plus $8 shipping, click HERE to purchase.

This one is a revision of  "Waiting for Green" from the other day (see below). I DO trust my collectors to spot a painting that "doesn't quite" and pass by it. I think this is much more fun, more colorful, more cohesive.

This is what it looked like before revisions:

Better, yes?

I need new reference material. Once my car is working again, I can get out, cruise around for some photos, find some good plein air spots, get some new scenes to paint. Meanwhile, this one is just made up, with thoughts of green and warm and Spring.

Detail Below of left side of canvas

All sides, top and bottom are painted as extensions of the painting, so no frame is needed.
This is an older piece, and it thought for a moment that it was going to England, but the shipping was too high. Now I've lowered the price, so we'll see where it lands up.

Completely revised today, the little lemon painting from March 3.
Much better now, I think. It looked like this before:

The challenge looked pretty interesting this week, and I liked the reference photo provided. The four tubes of paint we were allowed: Phthalo Blue, Cadmium Yellow Medium, Cadmium Red and White.

I liked some of the colors you can get with just these few choices, but the browns were tough to get right.

A little close in view of one of the pansy faces.
(The dark interiors caught some glare, so I tried to touch them up in Photoshop. You can see some streaks, but those aren't in the painting.)

Today I decided to be more literal with the leaves, but I actually prefer the leaf treatment from yesterday, I think. Which do you guys like better?
Been awhile since I ran an auction, so i thought I'd give this one a try.

Pansies at the Giant (one of our local groceries) were 3 pots for $10. I couldn't resist.
Tomorrow will be some yellows.
I wanted the leaves to be abstract, and though I had to work at it, I like how this looks.

This one is done with the same Zorn palette: White, Ivory Black, Yellow Ochre and Cadmium Red, with the addition of Ultramarine Blue. The blue makes a big difference, especially for the white shadows on the little farmhouse, and the blue tones in the trees.

Another rough and tumble floral tonight, as I ran around all day, and didn't have much time to really think too much about it, just painted. In spite of that, I'm pretty happy with the way it came out.
