Kristi's Mawmaw

I'm getting set to work on a portrait for my friend Kristi. This painting will be of her grandmother. I love the fact that she's holding a chicken, love the shadow, love the primary colors, love the pleats in her skirt. I hope I can do this lady justice...she was an amazing person in Kristi's life!

Kristi took photographs of me and we had so much fun. She's a master at getting beautiful shots that capture the essence of the subject. Love her work. Check it out!

"Unhinged"

Unhinged

Oil on Canvas

What a beautiful day! Just finished working on my old hinges purchased at the Antique Mall. These were great fun to paint. I LOVED playing with the texture of the layers of peeling paint. This was like frosting a cake! Yummy. Hope you like it.

 

Inspiration

Hi Friends! Just pondering my latest painting. I found inspiration at The Antique Mall. I could live there! I picked up a couple of old hinges. They're pretty distressed, painted white, and for some reason just drew my eye. So, after playing around with the composition, just sat down to paint. I'm having a great time with the texture of the peeling paint. I also decided to add a splash of my favorite color, Prussian blue. Look for a pic by this weekend!
