Sunday Best

I was at an antique store in Zainesville, Ohio last summer and found some fun vintage photographs.

I just love this couple... and the dog!

I thought I was done but see I still have some tweaking to do on this...

tomorrow...

watercolor, 6 x 9 inches

Take me out to the ball game...

I thought I was finished with this painting but felt it need something more. So I took out my titanium white and did some washes to adjust some of the color.

I like the way it simplifies some of the shapes. 

Wonder what these two are talking about?

Buddy

This is a demo that I did for the student class. I painted this very quickly so that I didn't take much class time. I wanted to show them how to get a nice fur texture. I exaggerated some of the highlights so they could understand "clumping" shapes, highlights... But anyway, I am happy to finally do a portrait of my little Buddy.

Old Timers

6x9 inch watercolor.

This has been a really fun series for me to paint.

I have been using my photographs

and take out or put in what I think the painting needs.

Watching

Another 5x8 inch watercolor for the Three Rivers Arts Festival.

Just painting away...

Running out of creative titles,

so I will be rethinking some of these when I get some time...

Contemplation

Still working on small images for the Three Rivers Arts Festival.

Philosophers?

I have been working small, 5x9 inches,

trying things out to see what works before I redo bigger.

I found some great photos while doing research for other paintings.

I am easily distracted, and will get back to more Baba paintings soon.

Watercolor study

I did this once before in acrylic... it sold last year.

I always wanted to do this again, but bigger, in watercolor, drippy...

So this is a small 5x7 inch study to plot some colors, cropping...

Even more face cards

I did a few more face cards from vintage photos.

It is nice, quick practice

and a chance to try different backgrounds...

to see how the focal point changes...

Just a Walk

Just a walk... 5x7 watercolor...

I am not feeling well for the past few days, (headache and sinus stuff with the weather change)

so not much to say and my painting.

Just trying to keep painting.
