Scratchy Still, 9x12, Oil on Linen

 

This was fun and I love the results.  A little brush, a little palette knife, and a little daring.

 

Rose Study (14 of 30)

 

Study- Roses, Marker and Acrylic, Approx. 5x7 $10

 

I am offering this because some people like to frame little studies.

I am one of them.  I would like to make this little vase of roses part

of a bigger painting one day.

Venus Loves Coffee (12 of 30)

 

36"x36", Venus Loves Coffee, Acrylic $300

 

This painting was a resule of sort of letting myself go with color. 

 I loved painting bigger!

 

 

Gothic Venus (11 of 30)

 

Gothic Venus, 12x12 , Oil/ Charcoal, $100

 

An ode to Botticelli's Birth of Venus.  

This came out more like 'Goth' Venus.

She sort of reminds me of Juliet of the Shakespearean variety. 

Classic, youthful beauty with unforgettable hair. 

Wildflowers (10 of 30)

 

9x18, Pastel on Wallis Paper, $75

 

This is the first pastel I have included in the 30 in 30 challenge.  I have been working in oils and have enjoyed it immensely but I felt like visiting my pastel box today.  This is 100% pastel.  The underpainting was done using pastel with water and a brush.  After letting that dry I applied more pastels to the top. 

Catchin Some Rays (9 of 30)

 

Catchin Some Rays, 8x10, Oil on linen board, $40

 

I love this one.  The contrast between the values, and that vase make me very happy.  This photo for the most part is correct but there is a bit of blue outside the window pane, and on the tips of a few petals that are not showing up here for some reason.

I hope you like it.

Concrete Dreamin (8 of 30)

 

Concrete Dreamin, 14x11, pastel and acrylic glazing, $50

 

I love his shape and the negative space of the sidewalk on this one.

I also experimented a bit from a sketch I did with pastel under an

clear acrylic glaze.  I gives it a luminosity. 

 

Copper Sleeping (7 of 30)

 

Copper Sleeping, 8x10, Oil on linen board, $40

 

This is my baby.  

One of my greatest joys in life.

I really like the abstact quality of the stroke in this painting.

(If you think there is a tail missing, you are right,

he doesn't have one.)
