Beaux Arts, 8x8 oil painting

Beaux Arts

8x8 oil painting

on Raymar cotton panel

Unframed

I named this painting Beaux Arts after the fund-raising event at Scottsdale Artists' School last Saturday. It was a fun night and a successful event for the school.  I'm pleased to say that the two paintings I donated to the silent auction were sold.  I was on the Decoration Committee, and we had made sunflower arrangements for the tables; so we all took some home after the event. My sunflower arrangement died quickly, but I had taken lots of reference photos, and I painted this from one of those photos. Beaux Arts is an annual event, and you can see all the paintings in the auction here.

This painting is available through an online auction on Daily Paintworks.

Today I got in a little sunflower practice.  I haven't painted much in the past few weeks because of roofers and painters at the house, and it's amazing how quickly our skills decline when we don't paint every day!

Stacked

12x4 oil painting

on deep-edge cotton canvas

ready to hang

I re-worked this painting from a previous post, and I'm much happier with it now.  I like the long, narrow format.  This is painted on a deep-edge 12x4 canvas, and the sides are painted black -- no need to frame.  I'll include wire on the back when I ship it, so it will be ready to hang.

I don't know the name of these little purple flowers, but I love the color.  I painted this from a still life set-up in Krista Eaton's class this past week at Scottsdale Artists's School.  We had so much fun -- the time passed all too quickly.  If you like the color purple, Google the words "images of purple flowers" for some great eye candy.

I painted this from a still life set-up in a class I took.  I can't remember which class -- it was either with Hedi Moran or Joni Falk.  I added a few touches of my own as well.  This is a 12x12 painting on a Raymar cotton panel, so I recommend that it be displayed in a frame.

It rained here in Arizona today, so I stayed inside and finished a couple paintings that have been sitting in my studio for a few weeks.  This is one of them -- more of my sunflowers and daisies.

Color Riot

12x4 oil painting

on deep-edge canvas

This isn't what I was going to paint today, but when I went to the market and saw all these bright colors, I grabbed the bouquet and decided to paint it instead.  These daisies are so brightly colored -- how do they do that?  It must be dye, because soon after I put the daisies in a vase,  the water turned pink!  This is painted on a deep-edge canvas, so no need to frame.

I haven't painted sunflowers in a while, so I did this little study to keep in practice.  This painting is on a small deep-edge canvas, so there's no need to frame it.  The sides are painted black (actually, the background and the sides are Payne's Gray acrylic -- not quite black).

This painting is available for purchase on Daily Paintworks.

I didn't have much time to paint today, so I did this little study from a photo I saw on paintmyphoto.ning.com.  This is a site where photographers post photos for artists to use as painting reference.  Although I was looking for a rooster, I couldn't pass up this cute little chick when I saw it.  Many thanks to the photographer, Diane Caswell Christian, for the use of her Spring Chick photo.
