Purple Flowers, Original Oil Painting

Purple Flowers is an original oil painting on a 12 x 9 gallery wrapped canvas.  I painted the scene on a black gesso background to make the flowers pop.  I used the freestyle approach without use of sketch, pattern, or references.  Hope you like the painting.

Pierce Church, Original Acrylic Painting

The Pierce Church painting was done in December 2008 and was intended for sale, but has been one of our favorites and so it is hanging in our home.  We now have more favorites than wall space and The Pierce Church is available for $350 plus s/h and tax if applicable.  The Pierce Church is historical as it was built by Shanghi Pierce for his cowboys on one of the largest ranches in Texas.  Some very interesting information about it is available on the internet.  Hope you like the painting.

The Redbirds, Original Painting

The Redbirds are painted in acrylics on a 16x20 inch gallery wrapped canvas.  I have wanted to paint a pair of Redbirds in a realistic setting for a long time and was so lucky to get a picture of the newly weds in our bougainvillea. They also nested in a bush next to our porch and hatched three chicks.  My wife and I love watching the wildlife that live in our area.  Several of my paintings are of birds and flowers living in our yard.

I hope you like the painting.

My Mandolin, Original Acrylic Painting

My Mandolin is the second of a series of three string instruments I am painting.  (See the previous post about the Viola)  All three will be painted with fine acrylics on 24 x 12 inch gallery wrap canvas with edges painted.

For artists that may be interested in shop talk:

The little mandolin turned out to be an interesting challenge as it has many components to deal with each having unique surfaces or shapes.  I hung a blue snuggy for the background material during the still life setting which added some nice folds and wrinkles and make the painting more interesting.  The palette requirements were a tidbit of this and that, but the mainly was : white, black, raw umber, raw sienna, burnt sienna, burnt umber, red, cerulean blue, phthalo blue, naples yellow, and acro gold.  To get the light amber for body I used washes several times using more or less glaze for the lighter and darker areas.

Today, I did the still setting of my grandson's guitar and will start painting it tomorrow.  I like to paint things that are meaningful to me.  This painting reminds me of my younger days when I played the guitar and mandolin.

I hope you have enjoyed the post and will refer me to your family and friends.
