I often will "boost" my post of my favorite paintings (aka pay to have them seen). Unfortunately this is just the reality of facebook these days and it's been a business decision that I have had to accept.

I think at some point this week, I lost my reference photo "and just winged it" for the rest. It was good practice, as I often find the cream coloured owls a bit more of a challenge, as it can be tricky to get the values just right. I'm pretty happy with this little one - I might even try it again, but on a larger canvas.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07612029440138816120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846384846019194560.post-79263762814567447902015-02-10T10:55:00.000-08:002015-02-10T10:55:00.427-08:00Smitty, 10 x 10 Acrylic on Canvas<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

He was once a reference photo that I used, and now he is created from my imagination. There are small variations with each version that may not be obvious (or areas that I always try to work on and improve). I've heard many times in workshops/ classes that one of the best way to improve as an artist is through repetition of the same thing. This allows you to experiment and not worry so much about what the final outcome is and you can compare what each small change does to the overall piece. For example this guy has a dark Magenta ground (or base layer) vs. my typical transparent red oxide.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07612029440138816120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846384846019194560.post-12676343535948971302015-02-08T10:06:00.001-08:002015-02-08T10:06:06.598-08:00Looks like I had a visitor<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I thought it would be fun to share some of my older paintings (although it feels a bit like showing off my childhood elementary school picture). This is one of my first paintings I did, and it still hangs in my home.

Sorry for being so quiet. With the little ones back to school, I have been spending some much needed alone time bonding with my new studio. I did put in some time painting of course ... and here is my first piece in 2015. I usually only paint "solo" animals, but I loved the look of this couple. I think these two are a great start to the year and another new favorite for me. Wishing you all the best in 2015</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07612029440138816120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846384846019194560.post-89399481072005827032014-12-29T16:25:00.003-08:002014-12-29T16:25:57.413-08:00Helen 24 x 12 Acrylic on Canvas<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
