­ My daughter’s group photoblog

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

I’m on a deadline doing an illustration project for a client, and painting all day long - much to my delight. So I can’t take time to scan and post right now.
Instead I’d like to introduce you to a group photoblog, UpDownRight that daughter LaBelle Kel (right - at Northwestern U. in Chicago) […]

On the Breakwater - Daily Painting

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

Breakwater - Approx 10.5″ x 5.5″ - Watercolor on paper
Sometimes, instead of drawing something from life or a photo, I just like to start painting and see what emerges. This little sketch began with some large juicy strokes of dark colors, applied with a large flat brush. I leaned back and it looked like rocks […]

Daily Painting - Call her Grace

Monday, January 29th, 2007

7″ x 8″ - watercolor on paper
This is some homework for my watercolor class. The assignment is to paint a number of different subjects very rapidly this week - still lives to landscapes to figures to portraits - and this probably wasn’t rapid enough - I took about 20 minutes or so with it, considering […]

Salt Marshes

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

Salt Marsh 5.5″ x 8″ - oil on canvas, mounted on hardboard
Oh my, it’s 11:30 pm and although I’ve spent part of today finishing up homework for my watercolor class, I didn’t get a complete painting finished yet, so I went to Wet Canvas.com and selected one of […]

Two Sweets - Daily Painting

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

“Two sweets” 5 1/8″ x 7 1/8″
Oil on canvas mounted on hardboard. Available.
While I finish up my larger painting, here’s a little one for today - two chocolates from Trader Joes. They were presented as pralines, but they are actually milk chocolate. The red ones have an amaretto flavor, […]

Hilltop Haven - Daily Painting

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

Hilltop Haven - 2.5″ x 3.5″ watercolor on illustration board with watercolor pencil accents
I like painting these miniature scenes of rural peace. The small size forces me to simplify the message.
I spent the remainder of my painting time yesterday working on a bigger oil painting 11 x 14, which I hope will […]

Living Water - a Monotype

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

“Living Water” - mixed media on paper - 4 1/2″ x 5 5/8″
This was my first experience with a monotype, a painting/printing process I was introduced to by my art pal, Belinda DelPesco. After selecting my image to work with, a photo I took last weekend, I crayoned the image onto […]

Twin Oranges - Daily Painting

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

Twin Oranges - 6.25 x 8.25 - oil on canvas panel, mounted on hardboard
A few days ago Pamela asked me when I was going to paint some oranges, and that got me thinking. I had been wondering about these two little oranges and how they fared in the Great Freeze of […]

Brush play

Sunday, January 21st, 2007

A little value study with black paint and a big brush, done very quickly and loosely from memory. Exercises like these are fun to do and almost remind me a bit of sumi-e style painting. There’s no need to draw the subject carefully ahead of time, just let the brush have its own way. The […]

Morning Song

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

Morning Song at Ojai - 10.25″ x 5.5″ - Watercolor on paper with colored pencil accent
Click to bid - starts at 99 cents
It’s Nibblefest time again. Time to pick up a nice little ORIGINAL watercolor painting starting at 99 cents. The objective of this monthly ebay contest is to earn the most […]
