Mannequin Hanging At the End of A Hanger Still Life Oil Painting

4x6 oil on Canvas

I was playing around with my one little manikin last week. The hanger seemed to be a perfect place to hang the first pose. I took the round stand and wire out.

Here is a halloween clip of Peedy and the Candy Dish.

The Watcher Antique Door Stopper on Table Still Life Oil Painting

4x6 oil on canvas - SOLD

Well, I was looking around my house trying to figure out something unique and different to paint. I spied this little antique iron door stopper. It has a weird looking face and always looks like its watching me. Kind of gives me the willies. I sat it on the computer in my studio. There The Watcher sits watching me. BOO!

Happy Halloweenie

White Closet Common Hanger on Nail Still Life Oil Painting

Here is another try to get the colors lighter.

4x6 oil on Canvas

I took another digital only this time in the daylight. It's a bit better so not to clog my blog with images, I took the other one off.
Well, I initially wanted a wooden hanger but ended up with a white one.
I had it hanging on the wall by a nail. The light was odd and hard to read on this thin little subject. It was a challenge and also hard to photograph and turned out darker.

Have a GREAT weekend. I'll be back posting again on Monday.

This is the first time I focused on painting a fall leaf. I am trying to bring out colors that would add a bit more interest in my subjects. I had fun with this puffy little leaf. Yes, its a Texas leaf too. :)

Eggs on Red WIP

This is a work in progress 4x6 oil on canvas

I was gifted by my sister in-law 5 dozens beautiful different colored farm eggs. Okay, my first thought was to paint them. So, I set out to pick the nicest eggs. I then arranged them on crimson red cloth. There is a slightly bluish green egg, a brown egg and a buff colored egg. This image is a bit dark because I just quickly took a digital.

I got the eggs sketched in and thought, Oh not bad. I started blocking in the dark areas, this is when I realized a challenge lies ahead. So, after about 3 hours of work I have decided it will have to be a wip. I am headed out of town for the weekend. This is rare because I never go anywhere. I am suppose to pick up my daughter early from school, in 15 min ha! Well, that won't happen so here I sit trying to type out reasons to why I do not have a completed painting a day, today. Eggs are hard! I shall prevail even if it is a WIP. So, until next week.

Have a Great weekend.
