Vase with Pussywillow Still Life Oil Painting

5x7 oil on linen

I am busy getting ready for a show so I will not be posting a lot this week. It's the last minute stuff one does.

Thursday's Painting

Well, its been one of those days. I worked 3 hours on a painting then I ended up doing a complete wipe out. I should have wiped it off in the first 15 minutes. Well, anyway, its been a long time since I have had to do one of these. So, I guess I can't complain except for the muggy kind of weather here today.

Anyways, no painting for Thursday. Tomorrow I well be at it again.

Three Fall Leaves Still Life Oil Painting

6x8 oil on linen

This one here is the double primed linen panel from the Raymar sample pack. I think its a bit too smooth for my touch. I seem to paint a lot easier and quicker on the single primed linen.These are leaves from my Oriental Pear tree.

Candy Kiss Still Life Oil Painting ACEO

2 1/2 x 3 1/2 oil on card

I thought I would try a chocolate kiss. It was a bit difficult since the chocolate kiss was done under indoor spot light but mostly the size was a challenge. I think I should look into finding one of those magnifying lights with the eye piece for miniatures.

A bit of a glare but overall good digital.

Three Wine Colored Plump Grapes Still Life Oil Painting

6x8 Oil on Canvas panel


Here is my still life setup is below.

I had ordered some Raymar canvas panels last week and got them in time to try one out. I got the Raymar sample pack. There are 4 different types of canvas panels. So far very nice panels. Also, used my Garrett's Copal medium again. I think its really aiding in the application of the paint. I had ordered a bottle a few weeks ago and somehow it got lost but finally came back to Ron Garrett. He was so nice to send me that one too. So, yes I spent a bit more money than had planned but decided to make my second bottle a gift to a very special person. I am going to try the sample bottle of copal concentrate I received with the lost bottle. I will report on that next time I post.

Its Friday and hope the week was great for all and see you Monday.

Two Pomegranates Still Life Oil Painting

6x8 oil on canvas panel

This is a new type of still life set up. I found myself a box that was deep enough to give me a different mood. It has a black background.

I think I will work with the darker background and need to lighten it a bit.

Also, this is my first painting I have used Garretts Copal Medium with. I will need to work with the medium a bit to become familiar with it better. The glare is strong in this digital but thats as good as I could get.
