Recently I ran across some old photos taken in the 50s and saw this little girl and wanted to paint her as I was a former nail biter myself as a child.
I painted this one day this week on top of an old figurative painting I wasn't satisfied with. I enjoy the challenge of painting over old paintings because it helps me stay focused on shapes instead of drawing......
A small bird painting I recently re-worked from last week, I wasn't happy with last week's version but like it now. I love to look out my window and see the birds getting water from my fountain and frolicking in the bird bath.
It's been a long time since I've posted, primarily because I can't seem to post from my iPhone and my desktop is just too slow! My desktop cooperated today so maybe I can continue with my blog. This is one of a blues player from the Mississippi Delta (where I grew up). I ended up rendering him more realistically than I have done recently.
Tried something different for me - snow and landscape! I was attracted to all the warm colors in the snow. I haven't posted much to my blog because of difficulties with downloading photos of my painting. My computer is not picking up photos I take from my iPhone. This was a fluke that it worked today.
