Fresh Catch

18 x 24 oil on stretched canvas

Whew!  This one took a couple of days and I think I need a break.  I am not accustomed to painting this large (it's large for me).  The photograph just captured my interest.  I love to paint children and this one with her "fresh catch" just tugged at me.  One of my fellow painting friends gave me the reference photo. 

Spring Treats

18 x 24 oil on stretched canvas - SOLD

This is a floral that I repainted this morning.  I never did like it as I don't feel very comfortable with florals but I do like it better with this lighter background I used.  Before it was darker and the flowers just didn't stand out enough.

I have been working on this one for several days - and was way out of my comfort zone with both the subject matter and the size.  I do not like painting landscapes but am determined to get the "feel of it".  I probably shouldn't have even posted as I am sure I will see plenty that needs changing and I am sure this one hasn't seen it's last stroke.  Many times I will see obvious errors once I post that I didn't see prior to that.   I learned a lot on this one, mainly that I need a LOT of work on trees!
