Painting On The Rocks


12 x 16 oil on canvas

This one needs some more fine tuning but I'm stopping for now.  I need a lesson on rocks!  I just painted on a piece of loose canvas which has a big fold in bottom left corner but hopefully it will straighten out when I mount it on board.

DPW Challenge - Blackeyed Susans


 5 x 7 oil on canvas board - SOLD

This is my submission for this week's Daily Paintworks Challenge.  We were to set up outside, 1 to 5 feet from some flowers on the ground and paint them in one session.  This is called en plein air.     Only 3 colors plus white could be used:  Cadmium Yellow, Cadmium Red Light and Ultramarine Blue and we had to complete it within an hour using only 3 brushes!  I was glad for the hour to be over because it was miserable outside with the humidity this morning.  I have never painted outside before and that's why - can't take the elements!  It was a great challenge though, not enough time to fuss with it too much, which is a good thing.
