Tomato Sandwich Portrait


"Tomato Sandwich Portrait"
8" x 8" Oil on canvas

This painting was completed a few minutes ago.  I started it this past October but put it aside for awhile to work on other paintings.   To view the work in progress then go here    Below is another photo of this painting as a WIP.

Yesterday I ran errands and also went to Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki and took several photos there of the waterfowl and other things.   Below is a shot from the beach at the Hilton.


This photo would make a good painting.  To see more of the photos I took at the Hilton please go here

Now back to the easel !

Tomato And Mayonnaise Sandwich Half


 
"Tomato And Mayonnaise Sandwich Half"
8" x 8" Oil on canvas
$375

I put finishing touches on this painting early this morning, but mostly completed it last night.   What a fun painting !   I also worked on the other tomato sandwich painting, but it has a ways to go yet to be finished.
In the above work, some of those black "dots" in the mayonnaise are black pepper specks.  I love to eat tomato sandwiches !  Below are some photos of different stages of this painting.

Work in progress
Very rough initial color lay-in

 Second stage

You can easily see how I change things a bit as I go;  in a way that is more creative than painstakingly drawing a detailed sketch on canvas and then "coloring" it.    With other mediums, like watercolor, one might have to by necessity make a detailed drawing first on paper; these photos of mine just show the way I personally like to work.   Everyone has their own method that works best for them, and that is as it should be.
