Yipes ! Stripes!

"Seeing Red "

6" x 8" Oil on Raymar panel

This is what I have been working on today, Saturday.    I see I need to make some adjustment in the shape of the reflections in the vase on the right side.   I will work on it again tomorrow to correct and finish it.   I love the red striped material and will probably use it often in paintings.   Below is a painting done awhile back in oil.

"Reflections"

12" x 16" Oil on gallery-wrap canvas

Both of the above paintings are available for your collection.   The "Seeing Red" miniature will be available after I tweak it some more tomorrow.  I will post it again after I make the needed adjustments.

Remember the orchid that followed me home last week?  It only had two lovely opened blossoms on it when I posted it then, but it did have 2 buds that opened fully yesterday and here is a new photo of it.  I just had to share it with you; it is so beautiful and I am inspired to paint it very soon.  I took several reference photos of the buds as they opened gradually.   The name of this orchid is Lc.Dinard "Blue Heaven", although it is definitely a pale lavender color instead of blue.

Tomato Sandwich Anyone ?

Work In Progress 8" x 8"
The Tomato sandwich in the making 

I love tomato sandwiches !  They are also quick and easy to make when you are in hurry.   I very seldom eat bacon now, for health reasons, but that is yummy with the tomatoes as well as lettuce  .....BLT sandwich !   Nowadays, I just eat the tomatoes alone on the sandwich, along with mayonnaise and salt and pepper.

I quickly and very roughly laid in color yesterday in acrylics, but will finish the above 2 paintings in oil with lots of detail.   I also began two other still life paintings as well yesterday which will also be finished in oil paints.  I worked some more on my  4" x 4" water hyacinth yesterday, but I am having trouble with the lavender color .... getting it just right in acrylics is not as easy as with oil paints.   Since it is part of an acrylic set of 4 paintings the same size, I am reluctant to finish the water hyacinth in oils.  Here is a photo of it....remember it is still a work in progress and is rather in a "rough" stage right now.

Lemonade

                                                         5" x 7" Acrylic on Raymar panel
                                                                             $95

This was a fun painting, but sometimes it is hard to tell when a painting is finished and that was the case with  this miniature painting.    Perhaps I will do another lemonade painting soon, and maybe one of ice tea as well.    Hope you enjoy!   Remember "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade"!

Kiwi Treat

My very first time to paint kiwi !   Will definitely paint more in the near future.  I also hope to paint more fruit and vegetables similar to this layout;  close-up and personal !   Hope you enjoy!   The kiwi was quite tasty, by the way!
