From Albuquerque Window to Still Life (Works In Progress)

Albuquerque Window (Old Town)

Work in progress  16" x 20" oil

This one is off to a good start; still have a lot of work to do on it as you can see from my reference photo below.  

This is not my best photography; either that or the window was really that slanted   ;-)

I am also working on a still life, photo below.

"Forget Me Not"  Work In Progress

12" x 16" Oil

The teacup has forget me not flowers on it and will really take some time to paint.   It is one of my favorite teacups in my possession.  I intend to paint a series of teacups in the future.

I have three other paintings I am working on in addition to the ones shown here.   Please check back again soon for completed works.

"Tropical Patterns With Limes and Plums"

12" x 16" Oil on gallery wrap canvas

This was so enjoyable to paint.   I need to buy more material in a variety of printed designs so I can use it for  backgrounds for future paintings.  Hope you enjoy !

Glorious Abundance - Peonies

"Glorious Abundance"

16" x 20" Oil on canvas

Peonies are a favorite flower of mine, but of course they do not grow in a tropical climate like Hawaii so I have to buy cut flowers from the florist to enjoy and paint.   When I lived in New England I had several peonies in my flower garden.

Breakfast At Morning Brew

"Breakfast At Morning Brew"

5" x 7 " oil on canvas on panel

$195

This was a quick and fun oil sketch completed today.   Morning Brew is a popular coffee shop in Kailua on Oahu.   I had been taking photos of Hamakua Marsh and the wildlife found there and decided to have breakfast at Morning Brew before visiting Kailua Beach to take more photographs.

"Fall Harvest"

6" x 6" Oil on canvas

Persimmon time again !   I intend to paint more persimmons soon, but feel the need to work on some larger, major works for the most part right now.   I will continue to paint miniatures now and then as well.

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

In progress

 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.   

Please feel free to comment here or send me an email at reynoldsrenditions@gmail.com if interested in purchasing "Tomato And Mayonnaise Sandwich Half" or any other original of mine.  Thank you for your interest and for visiting my blog !

It Came From Barnes And Noble

"Barnes and Noble Mug"

6" x 8" Oil on panel 

I fell in love with this mug from the bookstore Barnes and Noble and bought a set of 4 about 3 years ago.  One has since left this life due to a breakage, and I have never seen this particular mug in that store again.   Anyway, just completed this oil painting in the wee hours this morning.  I have been working on 5 paintings at once, as I have to wait for one to dry before I can proceed with more work on it and therefore I work on another painting while I wait.... and so on.   Below is the corrected and completed painting I posted here this past Sunday.

"Seeing Red"

6" x 8" Oil on panel

Both of the above paintings are available for your collection and will be shipped after 10 days to allow plenty of time for the oil paint to dry before packaging it for shipment.   Contact me at reynoldsrenditions@gmail.com for purchase information.     

Below is another WIP I will work on later today.   Those are persimmons and grapes on the plate; I plan to make the grapes more of a dark blue color, but we shall see what happens as I fling the paint around !

Orchids Versus Depression

                                                                        8" x 10" Oil
                                                                            $500


The depression in the title of this painting is of course referring to the pink depression glass.  I have had those items for a long time and it felt good to finally paint this glass.   So many things I want to paint; so little time !!   So happy to finish this painting as I need to move on to something new for another competition.   I have several other still life reference photos with these cymbidium orchids and other still life props.    All in due time.....

Hope you enjoy this painting and please come back and visit again soon !
