Forgotten

"Forgotten"

6" x 8" Oil on linen panel 

This painting was completed today, Thursday.   I added the birds at the last, and they seem to add balance to the piece.  In the painting, the bluebonnets are not quite as bright as this photograph depicts them.  Below is the reference photo I took somewhere in Texas.

I almost used the yellow flowers alone with no bluebonnets in the painting, but in the end the bluebonnets won out.   As you can tell, I made some changes in the painting and did not go exactly by the photo.

I have begun working on 3 paintings of flowers today....for a change of pace.   Please check by real soon for the new work.

Camille Pissarro - French Impressionist

I wanted to share this video of some of Camille Pissarro's paintings.  He was a French Impressionist that lived from 1830 to 1903.   As a teenage artist myself, I would check out books at the Library on French Impressionists and literally pour over them for hours and hours and was very much inspired by their works.  Pissarro was one of my favorites.   I know you will enjoy this video.

Life has interfered with my painting the past few days but I should post a new painting in the next day or two.  

Rain Clouds - Sunny Plumeria

"Rain Clouds - Sunny Plumeria"

6" x 8" Oil on linen panel 

$325.00

Just finished this miniature a few minutes ago.   I had misplaced my reference photo that I intended to use for this painting....could not find it anywhere...so I painted this from memory and imagination.   The yellow plumeria complement the blues nicely.    

Below are two reference photographs of mine that will give you a hint of what else is on the easel right now.

This longhorn I photographed in Michigan.   When I lived in Texas I took very few pictures of longhorn cattle; just wasn't that interested in painting them back then.   

This is a scene somewhere in Texas.  I believe I will make that a wooden windmill when I finish working on the painting.   Please check back soon to view the new work.

Horses Of Course

"February - Kauai"

8" x 10" Oil on stretched canvas

$500

Recently I realized this is the only painting I have available with horses in it.   It is time I paint more horses!  Below are some photos taken on the North Shore of Oahu recently.

I took around 40 shots of these horses that day....too many to post here  :-)    Below are some photos I took a few years ago on what I believe was North Padre Island in Texas.... we visited South Padre Island as well so my memory is not too clear, but I am pretty sure it was North Padre Island.

I really have my work cut out for me !   Right now I am working on two miniature farm scenes, and I may add horses to one of them.   I rather like the idea of painting the horses on the sand dunes.  Their owner was nearby when I shot these photos.    

Thank you for stopping by to visit today !

Falls At Nuuanu Stream

Falls At Nuuanu Stream

16" x 12" Oil on panel

This scene is near downtown Honolulu in a small park.  I hope to create more paintings from my reference photos of this area.   That is pale pink ginger flowers in the foreground and they were actually there in reality; I did not add them from my imagination.

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 !
