Rodeo Wagon

"I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers." - Claude Monet


"Rodeo Wagon"
8" x 10" oil on gessobord
$500

This painting is based on a photograph I took at Descanso Gardens in the suburbs of Los Angeles a few years ago.   Claude Monet would have enjoyed Descanso Gardens ! This little wagon has lost most of it's red paint; I think I like it better that way.   

Thank you for visiting today !

Tranquility


"Tranquility"
6" x 6" oil on canvas on panel
$325

This painting is based on a photo of mine of a lake in Michigan; however, I changed it considerably.  I added a rowboat and instead of a sunny, blue sky I made it a sunrise, as well as other changes.   I spend about as much time on this size miniature painting as I do on a 9" x 12" or a 12" x 16".

This painting of lemonade makes me want to go make another glass of it right now to drink!  It was a challenge yet rather fun to paint the reflections of the lemon behind the glass.

I am painting away right now to my heart's content, so please return again for new works to be posted soon.

Still Life Painting Demo - Qiang Huang

For a change of pace I thought maybe some of you would enjoy this still life painting demonstration by a wonderful artist, Qiang Huang.  I have a link to his blog on the left side here on my blog.  Check it out or go here to view his art.

I intend to make a video of my own before too long, but of course I will need someone knowledgeable to help me with it.    I would appreciate any suggestions !    I will be posting new paintings next week.  Please come back for a visit and stay awhile.   :-)

Blushing Pink Peony


"Blushing Pink Peony"
8" x 8" acrylic on canvas

I had lots of fun here with the colors in the peony blossom.   This turned out a little impressionistic, but that is okay with me.   Hope you enjoy.

Laniakea Beach on Oahu - Photos

Yesterday I posted a few photographs taken at Laniakea Beach, but I concentrated mostly on the turtles that are found there.   Today I thought you might enjoy more photos of the beach only.   Below are some of my reference photos of "Turtle Beach", as some people call it.



You can easily see how rocky this beach is in some areas, but it is very lovely there and worth a trip to stay awhile and take photos of the turtles.   It is not the greatest for swimming, but some people snorkel there among the turtles.


The above photos are looking towards Haliewa , which is very near Laniakea Beach.   I need to paint the above photo soon.  I know, I say that all the time !  But this one really needs to be painted.  Also, the photo below taken at Laniakea Beach is crying out to me saying "Paint me!"


I will be painting away the next couple of days, so please return to view new works.

Mahalo for visiting today!
