Abstracted Waterfall

6"x8" oil on canvas panel $150.

Purchase SOLD

Artist Note

This was inspired by the same photo 

as shown on previous post, 

but approached 

in an entirely different way.

First...

I zoomed in on a smaller area of the photo

and let my imagination create the shapes

plus a different color harmony.

Play and Discovery

This was a lot of fun.

It became all about the process

because I was not worried about 

making it exactly like the photo.. 

I made notes of what I liked,

 technique wise,

and equally important...

did not like. 

I will repeat in another painting 

the parts of what I liked and maybe

it will be as enjoyable as this 

one was to paint..

Stay Safe everyone

Seeing Red!

Poppies

6x6in oil on canvas panel $110. SOLD

Artist Note.

Classes have started and 

it feels good to be back into 

a daily routine.

Just as it felt good to be taking 

a break before the holidays.

This is a fun-to-do painting.

No pressure of complexity...

just capturing the impression

of flowers without 

getting too detailed.

The difference between this

and the one 

in my previous post 

is quite pronounced.

Yet it  is the same 

subject matter

 - flowers in a vase -

playing with warm and cool 

colors and paint texture.

Main difference?

This one is missing 

the full range of values

the previous one had.

Next difference?

This is a contemporary

viewpoint, 

and the previous one 

was traditional.

See previous post here

I like them both for 

different reasons, 

but most importantly

I enjoy being 

able to do both.
