Rose Trio

Rose Trio

6"x8"  oil on canvas panel SOLD

Artist Note.

Its been a busy week

and a busy weekend

is already in progress.

I agreed to do a demo for the 

Las Cruces Art Association

many months ago and 

promptly forgot.

The reminder was delivered

by the president

a couple of days ago...

...with a big grin 

at my look of horror 

when he said Sunday.

Surely it cannot be so soon?

Yup, no way out

 and it has created 

a panic attack.

I still get so nervous.

They have good artists 

in that group.

What to paint?

Still don't have a clear idea,

but it will be a still life.

Tomorrow, Sunday, at 2 pm.

Wish me luck!

Calla Lily Study

Calla Study

12x9in oil on linen  Sold

I took some of the calla lilies out of the 

previous rose and lily bouquet 

to do a separate study. 

This one was done on

a sheet of Senso - a wonderful, 

clear primed linen -  

leaving the natural color as 

part of the background. 

Artist Note

When I do a study using "paint",

I quickly try to

grasp the essential essence 

of my personal response to 

what I am 

feeling 

as well as what 

I am seeing. 

If I am tackling 

a brand new subject,

I like to do a detailed 

exploration where

I  start with a tight 

and accurate drawing. 

I have many, many 

calla lily drawings.

Love their grace.
