Nathalie

This is an 8" x 12" acrylic painting on canvas board that I painted a few years back.

I painted this painting while I was up in North Carolina taking care of my sick child.

It was a real blessing for me to be able to take my mind off my son's care for

brief periods of time while painting this really great painting of Nathalie. 

Thank you Nathali

This painting has been sold.  

Prints are available though at the link below

Thank You! and Enjoy!

Edie's Granddaughter

A 5" x 7" acrylic on canvas board

This is a portrait included in my second portrait project.

This portrait project began with the idea

of getting much quicker at painting these delightful little 5 x 7s.

Well that didn't work but I sure have enjoyed doing them

and I suppose I've learned a lot.

This is the first of 12 in this second portrait project and

hopefully I will be displaying them all.  But for now

Enjoy!!!!!!

And the coming together of the painting.

Thanks for viewing my work and more of my work

"Awesomely Beautiful in Every Way"

Brandi Windslow

Every now and then I run across a subject

that completely inspires me.

 

I am absolutely blown away by this beautiful women.

She is beautiful in her heart and her soul.

She is kind and generous and

lets our dear Lord and savior guide her.

 

She has been truly blessed and I feel the same to have

been able to have such a beautiful face

as a subject for one of my portraits.

 

Bless you Brandi.

 

And Thank you.

 

Thank you and Enjoy!

Portrait project

There must be at least a million things I have

seen  that I would love to paint.

It's a slow process though.

 

It's time to post my progress on my portrait project.

 

Please keep in mind that this is just a progress report.

 

They are not finished.  Hopefully soon though.

 

Enjoy!

 

Thank you very much!

"Portrait Challenge Progress"

Focus, focus, focus

It's taking all my concentration to attempt

to move faster while painting my portraits

in this paint challenge.

Yep!  it's really difficult seeing as how I don't seem to do anything

quick these days.

Every time I do a session I am able to force myself 

to relax my brush strokes just a bit.

I remember Fritz Van Eden mentioned that

in order to get fast you had to

practice, practice, practice.

 

So I'm a practicing.

 

Please note that these painting are not completed yet.

 

Enjoy!!!!

 

Thanks for following.

A Very Challenging project.

I have started!

 

I have received about 14 photos to work from and thank you

so much to everyone who has participated

in my little portrait challenge.

 

Small progress so far and I am trying really hard

to accept the challenge of

painting a portrait rapidly.
An acrylic 5" x 7" canvas board

 

Yikes!  What was I thinking.

 

It is definitely a challenge

A very good challenge.

I'll post as I go.

 

 

Enjoy!

Intense Portrait Study

I am so excited to be starting this new project.

I've been wanting to do this for a very long time and finally I have begun.

 

I'm on an art mission and I need your help.

 I am wishing to expand my portrait art technique and ability.

 What I would like to do is change my brush technique and quicken the amount of time it takes me to do a portrait and to loosen up my paint strokes so that I can do a nice likeness and get it done in a speedy fashion.

 

I have received nine photos so for to work from.

 

But I Need More!!!

 

I need about 10 more photos please.   Come on!

 

I know you want to.

 

 Stir up the dust and find those photos please.  I'm on an art mission and I need your help.

"A Wonderful Summer - 2013"

It's been another wonderful year at the

Sebastian River Art Club

in

Sebastian, Florida

 

Often times, in the summer, at the Sebastian River Art Club

Grandchildren get to come with their MeMaws and Na Na's and Paw Paw's.

 

There were three children in particular that ran and played the days away while myself and other

art club members painted their days away.  I couldn't help but notice the

individuality of each one of them.  Sparkly, color wise, and so smart with their playtime.

Yes, I just had to paint them.  They were so much fun to do and

all my paintings seem to lead to more commissioned work.

Thank you kids for the wonderful summer.

 

Enjoy!

Underpainting

Determining Values with under painting

 I paint with acrylic paint.  And the subject of under painting?

All my painting start with an under painting.  

I don't do it in the traditional way though.  Well I may not eve know for sure

what the traditional way is because I am not a trained painter.

I under paint all my painting in thin layers of colors

that I will be used in the same colors that will  complete the painting.

Not being an educated painter I'm guessing when I say that

under painting is used to determine if you have you paint value correct.

I never seemed to need to know if it was correct or not because

The Values in my paintings always seem to appear correctly for me anyway.

So hear you go.

  

"Leah's Daughter"

Just the beginning and will post as I do more. 

Enjoy!

"Richard's Grand Kids"

Beautiful Children

It took me quite a while to paint these beautiful little children.

Inspite of a family trauma, a month long trip to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains,

and a very nice month long trip to Tallahassee.

Now these wonderful delightful paintings are now in the hands of Richard.

The Grandfather and a very long time friend of 51 years.

Wow.

I'm the one to be bursting with pride.

This is a 10" x 10" acrylic gallery wrapped canvas.

Ilknur is a women that I found on facebook under "Artist"

She does such enchanting pieces of art herself that I decided

I wanted to have her as a friend on facebook just so I could keep up with her

wonderful artwork.

After receiving her acceptance, I saw that she had a really pleasant and inviting face.

A face that should be painted.

So here she is.

Ilknur is from the beautiful city of Izmir, Turkey.
I am now facebook friends with her best friend, her sister, another very good friend,
and a fellow artist who paints with her.

Thank You
