Watercolor work in progress...

 

Here's a few work in progress shots using the masking fluid. 

 

I use Sennelier watercolors
on the advice of a professor.  LOVE them!

 

After removing the masking.

 

Finished...or pretty much finished painting.  Below is a photo of the setup.  This table ends up in a lot of my still life paintings.  It was my grandmothers and I loving using it in paintings.

Painting studies...

I know I don't talk about my process enough, but will try to do more of that.  Painting studies really help me as an artist to decide if I want to do a larger painting.  I know the old masters did them...and most of their "studies" look like my masterpieces!  LOL!  However, they are so important for working out both design and color issues. 

This little study goes up for sale on ebay after 11/8/2012.  Just click on the link at the above right for the auction. 





East coast....

I'm still blown away at the devastation on the east coast.  I've done several paintings of the water at Long Beach and Robert Moses Beach.  We have many photos of us at Cape May and the other Jersey shores.  My heart and prayers go out to everyone there.  I've actually got a family who has come to several of my painting classes that was impacted.  They're on their way up to help out some relatives.  They've no idea what they'll find.

Where has the year gone???

We were talking this week and it will only be a few weeks before we head to Florida for the winter!  What!!!???  Where has the time gone???  Though I am down to the last of my beach paintings from earlier this year.  Can't wait to do more.

Watercolor from a photo.....

Many of you may not know, but I started out using watercolors.  My first art "lesson" at my church was a watercolor class.  I think I was only in Jr High at the time.  I saved my money and bought a real watercolor set, the tubes, not the pans.  I hadn't worked in this medium in years, but I really do enjoy it.  I just completed this one last week.



My guy is such a trooper...

Here's a work in progress of my guy's big strong back.  I'm working on more figure paintings this year.  I swear if you can draw the human anatomy, you can draw anything!!!!

Hello Autumn!!!

I love this time of year, except for the fact that I'm usually crazy busy!  (Secretly, I love that as well!!)  Anyway, just last night I hung this and another painting at the Cincinnati Art Club, which I am a member.  They have an artist of the month program where they allow us to showcase our work at the entry way of the building.  Right now I've also got paintings at the von Liebig and the Golden Ticket Show at the Clifton Cultural Arts Center.
