I've posted three paintings this morning to show what

I've been up to lately. Need to get some photos of the

plein airs I did a couple weeks ago. Perhaps tomorrow!

It's been pointed out to me by fellow artist
Rob Ibjema that my last post said I was
still working on my taxes! Agh! Guess it's
been awhile since I've posted. So here's some-
thing I've been experimenting with, painting
on MDF board primed with Amber Bull's Eye
Shellac. I took a bunch of boards with me plein
air painting this past week and really like the
surface and love how the paint handles and
shows against the warm, middle value. I need
a few more soft bristle brushes to get the edges
I want. Anyway, it's fun to experiment with
new materials!

Cottontail

8 1/2" x 11" graphite on paper

$10 plus $2 shipping

No time to paint, still doing my taxes, but have this drawing to show. The dark on his right ear (our left) isn't as dark as it shows here. Just couldn't stay away from art completely in order to take care of the business side.

Today's effort in avoiding finishing my taxes.

Another set up from my Monday class, courtesy of Jan. We are studying color temperature and this set up was a great exercise in different temperatures of red. I always demo at the beginning of class and then finish the painting throughout the day. I must say they make me stretch myself each time! But it's so much fun!

Pearl Necklace

5x8 oil on linen mounted on gatorboard
$50 unframed plus shipping

New and improved i.e. sharper image from the one I posted yesterday. This is one of the setups from my Monday class. Each week one student is in charge of bringing something for a still life. This way we get a great variety of things to paint. It's always interesting! Part of the lesson is learning to set things up. Thanks Laura and Dallas for this one!

Prairie Dog

9x12 oil on linen

One of my favorite little critters to paint, though I dislike what they do to a pasture. I've heard of people who have had them as pets in the east. Those of us who have lived out here all our lives just don't understand that. But no matter what your political view of them, they are cute.
