#275 Persimmons and Green

Click to buy! (8x8 inch oil)

I bought these persimmons at Sprouts over the weekend.  I think I was a little overly ambitious with the composition...especially since I started and finished the painting late at night!  It was tricky getting the values dark enough on the bowl and on the persimmons.  Took a few attempts.

#274 Strawberries and a Bowl

Click to buy! (10x10 inch oil)

Painting was really hard last week.  I was in a funk.  Started multiple paintings, but didn't like most of them.  This was the first one I actually enjoyed the process.  An encouraging artist friend, Gina Brown, reminded me that frustration is part of the process and helps us grow.  So true.

Painted this last night, starting around 9pm.  Too late really to start a painting, but I had been working on a commission earlier in the day and wanted to do something a little more free.

It was really hard painting on gessobord after a couple of weeks working on linen and canvas.  I forgot how slippery it can feel!  Found this mug at Target...another item in one of my favorite colors.

I started this painting last week and finally finished it yesterday.  Not that I'm complaining!  I took a break from it while I attended Sarah Sedwick's workshop in OKC!  Three days of learning and painting.  I'll include pictures in my next post!

Not for Sale (6x6 inch oil)

This painting was my second attempt at painting jalapeños.  My first painting was a different composition and I overworked it.  I'm much happier with this one.  :)

Here are a couple of process shots...
