Painted for this week's Daily Paintworks Challenge to paint mostly grays. I added in some gold and painted on a reflective surface for the first time. I really enjoyed that part of the painting. I also think it added that little something extra that the painting needed.

#279 Holiday Lights

Click to buy! (8x8 inch oil)

This time I added Christmas lights to the composition. I painted this one awhile back and intended to paint more lights but haven't gotten around to it yet. You can check out the value plan below. I didn't follow it exactly, but it was still super helpful!

#278 Mingle and Jingle

Click to buy! (12x12 inch oil)

This painting was third in my series of Christmas ornaments. I painted this one a little larger and on canvas. I've really enjoyed painting on canvas lately. The hardest part was the drawing of the glass bottle. When I wrestle so much with a drawing it reminds me how much I need to work on my drawing skills! I tried to keep the ornaments simple, again.

#276 Merry & #277 Bright

SOLD 6x6 inch oil on gessobord

I can't believe it has been three weeks since I updated my blog! I painted this on November 2 and it sold through Instagram. It was my first attempt at painting Christmas Ornaments this year. Lately, I've been doing a gray-scale value plan before most of my paintings. I included the one for this painting below.

My second Christmas ornament painting. I sold this one through Instagram as well. I tried to keep the ornaments very simple in both of these paintings.
