#292 Freshly Squeezed

Click to buy! (10x10 inch oil)

It was my husband's idea to paint a glass of orange juice.  I had a totally different composition in my mind initially that was going to have a white background, but it wasn't working out too well.  So I changed it up and went darker.  I still hope to do another orange juice painting in a higher key soon.  I tried the reflective surface again, too.  The background is a little more blue than this photo shows.  You can tell that better in the second picture.  

quick value study I did for the painting

#290 One Orange up on Top

Click to buy!  (8x8 inch oil)

While we were out of town visiting family a few days for Christmas, the idea for this painting came to mind.  Finally got the chance to paint it once I got home.  I'm also submitting it for this week's DPW challenge because I love to paint shiny glass.  Finished another orange painting this evening, but I'm not sure how I feel about that one yet!  :)

#287 Where the Cantaloupe Roam

Click to buy! (8x8 inch oil)

This one was named by my husband :)  I love painting these little gold ornaments and all of their reflections.  I turned them so that they don't necessarily look like ornaments, but just little gold balls.  I borrowed the tea pot from a friend.  Thanks, Alicia!

#286 Oranges on Pink

Click to buy! (8x10 inch oil)

I can't believe I still haven't posted the three paintings I did at the Sarah Sedwick workshop I took in October.  I learned so much while I was there.  It also helped me experiment more with painting on canvas and I've been enjoying that a lot.  She is a fantastic teacher.  I'm so thankful that she teaches in OKC somewhat regularly (will be back in 2018)!  I highly recommend taking a workshop from her if you have the chance.  

Here is a picture of it framed with a frame built by my husband.  Isn't he talented?

#284 The Colorful Challenge

Click to buy!  (10x8 inch oil)

I've been wanting to paint cantaloupe for awhile and this challenge on Daily Paintworks seemed like a great opportunity!  I always enjoy painting cranberries and cherries.  I also enjoyed painting the pink glass bottle.  It was my first time to paint it.  The transparency of the pink was little challenging.  Wish it was looser and not completely sure about the composition.

#281 Autumn Mug

SOLD 8x8 inch oil 

Painting mugs is always a challenge for me.  I'm really happy with how this one turned out though.  I'm having so much fun painting warm, rich colors lately.  This one sold at Holiday on the Farm last Saturday.

#280 Brightly Shining

Click to buy! (8x10 inch oil)

For this painting, I didn't use a light.  I only used the candlelight and the ambient lighting in the room.  It was a fun challenge.  Especially capturing the candle as it burned down!

#276 Persimmons on White

SOLD (6x6 inch oil)

This somewhat simple painting just makes me happy and was a lot of fun to paint.  I included a view of it from the side below because I painted on a deeper canvas than usual.

#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.

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!

#262 Sunflowers in Orange Bottle

Click to buy! (6x6 inch oil)

I've been painting a lot of sunflowers the last couple of months.  I just like them so much.  Painting the orange bottle was challenging...especially the lightest bits of orange.  I like the pop of orange and pink in the shadow.

Once again I am way behind on posting!  I painted this almost 2 weeks ago when I didn't have much time and wanted to keep it simple.  These are little oranges are small and kind of flat on top, but can't remember the name of them.

#256 Oranges and Sunflower on Blue

Click to buy! (8x8 inch oil)

I had a lot of fun painting this one!  I used a Senso linen panel and loved the feel of applying paint to it!  I'm working on getting more accurate photos of my paintings.  This one still feels too cool.  The colors are warmer in the painting.

#250 Sunflowers in Pitcher

8x8 inch oil

This one was a struggle from start to finish.  I wiped off the pitcher once.  Then I started painting things out of order (for me) and started having problems with the edges.  I decided to experiment with softer edges in most of the painting.
