#207 The Yellow Truck

Click to buy! (6x6 in.)

I had a hard time getting a photo of this painting without the glare!  My daughter and I were driving home yesterday when I spotted this yellow truck in my neighborhood.  We pulled over and I took a quick photo.  Truth be told, I also took several pictures of a nearby mail truck and hope to paint it before long.  I don't know why, but I'm always inspired by mail trucks around town!  It was really fun painting the yellow parts of this truck.  I tried to keep the rest simple and without much detail.  I like landscapes like that.  I'm very inspired by Michael Chamberlain.  You should check out his art.  It was a challenge to draw.

#189 The Opal Experiment #190 Oklahoma Walk

Click to buy! (6x6 inch oil on gessobord)

I struggled with both of these paintings this weekend.  I wiped my first attempt with the opal apple yesterday afternoon and then tried it again last night.  I was hoping it would be a little looser but I ended up wiping off the green paint and going a little darker with that color and it took away the freshness of the edges and strokes.  I had never painted a golden apple.  It was hard to get the shadow side the right value and color.

I painted this scene from a photo I took a couple of years ago while I was walking on OU's campus.  I painted it for a friend.  I actually painted this exact scene back in 2015 when I was first learning to use acrylic paint.  Though it isn't where I want it to be, I can definitely see growth and that is encouraging!  Here is the original painting I did.

#180 Yellow Clock Tower

6x6 inch oil

Not sure how I feel about this one.  It's light years away from what I hope to one day be able to do.  How do you keep buildings loose?  That was hard. The photo reference was just so so and a little dark for painting.  But I took it while my husband and I were walking on the OU campus just a couple of weeks ago, so it is still somewhat fresh in my mind.  I was drawn to the beautiful yellow light shining through that narrow passage way.  I think it would be cool to come back to this photo in a couple of years and hopefully see all kinds of improvement.

Old Truck- Sold

I painted this truck from a photo that I took on a walk the other day.  It looked like a lot of fun to paint and I was also drawn to the light and shadows on the truck.  Thankfully my daughter took a 2 hour nap today and I was able to paint it from start to finish!  

I have so many things I want to paint right now.  Hope I have time to paint again tomorrow!
