An Orange kind of Week!

"Shadow"

36 x 36

"Three Times The Shade"

36 x 18

Don't you just love the background color on these two paintings! It is actually called Gold Oxide, but I would call it a Burnt Orange. I was stuck on purple for a while and now I'm really diggin' this lovely orange. Hummmm.......purple & orange.........wonder why I love those colors so much?

Another one finished!

"View From the 8th Green"

30x24

$720

I managed to get a lot of work in yesterday and finished up another one! The photo I used for this piece was taken at Yeamans Hall in Charleston, SC during a visit back in the Spring. About 98% of this one was painted using only my fingers! I LOVE these two colors together - purple & green!

Just off the easel....finally!

"Crest"

30 x 30

$900

It has been a couple of weeks since I have blogged, and that's because I have had nothing new to show you! Finally I was able to get in the studio and finish this one, "Crest". I experimented with "drips" on this one by wetting the paint and just letting it run in places. Created a really cool effect I think! There was also a lot of finger painting in this one. I have decided the finger is actually a great painting tool!
