A painting for year's end...



Here's a couple of photos of a 16 by 20 inch oil painting on wood I've been working on, on the easel and ready to frame, based on foliage of a backyard tree. As a lighting experiment, the colors look darker to me in the image taken under ceiling fluorescent bulbs, and greener in the photo taken closer to the window.
As usual, I've re-sized the image and adjusted the quality for uploading.

Two tiny paintings for Robyn...



Here's photos of two tiny oil paintings I made of my friend Robyn's cat, Dorian Gray. The one showing the whole body is 5x7 inches, the one of just the face is 4x4, so it was difficult for me to get a picture in focus with my old camera, and, as usual, the image quality and size have been reduced for uploading purposes.

A painting by me for winter, 12x24...


Here's a photo of an oil painting I've been working on and am getting ready to frame. It's inspired by winter woods near my sister's house. The canvas is 2 feet long and 1 foot high (24 x 12 inches), drying on the easel (pardon the door and other items in the background). As usual, the image quality and size have been reduced for uploading purposes.

Painting of autumn woods, on wood, 16x20


Here's a photo of a 16 by 20 oil painting on wood that I'm pretty much finished working on, inspired by autumn woods near my sister's house.
I took this photo of it while it's still on the easel, unframed (the background stuff behind the panel is just stuff in the room), on a cloudy day: the fluorescent light on the ceiling may be washing out some of the more subtle colors. As usual, I've re-sized the image and adjusted the quality for uploading.

A painting of Naomi's Cocoa...


Here's a photo of an 11 by 14 oil portrait I finished of Naomi's dog named Cocoa; Naomi knows my sister from the work they do rescuing animals at the shelter.
I took this photo of it while it's still on the easel, unframed (the background stuff behind the canvas is just stuff in the room). As usual, I've re-sized the image and adjusted the quality for uploading.

A second 8 by 10 oil painting...

Here's another small 8 by 10 oil painting I finished that shows a metal horse, a ceramic monkey figurine, three small vases (one with metal flowers), along with miscellaneous background items. It kind of goes with a second still life, which I just posted.
This photo was taken on an easel while the painting is unframed, so cardboard is visible in the background.
As usual, the image quality and size have been reduced for uploading purposes.

A small 8 by 10 oil painting...

Here's a small 8 by 10 oil painting I finished that shows a brass horse, a small cream pitcher, and a tiny souvenir kettle, along with miscellaneous background items. It kind of goes with a second still life, which I'll post next.
This photo was taken on an easel while the painting is unframed, so a door and cardboard are visible in the background.
