Orchard Peach Halves Study Oil Painting Fruit Still Life

"Orchard Peach Halves Study"


Oil on canvas board, 6" x 8".

I had so many peaches that I just had to paint them! My neighbor and her children pick peaches every summer at a local orchard here in Arkansas and she had a wonderful gift bag for me. I decided I'd like to do a large painting of them after doing some smaller studies. This study is my first, but looking back, I think I may have added too many colors to the shadows. I still love the "peachiness" of their unique shapes and colors.

Bigfoot Cat Oil Painting Pet Art Animals

"Bigfoot"


Oil on canvas, 8" x 10".

Cats and vague or mysterious backgrounds just seem right together. This guy has some really large white paws and he usually extends them as a half-hearted attempt to ward off his admirers' loving but restricting embraces. All of the proud and independent felines out there understand this very well! The painting is on staple-free canvas and can be hung unframed if desired.

African Violets Oil Painting Botanical Flower Still-Life

"African Violets"


Oil on stretched canvas, 8" x 6" x 3/4".

My African violets were in full bloom and reaching for the sunlight in this painting. These plants have wavy leaves that glow with warm reddish shades when lit by the sun. Their violet flowers with little yellow centers compliment the leaves well I think. I intended to keep this piece more painterly and concentrated on the shapes and values.
The 3/4" sides are painted a dark brown making framing optional.

Deep Red Beauty Oil Painting Rose Flowers Floral Art

"Deep Red Beauty"


Oil on gallery-wrapped canvas, 8" x 6" x 3/4".

This is a portrait of a long-stemmed rose that I painted for Valentine's Day. I loved painting the shapes of the deep red petals in the sunlight and the mixtures of soft greens which I devoloped in the background.
The painting is on gallery-wrap canvas and is ready to hang with or without a frame.

Oranges Naturally Oil Painting Citrus Fruit Tree Plants

"Oranges, Naturally"


Oil on canvas, 10" x 8" x 3/4".

Oranges on the tree with sunlight bouncing among the leaves and making the oranges glow at the same time - it's a favorite image of mine, even though I don't live far enough south to have them growing in my yard. For many years I received a large box of these Texas oranges in time for Christmas from my relatives who lived near Brownsville. The canvas has a painted, staple-free edge and can be hung unframed if desired.

Lazy Summer Oil Painting Cow Farm Animals Art

"Lazy Summer"


Oil on stretched canvas, 8" x 10" x 3/4".

I had stopped by a pasture to take photos of some beautiful cows and one of the brown cows started to get up when she saw me. They were resting among some tall shade trees and looked very contented with themselves and their world.
This painting is on a canvas that is stapled in the back and the sides are painting making it ready to hang unframed if desired.

Wanderlust Watercolor Painting Pug Dog Pet Art

"Wanderlust"


Watercolor on paper, 12" x 10".

I like the look of strong sunlight washing out objects in its path as it floods a room. This was the case when I saw my pug, Mabel, stretching up as far as she could to peer through a window. The dreamy quality of this type of watercolor is attractive to me. I had started this painting almost a year ago and left it after I got "stuck" on a problem. I came across it the other day and decided to finish it the way I had envisioned it the first time.

Portrait Study of Brooke Oil Painting Blonde Young Woman Figure

"Portrait Study of Brooke"


Oil on canvas board, 12" x 9".

I painted this portrait from a live model in my portrait painting class. It was exciting to work on getting the basics of her form and features (shapes!) down as quickly as possible and to see the values and patterns of light. Then I finished the painting later, working on problem areas and making her more pleasing to the eye. I was happy with the result.

Impatiens and Kitty Watercolor Painting Pet Cat Art Flowers Kitten

"Impatiens and Kitty"


Watercolor and guache on Ampersand Aquaboard, 5" x 7".

I had sketched our kitten, Chloe, enjoying the planter containing my pink and purple Impatiens. Later, I painted this with watercolor and guache on an Ampersand Aquaboard sample that I had received. It took a while to get adjusted to working with watercolor on this surface, but eventually I built it up with enough layers of paint and I liked the result. It is finished with a clear acrylic coating, so it can be framed without glass.

Distracted Cavalier Spaniel Watercolor Dog Pet Art King Charles

"Distracted"


Watercolor on Arches paper, 12.5" x 10.25" .

I have painted this King Charles Spaniel many times. In this one, he was lying in the grass with a chew bone and looking away intently while a breeze fanned out some of his hair. He may try to appear very serious at times, but that puppy-dog look is still there.

Young Woolly Cow Oil Painting Farm Animal Art

"Young Woolly Cow"


Oil on stretched canvas, 12" x 12" x 3/4".

This was a commissioned painting of one of my cow paintings. I took photos of some curious cows with interesting white markings. They still had their thick winter coats and the bright sunlight made highlights on their "furry" bodies. I have to admit it - I love painting cows.

Abbey Pencil Drawing Silky Terrier Graphite Pet Portrait Dog Art

"Abbey"


Pencil on paper, 14.5" x 10.5".

This graphite portrait of a Silky Terrier is one of my favorites. Her face is bathed in sunlight as those dark eyes are peering through the long, silver hair of her forhead. Abbey was often seen sitting this way in her favorite chair, a Bentwood rocker, and looking out of the window. This drawing was included in 2004 in the annual competition, Art Show at the Dog Show, in Wichita, Kansas.

I've been busy working on a commissioned cow painting and looking forward to finishing it and showing my client the result. I will also be putting the finishing touches on a portrait painting done from a live model that I plan to show here on my blog. There has been a lot of quality painting time for me lately!

Magnolia Still Life Oil Painting Southern Flower Trees

"Magnolia Still Life"


Oil on stretched back-stapled canvas 12" x 9" x 3/4". Sides are painted

I snipped a Magnolia bloom with some leaves and brought it inside for a still life. It faded very quickly so I worked from photos. I had planned to keep the painting looser, but this is what resulted. I found myself working on the shadows and details. Maybe it's really because I'm a little too compulsive and can't stop myself from working on refining things. This painting seemed to have a flow so I will probably do more from my photos. Wow, the ease of adding another layer of color mixture to an oil painting is an exciting thing indeed!

Gentle Burro Oil Painting Donkey Horse Pet Animal Art

"Gentle Burro"


Oil on stretched canvas, 10" x 8" x 3/4".

I love to pet these small burros with their fuzzy heads and ears! I applied a lot of paint in forming this serene image of a burro and I really like the result. The burro has a reflective and tender look at the same time and this view from above includes her stripe. Donkeys are some of my favorite animals to paint and I've used a similar burro image before in a smaller format. This painting is on a canvas that is stapled in the back and the sides are painting making it ready to hang unframed if desired.

Tank Jack Russell Terrier Oil Painting Pet Dog Art

"Tank"


Oil on stretched canvas, 12" x 9" x 3/4".

Tank is a rough coated Jack Russell and so has more hair to paint! He looks so docile and innocent in this painting, but he turns off the anwering machine and has opened a door to the outside during a wicked hailstorm. These are just a few of his accomplishments so his mom and dad never have a dull moment I would think. When he has the time, he likes to rest in this stretched out position.

Orange Gerbera Daisies Watercolor Painting Flowers Botanical Still Life

"Bright Daisies"


Watercolor on Arches paper, 8" x 6".

The complimentary orange and blue colors in this one brings some excitement to the eye, and I enjoyed the shapes of the Gerbera daisies from this vantage point. They are reaching up and out toward the sun and sky. I think they are glorious summer flowers. It's a break for the spirit to paint a colorful, free and easy, no fuss, no rules painting now and then.

Hobbes Jack Russell Terrier Oil Painting Dog Pet Art Animals

"Hobbes"


Oil on stretched canvas, 8" x 10" x 3/4".

Hobbes is loved by the family of the last Jack Russell that I posted. Imagine living with two Jack Russells! Painting Hobbes was a little more challenging when I was dealing with the intermingling of the different hair colors along with his white hair strands. This coloring and pattern helps give him his distinctive look.

Garden Wall Oil Plein Air Painting Landscape

"Garden Wall"


Oil on stretched canvas, 8" x 10" x 3/4".

This was a painting of the flower gardens at the Reynolds Cancer Support House in Fort Smith that I did with our plein air group. The terraced rock walls were pleasing with trees above casting shadows on the walking path, shrubs and flowers. I did work a little more on it back in the studio and then I was really pleased with it. It conveys the feeling of light and shadows that impressed me.
The 3/4" sides are painted making framing optional.

Walking Path Plein Air Landscape Oil Painting Carol Ann Cross Park

"Walking Path"


Oil on canvas board, 6" x 8.

This landscape was one of two that I painted one day last week with a plein air group as I am getting back to doing these outdoor painting adventures again. Of course, the rules include painting quickly and fearlessly. Our leader, artist Patricia Lappin, expects us to measure up, so we try out best. I did work on this painting just a little more at home and made the sky and water less busy.

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend!

Fawn Pug Pencil Drawing Graphite Pet Art Portrait

"To the Point"


Pencil on archival paper, 14" x 11".

I drew this pencil portrait of a pug prior to painting her in watercolor. The wide stripe down her back gets narrow as it goes down her tail and almost disappears. Then it reappears in full view at the tip of her tail.

I had a great workout painting with a plein aire group yesterday and I'm planning to post at least one painting next week from my attempts and some photos of us hard at work.

Have a great holiday weekend!

Cat inTube Oil Painting Animal Pet Portrait Art

"Stuffy"


Oil on stretched canvas, 10" x 8" x 3/4".

Stuffy was found as a stray and had many physical abnormalities which included very short legs and an enormous tongue that hung out all of the time. The kids' tube was a favorite place for her. Stuffy was described by her owners as adorable. She lived to be about 20 years old and was loved very much, of course!

Silky Terrier Oil Painting Commissioned Pet Art Portrait

"Tobey"


Oil on stretched canvas, 14" x 11" x 3/4".

This is a commissioned painting of Tobey, a beautiful silver/fawn-haired Silky Terrier, from Australia. He had those lovely bright eyes with bangs framing his face like the typical Silky. Silky Terriers originated from Australia as a cross between the Yorky Terrier and the Australian Terrier. Their ears are clipped inside and out to keep this look (their ears are so soft). I had one of these little sprites years ago - in case you didn't already assume that! Tobey's mom said he was camera-shy. Mine was a show-off. I wish I had taken more (and better) photos of her though.

White Peony Oil Painting Flowers Botanical Art

"Mother's Peonies"


Oil on stretched canvas, 8" x 6" x 3/4".

Our Daily Painters' theme for May is Mothers and I painted my white peonies as a celebration of Mother's Day because my mother loved them as much as I do. I took several photos of them in full and partial bloom right before the heavy rains came (again) and lowered their heads. I think the buds are gorgeous with their crimson red and light green shades tightly holding in the white and pink pink-tinged petals.
The 3/4" sides are painted making framing optional.

Forest Passage Watercolor Tree Landscape Woods Interpretations

"Forest Passage"


Watercolor on paper, 11.5" x 8.5".

This is my painting for "out of the box" day on Daily Painters. It's an interpretation of my idea of a welcoming forest path in glowing sunlight. This is something I see as a visualization image for meditating or relaxing before a day of painting or to unwind after a crazy schedule. It is painted in a loose, impressionist way that is a little different for me. I enjoyed playing with the wet into wet washes and pulling lights from the almost dry watercolor paper.

Cockapoo Watercolor Dog Pet Art Poodle Portrait Spoodle Cockerpoo

"Muff"


Watercolor on Bristol paper, 9" x 8.5".

This painting is a watercolor on bristol board which is a 4-ply paper. The bristol has a smooth surface and reacts differently to the paint and water than traditional watercolor paper. It is challenging yet rewarding to get the details and textures to form the way I want them to. Burt Silverman uses bristol board for watercolor and describes his process in his book, "Breaking the Rules of Watercolor". He explains how you can rework the painting on the bristol board. I've painted several watercolors on this surface but I still love to work on my old tried-and-true watercolor papers also.
