Apple Line-up Oil Painting Still Life Fruit Art Apple Kitchen

Oil on stretched canvas, 8" x 16"

The apples seem to take on their own unique characters when posed this way and viewed from slightly below.  They can be looked at as actors on a stage or groups involved in conversations if I use my imagination.  I had initially planned to keep the work looser and casual, but paintings sometimes seem to take on their own energy and purpose as many artists have found.  I am satisfied with the apples' finished "characters" in this piece.  That's always a good feeling.

Lovely Whippet Oil Painting Dog Art Pet Animal Portrait

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

Whippets are graceful looking dogs, of course, but I also really enjoy their patterns of coloring.  The subtle change of color dividing this one's face is so appealing.  The dog is mostly a wonderful creamy-white tone which contrasts with its large dark eyes and nose.  Whippets are also very expressive creatures with just a tilt of their heads or a downturn of their muzzles.

Tulips Waving Watercolor Painting Flower Art Still Life Garden

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

I experimented with a different approach to a watercolor in this floral painting.  The canvas I used has a special sizing that accept watercolors and the finished painting is sealed with a clear acrylic protectant which is archival.  The surface of the canvas accepts the paint differently than paper.  I think I like the way it stays more on the surface of the painting and it's also much easier to "lift" the paint back to a lighter shade or even back to white.  I really appreciate the fluidity of watercolors, and in this painting, I had a great time shaping the tulips and leaves with a feeling of energy and movement.

Thanks for visiting and your comments are welcome!
