Small Paintings

 

Pears, Oil 5"x 7". This is a small painting done in my studio of three pears, that were in need of painting. The painting was fast and loose I try not to blend or go over brush strokes, keeps it fresh.

SOLD

 

Donkey, Oil 6"x 6". This is from a photo I found and edited. Always keeping loose, also added a few other colors to make this pop.

Very small Paintings

 

This is a 3"x  5" Oil, I set up a still live in my studio for a few painters that come by each week to paint and this is what I came up with this week. I  picked up a few very small canvas panels and am having fun painting on them. When they are so small making a commitment to paint something is no big deal cause if it doesn't work out ...just repaint. SOLD

 

Egg Plant, Oil 4"x 2"

 

Happy Dogs, Oils 2"x 4"

The 50/50 show ends September 30 2012, the shows closing show (scs) is from 1 to 5 on that day. It was fun painting the below fifty small painting.I did really well with the show. Since I have this blog I am going to post my other daily work here. Hopefully I will try next year with a new theme for the fifth annual 50/50 show.

Below is Lunch Dog, an oil I painted from a photo I took from my cell phone. While hanging out with my son, who goes to Cal Poly, and having lunch down in San Lusio Obispo, this dog came up to us, what a cool looking dog....I couldn't help but take a picture and do a painting.

Two going in Two going out

50 Paintings in 50 Days

50 Painting in 50 Days by 70 artist, there are 49 paintings here all oil and all on 6x6 panels. The 50th painting will be framed and hung on the side along with a bio and other information. I still need to edit and arrange these. I have done a few in addition to these so I can move things around.

This was a lot of fun. Show goes up on August 18th, opening is August 24th and a closing show on Sept 30.

Sailing on the Bay, oil 6x6. This is from a photo that my friend Carmencita gave me, she took it from her sailboat. which they take out on the bay each week. I need to find out her name...the boat I mean.

Two Friends, oil 6x6. This is one that I did to replace the one palm tree done eariler that just really bugged me. I like this better. I replaced it earlier but it is not in the photo with all the paintings above.

New Mexico Sky

New Mexico Sky, oil 6x6. My friend Lynnae posted a photo of her New Mexico Sky, she lives in such a great place. I edited the photo and came up with my view. I think she took this when Colorado was on fire a month or so ago. Very limited pallet and very loose strokes.

Almost There

The West, oil 6x6. I have been to this area many times and this is what I remember seeing.

Three Cows, Two Trees and a Cloud, oil 6x6. This is something I have painted before and see a lot when driving on highway 1. Those cows that only look like shapes, those trees that are shapes and blocks of color. How come those cows don't fall off the mountain......

 

SOLD

San Lusio Obispo, oil 6x6. This is a very high peak in San Lusio Obispo called Bishof Peak, looks like a cartoon.
