Vintage rose

Vintage Rose
6"x12" original oil painting
gallery wrap linen

Sold

Another elongated painting that's dark and moody.
Considering the basket is vintage and this particular
rose bush is very old I set the lighting low to give an
overall vintage look.

Mood Lighting

Mood Lighting
6"x12" oil on linen
gallery wrap, no staples...framing optional

Sold

An elongated painting surface to accentuate
the horizontal movement of the hydrangeas
laying on the table. I liked the moody lighting
and almost monochromatic look of the mostly
green hydrangeas. Just a tinge of burgundy on
some and a little bit in the background for a
complement.

Waterloo 7 Gallery Opening Photos

We had lots of fun at

the opening last night.

The top photo is showing a portion of my paintings
in the show.

There were more, but you've seen some of them before.
Jerry, left, the gallery owner is with Jon Langford and Jerry's son
and new grandson. A very proud grandpa indeed! Jon, middle,
is in front of one of his paintings.

Towards the end of the evening
we were visited by a couple of bees and a rat.
Not a mouse, she assured me she was a rat.

We had a nice crowd throughout the evening.

Note some of the sculptures in the gallery.
Jerry is very talented following in his father's footsteps.
A second generation artist....we may be looking at the
third and fourth.

Mr Personality

Not much to say about this guy.
He speaks for himself.
I have a fondness for sheep of all kinds.
Haven't done one in a while. Animals have
such personality without saying a word.
Maybe people should take a cue from
some of the animals! :-)
They never seem to have a bad hair day either.

One lone Clematis decided to bloom.
A last bit of drama for the summer.

A very busy fall with back to sub teaching.
Hope to get a least one thing posted a week,
maybe more.

Non reflective surfaces all around,
so I concentrated on petal turns and
not overworking the basket weave.

Bowl In A Box

Bowl In A Box
6"x6" original oil painting,
gallery wrap linen,
framing optional

Sold


Yet another painting of my Mother's vintage bowl.
I have an old wooden Royal Baking Powder box
that has a lot of character. Not much of the box is
showing in this painting, but it did add to the lighting
effect. The glow is from the indirect light
reflecting on the bowl. The rich browns and oranges
are from the box.
Just happens to be the compliment of the blues.

dinning room window.

White is always a challenge.
A good look at the white reveals
more about the surrounding colors
than the white itself.

Similarly with glass and crystal, one paints all
the colors reflected in the glass and then the
highlights or sparkles.

Looking through the glass reveals a distorted
view of stems and a leaves.
