Another Christmas Surprise

Oil on Canvas

11x14

This Christmas surprise was done from the photo above.

There are a few changes, as you can see. One is the negative

space between the couple. I chose to eliminate it to

avoid a possible distraction. I used a couple of different

photos so the expressions are a bit different too.

I have been painting portraits from life for several years.

Hopefully I've learned a little bit. :-)

If your interested in a commissioned portrait, please

Now that Christmas has passed and

presents have been opened...

time to show what I have been up to lately.

This is one of the paintings finished in time to

ship before the big day.

I'll try to post the other one soon.

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all!

Several commission pieces taking

a front row seat lately.

Will share after Christmas.

Keep the real meaning of Christmas

close to your heart.

"Therefore the Lord Himself shall

give you a sign;

Behold, a virgin shall conceive,

and bear a Son,

and shall call His Name Immanuel

Isaiah 7:14

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

Sold

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.

A last bit of drama for the summer.

Non reflective surfaces all around,
