Red Hot Geraniums

New 12x12 oil on wood cradle board

My garden is a great source of inspiration. I love planting geraniums in this clay pot just for the color alone. The great shadows are an added bonus. Painting on a hard service with the palette knife is a great way to build up color and texture. Painted with a joy in my heart.

Poppies in the Sunrise

10x20 oil on canvas

This painting was inspired from a garden on a very busy road. When I saw the bright red poppies, I turned around. This garden also had roses, peonies and small yellow flowers. Add all that and the rising sun was a painting in the makings. Using the palette knife and carving this scene out was a fun exercise.

I created this as a demo for the Lake Granbury Art Association. I used my plein air sketch, a preliminary drawing and photo to create this. I discussed plein air painting and the use of the palette knife. I changed the format from landscape to portrait. It was a fun night with a great group of artist.

Painted Meadow

8x10 oil on linen panel

I have plans to do a painting demo at the Lake Granbury Art Association on Monday, May 10th. I will be demonstrating my palette knife process and talking about plein air painting. There is also a workshop coming up on Saturday, May 15th 9-4. Let me know if you would be interested in either and I can provide more info.

The indian paint brush and queen annes lace were a sight I found at Hunter's Park on Lake Granbury. I was so excited to find this combo I returned the next day with paints in hand. This was a quick study and will provide my inspiration for the demo.

A Path to the River

11x14 oil on linen canvas

When I prepared for my demo at Pecan Plantation Art Guild I went out to the location and did several small studies. I wanted options on what I painted for the group. This is the first I considered. Here you can see the photo and small study I worked from. I loved that the blue bonnets were blooming and scattered about the landscape. I tried to simplify the design, but decided it was too much for a demo.

From the Garden

Taking the time to plant a garden and reap the benefits are one of my pleasures in life. This is from a photo I took last year when my sunflowers and larkspurs were blooming. I loved the birds eye view of the blue vase against the round stool it was setting on.

Jim

10 x8 oil on canvas panel

This is a 2 hour painting I did at our drawing group. We meet up at the Shanley House with Lake Granbury Art Association once a week. Models normally sit for 20 minute sessions, 10 minute breaks for 3 hours. This was Jim's first time to model for us. He stated it was very relaxing and a good experience. We are always looking for volunteers!
