6*6 Oil on Board

I think I need some better editing software for these paintings,

I usually colour correct them, then post them. For some

reason this one turns to the brown more than the red.

Painting small items can get a bit finicky

as you want to put down detail,

not too much, just enough to be interesting to look at.

Oil on board 6*6

With this painting I wanted to see how light I could go
and still have dark and light,
warm and cool, it was a bit tough.

Valentines Candy

Oil on Gesso Board 6*6

Well I have been meaning to paint this for a long time,

you can see all my brush marks on this one I think the sun hit it

sideways when I was taking the picture.

11*14 oil on board

I painted this last summer, I had painted a 8*10 then

I painted this one from it.

The grass was originally green but I changed it

to warm it up and compliment

the red barn.

8*10 Oil on Board

I just wanted to experiment a little with this one I had been to a painter,

who loves colour and I thought that I would give it a go.

Painting Glass I realize now is pretty tough.

What colour is the glass, I had to just squint and trust what I saw.

Daily Painters Challenge

I'm back,
New year, New stuff.
This was a challenge as I am really rusty, so it was hard to get a little square done in ten minuets. I did go over 1 min or 30 seconds, but by the last painting, I was able to finish it under 10 Min's yahoo.
