A Larger Still Life

Antique Kitchen Utensil, 14" x 18", oil on stretched canvas

Back on to a larger surface in this work.  Working with only one object on a larger canvas poses the challenge of how to keep the whole space interesting and active.  I used a very limited palette here, mostly of Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Umber and Titanium White, with a bit of Alizarin Crimson, Cobalt Blue and Raw Sienna.  The beater is quite neat.  You press down on it and the whole thing compresses, causing the wire whisk to turn.  Very clever!

Birthday Card Painting

Birthday Card Boat, oil on canvas, 5x8
I painted this scene from a photograph for my brother's 60th birthday.  He loves his little Tanzer and he's a great sailor!

Winter Landscape!

Winter Landscape, oil on stretched canvas, 5"x 8"

I painted this from a photograph.  In this heat my mind is wandering to all things winter!  Not exactly what you would call being "in the moment!"
