Kaleidoscope of Koi

Here is my finished piece "Kaleidoscope of Koi". The size is 13x20" and it is all colored pencil on Stonehenge paper with the help of the Icarus Drawing Board for getting rich, intense color. I also burnished with a bristle brush in order to get the solid areas with no pencil lines of paper showing through the drawing. I did not figure out how many hours it took to complete this piece but I

I Could Paint Red Shoes for a Year!

These photos are from day three of the workshop. The top photo is just the luscious red shoes in cadmium red with a little thalo green mixed in, the second photo I've added my grays and green shadows. I'm not quite sure about the green shadows so I'm going to go back to the studio and work with the colors. In the bottom photo I'm mixing up my color combinations, remember in the workshop we are

Koi Ripples

What a surprise, another koi painting! I just can't seem to stay away from them. I painted this while I was in Mexico. My friend that lives there was looking at my reference photos of the Koi and since she had never seen this type of fish before she said how beautiful they were and asked if they taste good. When I told her that people don't usually eat them and that they can be very expensive she looked at me like I was crazy.
This is a 48" x 48" acrylic painted on a cradled wood panel.

Day Two Complementary Color Paintings

We were asked to change our composition to something different from yesterday's. I like my composition better today. I decided to start with middle gray values and then add color. However, not being a painter, I added too much white right away. I will have a nice value study when the piece dries and I can work over it.Here is the class work for the two days, colorful and fabulous! Looking forward

Complementary Color Painting Workshop

This weekend I'm taking a three-day oil painting workshop at the Providence Art Club with Mimo Gordon Riley whose work and style I admire because she paints so beautifully with a limited palette. Our assignment for the workshop is to bring two complementary colors of oil paint plus white, one pair of shoes and three canvases. I am the only student in the class who chose the red/green combination,

Valentine Floral Bouquet, still life 14x18 Acrylic on Canvas

Side View

My Husband gave me cut flowers for Valentine's Day last month and told me that I should paint them. They were very beautiful but as time past, I procrastinated and many of the flowers wilted and had to throw them out. After weeding out the wilted ones, I cut down the rest of the arrangement a bit and placed them in water in a medium size milk pitcher. I have to say that I'm not very good at arranging a floral bouquet, but I don't think it mattered too much, I was simply going for a more natural look and not fussing about with them. The colors in this painting are bright and beautiful and the Gerber Daisy takes center stage amongst the carnations, staring you in the face, a fabulous focal point. Sure glad it lasted for as long as it did!

This painting will be on sale for the month of April, at the Hughes on Tenth Studio on 10th Street in the Kensington area. Hope you can drop by!

Portland Maine—March 22, 2012—Sunny 78°

March in Maine is usually cold, snowy, rainy, sleety and gray and this relentless dreary weather usually lasts through most of April. Spring is a long time coming to northern New England, but not this week. Warm, sunny, dry weather has decended upon us and though it is not normal and probably wreaking havoc with the balance of things, it is so lovely to see clear blue sky and feel the warmth of the sun.

A quick sketch of the coastline. Though the landscape is still mostly brown, some trees are starting to bud and the grass is just starting to turn green, well brownish green...
