Today I experimented with some abstract ideas. Abstracts are a challenge for me. I never know when it's finished. So, I'm not selling this one yet. I have to see how I feel about it in the next few days.

“Fugi Trio”
6″ x 6″ x 7/8″, Oil on stretched canvas

I always experience a variety of emotions when I am painting. From “Wow, this is looking really good!” to “Why did I do that?” to “I can’t paint this subject.” and then finally “I did it and it looks pretty good!”

I do really have a hard time painting apples. I think I’ll try a different variety sometime. Fugi apples are kind of round and lopsided and don’t really look like a “typical” apple.

a class project

Today I worked on a painting for a class I am taking that I hope to be teaching in the future. In this beginning class students will learn about the primary colors and how to lighten and darken them; eye level; shines on different surfaces; reflected light; reflected color and much more!

Tomorrow it's back to still lifes! I'm not sure what I will be painting...hmmm...better take a look around the house...

sorry, no art so far this week

My grandfather passed away on Saturday and I've been having a hard time concentrating and getting into the painting mode.
