Joy Ride-Surfer

I'm trying a different support for this one. It's 5x7 Artboard...gessoed 1/8"tempered hardboard panel. I used to paint on masonite about 6 yrs ago and I re found the joy of painting on a smooth surface. Still using my fav medium... oils.

Twice Tagged

I've been tagged twice! By Jennifer Bellinger and Barbara Pask.
When you've been tagged your supposed to mention who tagged you, then tell 7 things about yourself...I already feel like I'm tattling on my best friend, Lol... gotta remember to keep it clean and wholesome.
Then you're supposed to tag 7 other defenseless souls.
Let's see if I can come up with some printable things about me.....hmmm...
1. I come from a family of 10 siblings...7 brothers & 3 sisters.
2. I've been retired from a day job for a year but still have a heck of a time producing any more paintings than I did before.
3. Two of my favorite things is the smell of fried bacon and fresh coffee in the morning!!
4. One of my favorite movies is "Jaws".
5. I have been married twice. The 1st time is best forgotten. The second time I learned how to love for real. Her name was Kay. She passed away Easter 2004. The good ones always get away...but I'll catch up.
6. I have two li'l toy poodles....or maybe they have me.??.
7. I won the 'Draw Me ' contest many moons ago...I learned more from it than I did at art college. Let's just say that at that time the colleges weren't pushing realism art.
Now for me to tag some folks. These are all very worthy artists. Check 'em out.

Since tomorrow is the big day, here's a past painting in honor of Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Back Light Buddha

Oil on 7x5 archival canvas panel.

This is my latest submission to Karin Jurick's Different Strokes From Different Folks. It's a fun challenge...she puts up a different photo each Wed. night. Artists from all over submit their renditions of it. The variety and creativity is both amazing and instructive.

This one is all about shapes, values, and chroma. All of these elements came together like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle to wind up as a painting. Great fun when it works!

Yellow Labs

Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel.
This is often how yellow labs appear to me...very little yellow with a lot of almost white. Could be due to the age of the dog or the sun washing out the yellows.
Trying to keep it painterly.

This was Benjamin Franklin's pick for the national bird . And I'm really, really, glad his choice lost out!! Well, just think about it....We might have been putting Bald Eagles in our ovens on Nov. 27th! Ummm...No thanks....just pass the mashed potatoes, please.

Prov 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the forward mouth, do I hate.

Arch Of Cabo San Lukas, Mexico

Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel.
What a breath taking creation this formation is! This was painted for the WDE on Wet Canvas. Julie graciously supplied the photos.
I dramatized the light & composition in this painting. This is what separates a painting from a photo, in my opinion. Highly enjoyable when it works!

Prov 6:3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.

City Stroll

Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel.

This is my latest submission to Karin Jurick's Different Strokes From Different Folks. It's a fun challenge...she puts up a different photo each Wed. night. Artists from all over submit their renditions of it. The variety and creativity is both amazing and instructive.
She added a new twist with this one...To paint the image upside down. Keep the image/photograph inverted from the start - and when you feel you've gotten about 99% done, invert it right-side up, and give it a few final touches. Resist the urge to perfect it - just use that last 5% of time to tidy it up.

It was different and fun till all the blood started running to my goard and I got all dizzy from standing on my head. Yuk, yuk.

Sunshiney Mules

Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel.
Enjoyed doing this one in a rough loose style. A lot of small strokes and chops with the brush...none of that back and forth spreading of paint and blending.
This is a pic of mules on the steps of the Himalayas...supplied by Mithila for this weeks WDE.
