Memorial Day 2013

Memorial Day 2013

Close ups

Oil on 5x7 hardboard.


This painting is a repost from 2011. Sorry I failed to do a new one for this year. As I sometimes say: "My 'can do' was weaker than my 'want to'." I've had days when I haven't felt the greatest and time ran out to do a new painting for today.

Please take some time today to quietly thank God for the multitude of servicemen and women who gave their all for this nation we are so blessed to be living in.

When you are out and about and you see the military , don't be embarrassed to thank them personally for all they do.

Remember always to praise and pray. Praise our finest young citizens in the service...And pray for peace.

Colorful Language-Gulls

 Close ups

 Oil on 7x5 gessoed hardboard.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Sharron was the gracious hostess who supplied all the great reference photos. Thanks, Sharron !

The gulls in the ref photo looked as if they were getting some loud opinion across.
I'm familiar with this reference. I painted it in April of 2010. Thought it would be fun to try it once again.

My, my...don't they look vocal???
The paint ranges from super thin to very thick for variation and interest.

C&C welcome. Thanks for looking!

This is  Kashmir...and she sure knows how to pose for a portrait!I tried to lay the paint on extra thick in an attempt for spontaneous color blends.
Thought I was done, but when it was photographed and I saw it on the monitor, I had to do some touch ups....several times.

This is oil on a 5x7 hardboard.

 Just couldn't pass up the white cow! I love pushing the color all over the place on a white subject and the lighting on this cow was perfect.

Of Loyalty And Love-Boxer

Oil on 7x5 gessoed hardboard.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Li was the gracious hostess who supplied all the great reference photos.

This was made from a photo of a beautiful dog named Legend who was loyally awaiting the return of his master. Legend simply touched my heart. Someone is very lucky to be owned by a dog like this!

This is oil on a 7x5 hardboard. This is about 95% painting knife. I liked seeing the paint do its thing.

C&C welcome. Thanks for commenting!
