The Ride-Figurative

 Close ups

 

 Oil on 7x5 canvas panel.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Ai, from Thailand, was the gracious host this week who provided a bunch of colorful photos!

I settled on doing the rider. The toughest problem was trying to straighten out the shadows and legs as I eliminated the "horse whisperer" walking on the other side. Then, making up the background is always a challenge for me.

Here's the original photo

C&C welcome. Thanks for looking and commenting.

Bucket Full Of Treasure-Boy Figurative

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Oty, from Greece, was the gracious host this week who provided a bunch of colorful photos!
 I thought the beach scene with Christos was great! I wasn't overly cautious to get everything just right...I was after expressive looseness (actually, I was short of time tonight... ). I just kept adding notes of paint attempting to match the feel of the ref.

C&C welcome. Thanks for looking and commenting.

Hard At Work-Boy Figurative

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Jess, in Florida, was the gracious host this week who provided a bunch of colorful photos!
This Jess's boy having fun at the beach.  I tried to go with the "less is more" theory and staying loose. This one just seemed to flow right along. Hope you like it.

C&C welcome. Thanks for looking and leaving a comment!


Psalm 56: 3-4         "But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. I praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me?"

The Letter

Close ups

Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel.

I simply thought this was a very intriguing image. It draws me in wondering who the letter may be from...A soldier...a parent...a goodbye note...or "congratulations, you have been pre-approved for"... .

San Salvador, Bahamas

Close ups

Oil on 7x5 hardboard.

This was done for the WDE at Wet Canvas. The reference photo was graciously supplied by a lady who goes by Lisilk.... She actually lives there--lucky lady!

The photo showed this spot in all it's glorious Bahamian color. But just for the heck of it I embellished and invented and came up with this sundown scene. I'm not saying it's better than the original photo. But I can say that it now has the look of a painting and that some of my spirit lives in it.

isaiah 45:8 You heavens above, rain down righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness grow with it; I, the LORD, have created it.

The Explorers

Acrylic on 7x5 hardboard.

Kids having a load of fun in the sun...what a warm picture...a pleasant contrast to the winter weather we're involved in.

I first sketched the scene in ink using a Pitt Artists Pen. Then I applied loose, watery washes of color. I kept going back in with thicker, opaque acrylics to bring it to a finish. I really like this approach on the smooth hardboard.

The photo from which this painting was done was supplied by Briar for this week's WDE.

Retired In The Caribbean

This is oils on 5x7 gessoed 1/8" hardboard. I attempted to keep it loose and lively. Most areas contain many closely related colors...this avoids boring the eye. This is my first boat painting. I have always admired other artists' work on this subject.
Thanks to Beth at WDE for graciously supplying the image.
