Glass, Water and Apple

Glass, Water and Apple Oil on Board 5 x 7 inches.
All this week, I've been working on a very large Black Bear painting, it's almost finished.

Yesterday I decided I should take some time to brush up with a daily small painting and so the painting, Glass, Water and Apple was created.

I'm happy with the outcome of yesterday's efforts, but it took too long to capture the glass. I scraped it off three times to re-paint before getting it rendered to look like a glass of water. I learned again the lesson that less is more. It only takes one bad brush stroke to ruin a painting full of good ones.

Here is a close up shot with my cell phone. I finally ordered my 16 megapixel camera and expect it to be delivered early March.

Cardinal Conclave

ACEO, 2.5 x 3.5 inches Watercolor, $ 18. Buy with Paypal As of this posting the Roman Catholic Cardinals are still in conclave to discover the next pope. I'm not Roman Catholic but I do have a wonderment about the this process because it's so entwined in mystery. This little watercolor Cardinal was at my bird feeder where he grabbed a sunflower seed and quickly flew to a tree limb to perch and enjoy. After which he waits his turn to return.

Little Dee, No.1

Little Dee, No. 1 - Oil on Canvas, 2 x 2 inches with Easel $20. Buy with Paypal This is an experiment to force myself to say more with less. Painting with less brushwork because I have to! Also, I don't paint on canvas, so I have to get use to that. But I am having fun.
