Lefty & Mugsie

4 x 4 inches, Oil on Board

I couldn't resist the naming these two little sheep this title. I took the back way home from an appointment today and on Parrish Road I noticed a small herd of sheep, most of which had the fluffy backsides, but I managed to burn into my brain the exact pair of sheep and decided they had to be painted as soon as I got home.

The resulting painting shown here did have some challenges is the area where lighting was starting to wain because clouds were moving that had thick and deep grayish bellies in the clouds. and this results in cooler light.and warmer shadows, I am please with the outcome.

It will be up for auction on DPW. Please click on the link. Thank you and GOD bless you with a great nite sleep. I know I'm getting sleepy listening to the debates,,. Bob Bates is doing a great job with controlling stumping

Double Take

Indigo Bunting, 4 x 4 inches, Oil on Board Click to Bid I'm fortunate to have a mated pair of Indigo Buntings visiting my bird feeder. I say that because I've had the bird feeder for over 10 years and my first sighting was last week. The male of this species sports stunning ocean blue feathers...some teal in there also. I paint with a very limited palette, so I was challenged to come up with the right mixtures. But it wasn't very long before I realized that mixing the right "Indigo" color wouldn't be enough. So I subdued everything else, to include his cute little beak.

June Daisies & A Bee

http://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/61715 June Daisies & A Bee 5 x 5 inches, Oil on Board I have daisies in two different flower beds on my property. I also have more than one area with raspberries, both black and red. So for the past few days after supper, I've been outside picking, watering, weeding and cutting. For today's painting, I decided to return to the garden and clip a few very fresh daisies. I've been experimenting with painting bees and decided to add one to this piece. What is left for today is studio cleanup and then order dinner-in from our favorite Italian takeout. My wishes for a blessed weekend go out today. - Brande

Business & Art Law take two

Business & Art Law take two 6 x 6 inches, oil on board http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/brande-arno/business-and-art-law-take-two/77676 Something got into me with respect to my first attempt at painting these two books, That post is just below this one. Everything is the same EXCEPT that I scraped off the painting yesterday because I didn't like the out-come. Someone else did like it and asked about buying it. So I repainted it today. I was going to repaint it anyway.
