Brande Arno Art

5 x 5 inches, Oil on Gessoboard  $ 75.  Purchase There was something about the original  "Eating My Greens" painting, that didn't set right with me.  Some paintings can do that...they kind of sing this song to you.  The words go something like "Na-Na, Na-Na-Na" Which translate to:  Something's wrong and you can't fix it!   There's another oldie but goodie song "Time is on my side"  Yes it is!  I simplified the composition, added a little calligraphy brushwork and adjusted those greens.  I'm more than happy with the outcome.  Below is the painting before I gave it more attention.

5 x 5 inches, Oil on Panel I'm in the throes of an online course tailored to artists taking control of their careers.  Right now, I feel like I can't digest another anything.  I feel overwhelmed because until I started this course, I was blissfully ignorant of  web technology.  It's not a leap of faith...it's do I have the faith to leap. Unless I'm painting, gardening, or keeping house, I'm at a disadvantage.  And I paid money to prove that to myself again.

"Working the Snow" 5 x 5 inches, Oil on Board -Sold I'm glad that my phone has a camera! I happened to be coming home from an appointment when I spied  two pigs rooting with their noses in spite of the cold snow.  Of course I slammed on the breaks...scary event for the car behind me...pulled over and snapped some photos. Today's painting features one of the two, complete with snow on her nose.

Morning Sun, 5 x 5 cradled Gessoboard, Oil Sold - Thank you I wanted to do something different today and went looking through my sources for inspiration.  I have wonderful childhood memories of visiting a farm during summer breaks.  So I had to paint a farm animal...so why not a piggy.
