Overgrown

Overgrown, Acrylic on Watercolor Paper, 10"x9", $100 (unframed)

This is another in my series of landscape paintings.  I am still exploring the use of texture and broken color.  This photo didn't capture the lightness of the foreground as well as I hoped it would. Nevertheless, I think I'm making progress.  This landscape is looser than previous pieces and has more of a sense of place.

Spring Planting-Study

Spring Planting-Study, Acrylic on Watercolor Paper, 10"x9", $100 (unframed)

Another experiment.  I am fascinated by paintings that capture the textures and colors of newly planted fields.  I've been wanting to try one.  This is a small painting which limits the amount of variation that is possible. Nevertheless, I'm pleased with the result.  I'll definitely have to try a larger one at some point.

Summer Rain - Study

Summer Rain-Study, Acrylic on Watercolor Paper, 10"x9", $100 (unframed)

This painting is a quick study using painting knives and a rubber squeegee (Julie Ford Oliver's fracturing technique).  I have been working on landscapes and how I want them to look - paint texture, color choices, degree of abstraction, etc.

Listening

Listening, Acrylic on Watercolor Paper, 9"x10", $100 (unframed)

As I was casting about for something to paint, I remembered a piece I did a couple of years ago with a person talking on the phone (I have included it below). When I went back through my photos, I found another individual that I had captured walking and talking and thought she might make a good subject.  So here she is. 

I'm still experimenting with technique as well as subject matter.  I this painting I rendered the young woman fairly realistically while using an abstract approach to the background.  I think it worked pretty well.

Lunch Hour

I had so much fun making the last umbrella painting that I decided to do another.  This one includes a bunch of umbrellas.  The main shopping street in Burlington (Church Street) has clusters of umbrellas outside of many of the eateries.  I am planning on playing with more groups of umbrellas in different colors and at different times of day.
