Summer Lovin' -- Still life oil painting - 6x6

Another avocado to add to the series, I think this will be my last for a while. I'm pretty excited about the new ideas spinning around in my head.

Winter Night - Daily Painting

There's a light buried in a tree on the corner of our street, and for some reason when night falls (and especially when it snows) it looks so beautiful.

Avocado in Purple - Still life oil painting

Hey guess what came today? Art supplies! Finally!
Today's painting is a little different than usual, I don't think I've ever used purple as a background color before, but I kind of enjoyed it. I guess purple and I have a love/hate relationship.

Tiny Pear - Still life oil painting

I found these tiny canvases hiding in my studio, I had completely forgotten about them. So they are what I'll be working with for the next few days.

They Were Off My Path - Daily painting

I used my last cradled gessobord for today's painting. I reordered weeks ago for more but they have yet to come. That means I get to go rummaging through my studio for canvases that I have forgotten about, and everything will get reorganized. Kind of like how I used leftovers of everything to make dinner tonight...it actually tasted really good. So hooray for mid Winter cleaning :)

California Avocado - Still life oil painting

I think avocados might be my new favorite subject, this still life was very fun to paint.

I'll Be Your Friend - Still life oil painting

Sometimes when I get frustrated with my paintings I take a break and just paint something fun that I know will turn out how I want it to. For me it's usually these little pear oil paintings, I love the colors I get to use and the shapes of the pears.

Caught in the rain - Daily painting

I haven't done many paintings like this one, I'm usually not attracted to busy scenes. But this one had an atmosphere that I wanted to try to capture.

Denver Skyline - Daily painting

This is another version of my previous painting that I did for my husband. I think I might like this one better than the first.

Working together - daily painting

It's so cold outside right now, and I think it got reflected in today's painting. I should have picked a warmer subject. I'm still cold, time to go put on another sweater.

Carpinteria Bluffs - daily painting

I wasn't able to post a painting yesterday because my husband took me on a romantic getaway for our early Valentines day :) but I'm back today this piece. It turned out a little... umm...I don't even know what to call it... it just wasn't how I thought it would turn out. But it is a painting of one of my favorite places, which I miss very much...especially in the winter.

Hot Stuff - daily painting

Today I decided to paint these two flirty jalapenos. And this time I remembered to wear gloves and not touch my eyes when I diced them up to make guacamole!

Shadows on the bridge - daily painting

I really enjoyed working on this piece, maybe I've been painting too many still life's. This landscape was a welcomed change :)

Lemons in a bowl - daily painting

I had so much fun painting this piece. Lemons are probably the most cheerful fruit there is, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of our blue wedding bowls.

Dusk - daily painting

This was my first painting on my new cradled gessobord panels. I'm very happy that it turned out ok, those panels are expensive!

I'm also pretty surprised that I managed to get a good shot of it, it's snowing outside but apparently the light is good :)

Part of the club

I'm really enjoying this fruit series, lemons are so much fun to paint, and yellow is such a happy color.

The Argument

I love painting pears, I think I always will. I like how they're never the same shape, each one has unique curves. I also love blue and green together, which anyone who went to my wedding already knows :)

Red Delicious

I started this one without really expecting much, but I really like how it turned out. Why is that always the case? A painting I think will be awesome is far from it, but one I think will be boring somehow isn't?

Macintosh

I was pretty happy with how this one turned out, I'm upset that no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get a decent photo of it. It's prettier in person, I swear.

Pears on a plate - daily painting

I love this one, it's not very often that I like a piece so much that I don't want to list it for sale. This one is going to stay with me for a while.

I discovered something wonderful during yesterdays daily painting. Mixing up your own medium, two parts spirits + one part walnut oil = perfect painting bliss. I'm really excited to keep using it. I'm also really excited about the 5 new paintings that are still too wet to photograph, they'll be up soon.

Denver from City Park - daily painting

This one is part of my husband's Valentine's day gift, even though it's already in his office.
