Autumn Light - Palette Knife Oil Painting - 10x10

I had a lot of fun with this one. These palette knife paintings are always so messy, I end up with paint in my hair, on my face, just everywhere!

May Sunset - Carpinteria Oil Painting - 18x24

This is another large painting that I did for the show. I gave that awful panel another chance, I added another coat of gesso first, it helped a little, but I'm still not impressed.

This show was a great push for me. I usually view my small 6x6 paintings as like an oil sketch, and then if I really like the composition and colors then I can turn it into something larger. But the problem is I get distracted and have a folder of things "to paint larger", the show made me finally buckle down and do them.

The Expressive Avocado - Still Life Oil Painting - 6x6

I thought it would be fun to try a still life using the palette knife... the first photo is the finished painting and the one below it is how I started it out. I had a specific idea of how I wanted it to turn out, and I thought the best way to accomplish that would be by having a pretty good underpainting first. I don't really like leaving parts of the board exposed, and by painting it all in first I didn't have to try to do it with the knife.

Summer Feelings - Daily Painting - 8x8

This was the view from on of the upstairs windows at Grandma's house in South Dakota. I loved how green and summery it was, and how the sun was shining on those bright white buildings.

Avocado and Purple - Still life oil painting - 8x8

Today we're driving to South Dakota, we left at 6 this morning and right now we're in a little town called Valentine in Nebraska. So far it's greener over here than I expected, way better than driving through Utah and Nevada! I think we have another 4 hours before we get to Eureka SD. Oh and we saw a reindeer!

The Indignant Pear - Still life oil painting - 6x6

I feel like the left pear is a bit enraged about whatever the right one just said...but I don't think the right one knows it.

The Baby Avocado - Still Life Oil Painting - 5x7

This was the tiniest avocado I have ever seen, it was so cute I just had to paint it. And I love the background color, teal blue and that particular shade of green is one of my favorite color combinations.
