Woman in Pink and Orange (iPad Painting)

Drawn from life on iPad Thursday morning.

Vase with Twelve Sunflowers (iPad Painting)

Drawn from imagination, starting with gray background titled "Vase with Twelve Sunflowers."

Probably started and abandoned by one of my relatives, while I was visiting Portland, Oregon last week.

My brother and sister-in-law grow a fabulous garden, and vases full of flowers fill their rooms.

So I took the title and my memory of the flowers as inspirations and started doodling.  This is the result.

SUBURBIA UPDATE:

An entry in the continuing effort to lower the number of mosquitoes without poisoning them (and us).

Austin Summer Blues

Oil on canvas, 30" x 40".

Last summer in Austin, from my memory and imagination.

Austin Summer Blues; Under-Paintings; Grey Abandon 2

I started some paintings last week.

First, Austin Summer Blues.  Oil over acrylic on 30" x 40" canvas.

Painted from memory and imagination.

I tried to paint this entirely in acrylic, but I missed the sensuous feel and look of oil paint, so I painting over the base of acrylic with oils.

I don't know if it is done.  I'm going to let it sit awhile and then re-assess.


Next, Under-Paintings, two canvases, waiting for additional work.

I like to make my under-painting interesting.  It gives me something to paint in reference to, that I can work into my final composition to a greater or lesser degree.

Finally, Grey Abandon 2, a digital version of Grey Abandon  (8" x 8" total, with image at 6" x  6"):
