Toiletries

I don't really enjoy doing still lifes and am always thinking of something different to do in my oil class.  This is "Toiletries", a 9 x 12 demo from this morning

Cranberry Field

Cranberry Field...a 9 x 12 inch pastel demo from my pastel class

Cat Pitcher

My oil painting demo from my morning class.  The idea was, once again, to think of shapes in an abstract way...group your tulips rather than paint each one separately.  The star is the pitcher and the tulips are accent

Morning Kitchen

Morning Kitchen is a 12 x 16 inch oil on canvas demo from my oil class

Hyannis Workshop

 I had the best time with my Hyannis workshop.  16 very talented and lovely artists who liked to work and play.  These are my demos from the workshop.

Still life in Green...oil on canvas demo from my oil painting class

And it was 10 stroke time in my pastel class...the pear was done in 10 strokes.  It really comes together after the background is put in.

Mackinac Town

Mackinac Town, oil on canvas 12" x 24" was a challenge.  I wanted to simplify the complex image into shapes, colors and let the values lead us into the picture.
