I plan to post current paintings on my blog site. I'm not much of a writer but I do love to paint. I do oils and pastels and I teach workshops. I plan to sometimes post demos and talk about how to create a painting as well.

Charleston Carriage
9 x 12 oil on board was yesterday's demo. Not sure if it's done or not.
What a lovely, charming painting, Aline! I think it is done! The horse has great body language, with its long neck & perfect little gait--it looks happy being on the job. The yellow carriage w/ blue trim cries out, 'Sunny Day!' & the passengers look pretty happy about. There is lovely balance in the design of the piece, the lower shadow balanced by the green palms above & the shadows below them. Leave it alone before you do anything more. It really is fresh & lively--you don't want to lose that. Not that you ever do... It's a great painting. L&K, MaryB
