Trying larger and still loose


I am pretty comfortable with small canvases and staying loose. But getting larger has been a learning experience. This painting is 18 x 24 inches, huge for me, small for some of my hero painters. Still not sure how I feel about it.

demo...small canvas big still life



One of my students brought in amazing pottery she has and incredible flowers from her garden. I only had a 9 x 12 inch canvas, so the demo was about design, negative spaces, blocking in the values before putting on the pattern. They did beautifully.

One of my wonderful students brought this pottery with her irsises. This is my demo...I'll probably do a couple of small changes still. All my students did a great job!

Entering White River Jct



I see changes happening in my work. Some I like, some confuse me. Not sure how I feel with this one. Sometimes I feel it's finished and what I "saw" and other times it seems so dark.
