minimal landscape
I painted this one yesterday in one shot. I never intended it to be this minimal, but something is telling me to stop. This photo was taken under studio lights, unfortunately. It’s been a dark and rainy week here. Colors used: Italian yellow ochre, ultramarine blue, burnt umber and titanium zinc oxide. All Williamsburg brand paints.

oil study on paper
I tried a new product today… a paper made by Arches that is for oil painting. I enjoyed it and look forward to trying more with it. My only slight problem with it is that you can’t wipe paint off completely like you can with gessobords. The paint soaks into the paper.

I love the wildness of the prairie and the chance to go a little more abstract in these paintings : )

There were so many tall yellow daisy like flowers that day. Most were over my head! I used the edge of the palette knife to put in these stems. At first I was careful, but in the end it all came out a bit abstract expressionist : )

This little painting was inspired by a recent trip to the Chicago Botanic Garden. While painting this, I realized that I love the contrast of the dark central void with the bright corona of petals and spiky flower parts.

This was a little experiment to see how two paintings of the same subject would vary when painted one after the other.

The driver of our tour bus shouted “Caribou ahead!” and we all reached for our cameras! What a stroke of luck that I was sitting on the left side of the bus and had THE perfect view as the beast ambled by! 
Alaska Wilderness Lodge 9″ x 12″
My husband and I had a wonderful trip to Alaska. I’ve been doing a lot of new paintings based on photos I took there.
Initial block in
A few stages of the painting.
The whole study was done in about an hour. The usual palette was used and the gessobord was coated with a dilute mixture of cadmium vermillion and sevres blue (which was dry before I began the painting). This gives a nice warm undertone that shows through.
