Tangerine Bouquet

I recently completed a self study course from Mark Carder on still life oil painting. I really enjoyed the concepts in realism which I don't often strive for.

Happy Holidays

This was an experiment that seemed to work. I took simple gatorboard and used pumice mixed with gesso and make a ground with swirls...fun! it was a bit like finger painting.
