Diagonal Line Landscape

I am reading Edgar Payne's book entitled "Composition of Outdoor Painting."  It is always recommended by landscape workshop artists.  It is extremely helpful in finding the composition that works for your art and your vision.   In an effort to learn and improve (we all want that!), I am going to paint a landscape from each of his compositional types.  This one is the diagonal and is entitled "Downhill".  This is an 8 x 10 somewhat tonalist painting.

Onions and Kettle

I admired a simple still life set up by Qiang Huang recently and decided to try to replicate the setup and see if I could do a good job.  Of course, my onions were a bit different but similar!  I enjoyed the simplicity of the setup and had a great time doing this.  Thanks to Qiang Huang for the inspiration.

Peach Pickings

Found this great easel for larger paintings.  Think the latest oil looks great on it.  This is a 12 x 12 inch format, original oil.  The grays and the peaches mix well I think.  For sale HERE

Chicken Scratch - A DPW Challenge Painting (Sold)

This week, the challenge to artists was chickens.  The challenge was posted by Carol Marine.  If you haven't checked out her art, please link to her on my Artists I Admire portion of this blog.  If you would like to see how other artists interpreted the challenge, link here!  This one is a 5 x 5 inch square little painting that will fit on an easel or can be framed.

I found an amazing artist who makes handmade wooden frames and sells them in Etsy.  You can see one of his frames on a posting of my painting "Hot Stuff" at my Etsy.  The frames are just beautiful and one of a kind.  So, I am enjoying these small paintings and seeing them in the frame just is gorgeous.

To buy Chicken Scratch, just go to this link!
