New portrait study

So let's see, it been oh...four months since I last posted a painting. I've been very neglectful of my blog and am trying to be disciplined to post more paintings. This is a recent one of a model from my weekly figure class.

Summer Peaches

I'm short on time this summer, as both of my sons are out for the summer and require quite a bit of attention! However, I've managed to squeeze in some small still-lifes. Here is a recent one of some summer peaches.

Hyde Park Observatory

This building is near where I live and is a landmark in Hyde Park, a neighborhood in Cincinnati. It's a great observatory and unique building!

Still Life with Copper Kettle

Okay, so this one is not one of my "small" paintings...it is 14"x18"...but thought I would post it anyway. I did this one last fall.

Another portrait study

Hi everyone,

I finally have a new painting to post! This is a recent head study that I did in oil for my portrait/figure class that meets once a week.

Recent oil portraits from Thursday night class

Here are some recent oil portraits I did from my Thursday evening sketch class. Both done from models who sat for approximately 2 hours.

Trio of Apples

I'm finally getting back to my own painting, now that my son's big school project is behind us. I painted this simple still life of Macintosh apples recently. I really like the color variation in that type of apple.

I hope you enjoy the painting as much as I enjoyed painting it.
