More polka dots

Not sure why I am on this polka dot kick (well, can 2 paintings qualify as a "kick"?) - anyway, having lots of fun painting these days - I actually think the polka dots add a touch of whimsey.  Here is the latest.

Polka dot days

As I have mentioned before, I love to paint figures.  So, here is my latest figure painting (9x12 on panel).

More Daisies

As I have mentioned before, I just love daisies . . . so, here's another little (8x8) painting of daisies . . .they're just so cheerful!

Garden Wisteria

Today's painting is a wisteria vine in an abandoned nursery -- not sure if I am done with it or not yet -- always prop the newest painting up on my mantle to look at it for a few days to see if it needs some touching up.

Red Hair and Green Hat

Here is a new figure painting (15x30 on stretched canvas):

I showed my art teacher the funky face painting shown in the last post - I sort of thought of it as an aborigine woman - my art teacher immediately said "Mick Jagger"!!!  Eye of the beholder and all that.

Creativity

I believe it's important to develop the creative muscle every chance we get -- most of the time I focus on having a finished painting -- like the still life from the last post.  So, this week, I decided to "play" a little bit.  As I have talked about before, I really enjoy painting faces/figures.  So, this was the result of my play on Wednesday night (8x8 on panel):

Last night, I did a very fun painting (while looking at a photo of myself just to get structure of eyes, nose, etc.) - but no, it is not a self portrait!  ha!  (and yes, it is okay to laugh).  (9x12 on panel)

So, go out and do something creative today!

Classic Still Life

Just a still life -- but no matter the subject matter, it's still practice.
This is an 11x14 painting on canvas panel . . .
