Fresh of the press! Here's a picture of my latest oil painting. I liked this shot of painting still on my french easel. I had just completed it. With this painting I was taking pictures of my production process. I'm going to put together a simple youtube slide show of how I'm producing my paintings. From beginning to end. It was fun taking pictures of the different stages. Then I viewed my pics on my digital camera and it was interesting to look back at the steps I take to get to the final piece. Hopefully this slide show can inspire others to pick up some art supplies and create some simple paintings.s.

Red Delicious Apple Painting

My 2nd oil painting! Again, just keeping the subject simple with small canvas size, 6x8, on gessobord. When the canvas is small, I finish the piece in less time and get that rewarding feeling of completion sooner.  I really need that right now, it motivates me to do another one, and the more painting I do, the more confident I'll get.

 I chose a simple subject, I used a Red Delicious apple on its side to fill the canvas. It's a simple apple yet complex enough to make me focus on its shape and depth to make sure I communicate it's an apple on its side.
