I designed a sky that would complement the field with a group of trees that I plan to paint for this picture. I played with positive and negative space until I was satisfied with the composition.

Summer Fields
6×8″ stretched canvas with gallery edges.
Although I’m happy with the painting, I want to have thicker paint like some of my other works. I did an experiment of leaving a dollop of each for 15 hours prior to adding the paint to my pallette although it was thicker, it was not thick enough to my liking. I will try leaving out longer before adding it. If I can find the right amount of time, it’s just a matter of planning ahead.

Pink Peony
I approached this picture by loading the brush as much as I dare and with the least amount of strokes. Although I did go over the background again to get the textures.
I’m going to experiment with more like these.
Send in the Clouds (Final)
I painted the horizon and foreground. I could ordinarily get the whole painting done in one sitting but more often than not I only have a short window of time.

Send in the Clouds (WIP1)
These clouds were a bit more complexed formation than the clouds I tend to emulate. I needed to add fresh paint to my palette, therefore it wasn’t as thick as the last painting. I need to start opening my palette a couple hours early for the fresh Golden Open Acrylics. Strange isn’t it! Although with the smaller clouds it wasn’t such a bad idea to have thinner paint. 5×7″ canvas board.
Beyond the Hill
Applied some of that thick gooey paint to finish up my painting. Incorporated the use of a palette knife. I want to do that more often. 5×7″ Canvas Board
Ways to Render a Pear 001 – Open Acrylic
(Click on the image to enlarge)
How many ways to render a pair? I’m going to find out. I’ll start with the most basic, a realistically render of a pair in Golden open acrylics.

Rolling Up the Carpet #10 (WIP 4)
I think it was worth the risk of repainting the sky. I exaggerated the perspective by bowing rows down in the middle, and the big clouds are bigger and lower with less little distant clouds.
The outline shows the placement of the old clouds, which was too evenly spaced, and the rows were straight across. I’m trying to learn to orchestrate the sky, which can get a bit messy. After this, if I’m unsure I will be more at ease to rework my paintings.

Rolling Up the Carpet #10 (WIP 1&2)
I was in the mood to do a panorama, which works well in the plains, and maybe I’ll use it for my facebook bkgd panel? 7×14″ gallery edge canvas.
Here is my sketch before I painted over it.
Painting Flowers for My Mom
Happy Mother’s Day!
I usually get spring potted flower’s for my Mom for Mother’s Day, but this time I thought I would paint some that don’t need to be watered, and will last beyond the season.
