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.
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 003 – Sennelier Oil Pastel
(Click the image to enlarge)
Starting with the most obvious ways to render a pear, I had to try the real oil pastel too. Although the IPad version was more polished, probably because I haven’t done as much with the IPad painting.
Ways to Render a Pear 001 – Open Acrylic

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.

Palette 004 – Watercolor Travel Kit
For my summer travels and Plein Aire, I thought it would be handy to make a my own compact watercolor palette. This was a good tin for me to use because I love dark chocolate!
I flattened out the sculpey in the tin (the lid has a very thin layer), found an object to poke the holes, baked it according to instructions, sprayed a glossy clear coat on the sculpey, and squeezed my favorite colors into the holes.
Inspired by the kit made at http://onegoldenapple.blogspot.com/2011/04/watercolors-to-go.html
“Life is a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get!” Forest Gump is one of my favorite movies, it couldn’t be helped!
Thick Paint Today!
My paint was thicker today than usual, and it can be hard to control but managed to make it work! 5×7″ Canvas Board
Ipad Painting Inspired by “The Painting”
What Animated film inspired me to do this Ipad painting?
It’s from “Le Tableau” a French animated feature film. In English it’s known as “The Painting.” I thought it would be fun to paint a picture like it and have brushwork. I took some liberties, but it was fun to experiment with this environment and the Art Set Pro App.
The French have other recent great animated films like “Ernest and Celestine,” “Secret of the Kells,” and “The Triplets of Belleville.” All of these movies including “The Painting” are available on ITunes.
Where is this from?
This Ipad Painting I did is inspired by what film?
Here is a close up of the detail. Painted in Art Set Pro on the IPad.
Rolling Up the Carpet #10 (Final)
It’s nice to get some time to finally finish this one. I experimented with textures. 7×14″ gallery wrap canvas.
