Romance

boatsmTwo people quitly paddling a canoe. This one got away from me, but it helped me remember some of the things I’m trying to accomplish. 6×6, oil on wood.

It’s my birthday today; this morning we went for a nice little drive, and now I’m sipping an iced vanilla latte and painting. :)

friends_jraschesmI’m having a great time painting figures this week. Today’s painting is not finished yet – I’ll work at it more this evening. It’s two toddlers sitting against a tree together. 8×8, oil on mounted canvas.

mom_jraschesmMe and the baby in the park. I really love this sentamental little scene. Oil on wood, 6×6.

The kids next door were jumping on thier trampoline and laughing when I started this. It was nice.

Sky

A little tiny skyscape. I’m trying to figure out how to have more color harmony between my skies and land in the pictues with a lot of sky. Oil painting on wood, 2 1/2″ x 3 1/2″

These backlit flowers and apple came out really nicely.

Blossoms

soda-bottle-jrasche-smWhite blossoms from the back yard. I like the translucence that came through in the green soda bottle. Oil on mounted canvas, 6×8″.

 

flowers-jraschesm“Weeds”, as the neighbor kids call them. They look like black-eyed susans to me, and they are growing in huge numbers in empty lots around here. They’re very pretty. This painting came out a bit mushy, but the colors are vibrant and I’m happy with the bottle. I think this was too big of a canvas for my short painting time. Oil on mounted canvas, approx 14×9″.

apple

With this one i was trying to work with thinner paint. I’m scrubbing it.
