Dappled Light, painting of bird house (#3278)

“Dappled Light”

This is an old, plain little bird house hanging in our back yard. I really like looking at this bird house – it always makes me smile, and I’ve been wanting to paint it for a while. Approx 6×8″, oil paint on board. (I’m using nice oak plywood, primered on one side – should I be calling this “board” or “wood” or something else?)

Grape Cluster

 

Oil on board, approx 6×8″. The grapes are sitting on a reflective surface, and I tried to capture the vibrancy of the grapes and the color range of the grapes and their reflections. Scrubbing this one.

Touching Mom

smCHIN

A mom and baby loving each other at the park. Baby is touching mom’s chin. My photo’s not very good – the real painting doesn’t have that chalky white face… Oil on board, 8×6″.

Walk with Dad

I’ve been really frustrated with my paintings this month, and finally realized that my frustrations started when my favorite brush died and I ran out of my good paint.  I’m back in supplies, and feeling much better now! Please wish me luck in getting back into the painting rhythm!

Crossing the Water

There have been a lot of people boating around this last week. It is so beautiful out! 6×8, oil on RayMar canvas panel.

My favorite part is the yellow reflection on the blue fabric, under the lemon half. Oil painting on wood, 6×6.

Light and shade

One cherry tomato in the light, one in the shade. These came out with a nice vibrancy. 6×8, oil on board. Scrubbing this one.

Lemon and the Cherry Tomatoes

smtomatoes_jrascheI liked the shadows on these. Oil on canvasboard, 6×8.

Iris in complements

smiris2_jrascheI did the iris field again, but with a very deliberate color scheme. 6×8, oil on canvasboard.
