Thank you Katie for sharing your photo!

This one has so many layers. Through the whole process I was really happy with the drawing, but had a hard time resolving the colors and especially the values. I think it turned out really well in the end. They look so in love….

Comfort

Comfort / 6×6 in / oil on linen/ ON HOLD

Thank you so much to the mom who shared this intimate photo with me!…

I’m not quite sure if this painting is done yet. I always take a couple days to think about my paintings of people before I decide if they’re done… It captures what I wanted, which is that mood of the baby napping on mom in total comfort… But I might like to add some subtlety to the baby. So, maybe.

Commission

Jessie — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 18:41:15 +0000

I just finished the largest portrait commission I’ve done so far. I worked really hard on it and am very happy with the results, but was pretty anxious waiting for the collector’s feedback… But he said it’s “wonderful.” Yeah! I don’t want to spoil any holiday surprises, so here is just a tiny piece of the painting.

Just started an orange painting this morning.

“Kite 2″ / 6×6 in / oil on linen unframed / $150

This mom and boy were in their own private world watching kites together at Kite Mountain this summer. I just love these public snuggles… Mom loving painting #24 – there are only 6 more Mom Loving paintings to complete the project. Email me if you’d like to submit a photo for one.

This is what the painting would look like framed.

“Dinoball” and Yeah!

“Dinoball” / 6″ x 8″ / oil on linen / $180

This is a painting of my son working a toy. I loved the light coming through his fingers, and that the toy looks like a baby bird or dinosaur.

4 of my paintings were accepted into Randy Higbee Gallery’s 6 Inch Squared show! Yeah!

Riding Out

“Riding Out” / 6×6 in / oil on linen

This pony, and the horse from yesterday, were both rescued animals from neglectful situations. They were so sweet and gentle.

This one I finished alla prima (wet on wet). So fun! I liked finishing in one sitting so much I may wake up at 3am more often. Making this background so sparse was a huge stretch for me… I’m excited about how it worked.

Thank you so much for the encouragement yesterday, and since I started this blog!

I love giving back a little – so there’s going to be another painting giveaway soon (when I get to 250 FB fans – only a few more to go!). Everyone who Likes me on FB, and everyone who is on my ‘monthly’ mailing list, and anyone who shares this post (let me know if you do) before I hit the 250 fans milestone, will be entered into a drawing for a free painting (shipping included)!

Correct?

Holding On

Available through Randy Higbee Gallery, 6 Inch Squared Show

This is a man and infant who were standing at the amusement park a couple days ago. I really liked the way he was holding the baby – it looked so intimate. The mom is the purple shape behind them.

I tried to get that nice skin-glow on this one – especially since they were both wearing red, which reflects off of skin so nicely.

I really enjoy paintings that look abstract for a second before the subject presents itself…
