the gritty city challenge

This is the Daily PaintWorks current challenge. So after my post yesterday about simplicity, this was a good test. It's really challenging to keep something so complicated, simple. I tried. That's all I can say. It could have been even more simplified. I'll just keep working at it. Last night I went to life drawing class and I really liked my quick gesture drawings much more than what I created during the longer pose. I'll just keep on learning! This painting is 6"x6" and available for $65, unframed. Stay warm!

orange sunset

This amazing sunset over Orange Street in downtown Lancaster is from a photo taken by my friend Kellie Pederson. This painting was both fun and challenging. What a beautiful city I live in! This painting is SOLD!

coming or going?

I had this ready to post on Friday and I just didn't feel finished with it. It made a big transformation over my very busy weekend. I'm so much happier with it now. This is my son's girlfriend and her dog Casper. Best of friends headed in different directions. :) I just love the colors and shapes. Hope today is a great day for you in whatever direction you are headed! This painting is SOLD.
