standing out

I've been working on this painting for the last few days, little by little. I love the colors, composition and subject. I was trying to focus on color and bold strokes. Also, just finished reading a downloadable book about John Singer Sargent which was an inspiring read. You can download and read it here. This 16" x 8" painting is available, unframed, for $150.

party of one

Nothing more delicious than being a party of one, every once in a while. Tried to keep this one clean and crisp, maybe just a little tart. I played, ever so slightly, with Julie Ford Oliver's fracturing technique for a little bit of unexpected. Still challenged with keeping dimension…let me know what you think. This 6"x6" painting is available, unframed, for $75.

confidence

confidence noun con·fi·dence \ˈkän-fə-dən(t)s, -ˌden(t)s\ : a feeling or belief that you can do something well or succeed at something : the feeling of being certain that something will happen or that something is true. Because I get overwhelmed with my goal setting (I have more goals than I have time to write down) I'm going to try choosing one goal per month and concentrating on that one goal. Confidence. Important and so vital for creating artwork and following your passion. Wishing you a month filled with bright confidence! This 6" x 6" painting is available for purchase and sold unframed.
