Funtastic Fruits
This shiny painting has a little gold paint on it to add a little pop. It was kind of a challenge as it is not my usual approach, but it is fun and very dramatic. It is large; 40" x 30", so it has a lot of impact. I think I had better put it away so I can't play with it anymore.

Dreamer
Modeling is a difficult job. The pose must be interesting from all angles and the model must be still until the time is up. I find quick poses easiest to turn into fun paintings, because I can add patterns and designs that don't occur in the drawing session. It is a leap of faith when I turn a quick sketch into something I can put a title on. I love this young woman's curly red locks, so that is what gets the most attention.

Tropical Again
I have worked on this colorful piece again, and I think it is done. It is large, 30" x 40", so quite dramatic compared to my smaller watercolors. It is acrylic on canvas. I had fun with the vibrant colors of the items, but also the shadows and creation of volume with shading. I love painting the blue glass vase and you'll see it often in my still life paintings.
