Flowers…#9

"Flowers,  #9"

8" x 10", oil on canvas

I'm not sure what I think about this one…

Painting at night in my studio, I turned off a lot of lights and put a spotlight on this little still life.

I even turned off some lights close to my canvas.

I guess I'd say I was painting in the dark.  The painting kinda turned out dark.  I'm surprised, because I thought maybe it would lead to a lighter painting.  

It was an experiment… which is the cool thing about 

 painting everyday, I'm 

feeling more casual about these little paintings, less pressure…more playful.

I like that.  :)  

Okay…thank you for checking in on me!

I appreciate it!  :)

Pretty in Pink

"Pretty in Pink"

24" x 24"  oil

Pretty in Pink is going down to Laguna Beach soon.

She will be in an art show celebrating women in the arts

at Las Laguna Art Gallery.

I'm excited to be in a show in Southern California!

A sneak peak.....

I just got done hanging a small collection of paintings at 

Modern Dwellers Chocolate Lounge,

here in Anchorage, Alaska.

The paintings are for sale and on display for the month of September.

Tomorrow night is a small reception from 5pm until 8pm.

I've heard there will be truffles...chocolates and drinks at this little soiree!

Painless....

Thanks for looking!

A Quiet Alley

"A Quiet Alley"

10" x 20"  oil

I had a nice time playing with the colors on this one....

and I've been trying a slightly different approach

with this piece and few other paintings.

I'm experimenting....I'd like a more emotional feel to my work, so.....

I'm just feeling my way in the dark I suppose.

I'm happy with how this little one turned out.

Thank you for looking!
