Alla Prima Tulip painting

"Juicy" watercolor

 For this past week's classes I bought 2 different bouquets of pastel pink flowers.  In the Wednesday morning watercolor class we drew an accurate drawing of the flowers, then wet each petal or leaf individually to get a controlled,  yet loose depiction.  I chose not to paint my background as I liked the white with the soft painting.

"Frosty" oil

 Using the same pastel pink tulips, I painted "Frosty" mostly with a pallet knife and lots of impasto.  I taught my students in my Thursday Oil Painting class to block in & draw with a brush, but then have fun swirling the paint around.  This 14 x 11" oil painting was done Alla Prima (one session) as was the watercolor.

Pikes Peak Glow

Pikes Peak Glow (oil)

I was driving up out of Divide, Colorado  last September when I noticed the fleeting last light on Pikes Peak.  Autumn was beginning to color the Aspen groves golden yellow and fresh snow was on the Rocky Mountains.  This spectacular view turned to be just one of many on this weekend plein air camping trip.  This original oil measures 6 5/8" x 14" and is for sale.  Message me for current availability.

Kebler Pass

Kebler Pass Gold (oil)

Late last September I had the good fortune to spend a long weekend near Crested Butte, Colorado.  The aspens were at their prime in select areas including the drive over Kebler Pass.  There is something magical about autumn in the Rocky Mountains.  This is where I took the reference photo for this new oil "Kebler Pass Gold".   This original oil painting on  thick museum wrapped canvas has plenty of impasto. "Kepler Pass Gold" measures 12" x 6" and is for sale.

Coastal Cliffs Beckoning

Coastal Cliffs Beckoning

This is a new oil painting 9" x 12" I completed for 2012.   I started painting it in a traditional way then turned to a pallet knife to get loose and add some impasto.    I also used a small pallet knife to scrape away some of the paint to reveal the underpainting.  This peaceful scene of atmospheric cliffs reaching the Pacific ocean in Hawaii at sunset is for sale.   You can contact me for current availability.

Prints and cards of Coastal Cliffs Beckoning can be ordered through fine art america.
