Paintings I've done in 2019

Mostly acrylic, some oil

some of my favorite cars

Fun Forgeries

Here are the first 4 of my "Fun Forgeries.". More to come later. I was supposed to do 1 a day for "Acrylic April" so I'm now officially 16 days behind...oh well. 

Paintings since the beginning of 2018

Watercolor on 5x7" canvases: 

8x10"

Acrylic on canvas and on wood. Trying to study the effects of light. The umbrella should have the sun coming right thru the fabric, not blocked like it is here. But after many tries I was finally happy with the water. The sunset--who knew how much brown is in the sky? This was only a value and color study in one layer of paint. I never finished it with more layers.

5x7"

11x14"

                                              

Mini 2" versions of a large painting I was doing of a lemon and apple:

Larger than life 18x24" Lemon and Apple

Bacon, eggs, pancakes, etc, Befores and Afters: 6x6"

 

 

No before, just an after.

            

Set of miniature breakfast plates--each of these is 2" square:

Fried Eggs and Homefries 10x20" deep canvas, ref photo from pixabay. I plan to make a lunch, dinner, dessert, and snack to go with this breakfast.

2 restaurants here in the southwest. I love the architecture here. Both 11x14" deep canvas and based on my own reference photos. Again challenging myself with different lighting--one with setting sun glowing on the side of the building and the other a dusk scene brightened up with different lighting.

Elephant and Macaw Watercolor Paintings

These are my first tries (since high school, 1986) at watercolor with cheap-ass paint and paper from Hobby Lobby. Master's Touch--I wouldn't recommend their stuff to a 3 yr old! But I framed these two and they're hanging in my living room, lol.

A Few Watercolor Paintings

I decided to try out watercolor painting....sold one already (the Cherry Pie) to a fb friend from my hometown. Still working on skills and finding the right products and how to stretch paper properly!

Each one of these is done on a 6x9"piece of Arches 140 lb paper. These were all 2nd tries. I'm pretty happy with them so far.
