Sunlit Path

Done in oils on canvas pad 11.5x8.125. This was done for WDE challenge of April 24th 2009 hosted by dupliKate on WC.
Here is the reference.

Catch Me if You Can

This is another seascape done in oils on canvas pad 11.5x8.125". The reference photo was taken by my daughter of my grandson and son-law at the beach. I fell in love with the spontaneity of the scene. Painting figures and especially those you know is quite stressful....you want to at least get some likeness but also keep the work from being too overworked. This photo is not the finished piece.... I forgot to photograph the finished one before I gave it to my daughter. Will add it later...

More Beach Scenes

I really liked doing the beach scene for DSFDF so decided to do a few more. Found this scene on wetcanvas by Yorky's Beach and promenade at Lyme Regis, Dorset ...

Beach People

This was done for the Different Strokes for Different Folks bi-weekly challenge. Reference image can be found here. It was a double challenge for me because I wanted to learn more about wet on wet techniques. Up till now my oils have been more or less done by layers. I like to work in a more spontaneous way so I will have to find my way between the two different methods.

Took a print of the reference image that I cropped and changed a bit to my art class where I seem to have more confidence. Done on a canvas pad 11.75"x8"

Really have to work on figures... drawing and painting!!!!

Forest Girl

This is the beginning of a new oil painting. The references for this are a photo I took of a small wood area near a beach in Cape Cod. I added the nymph type figure in the woods. It still has a bit of work to complete... hope to get that done next class.

This is a small canvas 30x40 cm /12"x16"

Secrets

This is an oil painting I did from one of my photos that I took In Romania. The town was Sighisoara in Transylvania. This was the town where Vlad III, the character that inspired Stoker' novel of Count Dracula. It is a very picturesque village and was in the process of being restored when we visited in 2000.
The painting is 50x40cm'20"x15.75"

Oil/wax crayons with turpentine wash on a small 20 x 14.5 canvas. Found this canvas in a $ store in Jerusalem's central bus station....I am certainly going to buy a few more!!!!

The colors are a bit too bright ... am going to see if I can fix it in Photoshop!!!
