2 New Paintings Finished! December 2012

Hey There Everyone,

I hope your December has been treating you well!  I wanted to share 2 paintings that I recently finished.  One, will look familiar. The painting, "Self Portrait, Rainy Night 2," was a commissioned piece. I already painted "Self Portrait, Rainy Night" in 2009.  Someone wanted to buy the original painting.  I let her know that that particular painting was already TAKEN by my parents and that they wouldn't want to SELL it.  Her answer, was "Paint another one, and I'll buy that one from you." So, I did & she bought it!

"Self Portrait, Rainy Night 2," Oil on Canvas, 24"x18"

The other painting is titled, "Pretty Light." I painted this smaller 12"x 9"piece in about 3 hours.  More of a study.  I love painting children and I wanted to add another painting to my portfolio.

I HOPE you LIKE my NEW Paintings! Please leave a comment!

New Artwork December 2012!~

Hey everybody,

I have been working on some new paintings (both pastel and oil.)  I am very pleased to share 2 of my finished pieces.  One, is a pastel painting at 12.5" X 5." I know, kind of a wEird size, but it really works for the composition.

Figuring out titles are always difficult, so I was excited about this particular pastel painting.  The title came so easily.  I've decided on "Walk in the Park."  I felt that title was perfect.

"Walk in the Park," Pastel on Paper, 12.5" x 5"

The oil painting is more of what I would call "FAN ART."  Any of you who like Pixar, will understand when I'm saying "Fan Art."  Thanks to my wonderful models Cristen Miller and her beautiful daughter Josephine.  I had fun with this painting and changed a lot from the photo reference.  I changed the hair on both mom and child, the outfits, the stuffed animal, and the background as well.  I hope you like it!  I am still looking for a good title for this painting.  If you have any ideas, please feel free to LEAVE A COMMENT!!

NEEDS A TITLE!  PLEASE HELP! LEAVE A COMMENT!

Thanks for your time! I hope December is treating all of you well!
