Breakfast Buddies

This is a quick painting I did when a friend was over for some tea. The challenge was provided by Jen Smith of Rookie Painter.  5" x 7" $150

Tulips, One Heart

This is a 5x7 oil painting of a photo either I took or my daughter took of the Tulips at Descanso Gardens. It was taken a long time ago but just got around to painting them. 5" x 7"- $ 150

Beach Rocks

These are some river rocks that I picked up from a beach in Oregon. I painted them per a request of one of my daughters. This is the first time I ever used acrylics. I love how they dry so quickly on the rock but I hate how quickly it dries on my palette.  N/A

I Break for Tea

This is this week's challenge for DPW we were supposed to paint our favorite mug. Since no photo was supplied I took my stuff outside into the sun and set up my own composition. I had never done that before! I enjoyed playing around with the objects. I then took a photo and printed it off and begun to paint. I LOVE tea and this is one of my favorites, Peachberry Jasmine Sutra which has a lovely color and smell. The big mug allows me to stick my face in it and smell it as well as taste it.
8" x 10" $ 100

I'm Sill in Love With You

This was for the DPW Challenge. The challenge was to get the values correct. We were given a black and white photo and told to paint it then check our own painting in black and white to see if we got it right. I think I got the values pretty close . 5" x 7" $ 100

Yoo-Hoo Taxi

This is an old challenge from A Day Not Wasted but ironically I must have done so because this challenge was a year ago! My eyesight is not very good at seeing detail so my eyes got tired quickly doing this and I took far too may breaks. 9" x 12" $50

Glorious Groundcover

This was painted for the DPW challenge. We were limited to the colors we were to use, we were asked to paint from nature not a photo and we were given an hour. So this is what I came up with. Definitely better than an old painting of mine that I painted over. Still if I had more time...
