Yupo Paper Experiment

7x11 Oil on Yupo Paper

This was a fun experiment this morning! I had some leftover paint and a piece of Yupo paper laying around that I had played with before using watercolors (they just wipe right off of this slick surface). So I decided I needed some loosin-ing up before getting into anything serious today. What do you think of my experiment? Oh, almost forgot......it is also done with the knifes....but you could probably tell that by now and a simple composition off the top of my head!

Sometimes we just have to throw caution to the wind!

Have a beautiful day.

Matted and framed

An emotional week and through my tear swollen eyes I painted this very beautiful fall stand of trees. I kept thinking to myself to hold my chin up......Stand Tall and keep looking ahead.

Hope you like this one as much as I do.

Details

You asked for it! A palette knife painting....Whew,... do

you know how long it has been since I did a total

knife landscape? Hmmmm, at least 16 years ago,

probably longer but I failed to date the last

one I did and cannot really remember.

I enjoyed the challenge and loved the freedom of this

style of painting. Very satisfying when you backup

and see that the blob of paint you just put on

actually does look like a tree!

Thanks for Visiting!

Lamoille Fall ~ Study

5x7 OIL

This is a small study that I am planning on painting a larger

version of in the very near future. It won't be long

now....down to just a few weeks that I will be able to have

this view in the canyon, I am hoping I can go do some more

Plein Air painting up there before the weather gets too cold!

My son told me today.....according to the Farmers

Almanac we are in for a COLD winter... so I am hoping to drag

my pack mule (my husband) out before the winter season starts.

THANKS for VISITING!

Solitude 22x28 Oil

Solitude.....the name of this painting came to me while
in the process of painting and I found that I was loving
the quiet solitude of this place.
This is a much larger painting and the Blog just doesn't
do it justice. I hope you enjoy it.

Lamoille Spring Melt 20x24 Oil

Lamoille Spring Melt is an older painting that
I have hanging in my home. For a long time one
of my goals was to learn how to paint water....
then rocks under water....I am still trying to master
both water & rocks.
