One more Value Study... Tomorrow we Paint!

An artist friend sent me a photo of 2 of their pigs. It was adorable as both of them were sitting. I found that I could not decently fit them both into my painting and so decided to just paint one of them. This is the value study for this handsome pig.

I guess the Christmas holidays have me thinking  pastoral  thoughts. Couldn't resist painting a small flock of sheep. They look as though they should be crowding around a manger....  Merry Christmas to all and blessings of a joyful 2013.

I just love little chicks! Who can resist them? So soft and roundish, peeping and running about, they are just amazing.

Oil on Paper and Board

Here is another experiment with oil on paper and board in a more realistic manner. Again you can see all the under lying texture created by using the paper. And you can see where pieces of the paper show through the oil paint. I am on the fence as to whether or not this really works with this painting. But it turned out to be a cute scene with all the chickens and the sheep. The reference photo of the sheep was the main inspiration for this painting, the chickens were just support players.  This painting is for sale for $150.00.  Copyright 2012, by the artist, Susan M.

Oil and Paper on Board

Today's painting was a quick experiment using a new technique of painting with oils on sections of paper adhered to board. I like the abstract and modern quality this technique gives my art, but found it more difficult when painting a piece this small. This process does add more texture, and unexpected design with color as bits of the paper show through and I will continue to explore this painting method. This painting is for sale for $55.00 and includes free shipping in the Continental USA.
