4 Lincolns

Posted in daily painter, tagged acrylic, daily painter, daily painting, Dogs, impressionism, Virginia Artist on June 9, 2011| 1 Comment »

This is what I call 4 Lincoln. These are the two paintings of Stinkin’ Lincoln that I did for the Bark for the Park series. They are both 12″x12″ acrylic on canvas. The green one sold at the reception for Bark for the Park and the teal one is hanging in my living room with the portraits of all the dogs I have had. 🙂

The Wedding Dance

Posted in daily painter, tagged daily painter, daily painting, impressionism, Landscape, oil painting, Virginia, Virginia Artist, wedding dance on June 3, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Several months ago I got a commission for a painting as an anniversary gift from a man for his wife. It was a photo of their wedding dance. But he also wanted it to reflect a favorite book that they had.

So I worked to incorporate the two. This is the beginning.

After working on it for a while, this is what I had.

Eventually I made a few more changes to make them each stand out more.

And this was the final painting. He loved it. I hope she did too!

A 90th Birthday Present

Posted in daily painter, tagged daily painter, daily painting, impressionism, Landscape, pond, Shenandoah Valley, Small Town Life, Virginia Artist, watercolor, woods and pond on May 24, 2011| 1 Comment »

A few weeks ago a good friend asked if I could paint a watercolor of the pond on her property. Her dad’s 90th birthday was coming up and it was his “favorite” place and she wanted to give it to him.

We rode out to her place and took a few photographs one afternoon. And I could see why he loved the place so much. It was lovely…and peaceful…and such a beautiful setting.

Even the outhouse was cool and perfectly placed in the tall shade trees.

After much rumination of the matter I decided to paint the view with the trees in front. I like the way it turned out. And she said her dad loved it too! Happy 90th Birthday.

She is also a great painter. She helped me with the Coneflower painting that I was working on while her mom looked on. Thanks Allie.
