The Rincon House

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , , , , , on January 5, 2010| Leave a Comment »

The Rincon House is an oil on 9″x12″ canvas  panel.  I just finished it yesterday.  I started it while on vacation last week.  It is my brother’s family house in Rincon, Georgia.  I got to see them while away last week and we had a nice visit.  I showed them the beginning of the  painting and promised to wrap it up this week and get it ready to send to them.  Now I just have to wait for the paint to dry.  🙂

Riding the Drive

Posted in daily painter, Travel, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on January 4, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Riding the Drive is an oil on 12″x12″ gallery wrap 1 1/2″ canvas.  This painting was done as a Christmas gift for Allen who loves bicycling on the Skyline Drive.  We live in an area where there are so many beautiful scenes to paint especially scenes from Skyline Drive across the Shenandoah Valley.

This is the beginning of a new painting year.   Last year ended with 216 paintings done over the course of the year.  I am working on a plan for this years goals and should have something ready to share this week.  Until then I will continue with the daily work.

The Tree Out Front

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , on December 22, 2009| Leave a Comment »

The Tree Out Front is an oil on 6″x8″ canvas and is available for $95.  We still have lots of snow and it makes everything look so different that I want to paint all the scenes with snow on them now.  I’ll have to settle for taking photos to build my reference file.

This is the reference photo and how it looks on the easel with the painting.  This photo was taken from my front door looking to the left down the street.

Sometimes they change their minds…

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , , , , on December 18, 2009| 1 Comment »

From time to time I do commission work other than pet portraits.  One that I recently completed was Susan’s Weeping Cherry Tree.  After living with the painting for several weeks the client decided that she would like to have the house in the painting after all.  So here is a snapshot of the painting after I added the house.

This was the original painting.  I like having the house in it.  It adds depth to the composition.  It’s not always possible to go back into a painting and make it work but sometimes you get lucky.  🙂

Shenandoah Fall

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on December 14, 2009| Leave a Comment »

This is the beginning of the painting, Shenandoah Fall.  I was reminded recently by a couple of blog readers that  you like to see the progress of a painting.  I forget to take photos because I get caught up in what I am doing when I paint.  I’ll try to remember to stop and take some photos so that I can post the progression in the future.

The palette I worked with looked like this.  I often use palette paper which makes for a much easier clean-up when I finish work.  I generally use about 6 or 7 colors when I paint and blend them together to get the tones I need.

And this is the complete painting, Shenandoah Fall I, which measures 6″x8″ and is framed and available at Delilah’s for $145.  There is a companion piece that I did at the same time that I will post soon.

Late Autumn

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , on December 2, 2009| Leave a Comment »

Late Autumn is an oil on canvas panel measuring 8″x10″ and is available for $165.  I love the way some trees look at this time of the year when the leaves have left them and you can see all the limbs reaching out.

Most days I spend several hours painting, several hours working on marketing, and several hours teaching.  But sometimes I get to work with art in a different way. 

Yesterday I met a young man who is a student at Lord Fairfax Community College who is doing a paper on art galleries.  He visited Delilah’s Art Gallery to gather some information for his paper.  It is always fun to talk to someone about the gallery and about art and how it is made and marketed.  Good luck Jeff with your paper.
