"Painted Lady" portrait of my sister in oil


Believe I have finished this one, but for the sig. Really love the way this turned out, and plan to do more portraits as a result. Allowing the raw sienna underpainting to show thru adds some interest, as does the pose I chose.

Title: "Painted Lady"
Size: 14"x11" oil on wrapped, stretched linen.

Tree study with yellow ochre on linen


Studying structure, value and pigments. Pleased with the yellow ochre used here, in addition to raw sienna, burnt sienna, pthalo blue, chromatic black and flake white. A limited palette helps to establish a baseline for the values, and I feel I have made some progress in my description of trees with a brush. About 10"x8" oil on loose linen taped to a board. bargain priced at $80.00 for the holidays.
