Yellow Tulips 1


When I got together with Jane last week, we felt we needed to just get back into the feel of painting without thinking too much so we picked small paintings to copy. This one started out as one of Julian's daffodils but when I got home I bought some tulips and painted them in. I'm going to do another one of the tulips with a light background. I'm interested in practicing on the hard shiny quality of glass along side the soft edges of the flowers. I'm going to have to work on a better arrangement of leaves in the next one.

Wilson's Dog


This is the final version (I hope) of the dog I started weeks ago.

The Harvester


This is a sketch for a bigger painting.  I wanted to work out the color palette.  I am still considering other options for the clothing of the women in the background.
