Painting Maggie again

I can't believe the last entry was in April!! Oops - we need to get back to posting. I've only been looking at this canvas for 2 years and finally decided to paint some more on it. Tried using the medium from Daniel Smith and really like it. I think a little more work on this and it will finally be finished. I'll post all three photos (hopefully in the right order) since it's been so long.

Friday's Painting Session

Painting Challenge

To get us painting again we decided to try one of the challenges posted on http://www.dailypaintworks.com/. We started with Carol Marine's German Landscape. Jane and I started with copying Carol's piece to work on brush strokes and color. Pam worked from the photograph. On the second piece, Pam and Gay worked from the photograph (much harder!). Here are our results.

Jane's New Show

Jane's show "The Season of Winter" opened at the Copper Quail Gallery in Silver City on Friday.

La Biznaga show

Rosa with her dog

This is the finished version. I put up the show in La Biznaga on March 1 and we had a reception on the 4th. It was really fun.

Man in the corn

Almost finished but wanted to see if my fellow painters had any helpful hints.

Man in the corn

I have been working on this. Trying to add detail to the corn. I have yet to rework the man who needs work.

Today's Painting Session

This is the display at the Copper Quail for this month of my paintings. All are old ones. I'm working on a new set that will be up for a show in March. This little gallery is really a nice little "gift shop" and not really a "Fine Arts Gallery" but it is a start and motivates me to keep painting. I'm headed down there now to "gallery sit".

More Starts with Paint

Second Day

This is my beginning still life of Persimmons with Blue Bowl. I did an underpainting with Grumbacher Red, Cad Orange, and Lemon Yellow. I'm still working of the photographing. I'm determined to add to the Blog as I enjoy both of your entries so very much
