Progress Shots

This canvas was painted grey to cover up the old painting underneath.


I drew on the picture in light yellow to start and then added more colors as I went.


I was able to bring in a little bit of the shadows.


I concentrated on yellow as that is what was mixed on my palette. I hate wasting paint and once its mixed, that's it. I have a few hours to finish it because it will be half solidified by the next day and I never use that because you get clumps and bits.


This is where I will always stop a painting, having the base colors done. 
The next part of the process is starting over and going over the entire painting again. I really wish I was one of those painters who can knock a painting out in a few hours and it looks amazing.

You've Got Mail

I managed to take photos the other day before I sent off a 6" by 6" panel. I thought that a few might be interested in how I try to make sure that you're artwork gets to you unscathed.  Before I do any wrapping, I make sure that all the information is on the back of your purchased art piece. Title, medium, size, Artists name (because my signature is impossible to decipher). Also I print an inventory number which will look something like 026.2018. 1. I wrap all boards/canvases in wax paper. There will be no smudging on my watch. 2. Bubblewrap comes next as I do not want corners dinged.    3. Tissue paper is the third wrap. This is a gift for you or someone you love and I  want you to feel like it's a present when you open it. 4. Inside your envelope you will find:  A Thank You card - because it's important for you to know that you are appreciated.  Two business cards for you to share with others Your invoice and receipt  One
