Pint of blueberries by original artist Debbie Shirley. She has a fantastic website full of New England nostalgia.
Blue Jay at fountain from a tutorial by Art Sherpa, now sadly deceased.
Dog and Squirrel by Ginger Cook (Art Sherpa’s mom). I gave this to my mom in memory of Violet (a beagle that she dog sat for many years).
From Florida artist Jane Slivka. This type of ‘loose’ painting is very new and difficult for me. Working on it. I love how she encourages the background colours to peek out.
Purple bike for Val. Based on a piece by Sarah Lyttle (her bike was white and had a person on it). The shadows aren’t great but I have to stop fussing with paintings at some point.
This is Violet the beagle, based on a piece by Tatjana Cechun from Art Majeur. It is nearly finished – I have to be brave enough to do the whiskers (definitely procrastinating on that). I’ll give this to Violet’s mom.
Cow From a video by Annie Troe (she loves animals and paints them so well).
Tortoise hatching from tutorial by Art Sherpa.
Owl from a video by Annie Troe. I just can’t quite get this one to my complete liking so he’ll have to do for now.
Trembling aspen fall colour based on a photo by Phillip Colla. I took out a lot of the other leaves that were in the photo so I’m sort of proud of myself for trying to have a better eye.
While it may seem vain to post all these paintings, it really just helps me become better at this skill. I do have a few original pieces but they are not ready for showing quite yet. Happy painting.
