I eat the other half.  I should have posted this yesterday but I got caught up in tying up loose ends.

Boat House

8x10"

Oil on Hardboard

I've been wanting to do this one for a while now.  This boat house is in Florida and the sun setting behind it just struck me.  I stayed really loose and just dabbed the colors into the piece.

I love how this one came out.  I still need to work on contrast and values.  Above all I need to slow down.

Tokkuri

5x7"

Oil on canvas board

This sake setup had a lot of dynamics going.  Being glazed on the upper two thirds of the bottle and also ribbed to some point made for an interesting session.

The Daily Apple

The lighting is a bit on the hot side of things.  But I like the overall outcome.

Roma tomatoes setting up the Maypole.  I stayed rather loose on this and focused on blocking in color.

Crystal & Shell

8x10"

Oil on hardboard

This one took some time coming together but I like the overall feel.  I'm still wrestling with the oil medium a bit given how long it has been since I picked up a brush.

Tea Pot & Fruit

5x6"

Acrylic on foam core board

My wife was given this tea pot from a client of hers.  All ceramic and interesting in the fact that it is entirely hand sculpted.  Funny thing is that it is not functional.  Just a beautifully sculpted art piece.

Martini Shaker

Acrylic on foam core board

I have always loved working in acrylic paint due to its quick drying properties.  But I also love the challenge of oil painting.  It is very demanding but rewarding.  I like how this one turned out.
