Bath House, DP #20



"Bath House", oil on canvas, 8"x10".

This is a scene in Bath, Maine.  The buildings are old and beautiful.  It was painted outdoors ("en plein aire) in one sitting, wet in wet ("alla prima").  I was interested in the color and the shadow and finding the light.

Radishes on Blue Background", DP #12



"Radishes on Blue Background" was painted after the leaves wilted.  Still interesting to me.  The rule is to always paint objects in odd numbers. They say it makes for a more interesting composition than even numbers.  Yesterday's post almost had an even number of radishes until a dot of an extra radish was inserted.  

This still life was painted in oil on canvas.  It measures 4"x6".

Radishes On Green Plate, DP #11



"Radishes on Green Plate" is a 5"x7" oil on canvas.  Radishes are so beautiful in the market.  Also Pears.  I love to bring them to the studio to paint.  The tricky part is getting them done before the leaves all wilt.

The small still life paintings are done from set ups in the studio using natural light.  Tricky in the winter, but better now it is almost spring.
