Burnt Out

oil on hardboard 6" x 6"

I haven't done an oil painting for quite awhile
and did this one as a daily painters challenge
of zippo lighters. The only colors we could use
was ultramarine blue, burnt sienna, and white.
The hardest part was painting in those air vent
in the lighter, had to redo them three times
before I was ok with it.
Also working on two watercolors when I have time.

Naked

oil 8" x 10"

An oil painting I've been working on since
this past spring. Still need to tweak some
areas of the painting. This painting was
inspired by those dreams of being naked
and in the "spotlight" and being exposed
and feeling very vulnerable.

"Pinchalo"

oil on hardboard 8" x 10"
NFS

This painting I did for my daughter who
loves Volkswagon Vans. She has always
wanted to buy one, add shag carpet, and
go on a road trip with her girlfriends.
Pinchalo is a nickname for these vans,
which the kids started as a road trip game;
counting to see who would end up with
the most counted.

Hope to develop a more impressionistic
style as I acquire more skill in oils.

"My First Oil Painting"

oil on card stock paper

This is my first oil painting I did when
I was about 11 yrs. old. I was trying to
figure out how oil painters could get the
paints to blend together so well without
having sharp edges between the various
colors and make it look natural. As a
youth I did some paint by number kits
and hated the outcome of the
paintings. Then one day I had an
epiphany...just try blending the two
colors side by side with a brush for a
smoother more blended look. I had
no canvas, so I painted clear nail polish
on card stock paper and this is the result.
The painting held up fairly well for 44 yrs.
