Aspens and Sunflowers

THINGS I'M WORKING ON

 I just finished this painting as a donation for the 

Presbyterian Healthcare Foundation's event "Laughter is the Best Medicine."

This is a yearly event that I have participated in for at least ten years.

The painting is large, 30x30" and is titled "SUNFLOWERS IN BLOOM."

It will be auctioned off in a silent auction.

Let's hope it makes them lots of money.

This is a painting that is almost finished

and I am showing my beginning process.

It's a 16x12" commission to replicate a painting of mine titled "HIDDEN ASPENS."

I started sketching it in my usual loose paint, but I lost my field of

perspective and didn't want to do a grid line.

Too many tree trunks were making me dizzy!

So I decided to use white acrylic paint as my guideline.

I got it under control, finally.

It is very hard to duplicate the heaviness and somberness of these aspens.

I will show you the finished painting in a few days.
