Daily Oil Paintings

Roses on Drape

8 x 6″ oil paiint on canvas sheet.

More drape practice. Except for the roses, this one was painted from a photo. The previous post was painted from life. Life is always better!

Aqua Vase on Drape

8 x 6″ oil paint on canvas sheet

The vase and white drape I have in my workspace. I am intrigued by the “landscape” created by a pile of cloth, so I practice rendering it from time to time.

Mr. and Mrs. Tiger Finch

6 x 8″ oil paint on canvas sheet

Striking markings on tiny birds begged expression in paint. The male has the orange cheek patch and stripes on the throat. What female could resist?

Coffee Time

8 x 6″ oil paint on canvas sheet

I could relate to this lady’s love for the the java brew…made me smile.

Where to Next?

8 x 6″ oil paint on canvas sheet

Red hair in light is hard to resist. My paintings hopefully note people just being people.
