11-26-2022 - Mandarin and Bottles

 

Today's effort... I was cleaning up yesterday, and saw how the leaves had dried on this mandarin. Might not make sense, but we had an assignment in school where I had to draw a "hot" E... This one sort of embodied "fast" to me..I dug it! So it's shown here paired with some new bottles. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

As always, thanks for looking.

11-24-2022 - Mandarin with Leaves

 

Snuck out early this morning to find something to paint. Was thinking flowers, but was quite happy to find a few mandarins with leaves. Rare thing seeing produce with leaves in my area! This was a fun little sketch.

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday! As always, thanks for looking.

11-20-2022 -- Mushrooms

 

I've picked up mushrooms, a couple of times lately... Today I actually sat down to work while I watched the World Cup's opening game.  I had fun with these.  Can't say I saw much of the game, though I listened intently.

Looking forward to the game tomorrow!  With my schedule I don't know how many I'll get to take in.  I'm glad it's here and that the U.S. is in it again!  Until next time.. Thanks for looking!

11-13-22 -- Wires

 

I've been thinking about painting this for a while now. Had a super early start this morning, so I finally had a chance to sit with it. Managed to finish as the sunrise began to pour in through the windows. It was a nice quiet moment.

This arrangement hit me as odd, almost a self portrait really. When I noticed it, I was struck by the fact that I never got around to hiding the wires. For a little back story, the tv was a purchase from Offer Up... At the time, I was so interested in making sure it worked, that I simply never got around to cleaning up! This was right after lock-down, so it's been a minute ha! Anyway, the more I looked, the more I liked the soft sweeping quality of the wires against the hard edged flat-pack furniture. I found it interesting how the big shapes broke up the picture plane I had in my mind. Even the shadows felt important, they repeated the forms and almost acted like a gentle echo. I've probably lost you by now... But I dig it! Hope you will too. Until next time, thanks for looking!
