I've been so busy gardening, etc. with the change of season and a desire to be outside that I felt quite rusty back in the studio again! However, this cute little palm plant inspired me to set up a still life. I also had the desire to get my oils back out again. It felt good to be painting again. This was certainly fun to do and I learned much about handling the medium from this exercise.
My painting is primarily transparent pigments - lots of glowing qualities in those. I also worked very thin and enjoyed the luscious ability of blending colors together - really scrubbing quite a bit. The 12" x 9" hard panel made a wonderful support to do so.
Next I'd like to do another architectural piece - perhaps this time in oils for a change.

Hello, I have just discovered your blog. I really like your architectural paintings. I publish Tulsa Gentleman and Historic Tulsa and have posted photographs of a lot of Tulsa's buildings. It is fun to see them rendered by an artist. Keep it up/
Thank you TG - yes - I've seen your blog, very nice. PS - you can see several of the paintings in person at Pearl Gallery through May 20.
