A Bit of Whimsy

Thirty Paintings In Thirty Days - Day 15

A Simple Pear

Acrylic 5"x7" on Canvas

This one was done trying out some textures and colors.  I like how it evolved.  

We are into day15 and I'm behind, but, will keep going and see where I get with these.  I'm hoping by day 30 that a daily painting will be  a snap for me.  :)

Wild Flower Wheel - A Little Corner in the Garden

Acrylic on 9x12 Water Color paper.
This is for a WDE (Weekend Drawing/Painting Event) at WetCanvas. Mary was our Host.

I was drawn to the different shapes objects and greens in this composition.
After laying in another layer of gesso, I blocked in the basic elements in the composition,
darkening the foreground, just laying  a good foundation. with thinned paint.
I then worked on the building layers and basic shapes, leaves, adding thicker paint as I proceeded.
At the end the flowers,  final touches and highlights were added thickly to give texture and dimension..
Thanks for having a look!!!

EVE'S DESIRE APPLE

Thought I would show you some progress steps in another painting I'm about to finish. It has involved lots of glazing, which gives the painting wonderful depth, and helps them come alive.

The last one below - more glazes, doing under layer of highlights, and defining shapes of apples, so they Pop!! Almost done. Few more glazes and colors should do it.



















The Second - Started to add more detail and glazes, and shadows



















The first one, just blocking in the basic colors and shapes. Oh....
the size is 12 x 12 on 2 inch gallery wrapped canvas. You have the option of framing or not with this kind of canvas. Using Acrylics.


















Will let this dry for now.
What do you think, comments welcome.:)
