A COOL PLACE

"Canyon's End Pool" 9x12, oil. Ahhhhhh this was a cool place to be painting in July. This little sketch just took about an hour. I was standing by a footbridge over this little creek in North Carolina. The creek led to a lovely sheltered spot to rest and relax. I have thought about it many times through the August heat. We survived! Today a gaggle of Robins and Cardinals arrived in our yard, taking advantage of the north winds, so I know fall is on its way.......

$425, framed in gold
email southernpainter@hotmail.com for purchase

Schedule a Workshop for your group

Painting Your Vision Workshop No matter what level is current in your oil painting, its time to step up to the next level. This workshop is designed to add interest in texture and design, emphasize brushwork and edges, and explore new additions to paint techniques. We do this by using traditional methods of direct or alla prima painting, which simply means all we can accomplish in a session using rich paint to make sophisticated edges. We will explore different surfaces that affect the look of an oil painting. And we will use a simple color mixing exercise to give confidence in value and mixing the color you need. Bring your references or use my photos. Demonstrations will give suggestions to add something new to your oil paintings and painting time to bring it all together.
