Southern Painter: A BREAK IN THE RAIN

A BREAK IN THE RAIN

Columns 14x11, framed in gold, $495

A ha! A sunny morning! I headed out by 7:15 this morning to paint on location. It rained "rivers" last night, so the sunny morning surprised me. The Delano Rose Garden here in Decatur is always an easy choice for painting. Wish you could have smelled the roses. These hydrangeas were showing off in the morning sun. By 9am the sun had gone away, and returned to our usual overcast weather for the last month. It will look better when I straighten the columns!

This one would be something nice for your home.

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.
