Southern Painter: Mom's Place

Mom's Place

couldn't resist this old home place. This is not far from our home - a theme of mine you've probably noticed. I enjoy the common, the nearby, the places we see day after day. One day the sun shines and lights up our world in a different way, and voila! the ordinary becomes exceptional. Made a new friend while I painted this scene from down the road.

It's a beautiful painting, Robin, and such an inviting porch. Don't know why, the more I look, the more I like ...? Maybe because I like similar things.

What a lovely painting this is, Robin--I feel a strong pull to this place, one of those paintings that gives me an "I want to BE there" feeling. The tonal and color balance is beautiful; I especially like the strong red and its softer echoes against the gentle greens. I have enjoyed browsing all your recent posts and particularly like both versions of Chapel Garden.

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.
