A Roman Bridge, oil painting

Recently completed oil painting of a bridge in Rome, Italy from a photograph we made while there some years ago. This image had come and gone in my mental file and in my photograph album often. ( Actually, it is still in both places.) It just had to be painted. This bridge goes over the river Tiber and is lined with statues that really hold your attention.

Thanks for looking.

new oil painting, Amaryllis

I know that I have been absent from posting for a few weeks but I am painting.

The Roman scene that I have been working on is still wet. I look at it and ask "What else do you need?" Maybe, I can post it in the next week.

In the meantime, here is a painting in oil that I did of my Amaryllis. I love them because they bloom without any begging and they are fun to paint. The image size is 9 x 12.

Following the Masters, Study of Twachtman

Michelle Burnett is hosting a challenge blog where the artists paint from a photograph of a painting done by a Master.

I enjoy the art of John Henry Twachtman who lived 1853-1902. He did a painting that he simply called Landscape 1889. This is my rendition of that painting.

Pennsylvania Farm, watercolor, DSFDF challenge

The challenge from Karin Jurick this two weeks was a farm. Karin posted the photograph in black and white and we could invent the color. That is a challenge that I like.

WIP palette knife painting, Looking to the mountain

This is a 5 x 7 oil painting done working in plein air, looking toward the mountain on which I live.
Being a work in progress at this time because my time lately has been taken up with having cataract surgery. It is so interesting how clear things are these days.....someone asked if my painting style would change. I replied that I didn't think so. My style has been like this for as long as I have been painting.
And so .....I will be back at those brushes and paints very soon.

Today's Flowers, Watercolor, Yupo,

For a long time, I have liked the watercolor style of Charles Reid, especially his florals. That is the style that I am inspired to paint. It is rare for me to paint a flower that is specific.

And being specific when painting on Yupo "paper" is not required of me. This synthetic watercolor paper which is 100% polypropylene has a mind of its own.

Fall on the Lake,

As I went through some of the paintings in my studio today, I decided to post this pastel. Some of the colors just sang out to me....if colors could sing.
And,,,I will share with you that last week, I had cataract surgery. And colors are fantastic.
Someone asked me if my paintings will change. I don't believe so because my early paintings are colorful. Maybe, I am a colorist. Thanks for checking what I am doing. I am always glad to share with you.
