Radishes

 

Radishes
8" x 16" Oil on Panel
Painting from life.
These are called Easter Egg Radishes...fun to paint, but I am not a big fan of their taste.  The greens wilted on me as I painted them in the studio under a light.
This painting is drying in the studio...thanks for looking, Kay

Abundance

 

Abundance
16" x 20" Oil on Linen
Day #17 Strada Easel Challenge
Loose brushstrokes, thick oils, harmonious colors - it all fell together at my easel for the daily paint challenge of painting from life.  A small arrangement of alstroemeria was my subject matter for this painting.  I painted this one alla prima in about 4 hours in the studio.  It was fun and exciting to paint this bunch of petals.  Thanks for looking at my blog!  Kay

Day 16 - White Rock Lake

Thanks for looking, Kay

Day 15 Strada Easel Challenge

 


This little corduroy double breasted coat was hanging in one of my granddaughter's closet.  Painting on a small 6" x 6" panel was a challenge.  My next painting will be on a larger canvas!  Thanks for looking at my art.  Contact Kay with any questions or comments.  KMW
