Bike and Shed 8/21 Sold at Gallery 4

Painted this using the bike sketch i did for a workshop a long time ago.. i like that is is minimal. i only used 3 pigments ..  Burnt Sienna,  Phthalo Blue and cad orange..  i have my acrylics sorted in plastic bags.. one for reds, one for yellows and one for blues.  i just reached into each and picked a color.. Used white of course, but what fun to mix these colors..  Canvas was painted purple first...
August 25 '21..  sold this today at the Gallery.  that makes 20 paintings I have sold this year.  Be still O my heart.. ha.

Alaska, at it's best: 7-13-20 SOLD at Gallery 4

I used a photo that was taken in 1996, by either me or my son, Matt, as reference.    I LOVE how it turned out with the colors i used.  I loved seeing the glaciers when we visited Alaska.  The ice was clear as glass in some places and gray as dust in others.  I really feel the atmosphere of AK in this.
     I wonder how much it has melted since 1996.

In The Cups

The HAGS (Hjemkomst Art Group) all painted cups inspired by a Bob Burridge video we watched.. what fun to see them all together in our display case ...

Cormorant "Get-Across" Gifted to Owen

So, the Cormorant art club members had a painting challenge this month.  Of course, i love it when there is a challenge of sorts.  Not sure if there will be an exhibit of the finished works or not.  Only a few members stepped up.  I enjoyed painting this acrylic using minimal palette. Those are rocks, not snowballs.
