Chicken Feed

This is how i spent my pre-christmas prep time.  I had painted this lady in the 80's i remember, cause it was one my first Acrylic paintings.  Well, not sure why i did it again altho the background is completely different.  In fact the fence is done by scrapping wet paint off with a palette knife.  it worked.  

 

My Bros

I did this in Watercolor recently using a photo from the 90's for reference. . 

I did NOT use AI, did NOT use computer aids, did NOT use a projector, did NOT use tracing paper, 

 I DO know how to draw " FREE HAND".  I know that is an old term in the art world. 

Any way, I love it. 

 

Lilies R red

I really stretched my watercolor tactics on these.  reference was a photo i took (in the 90's)  of Carl's flowers.   Painted using Cad Red, Carmine and Gamboge pigment for the lilies.  decided to leave the background white ..background on photo was really dark, almost black..   ugh
