This is a layout drawing for a Yellow Rose, a Dragonfly and a Ladybug.  The layout drawing is executed in Sanguine Conte’ Crayon.  The finished artwork will be matted 8 x 10 format.  The paper I’m working on is Strathmore Mixed-Media, very smooth texture, 184# stock, gray toned (I really like that) and is in a glued binding, so very easy to
Remove from the pad. 👏👍🤩😃

This is the first pass of colors over the layout drawing.  The Bees Wax Medium is mixed in a ratio of 1:1 and you can thin the paint medium mixture with Odorless Turps.  The Bees Wax will make the colors deeper and matte in appearance - I really like that.  Also, it gives the paint a fuller buttery consistency - that’s really cool to experience.  I have been lately looking at a lot of artwork by Alfonse Mucha, J.C. Leyendecker and Frederick Smith.  These gentlemen were prominent artists/illustrators of the late 20’s through the 40’s.  A big Shout out to Michael, who I have been exchanging wonderful conversations with regarding self portraits done by female artists of this era.  Michael you gave me the push I needed to try something new. Thank you so much👍🤩💕❤️😃

It's definitely a challenge to let go and just be free with abstracts! My abstract always look different than what I have in in mind when I first start them!

I've been doing a lot of abstracts lately! So fun to do. This one is made with acrylics and modeling paste for the texture.

The last of the Burnt Umber Underpainting has been covered.  The painting is now at approximately point where I can begin fine tuning the Colors, Accents, adding Highlights and reflections on the water surface

This is where my great-grandmother lived in Honeyville, Utah. I have memories of visiting a few times when I was little. It's a dairy farm and I strongly remember the smell of the cows. 🐄 🎨

Work-In-Progress of a 18”x24” oil painting showing a foggy forest

My current work-in-progress: 18"x24" oil painting of a foggy, closed-in forest.

Was originally going for a darker forest but the bright mist in the distance has stuck, and it does seem to make a good contrast.

Shown today on @artbychichi.com 's fun art share stream!
