Sunny Rose

acrylic on panel
sold

This is my submission to this week's the "Artist's Choice Challenge" on DPW. The objective is to paint something that is a challenge for the artist. I have many but I would have to say the values and subtleties of color with roses are always a challenge.

My niece Aimee has always been generous with her photographic skills and her kids! Aimee is truly creative. We collaborated on a children's book this last year; "My FIFO Daddy" . It is geared toward families who have parents that "fly in and fly out" to remote mining posts in Australia.

You can see some of Aimee's photography by clicking here.

I am hosting the weekly challenge on dailypaintworks.com.

Cows

acrylic on panel
sold

Sometimes when I am working on a larger painting that is taking time, I have to take a break and paint something small, fast and furious. I loved the light and dark pattern the reference photo had (morgueFile.com).

Zoe and Moe

10x10

This is one of my latest commissions. I love painting eyes and capturing or trying to capture the reflection. It is like frosting on a cake!

Happy 4th of July!
