Cow 9

The cow is the perfect subject, a go to if you don't know what to paint. I really wanted to try doing soft colour  which for me is a challenge.  I just kept mixing similar tones.  I like the outcome. 

Where's my ball?

The more I paint the more I love to paint.  In the last week I have completed 4 commissions, each one a complete joy to do.  It has been a year since I joined DPW, it was the best thing I did this year, it has motivated me to keep painting. I was very nervous to put myself out there,  I have  had nothing but great comments and support from customers and fellow artists.  In the last couple of months I can definitely see an improvement in my painting and my self confidence as an artist.

Was it something I did?

This is a commission.  I got some really great photos from the owner.  I added bits of cobalt to brighten up the painting.

So much fun doing this painting...eventually.  I started it yesterday and was going to toss it this morning, my husband actually said that it looked evil...yikes.  I took one last look at it when I woke up and thought I will bring it to the studio and try to breathe some life and personality into it...voila.  I am so pleased it didn't go into the dead canvas pile.

I'm in charge

Another commission, this is the first time I have painted a chocolate lab.  I am really pleased with the colours, now that I am just using the primaries to mix I am starting to really enjoy adding a hint of paint to make another shade that seems to work right into the existing colour.

I'm yours
