Sharon's Pond II

This was painted this morning alongside a small pond

in a neighborhood filled with large trees and wildlife.

Beautiful spot in the middle of the city of Tulsa.

Painted on gessoed masonite, 9" x 12".

Rose Garden, Woodward Park, Tulsa

This is an oil 8" x 10" on gessoed mdf board with an orange 

underpainting. I really have to pay attention to keeping

things "loose" but accurate and I'm afraid it got away

from me in a couple of areas. But when I left the garden,

it was 99.9% done. I did add a few of the roses and highlights

on the water after arriving home.

Nice day today. Wish I could do this every day.

My grand daughter. Her brother Will is next. As soon

as I finish his portrait, their cousin Claire will

follow. I don't do many portraits and they aren't easy

for me but these three grandchildren make it absolutely

necessary to at least try. They are the age that makes

it a challenge but fun.
