Demonstration

This painting was painted in a class situation with

using a strong pink underpainting. I wanted to show

how the object and surroundings would look with

the pink helping the color saturation. I left some of

the pink underpainting showing around the edges

to be able to see the effect. It's a simple apple

with highlights and this took about a half hour. It's

oil on canvas paper pad and the oil paint was applied

in a very thin wash with the highlight colors

being a bit thicker.

About 7" x 7".

Still Life Study

This was painted in class this morning as

a demo. "Think Masses" was the mantra when

I started this and it moved rather quickly.

Just a highlight here and there after blocking

in the larger areas. Oil on canvas paper pad

11" x 14".

Tulsa Botanical Garden

I spent the afternoon on a beautiful

Saturday on the grounds of the Tulsa

Botanical Gardens, which is an ongoing

development at the moment. When

completed, it should be a showcase of

the natural beauty of Oklahoma in

the Osage hills north of the city.

This is an oil on board, 11" x 14".

I plan to paint at least a half dozen images

on that location through the summer.
