This painting is getting to have a lot of layers!  And it's still in progress...

More progress on the fruit still life...

Here is an update on the new still life painting!

A couple of the colors that I'm using, are Hansa Yellow Light, and Transparent Red Iron Oxide.  These paints are transparent and help to produce some interesting color effects.  They sort of seem to glow!

The orange uses Cadmium Yellow Medium and Cadmium Red Light.  (The shadowy area includes some Transparent Red Iron Oxide).  The Cadmiums are classic mineral colors, and are not transparent, but they do mix a very nice, clean orange color!

This is the early phase of my current still life painting!

More and more, I like to mix colors directly on the support, rather than on the palette.  The painting process is more free-flowing that way, I think.

Look what I found at the grocery store today!

Boo Berry and Frankenberry are hard to find sometimes!  I guess they're brought back for Halloween.  There isn't much nutrition in these boxes, to put it mildly, but I can hardly resist buying them.  There's something about blue and pink cereal that is creatively inspiring.   General Mills knew how to appeal to kids (and me), when they made these cereals.  

Here's an image that I created, using acrylic and digital paint.  :)

This is an early stage of a new painting.  It's the painting that Bruce walked across, but the paw print is no longer visible.    :)

I'll post it again later, to show more progress.

Just finished a new painting!

Acrylic on canvas board, 5" x 7".

My cat, Bruce, just walked across a wet painting.  I guess I'm not the only one here who thinks he's an artist!    :)

I made some adjustments to this painting, and now consider it done!

Here is another peek at my current painting!   :)

I'm working on a new painting.  These photos show how it has progressed.  I'll post another update soon!
