Another look at Wildwood.

I'm about to start another 12 x 12" landscape of Wildwood Lake sanctuary.  
This is a reference I'm going to use. Already digitally modified to suit my needs. I'm going to start from some sketching and then work with watermedia underpainting. Then it will be time for pastels. Perhaps I can start on it this evening, if that very TV in the living room ever will go off. 
And guess what?... few hours later mission is accomplished!

"Majesty". Oil Pastel on Canvas Board. Finished!

"Majesty".

12 x 16"  Oil  Pastel on canvas board

I was very not happy with my Oil pastels and this board, because of length of drying time and not enough adhesion to support... But I finished it, let it plenty of time to dry and put 3 coats of Golden varnish on it. I think experiment with varnish was very successful. So after all it was not totally wasted time and art supply. I will do another one on canvas only this time will put another primer over regular gesso. Hopefully it will make my work more easy and enjoyable.

"Apple & Oranges". WIP. And another update.

"Apple & Oranges".

 11 x 8.5"  Pastel on La Carte.

I Think I'm so ready just to shake all the dust of, tape it to another board, put it on my easel and just carefully finish it it vertical position. Something tells me I can adjust my lights better this way and I'll have more room for those pastels without dropping downs another (or the same one) box.

"Apple & Oranges". WIP. Another update.

"Apple & Oranges".

 11 x 8.5"  Pastel on La Carte.

Some more playing with the same Still Life. Mostly did some work on background, touch up on that apple and lots of Unisons on oranges... I LOVE that "Special Collection" from unison. Sweet poison of cadmiums and cobalts is looking so good!

 11 x 8.5"  Pastel on La Carte.

Got to work some more on this Still Life. Trying some new strokes and ideas on it... Weird!... But there is a something about it... So far very limited amount of pastel sticks. few Holbeins, few Giraulds and 2-3 Unisons from so called "Special Collection" Few pencils too. fun! too bad I still only have one more piece of La Carte. Should get more sometime soon.

"Apple & Oranges". Pastel WIP

"Apple & Oranges".

 11 x 8.5"  Pastel on La Carte.

Finally have my monitor set-up waaay away from my computer (it works simply great!)
Starting my new project. Another Still Life and this time from my own reference (to be honest "reference is all long gone, but a plate...
It would be a total enjoyment, if forget about the fact that night before I managed to drop my favorite box of pastels and nearly killed it... Took about an hour to collect all the bits and pieces.
Hopefully I will continue with this painting tomorrow.

"Gallerie 13" January reception.

"Gallerie 13" January reception went great! Good music, nice company and many-many beautiful paintings and pictures and even some small things what you just can not ignore - artist note cards, beaded jewelries and much more. We all had a great time and I even managed to refresh some of my paintings and brought few new ones in. Above - some of my art works on the right and Cove Creek Photography prints on the left.

Some updates on Blossom show.

Today I finished re-framing of "Awakening" before shipping it down to FL. I love this new frame, it is just what I wanted for this painting. Still need to pack it, label it and tomorrow out it goes. It will be a first time when i have to ship out one of my bigger paintings (other then miniature), what makes me worry a little. I should see it again next month during our trip to Naples to see the reception of

BLOSSOM II - ART OF FLOWERS 2010 International juried exhibition.

New Oil project.

14 x 11"  Oil   on  board

I didn't feel like doing anything what requiring some sort of concentration and simply was messing with some of my oils. Maybe tomorrow will go back to Oil Pastels, hard to say... maybe not. I like to have few started projects at the same time and switch from one to another... General idea - have it all  finished  sooner or later.

"Majesty".Oil Pastel on canvas board. WIP.

"Majesty".

12 x 16"  Oil  Pastel on canvas board

Just another something I'm currently working on. I'm giving a test to new solvent (Gamsol) and Canvas Board what I normally do not use for my oil pastels. I'm not sure yet how I like it - combination of OPs, this particular support and solvent, but some things are working better then others. I'm not very happy with drying process, canvas board is not very absorbing. But I'll make final judgment when I'm finished with it. So far have to let it dry and go back to my roses.
