Still Life with Plate

This was one of my first still lifes that I painted after I took a hiatus after graduation. I like the color but I really struggled with the drawing and getting the freehand circles and proportions correct.

Shiny Study

Here's the other painting I completed in the acrylics workshop. I spent so much time trying to get the shiny stuff right that I almost completely ignored the foreground.

Apples

I've been scanning in some slides that I made of my artwork over the years, so thought I'd share some of them. This was done in two-day acrylics workshop. It was my first introduction to acrylics and how they could be used to make realist paintings on canvas. My previous experience with them had been limited to geometric designs for composition classes.

Gravity

Here's my first Illustration Friday entry, done in Painter.

Lucy

Here's a portrait I did last year of my brother's dog.

Squash

Here's a still life I did a few years ago. I like the loose brushstrokes and heightened color I used. I love painting decorative squash.

Onion

Here's a painting I did a long time ago. I like trying to paint white items.
