Chelsea,portrait,oil,16x12,priceNFS

Geranium #6,still life,oil on linen,10x8,price$200

This is the 6th geranium that I've painted in the last couple of weeks. I see so many different greens in the leaves. It is fun for me. But I think I'll try some other subject tomorrow.

April Geranium,still life,oil on canvas,10x8,price$200

Today I painted one of my geranium plants with a white background.I've been having fun with these paintings. Last night I returned to our long pose figure group and painted Chelsea. I haven't been there since November. So a dark background went up behind our model and no spotlight. No light except the Fluorescent light over head and a green light by the door. No spot light makes for a figure with no form, just flat. So I did the best I could painting Chelsea. I will suggest that we try the spot light again in a couple of weeks.
