"Geraniums in the Window Box"
"Geraniums in the Window Box"
oil, 12x16"
This painting is painted on a cradled panel, can be hung
with or without a frame.
I love painting red geraniums and this one had many. I also enjoy painting
what I is see in my mind without the whole composition
in front of me.
I saw geraniums in a window box, with an old window. I added the
valance later on, the top seemed to be empty without it.
A challenge for sure.
I was really happy with this piece!

"Varnish Brush"
"Varnish Brush"
oil, 10x8"
I enjoy painting tin cans, their like a mirror reflecting images
that surround them.
I usually use a sponge to varnish my paintings, the ones at Home Depot
I found to be the best, they leave a nice smooth finish. I get a bit lazy
when it comes to cleanup, I varnish quite a few paintings at the same time, then
toss it. I also use water bottle caps taped on my palette for my
medium, Liquin original, if there is some left over I put it in a sealed
container until the next sitting. I try to think of anything that makes life
a tad easier.
