Two Sunflowers oil painting.


Spring is almost here, it is getting warmer.  This inspired me to paint two sunflowers. I painted them on canvas pad.  The paint is rather thick in areas. I enjoyed this stilllife quite a bit. 

 

Woman Oil Painting


I was sketching on my oil canvas pad and did this painting. I used blue, black, and white oil paint.  I painted the background hot pink with acrylic paint.  I belive it is 12" x 9".  I have been sick for a few weeks and did this as a warm up.  There are a few more warm up paintings, not sure if I will post them.

I hope I start painting more regular now.  Work is becoming busy and time is valuable.

A.I. Assimilated Art Painting

I have seen many jobs that were replaced by computers during my life.  If someone told me twenty years ago that artists would be replaced by computers, I would have laughed.  Well here it is, it is becoming more of a problem every day.  The Digital Rembrants are everywhere.  Typing a few phrases into a computer and art is generated for you.    

What will be left in twenty years for people to do?  I've lived my life and grew up computer free and I am very thankful. I really can't comprehend a life without human creativity, flaws, mistakes, and accidental discoveries.  When will we be obsolete ?  

P.S. - I don't care about spelling errors.  I am Human !!!!

Glass of Beer Oil Painting

I painted this Saturday Evening.  I had a blank canvas so I painted this.  I really enjoy painting with oils, they are very vibrant. I have another blank canvas but no ideas.  Hope to paint soon.

Acrylic painting using the Apple Barrel Craft paints

You don't need expensive acrylic paints to get started painting.  I used some of my cheap acrylic craft paints to make these.  The flowers were painted on cedar board.  The landscape was painted on gessoed paper.

Beer Glass Acrylic Painting.

I put 4 coats of gesso on some watercolor paper, then painted this.  I wanted to offset the glass and not center it.  I feel it gives the painting a better look.  There are hints of hot pink paint to suggest a neon sign in the bar.  I think I will paint this soon in oils, just to see the differences.  

I painted this Friday night, I was thinking of going to the local watering hole.  lol.
