Secret Painting

Psst! Finished a new one last night, but can't show you yet!

Rooster

Not for sale.
6x6", oil on panel.

In the midst of the holiday madness, I managed to paint this guy last night. Happy holidays, everyone! My daily paintings will be sporadic for the next month, due to the holidays and a commission I'm starting.

Fabulous Shoe (Sold)

6x6", oil on panel

Finished! It's not cool to be materialistic, but shoes are a major source of weakness for me. Especially when they look like this one...

In progress...

Tomatoes on velvet pillow (SOLD)

6x6", oil on panel

Oranges and reds are my favorite colors, but they are also the hardest to photograph (esp. at midnight) ...

Habaneros (Sold)

6x6", oil on masonite panel

These bad boys will put a hurt on your tastebuds! That's why nature made them this color, I think. I caught one of my cats trying to EAT these when I turned my back for a minute (cats are color blind). He would have been crying for days.

This is only my fourth daily painting, but I'm starting to see an improvement already. It's been a while since I've painted alla prima, and I've never painted this small before, so it's been a little tricky.

Blue Mug (Sold)

6x6", oil on masonite panel

Coral Lipstick (sold)

6x6", oil on masonite panel

As you can see by its unused condition, this is not my favorite shade! Pretty to paint though. I'll definitely be doing more beauty-related items, as soon as I get through with all of the fruits & veg that Phil bought specifically for me to paint.

Poblano (Available)

6x6", oil on panel.

Here's my very first daily painting! My boyfriend and I LOVE spicy food, and poblanos are always on hand in our kitchen. They are so delectable, especially when stuffed with goat cheese...
