"Bathed in Light" 8" x 10" oil on canvasboard (NFS)Now, my understanding of the difficulty lies in 'that' rendering of the masterpiece, to be good enough to pass for what it's supposed to be, yet - to paint it in a way so as not to distract MY viewer from my intended focal point, which is the viewer of the art piece, my daughter/granddaughter. (Did I make that clear, hmmm.) One thing I learned about pseudo-abstract 'Picasso hands', is they are easier than realistic hands! The hands on these women are large and very masculine.
Maybe it turned out so well, because I used my new Guerilla box set-up. It's very cool! It lets me rest my painting arm on the box - for those steadying moments on smaller canvas. Hot diggity!

Hey Pattie. That's a great painting. And I bet it was great to see the art first hand. I'd be cool to make a painting of all the masterpieces with a family member next to it. Show more pics of the chickens.
Just browsing through blogs, and came upon your site. I am in awe of your talent. Beautiful work!
I don't paint, or sketch, other than silly little attempts that never amount to anythng other than an embarrassment should anyone else actually see them LOL. My Mother has some talent in that area, and three of my children seem to have inherited it to some point. Maybe it skips a generation?
I lived in Salina, Dodge City, and a tiny little place called Offerle many years ago. The living was interesting, somehow different than where I had grown up, more challenging, and we found the people to be more self sufficient. I rather liked that. Wasn't so crazy about the stormy weather though, especially the tornadoes and such. I do have to say, they added a certain level of excitement to the whole experience though! LOL
Mark, will add more chickens tonight. You should paint them, they are fun, and I give my permission to use my chicken photos. My son-in-law works at MOMA. I still haven't seen it all.
Thanks Kim's Mom for your kind comments. You must have it in your blood, if you lived in Kansas at one time. You KNOW what goes on, weatherwise and peoplewise! I will bet you have untapped talent, you don't know about.
How great to be able to star your daughter and her baby in one of your paintings.
Excellent job; looks like you learned from that workshop.
