more "green girl"...

so I worked on her a little bit more today..and I still see something I want to change..i'm hoping to enter this into randy higby's 6x6 show..i missed it last year and I still have time to enter a couple pieces for this year..see if you can tell what I did today...

i had fun today....

6x6 oil on linen panel

 

so I really had fun with this!!..not sure it's done but almost!..i was inspired by a painting I saw in the Churchill hotel in London...I absolutely fell in love with this painting of a young man..but very oddly colored...lots of green in the shadows..but it worked somehow!...so this is my attempt at that color palatte...it took me the whole afternoon but I had so much fun!..trying to get the skin tones right with hints of surrounding colors..i will revisit this tomorrow and repost..see if you can notice the small differences...

a great big magnolia..

30x30 oil on gallery wrap canvas

 

so it's been a while...we've been back and forth to the lake so much this summer..and I HAVE been painting..mostly for the new gallery up there..i will post a few of those pics if I can determine that i actually photographed them!!  MEANWHILE....back at the ranch...I did a bit of painting over this weekend..this is one of the large ones..a really big magnolia!!..loved doing it!..
