studio

Tidying and puttering in studio, made these two little paintings of different views in the room.

amaryllis

                            8x10

Still trying the amaryllis. This was a quick study, no drawing.

It's almost in full bloom now.

And below: finished this one. I like the cloths and the Matisse "Red Onions" postcard copy but I wish I had left out the cup and oranges.

The painting above was an assignment for a class: paint a painting within a painting. After finishing the more elaborate one above. I turned and did this quick sketch of a part of a wall in my studio.

sampler

                               6x12

.                               11x16

Really struggling with the amaryllis, so instead I started painting a scrap of cloth I have. It was pretty relaxing.

Thinking three or four of these might look nice framed together, like a sampler.

still life

                            16x16

Working on a still life with an interesting cloth I've acquired and a postcard of Matisse's "Red Onions."

Most decisions are made, but I thought I might need something more in the foreground. Ideally I'd have figured this out before starting, but sometimes you can't see what it needs till you get there. Or I can't anyway.

I drew, painted, and cut out some orange peels and placed them around ...

Not sure what I'm going to do yet.
