One More Cup

 
5"x7" Oil on Panel
Palette Knife Painting

One More Cup is a lively, colorful, little painting that I hope will brighten your day.  I've been busy in the studio the past two weeks and have finished three new larger paintings.  I haven't photographed them yet.  I am begining a "Photoshop" class tonight & hopefully I can learn to use their software to do a better job of photographing & editing my paintings.  Wish me luck. 
Thank you for taking a look at my palette knife paintings.
Cheers!

Tall Cup No. 2

Palette Knife Painting

Once I'm in my studio, it usually doesn't take me very long to find something to paint.  This morning I noticed that I had left my coffee cup by the studio sink.  Instead of taking it downstairs to the kitchen, I decided to paint it in some bright cheerful colors.  Yes, I know that I have painted it once before; but after all, it's my favorite.
Thank you for viewing my blog.

Tipsy Cup

Hello Everyone & Happy 2012!

This new year represents a new beginning & I have started posting to my blog again.  As an artist, I have taken some time off to review my artistic activities & habits & how they correlate with my goals.  My passion for creating paintings with the palette knife has not changed.  However, I will not be producing as many spontaneous small paintings.  I will be spending more time planning & designing larger pieces.  I would dearly love to produce & post a small painting each day but that would not leave enough time to complete larger works in the alla prima (all in one session) method that I prefer to use.  So for now, my goal is to post a small painting each week & now and then surprise viewers with a larger painting.

This week's painting is titled "Tipsy Cup."  Too bad I didn't get it posted for New Year's Eve.  This one got a little tipsy when it hit the saucer.  Some morning are like that.
