Light and Shade Daisies-SOLD

Drove up in my driveway and what do i see growing next to the house, but these cool daisies. they must be wild... i didnt plant em.

i like the way the white shadow part of the daisy glows, but still stays in the cooler/darker shadow family. thats the challenge of painting things that glow. if you get em too light you destroy the light/shade pattern, a definate no-no in painting.

Sittin' Up- 8x8

Headed to Vision Gallery for the upcoming show

This one's painted from a smaller study done a month ago.

i'm working on keeping the larger ones as loose and spontaneous as the smaller plein air pieces. i'm not there yet but heading in the right direction. now to do it three times as big and keep it loose.
