Another experiment on yupo paper
Fun but messy!

"Florida Grown" Painted on 300 lb. arches paper, not the typical paper I use but it is very forgiving to abuse. I was unhappy half way through this painting so I dipped the entire sheet in a tub of water reactivated the paint and went back in with a large brush, what a difference taking that chance made! It ended up being quite successful and even made it into a National show. My life long friend now displays it in her home.

"Five Onions" I started this one a little different glazing the shadows first then painted the onions, it came out o.k. I need a little work at this new method.

"Grandmothers Silver" size 16 x 20 matted. Thanks to Joan for bringing this silver teapot into class.

It was a very busy weekend, went to a demo on Sat. and Opening on Sun. time for painting but no new painting to show, just this one from the past and already SOLD. It did however take 1st prize in the RIWS members show.

One of my favorite still lifes ever.

"Onions" watercolor matted measures 16 x 20. I think we will paint some more of these beauties in watercolor painting class next week.

SOLD
