I have been doing a little bit of abstract work on the side, just for the fun of it. I really like this one.

Hey everyone, I know it has been a while. I am busy getting ready for a Solo Exhibition opening
October 7th at The Fine Arts Gallery on historic 25th in Ogden, UT More information coming soon, I hope you all can make it out sometime during the month to see the show! My most recent portrait. While I was painting this I could really tell that my colors were coming easier to me, there were some that I did that afterwards I realized I didn't even think about them. My hands just did the work. It was a really cool feeling.
When I was doing my apprenticeship with William Whitaker he used to talk about how you always have your palette set up the exact same way, and pretty soon your hands just go to colors without you having to think about it. How cool is that!? What is everyone's opinion on the unfinished look? Lets get some comments coming in! Last week my hubby sent my roses out of the blue... (: The card read "just thinking of you." aoohh how sweet. So I decided to paint them.
I wanted to do a really simple painting of these pearls that I love! I've always like that unfinished look, but the more I paint the more I like it, especially the warm underpainting coming through the cool top layer.
This is a recent still life that I did, I was experimenting with fabric, and how that could improve my work. I like the directional flow that it adds, helps to lead the eye and adds dimension. When I was finishing this I decided to warm up the painting as a whole with a glaze, and change the background a bit, thanks to my hubby's advice. Seems to flow a little better now. What would I do without critiques? (:
I started doing these tiny little paintings for small gifts and as a complimentary gift to my collectors for each piece that they buy. I started them just for fun, but I have really learned a lot from them. They are so small that I can just paint without any worries and just experiment with new things.
Here are a couple portraits I did for my hubby for Christmas. I gave him the originals and printed wallet size copies so that he could always have them with him. He likes showing off his beautiful girls (:
