In A Pickle by Angela Sullivan

 In A Pickle by Angela Sullivan
I find glass jars quite the challenge. It is interesting to decide where you will let the background
color peep in to add reflection and light. I liked manipulating the paint to form the texture on the pickles. I originally planned to make definate bumps but opted to leave them as they were. This painting is much 
more beautiful than this photo shows.

"Sunbathing"
16" x 12"
oil on board

The red in her ears, along with the red ball, caught my eye as my cat, Camille Claudell, lay in the sunshine.  She is such a lady.  She even drinks water by placing her paw in the water then licking it off.

"First Day of Summer"

I am usually drawn to a scene by the color, and I was with this piece.  However, after painting the cool and warm shadows, they became my favorite part.

Carolyn McDonald:  "Garden Party" has been on and off my easel this week.  I continue to see areas that can be improved.  I'm at a stand-still right now so it is hanging in my dining room.

PROTHONOTARY WARBLER BY ELIZABETH BLAYLOCK


8 X 10 OIL ON STRETCHED CANVAS
I photographed several colorful birds at the spring bird-banding  on Fort Morgan peninsula last week.
These birds just completed migration from the tropics, about a 40 hour flight.  Fort Morgan is one of their first land stops in the States.   I have no idea how this really yellow warbler got the name prothonotary....what does that mean anyway??
More birds to come.
Also, I was really excited to find that one of my paintings was accepted for the 2013 Oil Painter of America  Salon Exhibition.   I am honored!
