I love how the sun is so bright at the beach.  This is a scene from several years ago. 

I like sitting under the umbrella and taking photos of other people.

the lineup

This is painted on a 2 foot by 3 foot panel. I did not paint itin honor of New Years day. Coincidence that I post it today. I took this photo in Charleston in the Fall. I liked the way the light was shining through the tops of the bottles and plastic cups.

Happy New Year!!

One of my favorite subjects.  The sunlight was very bright and the varied colors were

very subtle inside the egg shell.  The transparency of the egg yolk was interesting

to observe.  I had a lot of fun doing this piece.

No matter how many times I paint red apples, they are always a challenge. I thought this would be a really quick painting......wrong. I spent part of yesterday and most of today on this painting, signed it and then worked another hour. All done now!

prime time

Felt like painting something warm today. The weather is so cold here in Alabama and much colder in the Eastern US. This painting is very large for me. Painted it on a 24 x 36" panel. I took the photo of this couple in Hilton Head, SC when I was taking Karin Jurick's workshop.

I have painted this little bird before and each time he has a bit of a different look. This painting is a little warmer in tone and a bit softer. I used it as a warm up painting to get back in the swing of things after the holidays. Wow, is the house ever quiet after having family visiting this week.

Apples are always fun to do. We think of them as just red or green, but when you really look hard at them you see so many beautiful colors. The actual painting is a lot richer looking than the image on my monitor. Something about photographing reds again. They are transparent and I think the camera just can't see it like our eyes can.

I found this little jewel at the grocery and knew immediately that I had to paint. it.  It reminds me of Cinderella, hence, the title!  

Carolyn McDonald, "Am I a Tomato?" 8"x8"

SOLD
I enjoy the smell of tomatoes.  When I was a child, I would take a salt shaker and wash cloth into our garden and sit in the shade of the tomato plants while I ate tomatoes to my hearts content.  The aroma of fresh tomatoes still reminds me of those special times.

Carolyn McDonald "Salt and Light" 8"x8"

($200 + s/h)

I enjoy connecting my work with my faith and, in a way,  to give thanks to the One who has given me such a great passion for painting.  The light was so strong on this particular Saturday morning and the salt really stood out.  I also liked the slight reflection on our antique kitchen table. The small chrome band around the pepper was a small challenge, but finally worked.

FLORAL BY ELIZABETH BLAYLOCK

14 X 11 OIL ON STRETCHED CANVAS

$375 plus s/h

This warm floral still life was a joy to do although I had to work hard to make it look simple... constantly softening edges and re-establishing the drawing. I took this photo outside in sunlight. The photo I took in the shade made it look like an entirely different, cool painting. Reds are hard to photograph accurately.

ELIZABETH BLAYLOCK PAINTING OF BOVINE BEAUTIES

12 X 12 OIL ON STRETCHED CANVAS

$325 plus s/h

This weekend I took a workshop with a great artist, WD Thompson. He does lovely glowing oils with a lot of palette knife. You can see his work at wdthompsonart.com. I felt that I was in a bit of a rut with my painting and a workshop with an artist whose work I admired just might be the fix. Did I ever have fun loosening up and playing with the palette knife. I did this impressionistic painting of cows yesterday and I think it has a pleasing freshness.
