Re: Painting #2
Here's the latest on Painting #2,
I feel like I have to set it aside for a while.
I have not completely gone through the "which is more subtle" stage yet.
The whites get washed out in the photo.
Here's a closeup of the statue and brush holder.
All comments and suggestions are more than welcome.
It is only the second painting using Mark's method so I am still in the learning mode.
Re: WiP_Evening scene. Oil on canvas. 14X24 inches
Started working on this yesterday.
The conquest of the caribbean, oil 39 x 31
Hi!!! it's been a while 
I just finished this painting, it's for a contest here in Quintana Roo, it's supposed to be allusive to the foundation of the state... i have my fingers crossed so the judges like it 
all comments and critiques are very wellcome, as the paint is still wet and I have plenty of time to make adjustments!!!
thanks all!

Re: Off Harbor Road, 18" x 12", oil on ACM
Thank you everyone, I appreciate the support.
@tassieguy, there isn't a web site showing the work unfortunately. It was the Cambridge Art Association Fall Salon, and the same show at which my "Tar Spot" leaf painting got an honorable mention last year.
I do know there were 137 pieces on display, and I would say only 4 would be considered straight realism. Lots of great pieces though, sculpture, lots of mixed media, fabric, plenty of abstract.

Re: Practicing values
Trying to get some usage out of the easel before it goes on Monday. 6x6" on ampersand gessobord, painting of my friends house in South Chicago. Mainly trying to capture colours / values to work up to a larger painting at some point in the future.

Re: Strada Easel paint from life every day for 30 days challenge
Thank you for the kind words and encouragement - @PaulB , thank you for the belly laugh that was needed...… those poor "deer" how did you find that???? LOL
I spent too much time today working on the blue that I love so much... I intended to paint a study of some geranium blooms in a bowl... the blue and lemon needed attention... i'm still in the challenge because I painted from life today... here is my final and signed blue and lemon.... i'll get a proper name when i'm not so exhausted

Re: A Front Entrance - 24" x 36" oil on canvas - WIP - Blocking In Darks - Update
I'm not quite finished establishing all the darkest areas, silhouettes of plants in the bottom foreground, shadows in the door frame and in the statue come next. The large dark areas here will not remain so, I will come back to add subtleties, lighter color over it in areas using interesting brush strokes (this is my goal, I hope to succeed).
Thank you.
