It feels good to do some loose paint sketches on paper. If this looks vaguely "Christmas" that's because it is... a few more to follow this week.

Well, my camera just does NOT do red so great, this painting is better in life.

In other news: The BAYarts Gallery has offered to show my paintings beyond the Christmas season, actually all year! I'm excited to have another gallery representing my work. I look forward to providing them a fresh selection of florals and toy paintings-- both dailies and larger pieces throughout 2009!

Here's my latest: as promised, a pair of paintings each featuring an Amaryllis. Photographing larger paintings is definitely harder than the smalls. I'll attach a detailed image too. This is one of those plants that begs to be painted again and again. I love the contrast of the geometric greens against the organic shaped reds. The set of blooms that unfolded AFTER this one was more symmetrical with each one pointing out in an orderly and level fashion. Would like to paint those too, but I'm afriad they are already wilted.
