I’m hoping to finish the grisaille on this piece today with a good 6+ hours in the studio.
I find it hard to get myself in the studio before noon. What is your most productive work time?

Point of view painting from this calm and magical spot. Thunder rumbled through and bees buzzed happily around me as sheep and cows roamed through the fields.

Plein air painting in the valley! I had to dodge a lot of fun bugs and spiders for this one 😅

I took my time with this piece and focused on keeping it loose. At the very end, I added a few veins and crisp edges to the leaves.
My artists who paint loose, do you find it hard to not go straight into the details from the first stroke?

Testing out a new filming set-up. We rigged the top of a tripod to the arm of a podcast mic… let’s see how it goes 😅

While Georgia is named after a King, we already decided that we will not be ruled by one.

I painted this #limegreen vase last spring, when the weather was still chilly, but the days were getting sunnier. Happy as ever to be seeing the first signs of spring again! Also loving all the nature I’m seeing today in #acoloradaypril! 🌞💛

Happy #BlueSkyArtShow day! I think these beauties fit today’s theme, #peaceful
I live in a small medieval village near the countryside where I occasionally get to see these lovely sheep 🐑🤍

I’m stoked with how this quick study came out! I like the background unfinished with the orange-red tone showing, but I can’t decide if it’s too distracting.

What do y’all think? Keep the orange-red or paint the background neutral/gray to unify it?

Finishing touches on this limited palette still-life! It was fun, but challenging to get back to my artistic roots using only 4 colors: ultramarine blue, burnt Siena, cadmium yellow, and titanium white!

This is my first #blueskyartshow! I hope this piece, featuring an #arch detail, is appropriate for the theme today. This piece, called “Farfalla” 🦋, recently sold at a local art gallery in #savannahga!
