Finished. I really like the heavy contrast of the red with the greys.

Done and dusted… or varnished. If you like this, or any of my others, you can find them on my Etsy shop at www.etsy.com/shop/CarterC.... Your support would mean everything.

Finally decided to add the leaves to this one. Still not finished, but getting closer. Painting each individual leaf brings its own kind of zen.

Update to one WIP. Look closely (or not so closely) to see where I have made changes as I work out the design in real time. It can be a real struggle sometimes knowing when to step away.

WIP. My lines are never straight. Instead of busting out the ruler, I embrace it. One of my fave things to do when viewing art, especially masterpieces, is getting up close to see the human element. An uneven brushstroke, a crooked line. It makes the work and artist all the more real.

As promised, WIP (and my humble work station). I use a water-soluble graphite pencil to sketch.

I like the water-soluble because it washes away when I begin to apply paint, but I don’t like it because it can discolor the paint. Any suggestions?

Freshly varnished. I really love this one. #art #artsky #blueskyart

Another tree I made. I usually carefully paint each individual leaf with several layers, but I wanted to try something different with this one. Again, this one didn’t turn out as I imagined, but it did grow on me pretty quickly. I love the drippy gold. #art

I love the contrast of the blue on the deep red. It’s probably my favorite contrast combination. #art

Here’s another one I made quite some time ago featuring (though slightly hidden this time) another owl. #art

This one sold recently. It is one of the first I painted in this style. (Oil and acrylic on canvas board.) #art

This one was a fun, swirly, purple experiment. #art

What’s more Floridian than a neon flamingo? (Oil on canvas board) #art

Had a lot of fun with this one. Really happy with how it turned out. #art

Official title, “Whimsy in the Wisteria.” Unofficial title… “The F*** You Lookin’ At?” #art

This one took on a life of its own. Really had to let go to let this one grow.

Created this guy some time ago and have attempted other versions but none come close to the original. #art

Really loved playing with the bright colors in this one. (Limonata Rosa) #art #blueskyart
