Some Like it Hot

Some Like It Hot

Some like it hot and head for the beach like this couple. I have been working late in the studio because it is in on the lower leavel of the house and it is nice and cool there. Artist tend to make their studios in all sorts of interesting spaces. I love to get invited to those special places of fellow artist where they creat those wonderful pieces we see on display at galleries.

 I get up early while it's cool to get things done in the yard and around the house before that 100 degree heat hits. I think a nice beach breeze would work better.I'm sure I could paint on this beach.

Where is your studio or if you are a collector what was one of the most interesting studios you have visited?

Fourth of July Cupcakes

Red White and Blue Cupcake,cherries and blue berries

About This Painting: Oil paints are extremely versatile. I used both impasto and glazing in this Fourth of July Cupcake oil painting. Oil paints can be used thickly in Impasto , like the frosting on the cupcake or extremely thinly in transparent  glazes as I have done on the cherries ; they can be opaque or transparent. Here are is a tip to help you get the most from your oils when painting.


Tip:Always lay your oil paints out on your palette in the same order so that, with time, you'll be able to pick up a bit of a colour instinctively.


I use a limited double primary palette with a few other colour's that I use regulaly. I start with white on the left, move to the yellows, reds, greens, and blue. What ever way feels right to you is okay. Just put them in the same order each time.

Wine in Sonoma

Wine in Sonoma

About This Painting: I visited Sonoma during the crush a few years ago and I remember sitting on the patio of one of the vineyards drinking a great glass of red wine and looking at the grapes growing on the distant hills. You really haven't drank wine until you are able to sit and drink it next to the vine.
