Last year I was asked to illustrate the Christmas Mushroom for a gift. In order to create a final piece, I needed to illustrate several potential paintings. Below demonstrates how I worked on more then one illustration before deciding on the triple mushroom piece in watercolor on Bristol 400. Finally, I began to work on a mini acrylic painting which is unfinished. Happy New Year!!

This year I displayed two tables. One table consisted of my mother's fine art prints on canvas and paper along with my mini prints on canvas and mini acrylics on canvas. The other table I displayed six gold leaf framed Plein Air paintings representing my original work. You may purchase these paintings and prints along with other work on my website located at: https://www.stilegalleryshop.com In this video, I share a little insight into how I might begin the painting process for a particular body of work such as in my acrylic shell compositions. I show how I spend time seeking objects of interest along the beach front for sketchbook material, watercolor and acrylic. Many of these studies are then used as reference material for larger scale paintings done in the studio.
Each day a new tulip would open up in the garden with striking colors that I couldn't help but to pick up my sketch book and pencils and head outdoors for a quick drawing study. Recently I have been exploring using colored pencils which has never been one of my favorite mediums as I prefer to use a painting medium. |
AuthorI feel as if my artwork gives the viewer an insight into my life's journey. This is most evident in a plein air painting, where I can reflect back to a time and location. My sketchbooks tell a different story of thoughts and ideas scribbled within my drawing and painting studies. Archives
