My wife and I had a Halloween party last night. It was great fun with awesome costumes. This lemon was the smallest part of cleanup for the night. I had to save it to paint it. I haven't done a lemon in a while. The is post number 241 for my Daily Painting blog.

I really enjoyed painting this one. The pear came together easily and the fabric was a great challenge. I spent about ten minutes modeling the fabric to be just right. It plays an important role in the painting's composition.

Here is another on gallery wrapped canvas. I enjoyed painting on this surface this time. I'm not sure why, it just came together. It's strange how different a painting can feel when you are using different surfaces. Does that make sense?

Back when I was in school I took the train each day. I used spend entire train rides sketching everything around me. I painted this today from an old pencil sketch I did of a passenger I would see most days. He had a lot of character to him with his rough beard. This is post number 235 for my Daily Painting blog.

It's pretty apparent that Fall is here. The leaves in the forest behind my house are changing colors more and more by the day. I happend to glance at this leaf and thought it had the perfect shape to it. It was also crisp enough to stand up on it's side like this.

This is very similar to a painting I did a while ago except it's bigger. It's on gallery wrapped canvas with the edges painted black. Personally I prefer to paint on a hard surface like board as opposed to canvas, but it was a nice change.

I went from hating this painting to absolutley loving it in about an hour and a half. It really helped getting away from it yesterday. After about 30 minutes I came back to it cool, calm and collected. I got these 2 bottles at that resale shop I go to. Grand total for both bottles including tax...91¢. How can I pass that up?
Oil on 1/4" Board. 12" x 7" Work In Progress
I got caught up in a commission earlier this evening and ended up trying to rush this one. I started to get frustrated and decided I would stop and post a work in progress to take a little break. I will try to finish it up tonight now that the pressure is off to post something today. I wanted to paint something more complex after yesterday's minimalist composition.

Okay,
Kind of a quick one tonight. I wish I could say I have all the time I want to paint but that's just not true. Anyway, I have some larger work I am working on at the moment and hope to post one of those soon. This is post number 229 for the Daily Painting blog.

I had this painting about 90% done and decided it needed something in the forground...an old school yellow pencil. Now I am able to say I am satisfied with this one.
