Bobob Trees with Black Birds

Baobobs Trees

 

 

Once i put down background colors i drew on the canvas with vine charcol and began the painting. These trees look like small bunches of clouds with the blue sky creating contrast. I am working on positive and negative space adding patches of color in the foreground and background to create interest and pattern. A hit of red, orange and yellow warm up the painting.

New Painting on Easel

 
 
 
 
This week i began a new painting, first i have chosen paints to do the underpainting on this abandoned canvas that has burlap glued to it for texture.
In the photos you will see what the underpainting looks like before i start the composition and begin to work on the painting of Baobobs trees that i saw in photos from Madagascar.

Dog Beach is the best place for dogs. They can swim and fetch and play all day. Savannah, my golden, loves the water and will play fetch until she drops. She is the dog on the blanket, resting after a full day of swimming. This painting is Sold SOLDSOLD
