I'm going to post at least two paintings a week...minimum. Most will be 5"x 7" to keep things small, but like the first one...they will vary. I'll be including a link to Ebay to bid on these. Any that don't sell will be designated on this blog, and can be purchased for the minimum of $100.00

I've been an artist since age 5, when I remember drawing an airplane better than my older brother. It was a bi-wing with a propeller, (not that I'm that old... it was 1957 and it was a racing plane), and it was encouraging because up until then, it was the only thing I could remember doing better. I kept at it, and now nearly 50 years later I'm still trying to improve my creative process. Now I realize you never get better than anyone else... just more unique to your own style, and become the best painter you can be.

That one really glows. Fantastic!
This one is my favorite orange painting yet. I'm a sucker for contrast and you nailed it between the dark background and the lit portion of the peeled orange. Very dramatic. I like!!!!!!!!!!!
love the feeling of light...just great
Wow! I love how you captured the luminosity of the light and orange, great job.

I love the looseness of the background application, and the light coming through the orange is amazing.
I think I better paint more oranges. It's kind funny how this works, but my favorite color must be red. I have more fun working with warm and cool shades of the red spectrum than the green or blue. Matter of fact, I could stare all day at a red toned painting, give a blue painting a little bit of attention, but will get tired of a green dominated painting altogether. I try to paint secnes like those, but don't think I enjoy them as much or have as much sucess as a good old red dominated piece.Thanks for the compilments.
nice sense of translucency coming thru the mass causing great believable volume here of the orange...well done!
Wonderful! The atmosphere is great. The orange almost feels as if it is lit from the inside...Great Job!!!
Nice range of very persuasive values on this one
As others have commented, the light is incredible in this one - quite notably the beautiful glow through the orange, but also, the way it plays on the peel really gives a great sense of texture to this piece. This is beautiful!
