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.

I had a go at Indian Corn last year and it's deceptively simple - and I'm using "deceptive" because it wasn't in reality!
Very nice painting; oils I assume but how big?
Katherine,
I'm willing to try again on this subject...next year same time. I think I just painted it backwards this time around. I know what I would do differently, that's for sure.
The painting is 9"x 6" which was one of the problems. That made the corn about half life size, making the kernels these tiny little flicks of color, and when I tried to highlight them, the flicks of paint became even harder to apply. It's in oil and like I said, next year I'll paint bigger and in a better order.
