"Last of the Summer" is a bitter sweet painting for me!  This summer has been such a great break for my kids and I, (although I did miss picking up my oil painting brushes), but in this artwork piece, I really enjoyed using the bold red colors in this piece.  Using the realism technique like I do in most of my other artwork, it was a fun challenge and I'm sure I'll be working those bold colors into some of my future upcoming pieces!

Ohhh, Patricia....  You're such a joy, although you look so stoic in your custom portrait... 

I'm not sure what it is about cows that I like... even the smell of them when I go running past the farm down the road.  (Yea, I'll admit it.  I like the smell.  Don't judge me).   

I chose to paint this in an acrylic.  Sometimes you just want a quick dry and the technique is a little different than oil painting.  Just adding a little variety!  Enjoy!

Another fun painting... and painting flowers is a little different subject matter than what I normally use in my artwork!

Clouds...  I don't know what fascinates me enough to paint them.  Maybe the ever-changing shapes, the color of the sky behind them, the way the float gently across the sky.  I just think their beautiful!  Having the ability to try and capture them in a landscape can be a challenge but totally worth it!

Oh my word.... I LOVED working on this piece of art!!!  It was a larger painting that what I'm normally used to working with, but it was a great challenge and definitely something I'll be trying again in the future.  The challenge of realism painting can be frustrating sometimes and I wonder if other fine art painters ever hit a certain time in their process where they want to throw up their brushes and walk away, but for me, the obsession is stronger than the frustration and it becomes a challenge to "beat" it.  Maybe it's a competitive thing.... anyway, after the aftermath, I can say I ended up very happy with this piece of artwork!

That's quite a pear you've got there.... well, pears.  Anyway, this painting was a lot of fun to work on.  I have weird obsession with teal... blue, green, a mixture of the two... I'll take it any way it comes, especially in a fine art painting!  I'm really happy with the way the oranges and yellows compliment the teal bowl and gray background of this painting.
