This is a quick head study of a man. I thought that I would do some of these periodically over the next few weeks.

Daily Painting - Still Life - Christmas Ornaments
Christmas Ornaments 5 in. x 7 in. Oil On Panel - BID ON OR BUY THIS PAINTING.
This is the first time that I have created a painting with Christmas ornaments. These are a few of the ornaments that we use on our tree every year and I thought that the idea of using them was interesting. The composition is built around a lot of light, shine, and reflection. Because of all of the detail this painting isn't technically a daily painting, it took a couple of days to finish this one up. I hope that you enjoy it!

Daily Painting - Still Life - Limes
Limes 5 in. x 7 in. Oil On Panel - BID ON OR BUY THIS PAINTING.
I have painted limes as part of larger paintings a few times before but never as the main subject. This painting is two limes, one whole and in the shadows and the other cut and in the light. I thought that It made for an interesting composition especially with the heavy shadow hiding most of the whole lime. Fun painting to create. I hope that you enjoy it!

Daily Painting - Still Life - Green Apples And Pear
Green Apples And Pear 5 in. x 7 in. Oil On Panel - BID ON OR BUY THIS PAINTING.
I haven't created a painting in chiaroscuro (objects surrounded and emerging from shadow) style in a while and I thought that this was a good subject for it. This composition is a little different for me also. I typically have the light originating from the right and the largest object in the composition on the left. For this painting I have the light from the right, but I have the largest object on the right and the size of the apples diminishing toward the left. I really like the painting. I hope that you enjoy it too!

Daily Painting - Still Life - Basegall Glove
Baseball Glove 8 in. x 10 in. Oil On Panel - SOLD
The subject is a baseball glove and baseball. This is actually my glove that I used for years. I had really enjoyed painting a pair of leather work boots the other day and I was talking to a friend about it and he suggested that I do the glove. I'm really glad that I did. It was a very fun painting to create. I placed the glove in a natural light setting which I think gave it a nice feel without any forced drama from heavy shadows. To me it kind of looks like it was just dropped there after someone used it. I hope that you enjoy the painting!

Daily Painting - Still Life - Pink Dress
Pink Dress 8 in. x 10 in. Oil On Panel - BID ON OR BUY THIS PAINTING.
The subject is a pink dress on a wooden hanger. I had thought about doing this painting for several months and finally got the opportunity. The dress belongs to my daughter, and since she wasn't home I 'borrowed' it from her closet. This is a real contrast from the work boot painting that I did a couple of days ago and looking at the finished painting makes me feel happy and a little nostalgic at the same time, not sure why though. I also thought that the composition and colors were interesting, there are triangle shapes in the painting everywhere. I hope that you enjoy it.
