 The 1st photo I took was after doing a first pass at his skin tones, facial features and hat.

 

I then added the sax

 Then onto his clothing, always

paying attention to where the light is coming from.

More clothing added keeping the light and shadows in check

 

 Then I had to go back in and correct the skin tones once the clothing was set.

I felt the back ground needed to show the light and shadow areas as well instead of what was in the original photo, as is shown below. This is a photo I took about 2 years ago and have been thinking about painting since then! Once I started it, it just flowed!

Charleston Artist Guild Gallery

Well, we forgot to take pictures of the reception last night! But I am happy to report that the gallery and I had a great turn out. Lots of interest in and sales, not only in my art, as I am the FEATURED ARTIST in May but also in some of the other great ART we have in the gallery. 

Despite the cooler temps and a bit of drizzle, we were very excited to greet you all!

It was also French Quarter Artwalk so we had plenty of art lovers in the area. 

Thanks for coming by and stay in touch!

This is one of my oldies but goodies. 

It's a watercolor, image size 11 x 14 but matted and framed in a 16 x 20 frame. 

I painted it several years ago while living in St Louis, MO! Was having lunch with my painting buddies

(gosh, I miss you all!!!!!) and this was on the table. And obviously in our vision where we couldn't talk to each other, so we moved it to the window and voila! The scene was set. Had to paint it.

I'm proud to say it has won 2 awards. 

It is one of my favorites but would love for it to find a new home 

as it moves around a lot in my home.... making way for new paintings!

These little birds have so much character, I just love painting them!

The one in the back, upper left is really giving his friend a little talking to and the one in the fore ground is taking it all in and happy to not be a part of the scolding.

At Rest

I found this small fishing boat off the coast of France several years ago! 

I knew that it would be in a painting one of these days!

It was just sitting there at rest, waiting for his fisherman.
