Summer dreams painting away

my latest painting of a dreamy little doe

 I wish you all a Happy ending of July !

Can you ever believe just how fast Summers go by?

WOYWW showing a work just underway on my work desk/table  of Tigers

here is my dinner table all  "tarpped up " 

so I can paint upstairs now. 

I got tired of going downstairs to the basement to paint.

and I hope I have a great show like last years. 

I love living in a town that has so much 

artistic creativity going on all the time

 and people who appreciate it.

Paint Party Friday and Loveland Paint the Town

 July 1st  we have an art event called 

"Paint the Town"

here in Loveland Ohio

I went and picked up my artist packet 

this afternoon over at 

Loveland Hardware Store

The people at the store are always so nice

 I like that place a lot!

So I  am working on doing a oil painting

 of the Loveland Presbyterian Church

It is a spectacular building and I love the look of it

So here is the way I decided to start my painting

with the help of a photo and trace it to a clear plastic sheet 

then project it to the size I need right on the canvas

this window is going to be the hardest thing to recreate

Happy painting  my friends

say a prayer for me

may have bit off more than my 

palette knife can chew

Oil Painting in the Works

Happy Friday

here is the status of my oil painting of the birch trees

for my sister.

oil painting of birch trees

start with Blue painters tape
on the areas of the tree trunks
and paint in the sky

palette knife used
to fill in the trunks and the foreground foliage

my sister would like a cardinal somewhere in here too
my first attempt failed
do you see where I rubbed it out ?

almost done
I think
I still want to add a cardinal sitting in the trees
slightly afraid i will ruin it though
Trying to get my nerve up
to finish this painting for my sister.

wish me luck  and bravery
Happy PPFriday
