Fall Painting

Remember Bob Ross?

When I was younger I used to watch Bob Ross on PBS paint. I was facinated by how he could paint a whole landscape in 30 minutes. Well at Michaels today I saw that he (or whoever has taken his name) has "how to" books. So I bought one and painted this. It takes you though each step so you can learn new techniques of painting landscapes.

So I'm sure you'll see more of these types of paintings soon.

The Beach and the Flowers

So I decided that just because I'm not taking my art class doesn't mean that I can't use my oil paints (even though technically I don't know how to use them). The Flower Pitcher I just did off the top of my head. Did a quick sketch and started painting with lots of red. There is red in every area of the painting (even the blue).

The Beach is from a picture I took while on the Gulf of Florida. I really should have added more red to this painting to warm it up.

Again, my camara makes the colors look a little different and there's a flash, which is why they are at odd angles.
