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.

nice different shades of colors in both paintings. but i agree with you on the beach one, something needs to be added to it, to give it some more depth or something. but it's nice in the sand area.

I really like the beach painting. It looks very very similar to the picture. You are a great painter hun.
