Springtime Light 9x12 oil on hard board

Springtime Light 9x12 oil on board

This is a quick little study I did yesterday. It is a tree line I saw recently. The trees I saw were

all brown and dormant for the winter, I

played with blues, lavenders, greens and yellows.

The trees I set up on a ridge and had the light hit one side intensely with just a hint of new leaves.

Part reality, part imaginary, I hope you enjoy my Springtime trees!

Garden Radishes Debra Sisson Oil Painting Still Life Art Vegetables Garden Organic

Oil on Raymar panel, 8" x 6".

I changed my palette of colors a bit to paint these attractive radishes and came up with some new mixtures for greens and grays.  I'm still debating the look, but it felt like a good change while I was in the process.  The beautiful color patterns of radishes always make me smile anyway.

Pasture Foal Debra Sisson Oil Painting Horse Portrait Farm Animal Art Pet Equine

Oil on Raymar panel, 5" x 7".

It is such a simple subject to paint and the form is so beautiful in its simplicity.  A young foal is lying with his long, skinny legs tucked neatly underneath him and this presents a calm and reflective pose to me.  The sun feels so good!  Especially in the winter.

let me lend you a hand...by Leslie Newman 8x10 oil on panel

                                                                                                                                                                                                                

If you have spent any time in large cities, you may have likely seen scenes similar to this in the city parks.

Different groups of older men (usually) hanging out, playing cards, or chess. This painting reflects that scene. 

Last fall while in Washington D.C  visiting my daughter and her family, I went to my favorite Art shop several times. It is called Utrecht Art Supply Store in Downtown  D.C. While there, I saw an artist postcard up on their bulletin board. It was by an artist named Shelley, and it had a similar picture of a painting on it of the older men in the park playing card games on it. This was a painting so similar to what I wanted to do. So, when I got home from my trip, I got to work and did my own version of this idea. I changed some of the things in the painting to make it my own. Notice the younger man at the end of the table showing them a thing or two, while it appears the man at the end  of the table is snoozing.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Lop Eared Rabbit Debra Sisson Watercolor Painting Pet Art Bunny Portrait

Watercolor on Arches watercolor paper, 6" x 7.5".

I sometimes forget how much I enjoy painting bunnies.  Their rabbit eyes are very distinctive and appealing.  This guy's nose was a winner I thought.  I built (painted) his fluffy coat and soft ears with several transparent layers of watercolor which gave him the softeness that I wanted.  His coloring was also something I enjoyed working with.

Boxed Pears Debra Sisson Oil Painting Fruit Art Still Life Organic Food Kitchen

Oil on canvas, 6" x 8".

Three pears in my paintbox spoke to me for the New Year ahead.  They were a roudy bunch but we did have some fun!  I liked their plump shapes posing for me against the straight lines of the compartments of the paintbox.
