12x9 plein air oil on Belgian Linen Panel

I was invited to join a friend for painting at her studio.  After I returned home, the day was still so pretty that I didn't want to stop painting yet.  So I looked around and spotted my blue umbrella and ochre-y-green place mats and the dark pink chrysanthemums and got right to work!
A fun sketch to stretch out my painting day.

Morning Fresh Eggs


 18"x24" Alla Prima Oil on Belgian Linen Canvas  Painted form life.  While I plein air painted on a rural property (a small farm with horses, chickens, dogs and cats) outside of Charleston, SC, the kind and generous owner gave me a dozen of her chicken's freshest and most beautiful eggs.  I had to paint them before I ate them.  This is also a study in "whites" an exercise in monochromatic color scheme where any color beyond "white" is found in the focal point.

Portrait of Kristin - Strada Easel September Challenge & Oil Painters of America's Wet Paint Competition submission


 My sweet daughter took the time during her lunch time from school to sit for an hour on Day #11 of the Strada Easel September Challenge and then again the next day for a couple of hours representing Day #12 of the Strada Easel September Challenge and to provide for me an entry into the OPA "Wet Paint" Competition.  We had to finish it up the second day before she had to leave for work which is why I didn't spend more time developing the painting (I had until 10:00 PM that day to submit it).
