Painting for March 7, 2013

 

 

 

  This is my study for  a big painting.  I'm undecided about the background color.  Having all these donuts around has been torture.  I might have to buy more so there is variety.  Pink with sprinkles will be the next layer.  Will they last until the painting is finished?

As soon as this dozen is gone and I have finished the big painting of donuts,  I am going to have to find a subject with fewer calories.

We bought a dozen donuts today.  The only one I had to eat was the peanut one because it would have been  too hard to paint.

Painting a Day (from one day last week)

 

I worked on a big painting today.  My last post shows the big painting, but mainly I wanted to show a photo of the shadow box that my husband made for me.  I am very lucky to have such a nice husband.

Shadow Box

 

 

Shadow Box that my husband made for me.  The sides are insulation board which is very lightweight, the base is mdf board and it is mounted on a Timber Tuff chain saw sharpener stand.  The reason we bought the stand is because it is sturdy, adjustable and reasonable in cost. If you have any questions,  just email me.  I am so happy with it.  It has really helped in isolating the light and getting rid of extra shadows. 

 

 

 

 

Yesterday's small painting was done from this set-up and today I am doing a big 18 x 36.  It's only partially completed.

Painting a Day

 

I tried to put each lemon at a different angle.  Painting yellow is always a challenge.  My plan is to do a big painting from this, probably 18 x 36.  I'm not sure if it look right bigger than life

These are frames that I just ordered from FRANKEN FRAMES.  I am very happy with them.  They are sort of modern looking and work well with the flat panels that I use for the 6 x 6 paintings a day. 

I was also pleased with the great communication they provided and the prompt service.

Painting a Day - March 2, 2013

 

I started this one yesterday and finished it today.  I guess it doesn't qualify for "Painting a Day"
