For My Mother

Well there was good news and bad news on this painting. First the bad... I had a client purchase a lovely painting on ebay only to find out that I had already sold it... Oops... sold it twice. That is the bad news. The good news is taht I had the good fortune to do a commissioned piece for my client instead and include a photo of her very own mother and include some of her very own sacred objects. What a fun time! I really enjoyed workin with her and getting a chance to do somehting special for her.

Step by Step Still Life

Notice, no detail till nearly finished.  Start with blocking in main color areas, make sure to cover every inch of the canvas with something.  Also notice you don't have to paint everything in in perfect detail.  We paint how the eye sees.... When you are looking at one specific thing, everything else looses its detail.  I like to pick an area or two where I paint a flower or flowers in well and let the viewer make up the rest with their own eyes.  If I paint one cherry blossom well, the viewer now knows that all those other white, flowery things are cherry blossoms, for example.

Painting the Impressionist Still Life with Margaret Aycock

The reader will learn how to set up a still life, compose a painting,mix color for lights and shadows,achieve different effects with brushwork and follow the painting process from start to finish. I tried to pack everything I know about painting the still life into this book. Tons of knowledge transfers over to painting portraits and landscape as well. Lots of tips and tricks. This book has over 50 color photos to help my visual learners.

"Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson from "Reflections on a Course in Miracles" My hope is that my painting will be that shining light.
