Rainy Night in Tulsa

This is a painting that I did from a photo of Tulsa at night that I took last year. The photo was just after a rain and I wanted to make this painting a little later in the evening and a little more rainy. I just darkened everything a bit and softened some edges w some diagonal brush strokes to indicate both rain and fog. Hopefully I was able to pull it off. This one is for sale by auction through my ebay gallery or you may contact me directly for purchase.

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

"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.
