Beach Girl...almost there



Here's Beach Girl again. I've still got to mask out the Umbrella pole and add in her two compatriots in the water.

Auction results for the original which sold last year in November. Estimated at $10,000-$15,000. It sold for over $51,000.

The original is 48"x50".

My copy is 14"x18".

Barnsdall Art Tree #2



Here it is again...the Barnsdall Tree again. I wanted to try out using a larger brush and a different brush strokes. I like the strokes but I think I like the 1st one I did better.

The Bright colors aren't bad though...



Clouds: Another Try



Starting to get the hang of clouds. It's almost you've just got to make it up and cartoon it a bit since they are so fleeting. Like drawing big cottonballs in the sky. But I think it's getting there.

Still In progress....my attempt to copy this painting 'Beach Girl, 1975' by Gregory Kondos. Going to continue to work on it. I am fascinated how he composed this painting, the amazing colors and how he captured the waves. It's really a beautiful painting.

My Horizon Line!! It's sinking...and stinking!!!

His slightly, gently rises to the right and make such a difference.

Clouds: StayTuned






Clouds are fleeting and not easy to paint! But I am ever fascinated by the sky. Here is my attempt mid progress. I want to work more on this one....
