"Arrangement in red, green and blue" Still life with apple, orange and flowers


18" x 24" oil on canvas

I used an old painting primed with a layer of oil paint in this one, I was experimenting with that set background and trying to make use of it, I found out that you can come up with interesting results but didn't like painting over the glassy surface of dried oil and the edges were harder to control so I had to overpaint certain parts since I wasn't getting the needed control that I'm used to, but I think that changing your approach to paint always yields some new insights.

"Radiance" 6x8 Female nude daily painting a day on panel

6" x 8" Oil on canvas on panel
This came out to be an interesting color study and I was mainly concerned with shapes, values and color patterns and the way they connect between each other in rhythms, the light envelopes all the shapes in this composition and they influence each other creating reflecting light, so nothing is separate as they're all puzzles in the larger picture.

Portrait commission, oil on canvas


11"x14" Oil on canvas
Private collection in London, UK.
The reference that was used for this portrait was a low-res black and white photograph, not a great source for a painting but sometimes that's all you have and when there's a distance involved the opportunity to have the person pose for you is very limited, regardless of that I think it was a good outcome and the essence of the person was captured well.

The trumpet player - Figurative gallery art by California artist


Sold
5" x 7" Oil on gessoed panel
This little trumpet player brought music to my painting, it's funny how both music and painting co relate with each other with the notes and tonal values and also setting up the composition.

Dark feather - original Daily still life Oil painting with an ink bottle


5" x 7" Oil on canvas panel
The lightness of the feather and the grounded ink bottle suggest 2 polarities, like the sky and the earth, at the same time both the feather and bottle are dark, just to make things more confusing:)

I've set this figure up to look at the distance with a sense of yearning, like she's looking for a higher purpose, even though the future is abstract and unknown she has the choice to hope for something better.

6" x 8" Oil on canvas panel

This still life composition was all about color and I was trying to capture all the color variables that drew my attention in the first place, from the warmer tones to the cooler violets, I really like how all these colors relate to each other and connect the whole piece together.
