"Amber sunlit" Original female portrait oil painting a day

I started this as a sketch some time ago but never really finished it, so I revised it since it needed more values, occasionally I do this when I spot a piece on my shelf that hasn't been completed.

"Falling asleep" 12x16 Female nude Oil on canvas
12"x16" Oil on canvas
This is a piece that I did recently, it was done in two sessions with the model Ashley, she did a great job holding this pose, even though it may look easy to hold a reclining pose like this, after a couple of hours it can be tiring for the model, also a slight movement of her shoulders or back would pretty much change the whole anatomical structure.

Here's a shot of both the model and the painting taken around the end of the second session.

Daniel Peci: Featured Artist on EmptyEasel
There's a very nice article about my work on EmptyEasel.com that just came out this morning, the focus is on my drawings and preparatory sketches for my oil paintings, many thanks to Lisa Orgler for reviewing my drawings and providing new insights about my work!
You can read the full article here.
"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
sold
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.
"Fireman's ridge" 8x10 California Plein air landscape oil painting - Available
8" x 10" Oil on canvas on panel
This is a plein air study that I did yesterday on location in the Brentwood hills, this ridge is around an old fireman's road that's not in use anymore, on the south it overlooks LA and the north is facing the mountains, it was pretty windy painting there so I had to hold my easel at times so it wouldn't go where it shouldn't.

"Waiting window" 5x7 Female nude daily oil painting a day
sold
5" x 7" Oil on canvas on panel
On this piece I used a Robert Simmons Titanium series brush, I don't usually paint with synthetics but I wanted to try this one out, it's a very resistant brush and can take a lot of beating which is good, on the down side it doesn't take too much paint and it leaves rather thinner strokes, overall it's pretty good but I think I'm gonna stick to more organic choices.
"Reverie" original figurative art female nude painting a day
Sold
6" x 8" Oil on canvas panel
The idea behind this piece was to materialize the connection between the female and nature and see it in a more apparent form where the personal identity is dissolved in the vastness of the collective unconscious.
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.

"Roses" Original Art still life oil Gallery painting on canvas panel - Available
8" x 10" Oil on canvas on panel
This is the first time I'm painting roses, I find it a particularly challenging task because there are many subtle tonal and color changes within the flower which you have to notice that will determine if the painting's gonna be successful.

"The secret" 5x7 Art female figure oil painting a day on panel

I wanted to convey a sense of suspense in this one with the girl holding the crumpled letter in her hands like she's trying to hide or forget something without anyone noticing it.

Portrait commission
9"x12" Oil on canvas
Private collection, London, UK.
This is a portrait commission that I did recently, I had to work from a photograph that has more then one light source on the subject which is not so great to work from, but sometimes you have to make a compromise and learn something from it along the way.When doing portraits like this the likeness is imperative since the person that commissioned the portrait wants it to look like the actual person not like his neighbour or something.
Here are some shots that I took while working on it...
I start straight into painting, without any preliminary drawing, not for everyone unless you are sure of your drawing skills.I block in the big mass first and start from the left eye, this way I have a reference point that I can judge the rest of the shapes accordingly.
From the left to the right eye, the alignment of the eyes is the key here.
His hair is white as it can be so I have to put that white color there so I can judge the rest of my values against my whitest whites.
I add the desired background that I think its gonna work plus I can get some edgework done even at this stage covering most of the upper portion of the face...
These are just a few key frames from the painting process, maybe I'll do a video soon that will be more explanatory.

Small treasure - Oil on panel painting with a female figure
Sold
6" x 8" Oil on canvas panel
I was thinking how much are women dependent on their bags and purses where they carry all of their "small treasures" inside, on the other hand I guess it's a good thing if you have almost everything you need in just one bag.
Carmine dress - Art painting with a female figure by Gallery Artist

5" x 7" Oil on gessoed panel

The hidden trail - Plein Air Impressionist landscape paintings by California artist
5" x 7" Oil on gessoed panel
It's one of those places where there's a naturally formed trail by the mountain that's not so obvious to first glance, it took my attention and I was painting frantically before the day ceases and takes away all the light from my painting.

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