Pot of Gold

Image
Pot of Gold Big bold brush strokes danced off my brush. A little dark a little light and then the decision to paint a dark blue vase but what really brought this painting to life was the green leaves. Can you tell that I am passionate about paintings. As I look back over the few thousand I have painted I am amazed at the changes as my style continues to develop.  I have went from just copying the work or style of other artist to just doing it.  I am really having a lot of fun....can you tell..... 4x4 oil on canvas panel Buy Now

Spring Color

Image
