Quail

Posted in art on November 10, 2011 by karenwilliams

With the start of school and all the busyness that comes with that, I haven’t had much time to paint…or blog. I have been inspired by my students to do some painting, and the crazy quail running through my yard preparing for winter just make me smile, so I thought I would paint them…as they dance across my yard!

Flowers in Yellow Vase

Finished with this one for now.  I need to remember that I am trying to loosen up, and feel like the flowers are getting to tight! Time to move on to something different!

More carnations

I liked the other composition of the pink carnation painting, so I decided to do another one, but with a different table cover and colors.

New Lavender flowers

I changed the lavender flowers, mostly the vase and the contrast. I like it better.

I think this painting changed 5 times before I stopped and decided to just let it be for a while. I will spend some time looking at it. I’m not sure I like the color behind the vase, or maybe it is the vase color. I don’t  know, but it will reveal it’s self sooner or later! I actually started with the blue in the back ground, and had different shaped flowers. But then I did some negative painting and changed the back ground. It was fun!

I recently purchased a dvd workshop by Robert Burridge, and have been trying a few new things. This is one of them, although it does go along with the abstract landscapes I was working on. I have learned to be a lot looser, and I like it!

Bachelor Blues

Been working on this one for the last 3 days, I need to take a step back and just look at it for a while. I really like the colors in it.

Way too long

Posted in art on August 11, 2011 by karenwilliams

have been trying to paint again. Between teaching and the family, it is tough, but the last 3 weeks have been productive. I tried to go to a workshop in June, but it was full…so I bought the DVD and have been inspired! I was working on abstract landscapes, but have moved on to fruit and flowers. Here are a few that are done. I have been trying to work with color, lights against darks, for a more dramatic look.

I did this one very quickly. I would like to do it again. I like the composition, but I think I need to change some colors to create more depth. I also want to abstract it more!
